Binging the “dungeon crawler Carl” books by Matt Dinniman. I just started the fourth one, “the gate of the feral gods”. I still like reading them for the mindless fun factor. I don’t know if I’ll read them all in one go, I’ve also got “midnight black” by Mark Greaney on my to read list, and I’ve always liked the gray man books. And I still haven’t read the latest two Jack Reacher novels, but those are lower on the list this moment.

Foxes would definitely be a problem, but cats don’t go near the chickens over here.

Yeah, that’s it.

Not a lot, make sure they have food and water, and that they are sheltered from predators at night. We have six hens and a rooster. The work consists of cleaning the coop once a week, and at the same time clean and refill the water dispenser and fill up the food reservoir. My kids do this in half an hour. We also have to pick up the eggs daily. We raised our Brahma chickens ourselves after hatching them in an incubator, and they are wonderful pets.

Edit: because we feed them a more varied diet, the eggs also taste better.

These all require someone to actually pick up the phone, instead of playing an automated message.

As a European I have to say, you are very optimistic about our train schedules.

LTB jeans were always a good affordable choice IMO.

I finished “dungeon crawler Carl” by Matt Dinniman, and currently reading the second book in the series “Carl’s doomsday scenario”. So, even though I didn’t remember getting the first book, and being a bit reluctant to start it, I enjoyed it a lot. I did have to get into it for a while. Overall the pacing is nice, the humor is great without getting in the way. The premise of the story is of course quite nonsensical, but it doesn’t get in the way of some good storytelling. All in all a very entertaining book.

I saw one on reddit this morning which was even better! (it was since deleted by the mods there)

It’s not where, if money was no object, I would be on holiday semi-permanent.

Finished the fifth and sixth books in the “old mans war” series. I am now starting “dungeon crawler Carl” by Matt Dinniman. I had it on my ereader, I don’t know why or when I put it there. So I’m going in blind, will give an update how it went next week!

TLDR: They didn’t clash, but merely shared their insights, which were actually quite similar.

Poffertjes!

I’ve been working with my current company for 6 years, company before this one 11 years, before that one 8 years (and before that some shorter terms). These last two times I’ve switched because I didn’t like the way the company was managed anymore (and where my job was going because of that), coworkers were great and pay was fine both times. I found it refreshing to start somewhere new both times, you get to reposition yourself because you have no history in the company and you can view the “company politics” from some distance. Based on my experience I would always advice to look for a new job when in doubt.

Here’s a re-enactment!

I finished the third and fourth book in John Scalzi’s “old man’s war” series. Currently on the fifth (out of six), so I expect to be looking for something else in the following week. I probably won’t be reading a lot this weekend due to carnival though.

The books in “old man’s war” are overall a good read, I liked the third book a little less (the fourth one made up for this), and I’m also not sold on the fifth one yet. Depending on my mood after reading the sixth book I’ll probably look into other works by Scalzi. I might also check out some SF books by Charles Stross, I did enjoy “the laundry files” a lot.

I hope the Democrats get their heads out of their asses

All you need to know is this.

As a person in good health turning 50 this year, I’m sorry for my contemparies, and most of all fuck Putin.

This guy called it!
