"The scarab path" by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Book 5 of the series "Shadows of the apt". I started book one like a month ago so yeah, been loving these. It's a refreshingly original fantasy series.

Did anybody follow that single microfilm source citing? Curious if it pans out

Jesus christ. Nobody should go through that. I'm so sorry.

Honest question do you view someone fetishizing you and liking you for you as mutually exclusive? Like I'm pro basketball level tall, and if someone fetishized that I think I'd just view that as me not having to work as hard to turn them on.

Jesus christ man she said "nothing is off limits" not "start a holy war to end all wars"

Yeah. I always tell newbies "nobody ever got a promotion for work their boss didn't know they did." Sadly if you produce 100 units of value and the boss only knows about 10 of them the guy who did 20 units but won't shut up about it looks 2x as valuable even though he's actually doing 1/5 the work. Trick is to be doing the most work and have people see it

But the correct answer to "if you could only take one item back in time what would it be?"

I mean, sure lots of atheists are assholes. But many of us were raised religious. For sure I know more atheists raised religious than I know religious folks raised atheist. Either way folks should just let folks make up their own minds

I mean they're cartels mining gold in vast untamed stretches of jungle. Honestly scouting out illegal gold mining sites in that kind of situation is one of the only practical uses I can imagine for a jetpack today

I mean JS is the ideal tool for a particular subset of problems. But it does seem like it gets out of it's lane more than most languages and people just want to use it for everything.

If it's the right tool for the job, use it... but if you need secure and/or performant server-side code probably don't use JS

Enough money that I can retire in six months. So idk, like, call it a cool $4M/yr and I'm yours in office for 6 months. Otherwise I guess MAYBE my same salary at somewhere walking distance where I only have to work 3 or 4 days a week at 8 hour days.

My mental health is just so much better working from home. The upside would have to be enough to balance that and realistically nobody is actually going to do that.

Are you suggesting we just let Putin take over Europe Nazi-style or is this comment unrelated to the article?
