I started Oathbringer the other day, the third Stormlight Archive book. The first two were okay but I had issues with the bloated word count to actual story ratio, so I don’t expect to finish the series. The ends always seem to get me to start the next one even though I start regretting it half way through. I like the world and story but man they should not be that long and seriously need an aggressive edit pass.

ChristopherOdd, Mapocolops and Gab Smolders are my 3 main goto channels for playthroughs! I like the way they play, they don’t talk too much and enjoy the story and adventure more than things like achievements etc. If I like a game I watch all three play it a lot of times.

My favourite addition is 10-20g of everything bagel seasoning into 500g of flour! So good. Also replacing 100g of bread flour for rye or whole wheat has als been adding a nice flavor change as well.

This looks amazing! Definitely a commitment to get this finished, especially with 1mm hook. But it’s beautiful so far. Are you following a specific pattern

I am on book 5 of Cradle series by Will Wight. They’ve been super fun and fast paced, like little popcorn books.

The writing is serviceable, the characters are not super deep, but the world and exploration and discovery have been great. I didn’t think I would like the series but I’ve been pleasantly surprised and I think it’s definitely a good read between more difficult books because it’s a breeze getting through them.

I think these might just be three strand braids put together in a way to replicate a knit. Knitting fondant sounds like an awful time!

It really doesn’t help that over the last few years I’ve been getting all sorts of ebooks on sale thinking I’ll get to them eventually, they’re on sale so it’s not so bad, it’s fine… hundreds of books later.

Ebook for fiction books. The convenience is amazing and i don’t have enough space for all the books as physical copies in my place. Plus generally much cheaper to buy.

I do however buy some non-fiction books (ex. books on writing/editing/crafting techniques/etc.) as physical copies as I reference them more often and searching is much easier in physical format.

That looks like scale to me. Using isopropyl alcohol and then wiping them off should usually take care of them. You just have to thoroughly search as they can also be hiding in the roots.

The Beauty by Aliya Whiteley is suppose to be about a society where all the women died some time ago and the last generation of men are trying to survive and cope with that. I have not read it yet though so I am not sure if they include any trans characters and their fates, but maybe it will interest you.

If you have a spray bottle you can mix water and a bit of soap and spray down the flowers to knock them off. It also makes a slippery surface so they should have a hard time getting back on. Though tomatoes don’t usually like water on the stalks or leaves too much so be careful and try to target the affected areas only.
