I’m about 20% into book two, and I’m finding it exhausting. The first book was a little slow, but I made it through. I’m not sure I would say I enjoyed it, but I appreciated it. The second book feels very unfocused, so far, and still just as slow. The general feeling of hopelessness that many characters express isn’t exactly great for my current mood, either.
I’m a slower , sporadic reader, so eyeing the rest of the trilogy is making me want to abandon it and it just watch the Netflix series.

I’ve reduced some of my video files by as much at 75% using Handbrake to convert from AVC to H.264 or H.265. I’m not the most discerning viewer, so I haven’t noticed any difference in video quality, but I’ve definitely noticed the extra space on my drives!

8·14 days agoI went to an Oktoberfest festival in the US, and there was a popup shop called Gifthaus.
They did not understand my concern.
Edit: Sadly, it was a shop*, not a poison ship.
