It’s important to note too that the ones overturning her were appointed by conservative presidents. It’s that blatantly bad.

Can you share your education or research background that gives you such strong insight into what is “normal human physiology at 81 years old”?

Kevin Herne wrote the Iron Druid series that’s commonly recommended for Dresden Files fans and it’s great.

Delilah S. Dawson wrote some Star Wars stuff I’ve read (Phasma for one) and Midnight at the Houdini and I enjoyed them.

Oh, I remember coming across that drama from the American Atheists side. I forgot there was a legal podcast in the mix. Oof.

My Dad wrote a Porno is sooo good.

Sorry for butting in but I thought I’d hop on the podcast recommendation diversion because I’m also always looking for recommendations.

  • This Sounds Serious is good if you like true crime, but it’s a comedic parody of the tropes of true crime with solid story telling.

  • Hello From the Magic Tavern is an interesting take on an interview-style podcast.

  • Risky or Not is a short form podcast about food science and if sometimes odd practices actually put you at risk

  • Wind of Change is an interesting look at if the Scorpions were intended to bring down communism

  • And if you’re a political junky in the US, Strict Scrutiny and Prosecuting Donald Trump are interesting updates from legal experts on the Supreme Court and the Trump cases.

That’s the way I felt when I first heard about it too. And both of those had a solid plot that the authors worked witticisms into while writing. This feels like they thought of jokes and then figured out how to get the joke into the plot, and it suffers because of that. The jokes tend to be puns and groaners, which I really like and I really like the authors outside this book. This just fell flat and I don’t care about the characters or their adventure.

I finished up Kill the Farm Boy by Herne and Dawson and it was a bit of a slog. I’m looking forward to starting on something a bit more engaging so I think I’m going to pick back up with where I left off in the Murderbot series by Martha Wells.

Has anyone investigated the consequences of all the sunlight that’s leaked into the environment because of this disaster? What sort of clean up are we looking at and how long will it take?

Only if you are gullible enough to fall for the people muddying the waters. Is Hunter Biden being held to the same standard for his crime that other who did the same are vs is Trump.

Don’t let them think comparing apples to oranges is apples to apples.

I slightly disagree because it can be a good way to track people who only traffic in bad faith. If there were some other way to flag them, I’d be all for it but it’s almost completely bad options for ways to flag that sort of anti social behavior.

Without having any more specific information (which you need not share) Duluth is a fairly large city for Minnesota, unless you have a specific specialist need or some insurance need, you should be able to find the care you need for most common needs and have a good number of providers to find a professional that meets your care needs. At a worst case scenario, both the twin cities and Rochester (Mayo Clinic) are about 3 hours away, and that should exhaust even the most rare specialists.
