Have you tried taking a walk outside in the sun while eating better and getting more sleep?

Same, I laughed so hard at him taking off his shirt I woke up my kids in the other room. I had to share that joy.

Phoenix attorney Paul Weich told The Republic he was running as a Democrat for state representative in Legislative District 12 in 2022 when he had a run-in with Kelly. Prompted by several hundred dollars' worth of his campaign signs going missing in June 2022, Weich hired an investigator who he said found surveillance video catching Kelly in the act.

Despite evidence pointing to Kelly as the perpetrator, Weich said law enforcement did not move to arrest him. Weich said that Phoenix police feared that approaching Kelly would pose a threat to their safety. A prosecutor out of the Phoenix City Attorney’s Office declined to pursue charges, Weich said.

Someone else I just read compared this to a make-a-wish® activity.

One specific franchise location and they were closed to customers during the visit with the staged customers all vetted by USSS and having gone through a rehearsal ahead of time to practice what they were going to do.

When his boasting lands him in prison and the king’s magus invites him on a quest to steal a legendary object, he’s in no position to refuse. The magus thinks he has the right tool for the job, but Gen has plans of his own. The Queen’s Thief novels have been praised by writers, critics, reviewers, and fans, and have been honored with glowing reviews, “best of” citations, and numerous awards, including the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, a Newbery Honor, the Andre Norton Award shortlist, and the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award.

This edition of The Thief includes an exclusive piece by Megan Whalen Turner about her inspiration for the setting of the story, an introduction to the characters from the world of the Queen's Thief, and a map of the world of the Queen's Thief.

Solved I have 2 accounts on different instances with the name JaymesRS. I created my original on Midwest.social because it was the one I liked best at the time, I created a second at literature.cafe later because I identified more with that community, but I wanted there to be some continuity between them. I kept the other around for backup though.

If I only sign in to one of those accounts I have no problem with comments showing up on federated communities, however, if I sign in to both and switch accounts then switch back I no longer see federated comments. I will see the number of comments listed, but when I open the thread it says no comments found. I can still see comments on my local community though.

I can fix this by uninstalling and reinstalling the app and re signing in to only one of the accounts. It seems like removing the accounts itself won’t resolve the bug. I have a third account with a completely different name on a 3rd instance too and that doesn’t seem to trigger the bug.

If I can offer any other answers or help, let me know.

Test Flight Version 0.2.11

 

I use the page count plugin plus a template program I adapted from one found online (included below) to build a column that categorizes books by length. (I use this to build collections I use when I’m picking my next to read)

I’d like to exclude certain books from getting a classification though if they are PDFs or have tags like “Graphic Novel” or “Cookbook”. I’d appreciate any help figuring this out.

program:
val = field('#pagecount');
first_non_empty(
	cmp(val, 0, ' ', '', ''),
	cmp(val, 15, 'Flash Fiction', '', ''),
	cmp(val, 50, 'Short Story', '', ''),
	cmp(val, 100, 'Novelette', '', ''),
	cmp(val, 250, 'Novella', '', ''),
	cmp(val, 500, 'Short Novel', '', ''),
	cmp(val, 750, 'Long Novel', '', ''),	
	cmp(val, 1000, 'Tome', '', ''),
	'Toe Breaker');

From the breakout SFF superstar author of Murderbot comes a remarkable story of power and friendship, of trust and betrayal, and of the families we choose.

"I didn't know you were a... demon."

"You idiot. I'm the demon."

Kai's having a long day in Martha Wells' WITCH KING....

After being murdered, his consciousness dormant and unaware of the passing of time while confined in an elaborate water trap, Kai wakes to find a lesser mage attempting to harness Kai’s magic to his own advantage. That was never going to go well.

But why was Kai imprisoned in the first place? What has changed in the world since his assassination? And why does the Rising World Coalition appear to be growing in influence?

Kai will need to pull his allies close and draw on all his pain magic if he is to answer even the least of these questions.

He’s not going to like the answers.

WITCH KING is Martha Wells’s first new fantasy in over a decade, drawing together her signature ability to create characters we adore and identify with, alongside breathtaking action and adventure, and the wit and charm we’ve come to expect from one of the leading writers of her generation.

At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

 

The movie is fine, but the soundtrack is fantastic.
