And we have better night vision than most the animals that have better day-vision than us. Humans are like the Leatherman of animals. Universally capable of doing most things but not as good as something specialized for that task. Plus of course capable of coming up with ways to cheat

just could not imagine the scale at which human civilization would escalate. Apart from that, spot on.

Since I can see that we have kind of similar tastes, can you recommend the Fionavar Tapestry?

[–] lenuup@reddthat.com 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah. I got the theory, but I have almost no practical experience. In total something like 4 weeks of field trips. But nice to see that I still get the basics.

Looks like some kind of intrusion of magma (the pale rock) into the darker rock. you can see how all the veins seem to originate from the pale rock, also the broken-of dark part in the pale rock seems to indicate it, could be part of the original rock, that surrounded the magma, before breaking of.

Some actual geologist might want to give their opinion though. I only had like two years of geology at university before shifting my studies toward crystallography and crystal growth.

You could and it might work, or it might not. Depends on a lot of factors. Thing is, you are still engaging the fey in word games and try to outsmart them in their own games. Being blunt and telling them No, giving clear and unambiguous answers offers less attack ground for them.

I am not a big fan of raw oysters, but if you bake them in the oven with breadcrumbs, cheese and a sauce, they are delicious

A wedding ring shows that you are wed. Just like an engagement ring shows that your engaged. A wedding is an event, being wed is a change in status. The logic is sound. Confusion only enters the mix, because 'being wed' is less common as a phrase than 'being married'.

Depending on the way the fey phrased the request you may either have insulted it, or broken a deal. If it asks to have your name and you answer with "yes, my name is ." You have lied to it and broken a simple transaction. It may even be justified in using ever more harsh measures to extract your name from you, as it has a legitimate claim on it. At least that is the way I would play such a situation for the fey. For me the thing is that trying to outsmart them rarely works, because they know netter in which rules they operate than you do. A answer like "You may not have my name, but you can call me . " Should work better in my opinion. Sorry for the wall of text btw. Just being bored out of my mind rn.

And on top of all this the UI feels sluggish. I still have Win11 on my laptop, as it came installed with it and I just partitioned some of the drive for linux. Was sometimes easier do do stuff on Win for Uni, esp. with very specialized software. Everytime I logged in to Win I wanted to kill the UI.

I am setting up a new server for my media and wanted to ask for your best ways to manage an ebook and comic collection. I have been using calibre so far, but it is not really designed to be managed remotely.
