Isn’t this one of the key goals of Project 2025?

I thought you were talking about Tony Abbott and his onion moment for a second there …

All deadlines are made up, whether scrum is involved or not.

It’ll be cooler this year and everyone will be like SEE?! Then the feedback loop will swing hard and 2025 will be Saudi Arabia summer hot with tropical cyclones every other week and random blizzards in South East Asia.

I see the term “Liberal” or “Lib” bandied about quite a lot in the fediverse, and almost always as a slur. Out of curiousity, how would everyone define the political leanings and general attributes of someone who is “Liberal”?

I know Barry! Puts on a mean bbq, great host, 5 stars.

Maybe you’re right, maybe the Tomorrowland concept is what the world is missing right now? Everything is a conflict to be overcome, noone imagines everyone just working together to achieve amazing things.

Would you bother reading/watching/playing scifi media that didn’t have some sort of conflict, like everything just went great?

Oh also the Demon Cycle series by Peter V Brett was a fun romp. I like the way the author built a pretty unique world with a lot of different aspects to it. He did a good job of switching the point of view across characters to challenge perspective.

I don’t really agree with this pitch. Each of the two books tell a great story that could be argued to be complete in its individual telling. Yes there is an over arching story that ties their telling together and remains incomplete but that doesn’t matter given the the told tale in each is complete. I’ve read through each multiple times and will read them again regardless of whether or not the third is completed.

Is it safe to assume you’ve read the name of the wind and wise man’s fear? HURRY UP AND FINISH YOUR SERIES ROTHFUSS, please

I know he said specifically no heavy politics, but Thomas covenant is pretty heavy and dark. The tale is good, it can be hard reading in parts though given the protagonist. If you like the exploration of the antihero, the gap series by Stephen Donaldson is pretty solid too.

You say fantasy, but while technically sci fi, I’d like to suggest the galactic milieu series by Julian May. It starts out sci fi and I guess constantly has sci fi elements but leans pretty heavily into bridging the gap to fantasy (elves, dwarves, shapeshifting monsters, magic etc)

If you cook in 5-10l of water you will dilute the starch and the pasta won’t stick. Also if you mix the sauce through the pasta post cooking and let it rest for 5-10 mins it will soak up the sauce
