Yeah, most trichinosis cases in the US these days are from wild, hunted game, not pork or other meats. I’d err on the side of caution with stuff you hunt. That being said, you don’t necessarily know how “gamey” your game meat might be, either - if a deer is eating corn and apples, that’s a much better flavor than if…

Ha, I love this! And your kitty is so handsome!
...“The Moon is a Harsh Mistress” ... just couldn’t keep going with it...
Really, anything in the series (except Ghost Story which is still a great book but was read by someone other than James and who pronounces a lot of things subtly differently than we’ve gotten used to if you’ve been reading the audiobooks the whole way through like I have*). I’m sure that the books are great when read…
DON’T read Calling on Dragons. The same company did this and it was terrible (Killer and Fiddlesticks especially).
I enjoyed that novel so much that I went on a China Mielville reading splurge for a while. Embassy town was the first novel I read from him and still my favorite. I hadn’t thought how much an audio version could make that novel even better, and I’m guessing you are right. It would add a whole layer to that ending.
Cryptonomicon and really almost any novel by Neal Stephonson.
Audiobook narration can definitely make or break the story.
I don’t know that I ever thought that the show showed more rape than the books, except in the concept of, as Charlie Jane rightly points out, that there are thousands of pages of books and only about what, 50 hours worth of TV episodes that are already packed to the brim with plot?
Quick reminder, because it’s the internet: it’s totally okay to still like A Song of Ice and Fire, and it’s still okay to like Game of Thrones. No one is saying that you need to stop reading or watching. It’s okay to like things that have problematic elements, even when it’s as problematic as mishandling something…
To be fair geophysics is a form of magic space wizardry, at least that’s what I told myself during geophysics field assessment stuck in a Rainey Scottish field. And all those dark winter afternoons in the lab analysing seismic lines and downhole logs. God what I wouldn’t give for those days, closest I get now is the…
Issues like this illustrate just how white and male-dominated higher education has always been, particularly when juxtaposed with the uproar about Dr. Saida Gundy’s remarks that challenged the white patriarchy. Comparing the two, it’s quite clear that, while students want to be challenged in a context-responsive way…
I just did a Christ Pratt giant open smile for several minutes. My wife kept commenting on how the Doof Warrior was just having a great time throughout.
these low-rise jeans demand confidence, strategy—and let’s be honest, some crunches
They obviously didn’t think that the critic was objective enough in his reviews and injected too much of his own opinion.
Love this one.
I would love to see this series in a tv format, absolutely love the world/setting.
