I can see that, honestly :-D

I don't know if this will change anything, but, there was apparently a re-release of book 1 where the author re-wrote parts of it to bring it into quality standards with the rest of the books ... not sure which one you read, but, maybe it would make a difference? I got interested in it after the re-record, so, I dunno how big the differences are.

With that said, these books are around the size of The Stand by Stephen King, each, so, if you read half of it, you definitely gave it a fair shot, lol

Audiobook: The Wandering Inn, book 13 by Pirateaba ... Kind of a standard "got sent to another world" litRPG, but it's quite fun with a well developed world and Andrea Parsneau brings life to every character

eBook: The Immortal Choir Holds Every Voice by Margaret Killjoy (book 3 of Danielle Caine) ... Not far in yet, but the series has been weird and good so far. A punk, queer, perpetual hitchhiker got introduced to magic by seeing a dead deer stomp a man to death and eat his heart. If that doesn't make you interested, the series probably isn't for you.

"I'm just not a tech person! ::most annoying giggle imaginable::"

You don't have to be a tech person to know how to use basic features on your damn phone! You're not a mechanic because you know how to use the radio!

To make it worse, it'll quickly get figured out and people will be calling in "oh my God! he's trying to kill me", get transferred to a person and be like "so, it's 3pm in a Saturday and my neighbors are playing their music too loud!"

Bruce the Batdog, gotta love it, someone must have had a sense of humor and liked Batman!

Con Air ... why? No clue, I would have thought I'd go with Lord of War, but Con Air immediately popped into my head when I read the question, so ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

And a States right to force other States to return their runaway slaves

'Nuke it' or 'microwave it'

Right‽ If their terms of use indicate that they can collect this data no random PR promise can override/refute that! The only thing that can is an update to the T&C without this crap in there.

I despise the ones where it's basically like "get on the bus, we're having mandatory fun!" and then you get going and it won't finish until 2 hours past your quitting time, but it's totally cool, because it's a good time!

OTOH, I'm not at all interested in sports and I've had a good time going to a baseball game and once a company took me to an arcade which was a lot of fun. Alcohol provided by the company.

For me, as long as quitting time stays quitting time, I'm more or less happy even if I don't actually like the event, but if you keep me away from my family, I'm unhappy and I can't imagine how pissed the people who pick up their kids from work/school/etc... must have been.

Yeah, nothing says "I just don't like that scent" quite like "I ain't no bitch"

Looks fine for me with mobile app, Interstellar, fwiw, not even a little bit blurry.
