I’m just explaining why parents might opt for a larger car especially if they have multiple children. It used to be mini vans, now it’s SUVs or crossovers which are probably not much bigger than station wagons.

Also car seats are enormous and don’t fit well into compact cars unless the passenger side seat is all the way up and maybe not even then. Good luck if you have more than one kid that needs a car seat too.

The air bike is the way to go to get to harder to reach sky islands. I think you can make them last longer by fusing gems.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that finds the underground creepy. I still haven’t explored all of it. I cheese most of the fights with bows. If you have bombs, freeze items to fuse, keese eyes, and muddle buds you’re pretty golden.

I’ve read or started to read 10 of them. I had a hard time getting into a Master of Djinn and didn’t finish. All Systems Red is fine but not great. I didn’t care for Name of the Wind or Binti. I loved Seveneves, The Fifth Season, and Ancillary Justice though.

Tofu scramble might be nice, easy to mix in soft veg.

It really bothers me that the bench is not under the tree.

I used to have a boring data entry job and I listened to audiobooks every day. It was great. Now I mostly listen in the car or while doing chores. I kind of miss having those long lengths of time to listen.

So what is it?

I recently bought the audiobook for Gideon the Ninth. Glad to see another recommendation.

Dune. Hyperion was really cringey, I didn’t even finish it.

They built a tunnel for the traffic which is a pretty typical strategy for these kinds of projects.

Second this recommendation. The aliens are pretty inventive too.
