Heard someone say on a podcast that big fantasy books are basically a commitment like a tv series now. 700 pages is wild though, lol. Reminds me of when I tried reading "The Way of Kings" and just gave up halfway, there's only so many magic system rules I can keep track of. Bet half your book club lied and just watched the movie or read a summary online, classic move.

Man that reminds me, I went to this home show last year and they had this "tiny house" setup that was supposed to be super efficient. They had a full washer dryer combo stacked in the bathroom but the shower was literally a wet room with no door. And the bedroom loft had like a queen mattress but the ceiling was so low you couldn't sit up in bed. I get that it's a demo but sometimes they just throw in stuff to look cool without thinking about how you'd actually use it day to day. Like who needs a pizza oven if you can't even have three friends over to eat the pizza?

I got down to about 200 bookmarks on my phone last month and it still took me like an hour. It's funny how we just keep saving things forever, like digital hoarding, and then act surprised when it takes a whole afternoon to fix. There's probably a life lesson in there about letting go of old stuff, but I mostly just want a faster button.

Did she give you any specific examples of what made you sound robotic, like pacing or monotone voice?

Bro 48 wings down the drain last Tuesday when mine did the exact same thing. I was about to take a bite and noticed these little black specks all over the buffalo sauce - looked like the basket was shedding its skin like a lizard or something. Been using parchment paper liners ever since the new one showed up, feels like overkill but I'm not risking another $30 wing massacre.
