Halfway through in one sitting. Pretty good even if the romance is a bit cheese.

I just finished that book last night! That story is definitely one of the highlights. I also really enjoyed the second-to-last story (SuperLawyer)

Oh gosh. I thought going page by page and applying markings was painful, I can't imagine straight up rewriting everything.

That's interesting that the Android developers decided on that term. I guess the people focused on localizing grammar are grammar nerds. Surprising they haven't changed the user (developer) facing option even if they left the backing keyword the same. It's been like that for years.

He was popular enough with millenials but I'm just saying he's less popular with gen alpha than Pikachu, Spiderman, or monsters in general.

It's only fast because of 50 years of groundwork via the strategies of Nixon and Gingrich. It was only a matter of time after the post-9/11 legal frameworks. Then McConnell delivered the courts in Trump 1 which was the last thing standing in the way. The warning bells have been ringing for decades.
