I read foundation back when I was college age or so. :)

I read the Lilith’s Brood series a few years ago, so good.

That’s the nicest way to say “the adhd runs strong” ;)

Happy to uh, help? :)

Ask your local tech writer, they know stuff or something 🤣

Oof yeah. I mean, I think one should definitely read some of their stuff but also, think critically about it? Like anything else you’d read? I love a lot of stuff Heinlein wrote (fair witnesses, marriages- including poly marriages using contracts), but a lot of it also.. 😬😬

I’ve read a fair amount of Bradbury but not much Norton, even though I should!

Mine was Shaboozey’s The Bar Song ;)

I literally just finished _Old Man’s War_ and for a moment I was *so* confused.

Ooh, what are you reading then? I’m definitely doing a “a lot of people have read this and love it” thing

The ball joints are definitely more stable than the elbow and knee - those snapped a bunch :)

Yeah, I will probably overpaint the raised areas anyway because I don’t have the steadiest hands :)

It’s a bit of a finicky model due to the joints. My notes are linked to the make I posted which is linked to the STL page I posted :)

I’ve been meaning to read the Culture novels for a while, and my library system is pretty good so that’s also in the pile.

It was really good though. Also read _Agent to the Stars_, which was very fun! I picked up several of his books in a Humble bundle a while back and decided to start working through them while I wait for my library holds to come in. One did last night so Banks’ _Player of Games_ is probably next.
