Thanks for sharing

I alternate between top day and scaled for subscribed. While browsing “all” I use top day.

Same with me.

Eternity was my favourite and I still use it sometimes, but now I’m mostly using boost.

““That’s not fair, you know. If we knew when we were going to die, people would lead better lives.” IF PEOPLE KNEW WHEN THEY WERE GOING TO DIE, I THINK THEY PROBABLY WOULDN’T LIVE AT ALL.”

Digital. I’ve run out of space for storing physical books.

Also being used for treating sickle cell anemia

Absolutely. They’ll be the winners.

Truly dystopian

Very interesting. I prefer to actually own the books I buy, so I always remove DRM from the ebooks which I purchase. And Amazon is trying its best to make the process as difficult as possible. At least using Calibre, it can be done only on older kindle pc versions.

Place a green tea bag in a mug of hot water. Cover with a plate and leave it for two minutes. Remove the tea bag. Done.

Ooh such a cutie pie

It’s UI is my favourite amongst the apps I’ve tried out

That was an interesting twist

I just dump them into the washing machine. So I guess I’m just thinking that the machine is doing it not me!

I change my socks and give them for washing after every use. It’s kinda necessary as I sweat a lot.

Here’s the quote, slightly longer:

"THANK YOU, BOY, said the skull. WHAT IS YOUR NAME? ‘Uh,’ said Mort. ‘Mortimer . . . sir. They call me Mort.’ WHAT A COINCIDENCE, said the skull. HELP ME UP, PLEASE.”

Also it’s damn funny when Death is speaking with Mort’s father about taking him on as an apprentice. The whole exchange (just a few extracts) is hilarious:

“ I WAS OFFERING YOUR BOY A POSITION, said Death. I TRUST THAT MEETS WITH YOUR APPROVAL? ‘What was your job again?’ said Lezek, talking to a black-robed skeleton without showing even a flicker of surprise. I USHER SOULS INTO THE NEXT WORLD, said Death. ‘Ah,’ said Lezek, ‘of course, sorry, should have guessed from the clothes. Very necessary work, very steady. Established business?’ I HAVE BEEN GOING FOR SOME TIME, YES, said Death.”

“‘Where did you say your business was?’ said Lezek. ‘Is it far?’ NO FURTHER THAN THE THICKNESS OF A SHADOW, said Death. WHERE THE FIRST PRIMAL CALL WAS, THERE WAS I ALSO. WHERE MAN IS, THERE AM I. WHEN THE LAST LIFE CRAWLS UNDER FREEZING STARS, THERE WILL I BE.”

"‘He’s a good lad at heart,’ said Lezek. ‘A bit dreamy, that’s all. I suppose we were all young once.’ Death considered this. NO, he said, I DON’T THINK SO.”

Later, Death’s curry appreciation is also so funny:

"Death leaned over the saddle and looked down at the kingdoms of the world. I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU, he said, BUT I COULD MURDER A CURRY.”

"‘What’s a curry?’ The blue fires flared deep in the eyes of Death. HAVE YOU EVER BITTEN A RED-HOT ICE CUBE? ‘No, sir,’ said Mort. CURRY’S LIKE THAT.”

I would suggest The Revelation Space series by Alastair Reynolds. One of my favourite scifi series. Others include the Hyperion series and the Dune series. I would also like to mention a series which is not that well-known but I enjoyed it: the suneater series.
