@PatrickLenton The Robot and Monk series by Beck Chambers! Beautifully written, and a delight to read. And Murderbot and Locked Tomb as others have said.

@kimtairi @JoanneLost My Mum has a policy of pre-gifting things to people, so that when she passes it's in her will that they get them.

@kimtairi I always thought William Morris had the right idea, 'Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be beautiful or believe to be useful'.

@karaschlegl Yep, it's an all-around rort. However, many universities also have open access repositories to make their research publications available because it is required by grant-funding bodies (like ARC, etc) to make publicly funded research publicly available.

@AychMcArdle Sorry! I was in managed isolation in Auckland, not quarantine. NZDF said only deliveries from Countdown and UberEats because they were covid-compliant. NZDF did mention that if it was an emergency there could be exceptions made

@AychMcArdle I came out of MIQ two weeks ago and we were informed that only deliveries from UberEats and Countdown were permitted.

@matthewaraven @mattgorecki @eeberquist I feel like you could pick any page at random in a Tolkien book and there would be a metal band’s name in there somewhere. 🤘

@bencjenkins “[A]ll of the cubes are identical, possibly because they contain a numerical formula to summon the protection of Rahu ...a planet with God-like powers. Rahu’s sphere of control includes thieves, magicians, snakes, poison, jails and isolated places” Sounds like a cool God-planet.
