Re: What are you reading?

Frelga and Rose, I found out you can manage your holds in Libby to come available after a certain date. Click on "Manage Hold", then "Delivering Later", then move the slider to the date at which you will optimistically have time to read it. The book will be delivered soon after t...

Re: The Expanse

I went to the monthly Zoom-mini-moot today with Jude and we talked about, among other things, The Expanse. I'm not going to say how many times I have seen the series and read (listened to) the books, but it's probably not up to the level of repeat reading of the LOTR books over the years, or rewatch...

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread

The County of Alameda Voter Information Guide is more clear than the State of California Guide I discussed in my post above. It states: Voter-Nominated Offices The March 5, 2024 Offices: US Senator, US Senator (Partial/Unexpired), US Representative, State Senate, Member of the State Assembly Who adv...

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread

I've already voted as well. The Official Voter Information Guide states the following, on pages 17 and 20. It could have been worded more clearly. My comments are added in italics. Elections in California The Top Two Candidates Open Primary Act requires that all candidates for a voter-nominated offi...

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread

Indeed, what's next, apparently , is " ending recreational sex and senseless use of birth control pills." It's always been an option for sex to be recreational for men. It has only been the past few decades, with better contraceptives, that fertile women have had the option of care-free s...

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread

Do they define contraception as preventing fertilization or as preventing the implantation/impregnation of the fertilized zygote? IUDs and some low-dose versions of the Pill do permit ovulation and fertilization, but not implantation several days later, because the uterus is not properly prepared. A...

Re: Asimov's "Foundation" coming to TV

I'm finally getting around to watching the series on Apple TV+ and reading the book. I'll be finishing the first season of the series tonight. Lots of head scratching moments with both hubby and I try to figure out what's going on, not having read the books. But it does have lush visuals and a delig...

Re: What are you reading?

Inanna, have you checked on Hoopla? I found it there through my local library. I'm not sure if the content is the same for every library.

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!

Galadriel sang to the departing Fellowship: Ai! laurië lantar lassi súrinen, Yéni únótimë ve rámar aldaron! Yéni ve lintë yuldar avánier mi oromardi lisse-miruvóreva Andúnë pella, Vardo tellumar nu luini yassen tintilar i eleni ómaryo airetári-lírinen. of course I recognize it - it has my name in it!
