"My favourite genre is grimderp."

"Do you mean grimdark?"

"I know what I said."

That about sums it up. Need a plan. Never follow it.

Front gate is visible from here

I think they added even more since the street view was captured. You have to go down the road a bit to see the doors.

There's a house near me that used dozens of doors to construct the perimeter fence. The sign on the front gate says "Mordor". Still gets a smile from me every time I pass it.

Can we get some enclaves in there to keep it spicy?

My god, that's a lot to process. A couple that stand out:

Comments proposing to use github as the database backup. This is Keyword Architecture, and these people deserve everything they get.

The Replit model can also send out communications? It's just a matter of time before some senior exec dies on the job but nobody notices because their personal LLM keeps emailing reports that nobody reads.

I've only read Consider Phlebas so far. If OP is looking for action then this is a good choice.

I don't usually read sci-fi for laser fights and starship chases, but it feels justified in this one.

I'm guessing "Edison" is in the US, but "Blonde Bigot" is in the UK. There's a weird movement to rebrand bigotry as a virtue over there.

That's my strategy. If I add up all the printing I've done at libraries, schools, work, etc. it would cost a fraction of buying my own.

They take up so much space that can be used for more useful things, too.

I'm unfortunately very sensitive to those particles from laser printers. They're really good at triggering migraines, so I could never have a laser printer at home.

It doesn't apply in my case, but I like the idea of a goddess called Bubbles and a Taco Bell item called Squanch.

Around here, "campground" can mean anything from a powered site to a patch of dirt at the end of a trail. You'll find these types at both. Sometimes the worst are at the most remote spots because it's become very popular to buy a big 4WD and justify the cost by going as deep into the bush as possible, with as much gear and comforts as possible.
