    Either that, or Win 98, was the first Microsoft OS to launch with an Internet browser. It embiggenated the world.

    I was going to say Warhammer 40K, but I think it might actually be Discworld - there were a handful of books set there that were written by others, IIRC, although they may not have been full novels. I think it was also the first I came into contact with. The quality inevitably varies, but very few of them bored me. I think I might be more likely to read books in a setting if I know that multiple authors have contributed to it, because that's more interesting to me - if I didnt like the last book, maybe I'll like the next one more.

    Avoid Unseen Academicals, Raising Steam and Snuff - they're inevitably disappointing, due to the advancing Alzheimer's.

    Better, in their opinion, that a tacky ballroom is being installed to stroke the ego of a child rapist and traitor to the nation.

    If Conservatives didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all.

    Well, OperaGX had been pretty good for me so far. It takes a little getting used to the left-hand sidebar icons, though. And some extensions arent compatible with it, like YT Sponsor Block.

    This applies doubly so to online chats, but when someone says, "I like how . . .", "It's funny/cute how . . ." No it isn't. F--k off.
