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.

Comment on Forgot Chrome's unusable, any recommendations? in ~tech
FishFingus LinkWell, 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.Well, OperaGX had been pretty good for me so far. It takes a little getting used to the left-hand sidebar icons, though.

And they were very wrong about the Direct Debit - you're covered by DD guarantee, so they should raise an immediate indemnity claim for any fraudulent DDs and refund all payments fully to you without issue. They must offer some poor staff training.

Someone once suggested in a YT video that there should be an easily reachable little courtesy honk button, just one or two short bips rather than beeps, maybe to let the distracted person ahead know that the light is green or to thank them for letting you pass.
