I already read the Foundation series and I am gonna start on the Galactic Empire series. It just satisfying when we link knowledge of one series to the others. Really a fascinating alternate future to imagine!I tried to watch the Foundation show on AppleTV+ and it sucked so bad I was angry on what they did to the story.

I've done that myself over wifi and it work quite nicely!
A couple months before the pandemic, I started developing some weird back pain which would give me some electrical shock like pain. I was also getting leg pain, mostly at night preventing me to sleep multiple nights in a row, slowly losing my mind. After a few months of this and getting worse and more frequent I could only think of dying to stop the pain. Going to the doctor and different specialist could not find any problem.
I made my testament, spoke to my wife and close family to let them know I cannot go like this that long but I will try my best to last as long as possible. They understand.
The doctor gave me nerve pain medication and sent me to a psychiatrist where I got anti-depressants.
All that together with cannabis to help me sleep and I feel maybe 70% of the pain now. It also allows me to do some exercises to hopefully have sturdier muscles.
I do have to walk with a cane today to ease the pain but boy those anti-depressant really changed my way to see things. Sucks that it took medication but hey, I guess that's an improvement. Until a doctor can find the root cause...
