Thank you friend, it seems we have similar tastes for similar reasons. Would you recommend anything else?
For Reynolds, the revelation space trilogy is he best received and has his biggest ideas. But you could start anywhere. While he has some core themes, his ideas are all over the shop between books; each unique in both style and concepts.
Peter F Hamilton is an odd one. His writing is very male but the hard sci fi ideas and world building are second to none. The darkest place to start is the Confederation universe. The most fun and fantasy adjacent is the Void Trilogy. Despite being a hardcore fan I'm not very well read on him.
For both, their short stories are exquisite, in some cases mind bending and worldview changing.
I think a society has to be believable to be a good dystopic novel.
Rands world building is non existent and she treats the society as merely an excuse to write long boring speeches about a world she hardly experienced; instead having a proxy knowledge sourced from drunk old men.
*Neuromancer by William gibson is crazy dark and is the book which started the cyberpunk genre.
The forever war by Joe Hadleman is cynical but not totally dark, still has some awesome dystopic themes which have not lost their power over he years. Hard to say if it could be read as critical of current gender ideology or in support of it.
If you've ever thought about getting into the 40k universe Dan Abnett is great and his writing of female characters gets better over the years.
Alastair Reynolds and peter f Hamilton mention many societies in their space operas and generally have a pretty grim, imo realistic, view of human nature and how it might follow us to the stars.
Brave new world is an interesting concept for those who like dyspotic worlds. IMHO not a great book, still worth a read.
B12 is fed to animals. This is where the b12 comes from. Meat eaters are having their food supplemented also.
There are many plant foods rich in omega 3 fatty acids with good omega ratios. Such as flax, hemp seeds, and chia.
Minerals are common in plant foods, very common. For example, kidney beans and leafy greens.
The idea of vegans diets being deficient in protein is laughable and intentionally misleading. For example, beans on toast is a complete protein source.
These articles are either aimed at college students, greatly misinformed, or shills for animal agriculture.--
I'm looking to switch my parents over to something more friendly than windows which I can remote support. If it's okay to ask, what have you found has been well accepted by old people?
Studies are easier to beat people over the head with. A rolled up journal hurts more than an opinion column.
Additionally, they have stats on exactly how much money the program saved. Good to be able to pitch a social program making the county/state/country money.
I have to be in the minority of sane people who enjoyed this book.
To be fair, I had no context and read the first 10 pages assuming it was satire. The rest of the experience was bizarre. In the first chapter the main character ignores the advice of the train employees and orders the train to run despite the signal being red. It's touted as taking responsibility when none else would. Utterly insane to me that someone who had been out of the area for decades, making management level decisions, would decide they know better than the worker on the ground who does the job daily. The contempt and arrogance leading to destruction - a great critique of management structure and survivor bias. How is it not satire?
Through the looking glass with a self important free capitalist narcissist, with almost no experience of the world and commerce outside their bubble, self hating tirade against perceived inability. Fascinating stuff
I'm assuming they've blocked out chemistry from the training data. It's crazy how easy it is to make many things from common chemicals, the liability would be insane.
Are we interpreting the humor as the absurdity of asking identity questions on a form for no reason OR silly trans, there be only two genders?
Up / down vote me respectively, I am curious how often these sort of posts appeal to all sides of the spectrum with different groups interpreting he humor.
I've seen people shoot gold into the walls of a mine to make it look like there's something left in there. Only those new to the industry would fall for it.
There are absolutely ways to find out the likelihood of how much is left. They're either patsies or idiots who didn't listen to their geologists.
What is with the down votes? What are you disagreeing with?
I don't trust the source, but why downvote without comment?
