I read a book a day on average so probably 130 or so. They'll be 99% romance - SFR with the occasional CR or romantasy book plus the occasional Sci Fi book that's not SFR.

So far I'm at 159 for the year. That doesn't count novellas, as I don't log them. There are also a handful of books I don't log in Goodreads for personal reasons. My primary genre is romance by a wide margin; I've read a handful of thrillers.

I've read/listened to 30 books this year! I've pretty sure I DNF'd twice that but I'm a mood reader lol. Mostly romance with nearly half of my list being Beverly Jenkins, so that makes the bulk of it historical romance. My biggest surprise was probably {The Wallflower Wager by Tessa Dare}, it was super hot. And technically not a romance but {Mama Day by Gloria Naylor} might be my new favorite book ever; it has a great love story with some amazing rural magical realism.

160 so far this year; several were re-reads. Only about 6 were audiobooks. My average book length is around 200 pages. But this week I've been in a reading slump and haven't read as much even though I have time!

You think King knew it was fake from the start?

I'd like readers to consider the evidence in “Veritas” and decide for themselves.

She didn't present photographs when she first announced the papyrus to her colleagues. That immediately raised alarms, that she didn't give her own colleagues the evidence needed to evaluate the papyrus. And she didn't release images of the other key piece in Fritz's collection, a fragment supposedly from the Gospel of John, which top scholars of Coptic had marked as a forgery within hours of seeing it.

Why withhold evidence from colleagues if you believe it's authentic? Did she know it was fake and thought the ends justify the means? Was she willing to use a fake sensation to whet the public's appetite for this other interesting object (the Gnostic gospels)? To use a forgery to point to the truth?

I think this is the one situation where it's appropriate to describe one's curiosity as being "peaked", I know I've never been more curious to meet someone in my entire life

My (least) favourite comment has to be this one

If my family member had a baby then walked up to the crib at night and strangled them in cold blood I wouldn't be able to maintain a relationship with them. That feeling doesn't change if the baby wasn't born yet. I simply wouldn't be able to maintain a relationship after that - I would never be able to get the fact that they murdered their child out of my mind when interacting with them, and I would feel like shit for it.

Strangling babies is definitely equal, 100%, I strangle babies all the time

They absolutely don't care about the difference. Point out to them that abortion being banned means more newborns will be left to die in fields/dumpsters etc and it makes no nevermind to them. More toddlers will be beaten to death by parents who never wanted them? Totally the same thing as a 7 week old fetus being aborted.

"That toddler wouldn't have been beaten to death if their mother just kept their legs closed."

I wish that were hyperbole as well. But I've been a member of /r/prochoice for years and /r/prolife occasionally gets cross posted over there. The shit I've seen from that subreddit genuinely makes me weep for humanity.

>she couldn't get an abortion so post birth abortion is justified chud

Total redditor death

Can't even say !

The sneed just goes on and on…

Short answer: no

Long answer: noooooooooo

Detailed explanation: No, because definitely not.

If they think it's unfeasible (we don't have the tech currently to do it on a large scale) they should at least explain their reasons

No. It's mostly smoke and mirrors. Why are fossil fuel companies so interested in this technology? They use the captured CO2 to extract additional oil from wells. It's just another distraction to avoid the elephant in the room and continue business as usual.

The answer is No

This user is surely negative

>comments in /r/adulting, collapse, WDP,

I'm a chemist working on the (electro)conversion of CO2 into economically valuable products. In my opinion, making this process profitable would be the only way to convince big companies to significantly invest in the process. I can tell you that we are far from making the process economically viable

Edit: to clarify, I'm not defending that we should prioritize the economy. I'm saying that that's what policy makers/ big companies prioritize, so it won't happen until the process is profitable, which is far from now. We thus rely on different approaches to mitigate climate change

A sensible comment

Bonus on doomering about millions dying in India during heat waves just a few years from now

https://old.reddit.com/r/climatechange/comments/1ct9dhj/fatal_heat_waves_are_testing_indias_ability_to/?sort=controversial

We are going to have a heat wave combined with power failure that kills millions by the end of the decade.

You get a wet bulb temp weather system that settles over a city for a couple days, and the power system goes down.

The opening chapter of the novel "The Ministry for the Future" is a description of just this scenario, and it is hands down one of the most horrifying things I have ever read.

Yup that chapter was sickeningly realistic

The heat wave deaths are then followed by a massive pandemic as millions of corpses liquefy in the heat. The whole city would be a biohazard for a long time

I just started this book yesterday and this post made me do a double take. I had a moment of like, “wait…that's too real”
