I’d love to read more about these type of patterns. Do you have any recommendations?

Ha. Just tried to upvote your comment and opened your profile instead. Still appreciate the information density, but I can see how it’s a pain for people who are more active here t…

It might not be worth it to you, but you might try a slightly better quality printer paper. I’m using a generic store brand premium laser/inkjet paper (24 lb/90 gsm), and I’m not g…

I’m with you. Although I recently started writing a lot more than usual. I ended up buying a used wire binding machine. I’ve been making notebooks with nice printer paper and cardb…

Definitely. In the U.S. at least, there were literally laws in place prohibiting merchants from mentioning credit card surcharges or changing prices accordingly, although details v…

Not stupid questions at all. I'm not entirely sure of the best way to answer this, as the internal quoting is getting messy. Here are my initial thoughts, though: In a perfect worl…

You can certainly be of the opinion that these contracts are by definition dishonest, and there are definitely companies that do shady things and protect themselves with these type…

I don't have a lot of time to comment to this, unfortunately, because I think it is a really important discussion. However, whenever I see these issues arise on Hacker News, I rare…

Could be worth a shot. I used to strongly dislike first person narrative, but it is less of an annoyance now, and some of my favorite books are from that perspective. I think it wa…

Figured I'd add that Martin Jarvis is my favorite Wodehouse reader, and the audiobooks are usually available through my library (Overdrive/Libby) app.
