Started up my 1st #kindle read. Literally I have not been a e-book type person but due to limited space I am leaning on buying mainly ebooks

#booksky

Funny story
3 yrs ago my family moved into a place about 700sq feet smaller, as a result i un-hauled half my books and bought a #kindle due to lack of space for physical #books

Well my #tbrpile has been so big I am only now getting to my kindle ereader ebooks i have bought since then lol

While trumps war has taken the news feed focus I have been thinking about other goals of govt. #climatechange and carbon emissions
If everyone who can wfm did est 40% of people, based on what i have rea, it would reduce ghg by 10 megatones and save avg fam 5000+per yr in gas and other related cost

Trump says Iran could be ‘taken out’ on Tuesday, ‘not worried’ about committing war crimes Trump on Monday told reporters that Iran could be taken out in one night, 'and that night might be tomorrow night,' warning Tehran it had to make a deal by Tuesday night or face wider bombing raids.

Ok, headlines like this annoy me. They imply #datacenters are all about #artificialintellgence
While #AI are certainly part of it data centers do far more than processing ai
They are vital infrastructure to manage logistics, banking, commerce, social media telecom etc. They are the internet.

#hottake lots of competition is not by default good for consumers. IE canadian telecom is in a price war to the bottom, good for people but ultimatley is eroding revenue, increasing debt reducing investment. in the long run erodes service and harms consumers. Some is good, lots bad for everyone.

Now that #startrek strange new worlds and academy will be ending here are some ideas for new trek series i think worth exploring
1) klingon origins of the legend of kahless
2) vulcan romulan split
3) cardassian occupation of Bajor
4) ferengi capitlist evolution
5) zefran cochrane warp drive

BC Transit not providing funding for bus service to new Cowichan hospital - Nanaimo News Bulletin CVRD considering taking service hours from existing routes

nanaimobulletin.com/2026/03/26/b...

This is honestly disgraceful, while I dont use #publictransit myself this only serves to re-enforce why I own a car and drive, because public transit options dont give much choice. I am one of the lucky ones, many here have no other option.

#startrek is the best #scifi franchise for TV content

#dune is the greatest literary franchise in #scifi

Imho anyway

Picked up some self pub books today by local authors at a local fantasy fair.

Personalized and signed I look forward to reading them

"Eddie stiffenned, and felt Roland stiffen inside him"

Out of context book quote lol

Regarding BC change to perm daylight time, solution seems simple, adjust work schedules based on sunrise/sunset. I dont understand why that couldnt be done but.
Emergency services that work 24/7 really shouldn't be any difference
This argument about circadian cycles never seemed convincing to me

If the world could stop following Star Trek's WW3 timeline that would be great

But hey maybe it will lead to 1st contact and warp drive lol

"It was a odd looking vine"

1st sentence in the 1st book of a series I dont even like anymore and yet this opening sentence sticks with me

A nice day to start Childhood's End by #arthurcclark

At this rate, I just hope to get through my career before #AI takes my job. I feel too old and too far along to start rebuilding a career from the start

There’s nothing better than closing a really good sci-fi book and just sitting there thinking,

“…okay but what if that actually happens?”

⚠️ #Booksky Hot take:
People who skip the Prologue baffle me...

It's like starting a book on Chapter 2 because, "Nothing interesting or relevant happens in the first chapter."

If there is a Prologue, it is there FOR A REASON:
Anyone who doesn't read it hasn't read the whole book!

I am really happy about #cosmere and #appletv adaptations, but honestly wonder if a stormlight TV series will be able to tell the whole story. I Feel like it will need more seasons than big budget fantasy series seem to get
