@aptshadow.bsky.social I just preordered Children of Strife on Libro.fm. It made me curious, where do authors get paid the most per audio book purchase these days?

I grew up in rural Oregon, hearing about how “scary” Portland is. I took a winding road, visiting many times, finally making Portland my home 10 years ago. I’m downtown 5 days a week and the only war in Portland I guarantee has been manufactured in the minds of people who won’t ask or don’t listen.

Stranger than fiction.
My coworker told me that you don’t need to eat on Ozempic because the medicine is so calorically dense (“something like 14,000 calories) that each shot provides all your nutritional needs for a week.

We work for a pharmaceutical company.

Oh about that Starship? Go ahead, reuse it now. I’ll wait.
Seems like there should be some sort of safety regulations about this sort of thing...
So this? All this complicated tank works? Is *right next to the static test pad*. *All* of that is blowing up now.

I built my first 3d printer around this time 14 years ago because of all the wonderful work that went into #RepRap. It was Clonedel but I wish I had bought Prusa Mendel parts instead. reprap.org/wiki/Clonedel
