I just finished the 4th and last available book in the Bobiverse series Heaven’s River. This one is quite a bit different as it focuses more on diverging/drifting personality differences of the replicants. I’d still recommend it though, it feels like a natural progression from where the story began.
I also read through The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu (translated). This one was very different than your typical sci-fi. Very political, conspiratorial, and at times very dry. In the end I very much enjoyed the story, but it felt like 2 disparate plot lines that didn’t really coalesce. It was also the second book I’ve read in the last month that didn’t resolve any of the main story conflict in the first book and requires reading the next book to get closure… Not a fan of that sort of ending.
There would be a lot fewer old people by the end of the month… (ICU Nurse)
Agreed, stepping down is a bit heavy handed. There are a lot of moving parts, it’s okay to take time for your self and let others take up the reigns temporarily if you need to. I’ve seen quite a lot of merges on the core recently - so it’s obvious things are moving in the right direction.
Yeah, I’m still seeing this bug when trying to post a thread or a picture post. “Link” posting seems to work alright though, but I can’t post any other type of content… It’s been this way for about a month. I’m sort of losing interest since I can’t really post threads - I can only comment.
I’m still reading through the 4th and final book in the Bobiverse series Heaven’s River. This one is quite a bit different as it focuses more on the personality of the main character and forces some self-reflection on ‘him’ and his clones. I’m finding it harder to finish than the last few - but still entertaining.
I also finished Exit Strategy by Martha Wells. These books are just really fast and fun. I can’t recommend the Murderbot series enough.
Not really, though. Rigid structure helps with ADHD, but only when someone else is enforcing the structure. Prepubescent kids with ADHD aren’t typically capable of maintaining their own structure. They aren’t neurotypical, it’s more than distraction and energy, they have a functioning issue. They can’t tune out all the stimulus that normal brains do, and because of it they miss a lot of social cues that help with development.
My son has ADHD and no amount of reorienting our family environment would help him - he could (and has) literally be in a bare concrete room with nothing but his thoughts and get distracted and slam his hands together making exploding/punching sounds for hours, where a typical kid would get bored in seconds.
