I really enjoyed the dark tower short in the legends of fantasy books which I highly recommend to OP to get a taste of different writers.
People's comments of the later books in the series have put me off on trying to read the series since I have plenty of other things on my list still.
I like Pratchett's world building but I hate the naming of things. I lose track of the who and where because my brain refuses the associations.
Fairy Tale was decent. I read or listen to a lot of books, if you go through books quickly you'll probably enjoy it, if you are the kind of reader that takes your time the pacing might be slow.
Theres a lot of tribute material, but it didn't add up to enough to make me tired of it.

300mcg melatonin is the recommended dosage to be effective and not have extra side effects. Higher dosages aren't any more effective. I can't take it very long or i start to feel some melancholy.
Sleepy time tea helps, listening to not that entertaining of audiobooks, meditation, reading wikipedia. Some people don't react to benadryl in the intended way.
If your balcony could support the load you could grow quite densely with hydroponic towers, but you won't ever recoup the costs. That method is also very little work beyond the initial compared to soil.
The article doesn't say that. It says that most arent spending above 43% on housing. It doesn't dig into that, likely on purpose.

Rigid filter works great. I only use paper filters if I am bored and want to use the aeropress.
Fascism is more about control and there's a lot of pivoting to maintain the appearance of authority. So there is a lot of hypocrisy on topics that are often claimed that they are just totally against. Fascist leaders work with highly regarded artists that will have them or that are forced to work with them. Fascists want to look cool and well put together, so art is crucial to them. Meanwhile they will say art is not a real career and will hate art that doesn't support the latest narrative.
There's not a strict black and white on the fringes of their ideologies, it's more what they can use to increase power.
Emulate a block device and reference it to the cloud api, unless im missing something.
Ubuntu is fine. Drivers are annoying on all distros (nvidia updates for me mainly, I don't update hardware often).
I have daily driven various distros and tested a lot since the 90s and I pay close attention to time spent on customizing and fixes, and ubuntu just isn't worse than other distros. I make setup scripts and have custom dockerfiles for webtops.
I want to like nixos or whatever fork will prevail, but it's more work than people want to admit. I personally don't want to have to pay that much attention to my operating system. It's why i ditched gentoo almost 20 years ago. I don't want to lurk forums for fixes and tweaks. I also make sure hardware I buy doesn't have glaring compatibility issues.
If Ubuntu rubs you the wrong way but you are fine with most of it, just use debian.
