That’s interesting to know, thanks! Most coffee shops where I live would probably never get busy enough to use a spare shot. Perhaps they change out to a single shot portafilter, but I’ve never noticed.

Follow-up question - each portafilter is two shots right? So if you end up adding an third shot to a coffee, what do you do with the leftover fourth one?

(Or do you have a smaller, single shot portafilter?)

Ahh thanks. I think Pawb would be a good alternative then. I might set up an account as a backup option, just in case my instance does suddenly go offline.

Just remind me on this - if an instance like lemmy.ml has defederated yiffit, and I create an account on yiffit, would I still be able to see/interact with posts from on lemmy.ml communities? Or does it affect communication both ways?

Ah thanks for confirming that the upload issue is more widespread. I still may consider migrating anyway, as the owner of my current instance has gone awol, which doesn’t bode well…

Glad you enjoyed it! It was a really interesting heist type novel with some great world building. Cool how it basically started its own ‘cyberpunk’ genre.

I’ve read Project Hail Mary - that was great fun, and went to interesting places I wasn’t expecting.

11/22/63 is one I’ve been wanting to read. Will definitely do so at some point next year!

What did you think of Neuromancer? I finished that not too long ago.

Wow that’s a lot! Do you have any particular favourites of the ones you read?

Perhaps

LOOOK AЃ ͱANDS

Well I hope you’re able to slow down the pace a bit (assuming that’s what you want)!

Ah thanks for clarifying. Would you not say that reading it slower would be the more enjoyable method? If you’re after escapism, wouldn’t it be better to engage yourself fully in the plot? At least for me, I find escapism works best when I’m fully immersed in the story’s world and characters. What you’ve described sounds more akin to someone skimming a research paper.

Storygraph is quite a good alternative from my experience

There is definitely an element of that from the article and I agree it’s ridiculous. Some authors and their followers attack those who give poor reviews (because they can’t accept criticism, instead arguing that a ‘professional’ review would give them a much better score) and on the other side you have people reviewing books that aren’t even out. In many cases it’s no longer a place to find genuine reviews, but an unmoderated wild west with crap at both extremes (a bit like Twitter in that respect). It’s a shame because there are plenty of people leaving great reviews, but it’s becoming much harder to find them.

Out of interest, what do you mean ‘you don’t read too closely’?

Squeak :3

The texture of the balloons made me think I was looking at meat for a moment

Ahh that’s ok, thanks for confirming. Perhaps a future update to Lemmy may change things, but it’s only a minor concern regardless.

Maybe, though I wonder if there’s a way for voyager to adjust what is displayed

There are some great furry porn writers too :3

This! And I only check out the porn for the story
