I want to hear about your favorite books that include heists as a major element. Bonus points if it’s set in a fantasy, sci-fi, or non-contemporary setting. (Basically I want something like Gentleman Bastards that’s not just rereading Gentleman Bastards)
Last year I had an old concrete porch re-done. Long story short, they did not keep it wet when curing, and now the concrete has several cracks in it. I’m concerned about the cracks getting worse and spreading over time, so I am thinking about filling the cracks with some kind of compounds. Any recommendations? I’m thinking a...

I am setting ap on Old computer of mine as a local nextcloud instance and maby host my own little Blog. I wouldn’t do much else on this machine so I think an immutable Distribution like MicroOs would be the right choice....

Hi I got a very specific recommendation request:...
What kinds of tools or products do you know of that work well for moles? Not interested in trapping and releasing, or having dead and decaying animals underground. I’ve heard of the sonic spikes which may deter them but with mixed reviews

Instead of keeping it around for emergencies, it is now my main method of traversing the map - at least until the jetpack. It is a bit faster, but also it is much more fun than walking....
I’m rewatching it now, it’s so well written that it almost stands out from the rest of the episode. It comes off like something from David Mamet or The West Wing. It’s not Far Beyond The Stars or In The Pale Moonlight, the stakes of the episode are too low. But the material it gave all the actors to work with, the...
Do you reread books or are you done with them once you’ve read them?...
Sometimes I feel like I’m part of the minority who actually enjoyed Enterprise. Sure, there were some stinkers but the world was incredibly interesting and in Series 3 / 4 I really felt like it scratched that Trek lore itch for me....
As a noob this is likely me, but I tried to start a community on another server and I can’t see the post (my other account used to make said community) made and set as english. Unless it’s just me being a noob, that can’t be good. A cursory look seems to confirm that I can’t see anything aside from “Undetermined”.

Hello world!
I’m dragging myself through an “award-winning” “best-selling” “recommended” book I got from the library and wishing I hadn’t. (Yes I know those phrases mean little and I can stop, though I’m nearing the end after hoping it would stop being so hopeless. Yes I can be naively optimistic ;) .) The characters and...
I’ve been watching through ds9 for the first time and the show has always been good, even the first season I thought started fairly strong. And season 6 (as I’ve said in another post) has started really strong, with an actual deviation from the show’s status quo that lasts longer than one episode....
We know what causes magnetic fields and we know what their effects are, but what actually are they? What does it mean for them to be composed of “lines of force”? What is the mechanism of that force? What is actually going on in a magnetic field that the space outside of a magnetic field lacks?
From Wikipedia, “A practical effect is a special effect produced physically, without computer-generated imagery or other post-production techniques.”...
Hello!...
For context:...
The moon rotates once per revolution around the Earth, but that’s not a coincidence. Somehow the rotation and revolution are connected to each other. Some force is keeping them the same. How exactly does that work?

I’m looking at getting smart locks for my front and back door, but don’t know what to look for. Hopefully something with a keypad, so I can give friends a code to get in, and a RFID badge, so I can easily get in and out. Any suggestions are welcome!
