Could not stand Neuromancer. I think it’s historically important for really inventing the cyberpunk genre. But the story is cocaine riddled and most of the characters are flat.

Why hide that? She’s got an amazing voice and great rhythms.
Do you understand how complex it is to even have a force field? Then to have it be selective to keep air inside but let solid matter pass through? And you want to scale that complexity to a larger size? Just asking for problems.
Cochise county is the south eastern corner of AZ. It’s about 50/50 Sonoran desert and mountainous area. This definitely appears to be the desert area. I’ve never seen a bear outside mountainous areas personally, pretty sure that’s a rare occurrence.
Dealing with dates and times in software will get you formatting using year-month-date and 24 hour time as the least possible chance for confusion.
I dunno, kids get really excited when they see Waymos.
If you’re in a studio apartment, you don’t really have a separate room for sleeping, so you likely have a tv visible from bed. If you move up to a 1 or 2 bed apartment, now you have a a living room, and a tv visible from bed is a choice. Guessing OP recently upgraded their living situation and is seeing how others do it.
The book Enders Game. I was will bullied in grade school. As was Ender. The overall theme is that it’s effectively impossible to maintain a defensive posture indefinitely. Be that always ready for dealing with bullies at school or home, to dealing with an alien threat becoming nearly impossible in three dimensions.
Ender comes up with the philosophy that you have to win, but not just win that fight/battle, you have to win so decisively that there won’t just be another fight later. While this turns out to be effective, it also results in genocide.
This resulted in a restrained version of the philosophy in me. When diplomacy fails, fight for your life, but know when you’ve won, know when you’ve prevented the next fight(s). And most importantly, know when to stop.
Everyone shits on Discover and Amex though, two companies that tried to break in. Discover gave up the fight and got bought by Capital one after 40 years of growing from the Sears in store credit card.
For alternatives to break the duopoly, people need to actually use them.
My blueray player broke, and my tv stopped showing me to use certain apps and I can’t figure out why. But a used PS4 cost me $85 and solved all my problems. And they left a copy of Minecraft in it, so I even have a game to play.

The Zoey Ashe series by Jason Pargin, some wrote under the pseudonym David Wong.
More a comedic take on the genre, but still a fun read.
