Dungeon Crawler Carl, on the third book. It’s decently fun after the disappointing “The Devils” from Abercrombie.
The latter was not that bad, by the way. I just have to accept that Abercrombie will never reach the level of his first five books again.

Arklatex sounds like software for reverting typeset math into bad handwriting.

You have P(dad is bald | son is balding). If you can find P(bald) and P(born to a bald dad) - assuming the latter doesn’t impact the sex ratio - you could use Bayes’ Theorem instead of searching for P(son is balding | dad is bald).

Hamas would have scavenged such a facility long before it produced anything. Rockets now or nukes later? The decision practically makes itself.

Topical for Greenwald and maybe his opposition!
Braces -> LISP -> lisping -> male homosexuality -> also topical for Greenwald with some stretching? So maybe brackets.

It must take tremendous restraint to avoid the phrase “pissed off” in sharing this story.

Langrisser is great for F2P challenge accounts with a deliberately gimped roster. Arknights is also good in that regard.

The Union has gulags out of sight in Angland; one of the main characters had run such a gulag just prior to the novels, and sends people there during.

Seconding the First Law, with the caveat that some of the (six) protagonists fail pretty hard on the hypocrisy metric.
Bach - pretty much everything, but the catalog #1052 keyboard concerto stands above the rest. Glenn Gould is a wonderful choice here.
Mozart - Sonata #8, symphonies #25 and 40. Probably anything else he composed in minor key is brilliant too.
Beethoven’s violin and third piano concertos. Appassionata. Symphonies 5 and 7.
Schubert’s Death and the Maiden.
Chopin’s first piano concerto.
Grieg’s piano concerto.
Dvorak’s cello concerto.
Sibelius’s violin concerto. You want Oistrakh’s recording.
Rachmaninov’s second piano concerto.
Shostakovich’s 5th symphony.
Sviridov’s Snowstorm suite.

The untranslated word in his mind was almost certainly “pidoraz.” He was picturing child molestors where you pictured consenting homosexuals.

For the purposes of such an American thread, wouldn’t a merkin serve better?

The guy has an obvious personal preference for the welcoming and affurming faction. It is to his credit that he brought up the FAA thing at all rather than accept it as part of the cost (or worse, benefit) of his faction being in power.
If Mistborn is at all representative, there’s a long way to fall yet.
