It's like they say: "Where there's a whip there's a way"

Brave New World. That teacher got me into some sci-fi & dystopian greats!

One of the greatest things about building a Tyranids army (or at least when I played during 3rd/4th/5th edition) is that you can more or less do whatever color scheme you enjoy the most. There are more than a handful ideas out there based on the different Tyranid Fleets in the lore though. Also agreed that this person's doing one bangup of a job!

I will GROND every day until I'm accepted as a subscriber.

The first local instance I signed up before I fully understood/realized what I was doing was focused on getting together a Chinese or Chinese American instance. Seemingly decent, but I just really didn't want to be barging in on something that wasn't for me. People seem to really be liking Jerboa, but I find it much simpler finding other instances in the web browser. I still have much to learn though.

 

Nepenthes x Lady Luck and Drosera x Spatulata after moving into 1/2 perlite and peat moss. Roughly cut away and then sanded some planters with very small built in reservoirs.

Have a Venus flytrap and saracennia purpea x purpea that need a repotting but I overwintered them a couple weeks too long.

Thanks! Fortunately, I find them to be a pretty easy read. The Sci-Fi explanations and concepts aren't overly technical, and just enough to really get a good feel for the setting and tech IMO. The first 2/3 were great. I'm really interested in what'll be going on in the time jump.

I'll be finishing the last 3 Expanse books once I get my new library card after I moved over a year ago. I made the decision to read the forward and first chapter of my copy of LOTR *eta today. Damn, does it feel like it reads differently than when I read through any of them 8+ years ago. Had a touch-and-go with reading for enjoyment for a while from having to learn different organization/local SOPs for a couple years (during which I read the middle 1/3 of the Expanse). Great to get back into it, though! For Sci-Fi folks, LeVar Burton posted an article on LinkedIn this past week of top modern SciFi. He does say it's also celebrating him being included on that list. https://theportalist-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/theportalist.com/adult-sci-fi-books?amp=1 Some mild webpage ad alert
