  • I generally have more than 16 hours of energy in the day, so I actually did this for a while in college when I worked at a 24 hour job:

    Monday: 2am - 10pm - morning shift and midday classes

    Tuesday: 6am - 2am - morning shift and afternoon classes

    Wednesday: 10am - 6am -midday classes and evening shift

    ThursEve: 2pm - 10am - afternoon classes and overnight shift

    FriNight: 6pm - 2pm - partying, morning shift, and errands

    SaturSun: 10pm - 6pm - partying and miscellaneous

    Usually I had to fudge it a little bit to fit my exact class/work schedule, but it was honestly kinda dope. Less time struggling to fall asleep, 8 extra hours in the week, plenty of energy to party all night. If I could finagle my work schedule like that again, I’d probably go back to it.





  • Publication order is probably fine, though it takes a few books for him to settle into his general story structure. It’s not the only way, and unless you’re going to sprint through them in relatively quick succession it’s probably not the best way, as you may get lost in some of the focused character development.

    This is a bit of an open question. Most of the books center around one or another subgroup of characters (City Watch, the wizards, the witches, Death, etc.), although there’s some overlap. The way I’ve been going through seems to be roughly the agreed upon “best” way: choose one of these sub-groups and read all the books that center around them in order, then move on to another.

    Those sub-series are relatively self-contained, so I think you get more from exploring a theme from beginning to end than jumping from theme to theme. There are several tie-ins, but I don’t think they’re substantial enough to agonize over missing context.

    Personally, I’d either start with Guards! Guards! or Going Postal, as they’re the beginnings of the more grounded sub-series and give you a good foundation of the world in general, and Ankh-Morpork in particular. But as long as you’re not skipping ahead in a sub-series, you should be fine.


  • I only had one real relationship before my wife, and I was the one broken up with.

    I was devastated, and just generally sad for probably a month or so. After a while, I started to realize that my life with her would have been pretty bad. She was shallow, judgemental, not particularly bright, kinda bad in bed. I would’ve stayed with her out of loyalty though.

    It gave me the push to improve myself and get out there more, and I became much happier than I was when we were together. I’ve been with my wife for 13 years now, and she’s amazing.



  • I was gonna make a joke, but then I read the article and

    After serving enlisted in the United States Air Force, Eiffel entered the U.S. Air Force Academy in 1993. In her first year, she was sexually assaulted by another cadet, but thwarted the attack with a training sword. She was subsequently dismissed from the Academy with a personality disorder: “I really felt that the only way for me to sleep is if I was holding onto something, like my sword, because that was the one thing that protected me. And it just got worse,” she said.

    kinda takes the fun out of it
