Favorite read of the year? Favorite recently discovered author? Recent book surprisingly made you DNF?

Yes there are vampires, and at the moment (70% of the book) I still dont completely get why, honestly... But I'm sure I'll understand 😁

OP, from China Mieville, let me suggest "the city and the city" a sort of detective story in a city that is split in 2 in a incredible and original way. I liked it more than embassytown

At the moment I'm reading Blindsight by Peter Watts, pretty mindblowing story about what life, what is conscience, what is real and what not. Still halfway

You can't park in the light rail station on the train tracks, mate

I guess that it means that train direction on that track was opposite... I don't think this makes this episode any worse 🤷‍♂️

I find this shocking. 60% of Canadians say they feel forced to own a car

It's advertising: they think they are "free" and really wanted to have a car

Good weather app with widget and doesn't need location data ALL THE TIME?

I use breezy weather:

nice looks
you can add multiple locations
for each location and for each parameters (weather, wind, pollution) you can use a different provider
nice selection of widget that you can customize

My possible explanation: breaking road rules is pretty common among all categories in Italy, unluckily:

https://feddit.it/comment/19978163

In Italy road rules are generally regarded as mild suggestions. Bikes and motorcycles on zebra crossings, cars engage in junctions even if they are not able to free them before red lights, causing gridlocks, and many things even much worse than that.

It's a general problem, but people driving cars as assholes are concretely more dangerous.
