Like others have said, usually there’s a bolt on the underside, but I have trouble seeing it in this picture. In some faucets (also some Grohe) there’s an Allen inside the faucet. Remove the spout by loosening the ring around the spout and there should be a threaded rod in which fits an Allen key.

I would say that it’s worth picking them up. Brandon Sanderson does a pretty good job. It’s not the same as Robert Jordan, but it doesn’t have to be. He does a goes job of capturing the feel of the series. And it reads differently from his own books, which isn’t easy to do. And I love how the story unfolds in the last book. There were definitely some story points I did not see coming.

I’ve read it and I loved it indeed. I hope The Doors of Stone comes out soon

There are definitely similarities, I agree. The setting out on a quest, multiple important characters but one that has the most important task, Rand shows some similarity to Frodo in their background, and a dark lord that’s wants to wreath the world in shadow. But then, it must be hard for a fantasy writer to not be influenced by Tolkien.

I have not, but it’s going on my reading list. Thanks for the tip. I like longer series, especially fantasy series that you can really delve into. So the Sword of Truth fits perfectly

I finished A Memory of Light (the final book in the Wheel of Time Series) and The Last Metal by Brandon Sanderson. Now I’m rereading The Lord of the Rings.

I’m also reading The Recording Engineers Handbook and Complete Vocal Technique.

Nice. I finished the final book a couple of weeks ago. It’s one of the best series I’ve ever read!

People also should be able to pay the artist directly and not some billion dollar company who continue to try to squeeze the artists and limit creativeness all in servitude to the almighty dollar (or any other currency)

Yeah it takes so much dedication and practice to become a successful writer, so it’s really remarkable that he wrote such a great story as his first novel. It shows his unique mind. And the raw (if you can call it that) feeling of Elantris adds to the charm for me. Its like seeing the writer grow and evolve before your eyes.

Oh wow, I didn’t know that! And so far I’ve enjoyed how he wrotw the WoT series. Keeping in touch with the overall feeling of the books, but still writing within himself and not trying to emulate Robert Jordan.

Nice! Reading WoT takes a while, but it so worth it

Thanks, I’m really looking forward to it! It’s been a long journey through these 15 books. And Brandon Sanderson is great, I love the Mistborn and Stormlight books, but Elantris is one that really gripped me. Such a interesting and well-written story.

I’ve started A Memory of Light. The last book in the Wheel of Time series.

And I’m also reading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

Seems to me that this is partly due to a lack of legislation when it comes to sick employees. I live in the Netherlands and if a employee gets sick a company has to keep paying their salaries for up to two years and help the employee re-enter the work place. Only after two years they can be fired, but then they get sickness benefits from the government.

Granted, this wouldn’t overcome all obstacles and I can imagine pilots would still be hesitant to come forward. And companies might be hesitant to hire employees with a history of mental health issues.

I have the Fairphone 4 and I’ve been very happy with it. It’s not as fast as the top models, but I have no use for a fast phone and every app I need works perfectly. It’s been such a relief knowing I don’t have to buy a new phone because the battery or the port died. And I tend to drop my phone regularly, so it’s great that I can switch out the screen. I’ll definitively buy another Fairphone when the time comes.

I deleted my Google account recently and I agree that Google maps is in a league of their own. I now use Magic Earth in my car, but searching for something is not as good as Google maps. But so far the realtime traffic info is good

I just watched episode two and I’m less optimistic than before. While it’s still better than season one, they’re combining too many storylines which makes it chaotic. Right now I’m thinking that they should never have made the show. The story is too large and complex too catch within a tv-series. Even though I enjoy watching the books come to life.

I watched episode 1. I thought it was better than the first season. Some better visuals and the pacing wasn’t as fast. It felt a bit more in line with the books on that front. So I hope that trend continues, because the pacing in the first season was terrible. It’s quality still doesn’t come anywhere close to the books though.

Edit: also the storyline of Nyneave is better than the first season, more in line with the books so far.

And the show gave more background information, so that’s good for people who haven’t read the books. But I still can’t really get over some storyline changes, because I don’t see the necessity.

Flight simming. Started out with a cheap joystick. Now I have an expensive one, throttle quadrants, rudder pedals, a vr headset and I’ve built myself a button box and a flight seat. And I’m now I want a helicopter collective. Oh well…

I now use wefwef.app. it’s pretty solid

Hype checking is not my strong suit
