I think it's more the third party voters (which effectively are Republican voters, by taking away Dem votes). And abstainers, which, ditto.

Yes, exactly. If you live in a solid blue or red state, your vote is a drop in the bucket, so it won't matter if you vote third party. But in swing states like Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania.... in 2016, the number of votes won by Jill Stein was slightly greater than the difference between Trump/Clinton. Ouch! Was it worth it? Did it move the country left?
came here to say the same. I've spent a lot of time on this one!
You've got upper management written all over you.
I've just been seeing them around today, for some reason. Glitch in the matrix?
I might be in the minority on this, but even though the story arc is VERY unfinished, I still came away with the feeling that I just read some great stories, I know (and like) the main character very well, many of the 2000 pages made me smile broadly and/or well up with tears a few times. No regrets here, even if bk 3 never comes out. But I also do totally hear you. It'll be worth the wait (and it's gotta be coming... someday.... lol).
Cool about Drizzt! I enjoyed (what I read of) The Dark Elf trilogy.. I forget how much I read, but, very cool world-building.
I finally finished books 1 and 2 of The Kingkiller books (Rothfuss) and thoroughly enjoyed them. I'm now onto Blood Meridian, by Cormac McCarthy.
Hahaha! Yes, I also grind my partner's for her, whenever I'm around... I keep offering to buy her an electric one, but.. then that would be so LOUD... :)
It's from the movie Animal House. :) One of my favorite scenes ever (because who hasn't been that kid? lol).
Whoa, that's impressive that you hand grind for espresso. That takes a bit of muscle even with a pretty dark roast I'd guess. I mostly use it for pourovers, but even on a coarse grind, some of those lighter roasted African beans can have me working up a sweat. :)
Oh and a couple of beans always pop out of the top! I've been meaning to custom-fit some kind of lid..
Yeah I remember that one too! All kinds of stuff like standing up, twirling around three times and shouting.. Most of the class was racing through it as fast as they could. 5th grade I believe...
