    The wife likes stouts. I cannot stand even their aroma.

    Apparently Guinness tastes different depending on where it's made, and people swear it tastes much better in Ireland. I dunno.

    I can anecdotally confirm that this is the case. Guinness in England is a safe option, a stout that most pubs will have and be drinkable enough.

    Guinness in Ireland is incredibly smooth and refreshing for a stout. I still wouldn't call it my favourite stout or anything, but it's far better than the version you'll find elsewhere.

    Unlaw sounds more like a physical thing than lawlessness, which sounds more like a state.

    Ulov is not something I hear, but the construction makes sense. U- means bad. Like un- in unwell (Uvel). A famine following a uår, an unyear. The opposite of a friend, uvenn. Urett, injustice. So ulov, unlaw, doesn't mean lack of law as much as it means by terrible law, ("...the land be laid desolate").

    (also, ødelagt, øde-lagt, desolate-laid, is norwegian for "destroyed")

    so that's why I think it a fitting quote for the government to have above their heads. By law ye shall build the land. And take care not to, by un-law, destroy it.

    credeiki I'm about 100 pages into Provenance and it's pretty good!

    It's very small scale in the same way that Ancillary book 2 was, and interestingly I think it's from the POV of some non Raadch humans? I'm fuzzy on the specifics of that.

    Oh nice!
    I'm waiting until it's out in paperback which somehow means waiting until July? Bullshit...but I really don't like carrying around hardcover books or having them looking all ungainly on the shelf (of course I have tons, including some series where the first two are paperback and the third is hardcover but that's soooo displeasing)

    I'm almost done with A Closed And Common Orbit and almost every chapter makes me cry on the metro
    Slightly more happens than in A Long Way To A Small Angry Planet but it's still very heavy on the feelings and relationships

    US national anthem has been gender neutral for over two centuries. "Freemen" doesn't really count as a gender reference, it already means both men and women.

    US is more progressive than sexist Norway. We are happy to welcome Canada into the ranks of the nations that actually care about gender equality.

    Also

    Wouldnt that be a five dimensional jesus

    No, three dimensional jesus.

    Four dimensional jesus is about tesseracts, which he later included skillfully.

    Five would be 5-cubes, which have a boring as shit name.

    apropos anthems the swedish one is very nice. It could basically be used as ours, too with a find and replace, except for that reference to Sweden's Great Power age. "I want to live, I want to die in the north" is such a great line for the chorus.

    https://youtu.be/9LiN57nfjFw

    Thou ancient, Thou free, Thou mountainous north
    Thou quiet, Thou joyful beautiful!
    I greet thee, loveliest land upon earth,
    Thy sun, Thy sky, Thy climes green.
    Thy sun, Thy sky, Thy climes green.

    Thou thronest on memories of great olden days,
    When honoured Thy name flew across the earth,
    I know that Thou art and wilt remain what thou werest,
    Yes, I want to live, I want to die in the North.
    Yes, I want to live, I want to die in the North.

    The state government pays its residents to live there.

    otherwise it's shockingly expensive to visit.

    I think it's like one of the scandinavian countries -- they had a nest egg from selling oil rights. Except Alaska has wasted most of it.

    Alaska gives it away every year to its citizens.

    I like that because even though it's not enough money to live on or anything, like a thousand per person, it's step one towards a UBI (and from a red state!).

    Ha, there's loads of press being given to a new wonder material that doesn't support the growth of biofilms.

    I've just read the paper. It's a nanostructured surface that effectively has lots of little wrinkles filled with silicone oil. By their own admission it washes away in a couple of days. And it's filled by spin coating.

    Sounds super useful.
