Not sure if /s, but just in case: The Gripen engine (the „power plant“) is built under license and derived from the General Electric F404 engine, which means that the US basically has a veto vote on who SAAB can sell the Gripen to. Replacing that engine with a european-built (be it Dassault or Airbus or whatever) alternative would make the Gripen a much better plane given the current state of affairs.

I also recently finished the Dark Tower and man… don‘t read the finale sitting in a crowded bus like I did, too many feels ._.

Not sure that link is working correctly?

… you do know that every subsequent book in the series longer than the previous one, right? ._.

The final book of the Dark Tower series! Been slowly working my way through them, and just started the seventh volume.

“One more turn of the path, and then we reach the clearing.”

Mass Effect Legendary Edition!

This reminds me of that one subreddit, “science diagrams that look like shitposts“ or something like that?

Apollo walked so Voyager could run

Very interesting read!

Have you read Livesuit? It‘s a short novella set in the same universe. Can highly recommend!

Mine as well, just absolute cinema all the way through!

I guess you don’t get the emotional impact as compared to having played the whole trilogy, but it was enough fun on its own that it made me come back to it all these years later!

Slowly making my way through the Mass Effect Legendary Edition after grabbing it during a Steam sale! I only played ME3 when I was a teenager, so it‘s really fun to finally get the full experience.

Making my way through The Dark Tower series, after reading and abandoning it halfway through as a teenager. Just started Song of Susannah, say thank ya.

Damn the Gripen looks so cool from that angle

Kansei Dorifto??

What about Wheel of Time? It‘s so long it might keep you occupied until Stormlight 6…

Every SA book has been longer than the previous one, and I think Sanderson mentioned that the Rythm of War paperback, at the time when it released, was pushing the limit of thickness that the publisher was able to print. These are chonky books indeed.

Oh wow, that seems like a major oversight. Imagine in the beginning of TWoK it would have just skipped straight over the prelude and you never got to see the breaking of the Oathpact.
