  • The wooden deck is a weird element to bring into it. In the US decks are sometimes there for conservancy reasons. They’re present along parts of the Appalachian trail.

    I might instead draw the line based on whether members of your party are putting it up and taking it down as part of the trip.

    But I could also see electricity being a reasonable dividing line. Like a cabin several miles from where you can get a motorized vehicle might be more camping than a tent in your backyard that you ran an extension cord and a TV out to.

    I’m ok with others drawing lines elsewhere though.



  • I liked them. The arc of the first two is over. You get more details about the Shrike, but if you’ve gone years without reading further, I can’t imagine it’s that pressing.

    If you reach a point where you’re looking for sci fi, and don’t have another obvious choice, go for it you’ll probably like them. But I wouldn’t recommend shifting them above anything in your backlog. Hyperion and Fall off Hyperion really are the stars here.











  • It’s not simply a reading comprehension thing with bullet points. If your questions require research on my end having them already structured in bullets does a few things to help with that process.

    The asker’s bullet structure gives something to mimic. You can even put your answers directly below the question, so the asker can be reminded of their own questions.

    The bullets also help skimming, if I need to see which item id is needed next it’s easier to do so without losing my place.

    Bullet grammar structure also allows for much terser sentences. If I need to reread your question it’s easier if I don’t have to ignore a bunch of words that don’t substantively alter the meaning.

    Do I need any of these? No. Could I put the questions into bullets myself for the reply? Sure. But it’s easier to spend more time and effort on answering your questions if you save me a few steps.
