another favorite textbook: Vogel's "Textbook of Quantitative Inorganic Analysis", 3rd edition. I've verified that much good material was removed in the 4th edition and never replaced. https://witches.town/media/8a3WyxEFJW4pD5rXoog
what's your favourite textbook/reference book? why?
a line or two of conversation among my family last night makes me want to register shadytel.co or something similar https://witches.town/media/TKIUh96_XxFbr2B-ASc
@kara_dreamer I figure; he tries to make it all "charming" comic relief, cool visuals or pulse-pounding action. And Tolkien's originals are more poetic, gentle and slower paced.
LotR is story heavy and that kinda keeps him in line but Hobbit is maybe 4 hours of movie expanded to 9, so it's subject to his worst excesses.
one of these days I might actually write up something for my website about why the Peter Jackson LOTR films rubbed me very much the wrong way, and also using that as a vehicle for reexamining the books and talking about what about them still works for me and what doesn't. I'm not nearly the Tolkien fan I used to be, but LOTR _was_ my "Undertale" for a while, the popular work that woke something up inside me that I hadn't felt before.
@kara_dreamer I'm so glad for undertale existing and Undyne and Alphys being a pairing in canon because their relationship gives me liiiiiiffeeee
I don't work today so I don't _need_ Undyne's determination...oh, who am I kidding, if it weren't for these two I might not get out of bed some days

got my first paycheck and Daria's suggesting I should buy myself some kind of toy or other little thing for myself, maybe a game...and I can't think of a single definite thing. :/ I'm like, "well, I could buy socks for work"

Undyne as Jasper is a nice touch, I kinda like both of them ;3
Kamen Rider Build is getting heavy _early_, and I'm liking it a lot. My metamour actually seems to be liking it too and so far the only tokusatsu show he's really liked of the ones Daria has screened for him was (a bit curiously to me) ToQger.
