I have no idea how this has so many good reviews. It was barely a mystery book IMO. First 25% was interesting and felt like a mystery book. Then the next 75% felt like a lifetime flick, where people are trying to become friends and building relationships. There was ZERO Sleuthing here or really any mystery.

What was the point of Vera writing down notes about who the killer was? Only for the author to stop bringing it up? Vera was just a supporting character like everyone else. She didn't even really solve the mystery.

It felt like they just solved the case organically by going about their day. Like here is a random manuscript laying on a bed. Oh my bird nest is missing, now I solved the crime! And the Dad endings up doing the deed because he got angry at his son. Like there was no other option? You can't just talk it through like normal people?

You don't even need to read half the book. Because it's just filler. There were multiple chapters of Julia trying to become a photographer again. What was the point in that???? Had nothing to do with the story.

Stupid book no idea how its highly acclaimed.

I'm between jobs, so I've been day trading while also applying for jobs. But the gap is getting larger since the job market isn't so great.

I'm curious peoples thoughts on putting day trading on their resume? The one thing I don't want people to think, is that I'll Daytrade while I'm on the job. Especially if its a remote job.

Also I know you'll kinda be scrutinized for it or looked down on, since there is a somewhat a negative connotation with it. With all the tiktok Furu's with their lambos.

Or should I just leave the section blank, and say Sabbatical? its been almost 1 year for the gap.

thoughts on this?

I have an old bike. I'm sure they would want to test ride it. I'm in the city, so I would just ride to the meet up spot. Then walk back, if it's sold.

Im sure they would want to test ride it. To make sure it fits them well. But of course I don't want them to just ride like hell, out of Dodge.

Do I ask for the money up front before they even test ride it?

It was interesting at first. But now it's boring. She just keeps going back in time, but not progressing at all in the plot. And the plot itself with her son is just boring. I lost interest what's going on with her Husband and Son.

Only reason I want to continue is to understand why it's all happening. But the plot itself I stopped caring about.

Thoughts if I should continue or just end it?

Got around $30k in margin account. But i need to take out like $8. So I'll be below the minimum $25k.

Can I take the $8k, then Swap to Cash? I still want to make trades, but don't want to be restricted due to PDT rules of $25k minimum.

Then after the PDT updates. Go from Cash back to margin, since the minimum is much lower now?

Or would IBKR block the conversion from Cash back to Margin?

None of us will ever go to Space, so looking to go there with my imagination.

Absolutely love these aspects

- space colony vibe

- different planets

- Hyper sleep

- Action or mystery

Doesn't necessarily need aliens. But don't mind it as well

I typically read thriller and have done some scifi/fantasy, Red rising Mistborn, Jade city.
