should I ruin the mystery?

I know how often these books get the "should I keep going?" question, but let me phrase it a bit different.

I'm 1/3 into absolution. I made a post about acceptance and wanting to throw in the towel. I finished it and felt like most of my questions were left unanswered. I UNDERSTAND this a feature not a bug.

so.. I feel like absolution might just be better for me if I know what's happening. bc right now it feels completely mostly disconnected from the other books (I've heard it's kind of a side story) and I feel so lost.

my reading comprehension is probably not great.. so yeah for similar readers who just like to know what's happening and not solve the puzzle themselves, should I read a summary or should I just wait bc the mystery is worth it. no spoilers if possible please.

i just moved so i have a new internet provider, my plex is saying not authorized. i dropped out of computer science because i just cant figure these things out.

i followed this article and i do know enough to deal with registries.
https://support.plex.tv/articles/204281528-why-am-i-locked-out-of-server-settings-and-how-do-i-get-in/

at first the error changed to say it couldnt find my pc but is now back to saying not authorized.

then i came across this article https://www.plexopedia.com/plex-media-server/general/claim-server/

it mentions setting up a SSH tunnel and thats where im lost i dont know anything about ssh and minimal things about networking. i really just want to watch a movie but plex is just too complicated for me. :(

I know MiracleGro is not top tier, but I purchased bags of local compost from our community garden center over the weekend and needed to cut it 1:1 for my kids planter (he wants to grow micro things) and this was 50% off at Lowe’s.

Planning to mix the 2 in a wheelbarrow, I dumped the MiracleGro first (thankfully!).

When I found a few bits at first, I thought, hey, it happens and we get plastic blown in or rained in to the yard too… but they kept appearing and appearing and here ya have it.

.75 cubic feet of “Garden Soil” literally soiled by trash. 99% plastic. But glass and metal shards found too.

This was going to go into my kids cedar planter I made him and honestly, hard plastic fragments cut just like metal and glass.

I’m a bit shocked.

(The 2 other bags of the same I bought look just as bad as this one.)

Be careful out there with big box bags.
