Pick my next adventure - I'll read to top voted book

Late late year I hadn't read a single Terry Pratchett book despite being a lifelong fantasy and sci-fi reader when a friend introduced me to it. So at the young age of 41 I had the joy of discovering the wonderful world of Terry Pratchett. I started with Mort after reading that Terry suggested his writing really came together there, and I was hooked.

I have since worked my way through the series and have scored them along the way.

Small gods has been my absolute favourite, while I'm not a huge fan of the Rincewind books so far.

Based on my rankings so far, what would you suggest I tackle next?

Does voice mode actually work for anyone on android?

I work across chats, projects and cowork, mostly on my computer but occasionally I want to quickly follow up on something via my phone and in that instance I try to use the voice mode (not voice to text).

And it just simply doesn't work. When I open it, 80% of the time the black screen (dark mode) comes up telling me to start talking. And when I do.... Nothing. I usually have to just ramble on for a bit until about 20 seconds in it picks up a random word.

From then onwards it tried to keep up but will randomly cut out in the middle of a response or not capture what I'm saying.

For being on the Pro plan, this is pretty poor performance. I'm using it often enough that it's a nuisance and is making me want to migrate back to Open AI.

I know others have this issue, but has anyone actually been able to resolve it.

General hygiene question

I just had HT at one of the top surgeons in Thailand. While the procedure was very professional, I find the general level of hygiene a bit substandard. I'm from Australia where anything touching a wound would be sterile or sterilised.

Here in the clinic, when I go for my day one and two after care hair wash, I just sit in the same chair as the person before me, with a faux leather cover over the sink, which I end up directly lying on. Now, I cant know what their cleaning routine is between patients but I could see water droplets on it as if it was just rinsed.

I did actually ask them to clean it again before I laid down and they have it another rinse (I would have hoped for a alcohol/sterile wipe or over a sterile pad).

Ultimately I am laying down on the same surface as someone else just before me who had 1000s of incisions to the back of their head.

Let's assume someone has hepatica or any other transmittable disease, I'm not sure a rinse does the job.

Similar when I lay down for red light therapy. It's always a towel or microfibre cloth that afterwards gets washed (I can small the detergent on it) but I'm lying directly on it with my donor area, the day after the surgery.

At home, I would hope for this to be a sterile pad.

What was your experience?

HT tomorrow, any tips for before after?

Hey, I've got a HT tomorrow in Bangkok with Dr Ratchathorn. For those who have completed theirs, do you have any tips you can give? Maybe things you discovered in hindsight you wished you knew at the time? I'm in for 4000+ grafts. I am and will be on Finasteride but currently only on topical Minoxidil and my GP has suggested not to go on oral Minoxidil as there are quite a few side effects.

I'll of course follow the recommendations of the doctor and likely won't venture too far in Bangkok as its 36C most days in tend to sweat pretty easily, plus I've got plenty of work to do.

I.e. immediately after, did you take sleeping meds to get some rest? How did you get comfortable or was that not really an issue?
