• A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking, T Kingfisher. Technically YA, but still a brilliant book that doesn't shy away from being real. If doesn't feel YA. T Kingfisher has plenty of other options to choose from as well.
• Legends and Lattes, Baldree. On the lighter and simpler side, enjoyable characters and character development.
• Of Shadow and Sea, Will Wight. Multiple strong female protags and with MC being an assassin, there's plenty of stabbing. Part of trilogy.
• The Hollow Places, T. Kingfisher. More on the horror side of fantasy. Continues to have lovable characters
• The Murderbot Diaries, Martha Wells. Hilarious, sometimes violent, sci Fi. I guess technically not a female protags?
• Gideon the Ninth, Tamsyn Muir. Sci Fi with fantasy feel. Plenty violent, mystery, great female protags and characters, can be difficult to follow but still thoroughly enjoyable.
• Iron Widow, Xiran Jay Zhao. Sci Fi alternate History China with mech warriors. Murder and power to stop girls from being sacrificed. Fun for the whole family.
• Rosemary and Rue, Seanan McGuire. Urban faerie fantasy and investigator noir book one. She has a couple of urban fantasy series you may be interested in.

Edit

• Ninefox Gambit, Yoon Ha Lee. MilitarySpace Sci Fi with intriguing technology and cultural evolutions. Creative and artistic.

Unfortunately, having a job is horrible for your privacy. You're required to provide full personal details to be hired to an employer with dubious security who forces you to sign up for accounts with likely either Microsoft or Google. Depending on your position you either need to use your personal phone for work (and your work accounts are easily tied to your phone), or carry a work phone with you, which you have even less control over than normal.

That isn't really helpful.

I think to your original question, it's more about sanitizing what is published. On LinkedIn and Indeed. Whenever possible apply directly through the website. But everywhere is going to require similar levels of personal information. As far as being worried about spam; using another email account is probably easiest. You don't want to risk missing an important email while you are looking.

The most surprising part of the article:

None of the officers, nor the driver and another passenger, were injured.

Damn near any song by them would be great.

Under fire? Really? Sounds like some questions in response to someone literally being fired upon.

"Sordid for-profit and outright greed" is Exxon's mission statement.

I didn't get it at first, but good joke, close enough to whole ass.

I don't have many answers, but a couple more things to think about:

The fixture needs to handle the increased heat and wattage.

If you're using something built in, the switch also needs to handle increased wattage.

Most of the above are probably not designed to handle "dimming" to control the heat.

Electric blankets might be a good starting place

Also, LEDs are generally about efficient production of light with less heat waste; I don't think it's likely to meet your needs.

I think it's a cool idea, please let us know if you're successful!

They have quite a few posts that are primarily about design philosophy. It's clear they put a lot of time and effort into it. One of my favorites that has driven a lot of innovation in you can interact with the game is

One that I find myself coming to a sort of grudging agreement with is (veterancy for units isn't good):

Thank you, zero k interface is amazing, and their "cold takes" show a design philosophy I constantly find myself wishing I'd find pretty much everywhere else.

The Top Gun soundtrack definitely sets the standard.

Just requires one more comma after "destroy"

Although I guess while I'm being pedantic they should be ellipses.

Your number one concern is that if you search for a word it doesn't give you results for another word? Should they be training the search index with urban dictionary just to be sure?

With the extra commas he's destroying their balls with his balls, just like they already destroyed their balls with his balls.

Especially co-op, Torchlight was fantastic. Basically all of the right QoL implementations so everything was just about having fun.

Grim Dawn; ARPG from 2016, currently on sale for a few $ on steam. Very well rated with solid story, mechanics, and campaign focus (instead of more on seasons and grind).

That's just designed to instigate cat drama.

The genocide Joe rhetoric disappeared pretty quickly too. That was a friendly nickname, wouldn't actually want to acknowledge it's a genocide.

So much of the morality we're taught is really only applicable to our class.

Well, that's why he's qualified.
