I still remember when I first stumbled into a copy of Honor Among Enemies at the base library. No, I didn’t start David Weber’s epic mega-series at the beginning. So it’s not with great sadness anymore – as this decision was made over a year ago – that I’m basically buying nothing of his anymore.

Comcast authorized paid time off (1 hour) to protest, and a contract employee decided to counter protest: > I stood with a sign that read “#RememberTheVictims” and also held a photo of a man with whom I used to do business, and was killed in the Orlando night c…
**Update **– I belatedly realized there was so much bullshit here that I overlooked addressing a few points, and made a couple errors.
