A young woman I knew was complaining that she had made plans to meet a friend in the city (long before most people had mobile phones), but the friend hadn’t showed up so she waited for a long time on the street corner.
My brother immediately chipped in, “what was his name, John?”
Which Google lens work? And take a picture of each page and feed it to the Google translate engine. It might be the easiest way.
You skipped over the part where you attempt to plug it in, flip the USB connector attempt again, flip it again, and finally it goes in.
Coincidentally, I speak English, French and Japanese, and am learning Spanish (and I learned German and Sesotho in the distant past). I cheated, however all except Spanish were learned at least partially by immersion in places where they speak it.
I have had nicks in my windshield due to gravel thrown up by vehicles traveling in the opposite direction.
Following on what you said, it’s also true that for a long time it was difficult for women to get published in the science fiction genre. Many of them relied on male pseudonyms (i.e. Andre Norton, James Tiptree Jr.).
But OP was speaking specifically about fantasy books, and not specifying only bestsellers.
My guess, with no data to back it up, is that both men and women enjoy writing fantasy and science fiction, and many of them are good at it.
But writing science fiction often requires a science background, and historically there are many more men than women who have that. It is certainly becoming more balanced, but the difference is still there.
So women, who generally don’t have as scientific a background, turn to fantasy where they can create their own worlds.
There’s also a difference, because our elections typically have only a few races on them. In other words, at the federal level I only vote for the candidates in my writing. Typically four to six options.
In a us election, there can be a ballot containing choices for many different levels, including judges, district attorneys, and so on. Not to mention they might have several referenda on the same ballot too.
I could see that being much more complex on paper, making electronic voting attractive.
I have started using Tux Guitar. It’s an open source version of Guitar Pro, and can read Guitar Pro files.
I second this. It also teaches without using rote memorization. Better than any other books or videos I have ever seen. I have been supporting LT with a monthly donation for several years now.
It’s even better than that. In WordPress, you can select a plug-in from within your WordPress administration, and install it directly. You receive update notifications by email, and can upgrade within the administration panel as well. You don’t have to download and then upload anything.
In both Drupal and WordPress, you can upgrade the site and plugins/modules from CPanel.
I find Drupal just as easy to set up as wordpress. Most shared web hosts have a script to do everything for you, including installing updates. In fact, I find Drupal’s administration more logical and easier to manage. (I may be biased, since I spent 10 years developing Drupal sites.)
The other advantage is that, unlike WordPress, Drupal themes and plugins (the Drupal term is “modules”) are almost all open source and free. I find that WordPress has lots of plugins that give you the basic version for free, but then want to upsell you to a paid version.
I know someone who is allergic to garlic. Sometimes I wonder how sad her life must be.
Not only that, but many of his books are freely available epubs with no DRM. You can read them and decide if you like his style before going on to buy the others.

My recommendation is Language Transfer, a freely-available system for multiple languages that, in my opinion, helps you to think in another language better than any other system I have tried.
I like Jitsi, but when I record a session it always silently aborts after about 40 minutes.
$75,000,000 ÷ 26 = $2,884,614
$2.8 million every 2 weeks, not $3.125 million twice a week.
The reality is bad enough without exaggeration.
Try Language Transfer. I can’t recommend it highly enough. It is just a set of MP3 files that you listen to. The teacher explains something to the student, and the student tries it out.
It sounds silly, but it works really well, and it is the best language resource I’ve ever used.
You can use them through SoundCloud (downloadable MP3s), YouTube, or with the simple but very effective app.
It’s all free, although you are welcome to support the project with donations. I have been making a monthly donation for several years now.
Conversely, Japanese people learn to tell the difference between an “o” vowel held for shorter or longer periods, a skill that I find incredibly difficult even though I lived in Japan for 7 years.
