We discovered that many towns in Iceland have municipal pool/sport complexes, and those were great to visit. They were quite affordable for single visits, the pools were great (with various pool temperatures to choose from), and many of them had extras like pool toys and waterslides, which were a hit with the kids.
This is very nice. I didn't know Pluto's orbit was more inclined than many of the others.
It also gives me strong "The Expanse" vibes. Probably because there are so many orbital bodies shown that were mentioned in those books. I also learned that Pallas is an actual asteroid.
Appreciate the comment! The Expanse and Paul McAuley's Quiet War series both get a lot of inspiration credit for this project. I tried to include every body that has some "brand recognition", whether from fiction or from real spacecraft missions. There are actually quite a few asteroids and comets that have been visited in real life — NASA, ESA, and JAXA have been doing amazing things in the Asteroid Belt over the past few decades.
Seconded, the whole design seems like something straight out of the books. And it also feels like it's just waiting for other solar systems to be included there…
About a month ago started reading the first book of the Murderbot Diaries (All Systems Red) after seeing it recommended multiple times. I have to admit that it didn't sound all that interesting, but I'm glad I gave it a try.
It's really good, and I've since read the next two books. They are all more of a novella length, so I've been finishing them much faster than the average novel.
I wanted to call that one out if anyone is looking for a good read.
Also, Mistborn has been memorable since I first read it about 8 years ago. That's a very good story. I'm considering reading it again, which I rarely do with books I've read within the past decade.
As a Californian living in the central valley, where we never get snow, I had never heard of snow tires until I lived in Germany, where seemingly everyone had them in winter. Nobody around here has them or even sells them.
When we go up into the mountains in winter, either the roads are cleared and we can drive on them with normal tires, or it's snowing heavily and we put snow chains on the tires and drive slowly. I've only had to use snow chains a couple times in my life because I generally only go into the mountains when it's not currently snowing, which is most of the time.
Climate change has made the climate drier here, the mountains get a lot less snow than they used to. It also helps that real winter with snow storms only lasts about 3 months.
It's the same for Canada if you choose to drive any of the mountain highways passes. The cops will fine you if they catch you without a "mountain-snowflake" graded tire.
I also discovered Storyteller among the Netflix games and loved it: truly a gem. However, just like you said, when I finished it, I didn't have any reason to come back to it.
"Into the Breach", on the other hand, kept me coming back for a long time. It's definitely an iOS game though: completely unsuitable for most devices that use Netflix.
That was one thing that the article didn't explain that I was curious about. What does days mean in this context and how does the court determine the number of them? Why days combined with a variable fee vs just a variable fee?
I'm an experienced software engineer (15+ years) with leadership experience looking for a senior+ software engineer position. I'm comfortable with scalable distributed systems, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, automated testing and deployment, backend services, full stack web development, SQL and NoSQL databases, and AWS cloud infrastructure.
I specialize in full stack web development and backend services on AWS, and I welcome the opportunity to learn new things. I can easily adapt to your tech stack. I also love writing technical documentation.
As a software engineer, I enjoy challenging technical work, collaboration, mentoring, and figuring out what can bring the most value to my organization.
I enjoy experimenting with different languages and technologies. My current project is learning Go, but I previously played around a lot with Elixir. I wrote approximately 80 posts regarding the various aspects of Elixir, which you can see on my blog at https://inquisitivedeveloper.com
I'm looking for a place with a high degree of collaboration where I can work with kind and supportive colleagues to build something that makes people happy.
It would be awesome to have a map view where I could visualize the itinerary and the times and distances between each place.
It's a lot easier to plan an itinerary (especially one when driving over many days) when I can see where and when I'll be with the distances and travel times. Creating overly ambitious itineraries where there's not enough time at each place can be a problem.

As a manager, I turn ambiguity into clarity. I enjoy working on technical tasks along with my team, yet staying off the critical path so I can prioritize supporting my team. I serve my team, not the other way around.

If that sounds promising, reach out to me. I'd love to talk with you!
