More commuting, this time with bonus cascading transit failures. I made it in before the first meeting, so I guess that’s okay. Maybe I’ll get up even earlier next week, because the trains will still be messed up. It’s for the cause of electrification, which I definitely approve of, I just wish they could be better organized about it.

Read: Black Ops (Craig Alanson): Book four or so in the “Expeditionary Force” series, which Earl reminded me exists. A human fount of insane ideas and an absolutely terrifying ancient AI try to keep Earth out of the crosshairs of various asshole aliens, with mixed success but 110% shenanigans along the way. Has the problem common to MilSF where even the allegedly very advanced aliens have only incrementally better rifles and helicopters and whatnot, but who doesn’t like shenanigans?

Written: FAIL.
