"I'm a mathematician, everyone already thinks I'm insane, I have no reason to care what others think of my choices." My dynamical systems professor in graduate school who is ironically the one who taught me my introduction to chaos theory... Picture perfect that moment was, and I've worn his advice on my sleeve ever since... Lmfao you already think I'm insane, no sense in wasting even a single thought on what you think.. 🖤

Apparently, the Nazis had a flat-earth-like theory that even Hitler believed in. It's called the Cosmic Ice theory and it's a ton of pseudo-scientific bullshit the Nazis were pushing just because they thought mainstream actual science was "too jewish".

Some good concepts but they are basically the car world's version of Apple making everything very proprietary and difficult to repair and charging way too much for simple technologies And similar to Apple they have basically figured out two or three products that are sort of their niche and everything else they ever try to make or release ends up crashing and burning

Nikola or the EV company??? Nikola, amazing genius inventor. From what I read he was really dedicated to his craft and worked quite a bit. But we wouldn't have what we have today if it wasn't for him. EV, respect for pushing electric vehicles but they have way too many issues and have a rather toxic fanbase that won't take any criticism. I would not be interested in a Tesla EV in today's market.

People say Musk is a Nazi. Well Hitler helped get the Volkswagen Beetle going, and those are some comfy (kamphfy even) cars. And Ford was saying some shit you’d get banned from Reddit from too, and he made the Model T. So really being a secret racist is just proof the Cybertruck will be a good car and I should still get one. Plus he hasn’t genocided anyone yet, at least not an industrial scale and deliberately, so, you know, now’s the time to buy it, before it’s REALLY problematic.

I work for a automobile company and customers always call in and ask why haven’t we given them a quote for the vehicle they’re selling, and the main reason why we wouldn’t have an offer for them is because our appraisal team sometimes can be backed up and behind. It’s annoying for us sells agents because we have to deal with rude and impatient customers who are angry at us for something we can’t control because we’re not appraisers.

Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna Raybourn. The protagonists are in their sixties. By the Sword, Mercedes Lackey -the novel begins when the protagonist is a young adult, but most of the book takes place years later when she commands a mercenary company. Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree. I don't recall an age being specified, but the protagonist is retiring from the adventuring life to open a coffee shop. She feels older than thirty. The Bloodsworn books by John Gwynne. This is iffier: epic Norse inspired fantasy, multiple pov's. One of the three main characters is a woman looking for her ten year old son. She fits, for sure, but her story is only a third or so of the tale.

Behind The Throne by K.B. Wagers. It's a trilogy. Love this very strong woman (late thirties). But the love of her life gets killed in the first chapter so no romance, just lots of skullduggery. *Hail Bristol has made a name for herself as one of the most fearsome gunrunners in the galaxy. But she can't escape her past forever: Twenty years ago, she was a runaway princess of the Indranan Empire. Now, her mother's people have finally come to bring her home.*

Wool by Hugh Howey. Sci fi story about a community living in an underground silo because the outside world is poison. All knowledge of what came before the silo, which goes back many generations, is gone and asking questions is punishable by being sent outside. Currently a TV series that just started and is so far very good. Protagonists age isn't specified that I recall but 30 to 40 sounds right. She is being played in the show by 39 yr old Rebecca Ferguson.

While the rest of the series don't necessarily focus on the women over 30, Lois McMaster Bujold's *Shards of Honor* and *Barrayar* (as well as some of the books much later in the series--these are the first two books of her Vorkosigan series) are sci fi and have a woman over 30 as their protagonist, as does her *Paladin of Souls* (which is fantasy and is the second or third, depending on how you choose to approach it, book in a different series--so for that one, you may wish to read *Curse of Chalion* first, even though the protagonist of that one is a man in his 30s).

The horror novel "Mary; An Awakening of Terror" by Nat Cassidy was born out of an interest in what Stephen King's Carrie would have been like, had she lived to adulthood. The protagonist is a meek and repressed middle-aged woman, who returns to her shitty hometown to take care of the abusive aunt who raised her. Then things get weird. Actually, the majority of the characters in the book are middle aged women or older, now that I think about it.

I read a lot of sci-fi. Bourne by Jeff Vandermeer is one of my favorite books from the past few years. The narrator is in her mid 30’s. Annihilation also features a female protagonist in her 30’s. The first in the series was the best, but books 2 and 3 are worth reading. William Gibson’s most recent books have female leads, The Peripheral (late 20’s) and Agency (mid 30’s). They’re some of his best works and definitely not YA. He tends to write multiple POV characters with at least one female protagonist in her 30’s or older.

The In Death series by JD Robb (Nora Roberts’ other pen name). At the start of the series, the main character (Eve) is like 28, but the series has like 50+ books in it, and so after the first few books Eve is in her thirties. It’s set in an alternate future, and Eve Dallas is one of the top homicide cops in NYC. The murders are pretty creative, but the great characters is what makes this series so popular. The All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. I’m pretty sure the main character Diana is over 30, but not 100%. These books are what the tv series A Discovery of Witches was based on. They’re fantastic. *The Order of the Sanguines series by James Rollins and Rebecca Cantrell. Ok, so technically the MC Erin is only 27-29 when the books take place, but they’re so freaking good! You should really give them a try, they’re horror/thrillers with a ton of mystery. They’re like Indiana Jones, Blade, and the Da Vinci code all rolled into one. Easily the best vampire books I’ve ever read, even better than Anne Rice. The first book in the series, The Blood Gospel, is probably my all time favorite book.

Louis XVI was said to consume a large amount of champagne at breakfast. I'm actually not entirely sure about the credibility of this one, but if the poor man was consistently hungover, then it is obvious why he wasn't fond of making huge decisions! In all seriousness, Marie-Antoinette's habit of going partying well into the early hours of the morning in Paris led to many courtiers spreading rumours of sexual deviancy which in turn trickled down to the peasantry. This was one of the seeds sown for the Revolution.

In my late teens, I was working in a mall and wheeling around a huge cart full of trash bags. A man in his late 20's looked at me sympathetically and said, "Come on dude, you gotta go to college." So I did. I've spent my last year teaching in a high school. I'll never forget that man.

Instantly! Management makes a world of difference. My current manager is so chill and views me as a human. I am so fortunate. My last job was hell.
