Finished reading @nealasher.bsky.social 's Dark Diamond the other week, excellent as always. Took me a month to get through though, a chapter every night before dropping the e-reader on my face.

Started on the Nanotech Succession Omnibus Edition from the excellent Linda Nagata.

- Don't, you'll be bankrupt in a year.
- Unless you bought the place 40 years ago, no dice.
- Do what all immigrant owned places do: launder money.
- Hire only 14-21 year old's, their minimum salary is lower.

Why don't they just change the listed prices? Is that so difficult in the USA?
