You're not intelligent enough to leave me alone, so I don't care.

Oops. Now you are in trouble.

I had to look that up. I never read too many of those.
The problem with series is that they seem to get repetitive after a while. And that is from someone that often buys books because it is a series.
Unfortunately for me I also don't care for humorous or whimsical books either. I like happy endings but I need to be wondering if it will work out that way or not.
Eddy Vluggen wrote: nor intelligent
I am intelligent enough to know that there is a very vast amount of knowledge that I can never learn. Probably at least some of it that I could not understand even if I tried.
I always assume that from everyone that there is probably something that I can learn from them. Seems to be working so far.

I haven't by far read all Pratchett's books, but from all what I read, I didn't find it repetitive.

I only know that I know nothing?

Probably? Something? I am 100% sure that there is always things that we will never understand, noone can know/understand everything.

My father told me something similar but with the goal of treating people respectful "Do not underestimate anyone, even the cleaning guy can teach you how a broom is used properly". So yes, there is always something to learn from anyone. The only challenge is to find it and to see if it is something worth to be learnt or not.

Too late. I believe I read about 4 of them way back when there were far fewer of them.

Not "we", but rather 'me'. When I come across articles (not pop but scientific) on differences in current string theory I try to understand but get lost almost immediately.

What topics would you find sufficiently stimulating to spend time on?
|
|
|
|
|
That's a very insightful question.

|

|

Any topic really. If you find someone who isn't irrational, actually intelligent, and so on... everything becomes interesting. If they're clowns (regardless if they think they're smart) then it's just repetitive diatribe when exploring anything of substance.

OK, but without any indication of interests. It is difficult to judge if selected topics will be engaging enough. So here is a random one from my open list of "things I have come across"
What do you think about the medical use of Phages to treat antibiotic resistant bacteria?
Is it taking medical science back to the age of blood letting or is it a magical cure that only our current level of technology has made practical?

Needing intelligent conversation is why I talk to myself.

An internal combustion engine is in part, a complicated air pump.
Bread is just raw toast
A webserver is a fancy string processing engine.
Sometimes it helps to look at things from a different perspective. In that last case for example, once I looked at my ISAPI applications that way (this was decades ago), I added Boehm's collector to garbage collect the strings and avoid heap fragmentation. It kept my apps from bogging after running for a few days.
Reapproach a problem. Look at it a different way. Get weird. It helps.

Going for lead guitar in an AC/DC cover band so I went and bought an American SG. The neck needs attention, some strings are muted when you bend them, but it's pretty nice. I have two USA guitars, a Tele and now this
I'll pay to get it set up properly, I'll take it in tomorrow. Same place has fixed two other guitars for me, I bought an Epiphone Les Paul and the bridge pickup didn't work, and I have an Ice man and the wiring just fell apart all of a sudden

most of those things are easy to do yourself if you have time 
I have I think 15 guitars myself... 
Hobby ran out of hand
Good luck with the cover band, I love AC/DC, saw them live a few years back.

Just curious but are you playing as Angus or Malcolm/Stevie? They’re definitely my favorite band. Let There Be Rock!

I am always the lead guitarist
