Magic's Pawn by Mercedes Lackey. I usually like her books a lot. This one had a lot of promise and I got to the last 30-something pages and...just didn't really care either or what happened to the protagonist.

If it’s for supporting the site, then I’m willing to tolerate a little inconvenience.
How about this... you can only complain about the ads if you've paid to support the site within the past 12 months.If it’s for supporting the site, then I’m willing to tolerate a little inconvenience.

*complains about the ads*
I don't mind them on the desktop version, but on mobile it is literally a pain. If I press submit a huge ad window fills the screen and then I need to find the close button, usually near the top, which ends up refreshing the page (and not actually submitting my post).
On desktop, again, not really a big deal tbh.

No. But I have noticed that the ads at the bottom of the page are quite the mixture of non-sequitar grab-bag of WTF. The ads elsewhere on the page at least make sense in the context of the webpage and my browser history.Gross! Anyone else seeing this earwax removal ad at the bottom?!
Good idea.How about this... you can only complain about the ads if you've paid to support the site within the past 12 months.

My issue is the ones that appear *at random* over the reply box on the desktop version. And then I had a weird pull-down one on mobile that covers my ability to check notifications & messages.

Question for the fine folks of EB.
I must provide backstory/context first.
My best friend (female, lesbian)'s sister's partner (male) bursts into the bathroom while she (sister) is showering and takes a massive dump. They only have 1 bathroom and it does not have ventilation (side note: they live in a yurt in the mid-west). She only showers once a week (farmer) and has started locking the door so she can get an uninterrupted shower. The showers are only 10-15 minutes long
He says that they're in a "unique situation" (meaning 1 shared bathroom) and so it's ok for him to enter to use it.
So she (best friend) asked me about it as I share a small bathroom (smaller than the yurt bathroom) with my boyfriend.
My boyfriend states that if his options were between not shitting his pants and communicating with me about coming in, he's going to burst in to use the bathroom.
She (best friend) doesn't think it's like that sister's partner is in a dire need every time this happens so it seems rude. But she (best friend) has never lived with a male.
So my question is: for folks in similar shared bathroom situations, would you burst into the bathroom to use it while your partner was showering? In both dire & non-dire situations. Would you communicate it prior to entering? Or run in, yanking down yer pants, screaming "I GOTTA GO!"

100%.
Only rude if it's a non-dire situation. I would probably yell "code brown" though.
Usually people know more than a few minutes in advanced that they're going to need to use the facilities. There should normally be enough time to give sufficient time to knock and ask someone showering to finish quickly, then wait for them to leave. So I would fault the BF with violating social protocol.
The only exception, in my mind, is if the need was related to illness and therefore there was no advanced notice or ability to hold it.

Grew up w/ 2 brothers sister and parents in 1 bathroom house. Would usually ask if use was needed before taking shower.
If it is not urgent can wait.

Yeah, I mean anything can happen, but if this is happening more than rarely, then he's just being a dick

I mean, it depends? My family is pretty easy-going with bathroom use while someone is showering? Like, if I'm showering I've had my sister or mother come in and pee.
But someone of a different gender coming in while I'm showering to drop a log without ventilation? Fuck no. Sorry. Unless it's a liquid torrent coming out, no go. They can drink a glass of water and walk around after letting me know I need to finish my shower just a little bit quicker.
