Ooh I may actually have anecdotal evidence as to why.

The pest control man was here yesterday and when I stepped outside to run an errand I could hear him listening to conservative talk radio over his phone speaker.

My theory is that a lot of these guys are right leaning, using Amazon’s streaming platform at work, and ordering supplies through Prime. So the algorithm took a gamble with you and lost.

I read the Robot/Foundation series in the order that Asimov recommended after watching the Foundation TV series.

Agree with the other posters here, if you liked what you already read, you’ll probably enjoy the rest. It’s an interesting set of stories that take centuries to complete with completely new characters in each book. My wife’s take is that they’re good in that they were some of the first popular operatic Sci Fi available.

After working in desktop support for a year after college, I realized that people just wanted their problem solved and to not feel frustrated. That realization made my job immensely easier because I pivoted from copying a file in 30 seconds and walking away to talking to them a little bit and letting them feel good after we were done. My ticket closing speed slowed down a little but people felt better and I consistently got positive feedback.
