Yeah I looked into the Kobo store and a LOT of the books I have - which are not exactly small titles - aren’t available there.

In some cases they’ve got the first couple books or audiobooks out of a series that currently has 10

The color might make more sense if you’re into manga or graphical novels as opposed to just ebooks

This doesn’t track.

To pull my books into calibre, I need to first download them onto the Kindle, which requires wifi.

Had this years ago except it was a dumbass contractor where I worked who left a Windows server with FTP services exposed to the Internet and IIRC anonymous FTP enabled, on a Friday.

When I came in on Monday it had become a repository for warez, malware, and questionable porn. We wiped out rather than trying to recover anything.

The VCow goes moooooooo

It’s a Venti low-whip triple-curler with nuts on top

Not really surprising that short video clips would be used to target people with lower critical-thinking skills and attention spans

You could also just put it on the old MacBook…

Found Elon’s Lemmy account…

Yeah, going from “Google Play Music” to “YouTube Music” was such a downgrade. Shit like Bluetooth had more issues with YTM, and they completely eliminated the ability to purchase music. It sucks and there are still no good alternatives on Android :-(

My mental voice for that is Vladislav from Among the Shadows

So basically, no good billionaires but maybe good former-billionaires?

Except at some point he would have been between the two - an active billionaire giving away his wealth - and presumably still a good person.

Fixed fine on a sliding scale for repeat offenders

Hydroelectric is great where it is available, but it’s again limited by landscape and other factors in use

Night? Longer periods of cloudy days or storms?

You’re not LOSING anything if it’s capturing already excess energy, which would by its nature be lost if not used at the time of generation

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this feels like a good place for Hydrogen power to step in.

One of the oft repeated concerns is that generating hydrogen to power vehicles the takes a lot of energy, which often comes from dirty sources.

One of the oft repeated issues for solar (or wind etc) is that it’s available at certain times and not in and of itself storable or transportable, so excess is lost.

So, take the excess solar energy, produce hydrogen and store for off-peak times or to distribute.

Seems like a win to me.

I’ll add to that: The PlayStation etc scalpers at least give you a still-new product at the inflated price. The landlords rent it out for additional income and THEN sell it at a profit.

So it’s more like buying a PS5 for $500, having somebody rent to play it for $100/mo, then selling it for $800 after a year

I dunno, I know plenty who fish as part of a general interest in outdoorsy stuff and their actually in pretty decent shape.

I think part of the fishing issue is that I don’t know so many women who actually have as much interest in such as guys, but I do know a lot of guys who don’t do have a lot of interests outside of hunting, fishing, and camping. Cool if you’re into that, but continual weekend trips involving tramping through damp bush to shoot and then skin Bambi, tenting in a mosquito swarm, and hours in a boat plus gutting fish isn’t exactly great dating for many (even if the guy did look like Chris Evans).

Oh hell yeah. I wouldn’t trust an SDCard to anything important except maybe a Pi where the actual OS is fairly unimportant and the data is stored elsewhere.

I had been wondering about the G series Ryzen. Is this running in a standard tower or something rackable?
