Overdrive (which is Libby) integrates directly into the Kobo OS so you can borrow books directly on the device instead of the roundabout way you have to do it on the Kindle.

It’s basically a documentary about himself

I know this might sound like overkill but I have ear issues so it’s necessary for me.

Tips go in a little dish of 99% iso alcohol. Don’t have to worry about the whole evaporation to water ratio that is often mentioned. Then if there is visible crud I will use a soft textured toothbrush (like for kids, the extra soft kind) and let them air dry (which is very fast because alcohol)

For the rest, a cotton swab dry to remove crud, and then all the parts go into a UV sterilization box (open the lid of the case to make sure the UV gets in there too)

It’s a whole ritual but it keeps me from getting irritated ears.

And yes I have over the ear headphones but I can’t lug those around everywhere all the time like earbuds.

And never ever use soap because it can and will break water surface tension and penetrate barriers like the speaker and microphone grills.

Yeah I’ve actually thought about doing that and making it an office desk calendar or something. Thanks for reminding me!

I sure am glad I got a Kobo for myself for Xmas and ripped all my books to it. Guess I’ll be recycling my Kindle for good.

Well seeing as how Tim was right up there next to Sundar I’m not the least bit surprised.

People in Houston generally drive 30mph above the speed limit anyway so this is just business as usual.

(I hate it by the way. Houston drivers are so incredibly dangerous. It’s absolutely insane.)

Propaganda. Mostly funded by the rich, in order to, of course, stay on the top of the class hierarchy. Easier to be a filthy evil oligarch when the “rabble” just fight each other and don’t pay any attention to you, or worse, kiss your boots.

Pink all the way. Rude to some service worker? Poopy pants. Didn’t return the cart? Poop. Drive like an asshole? Poop. Politician spewing hateful garbage on national television? Oh you bet you’re getting the poopy pants.

I would be The Punisher, only with poop instead of guns.

Yeah that’s probably it. I did play it recently enough that steam would feed me news updates for it.

Yes.

Well, at least the ones in government probably are.

100% This.

So steam has the little update ribbon for games in your library, and recently one popped up for The Outer Worlds in my feed. I thought it was odd since it’s not a new game anymore so I checked it out and it was for some reason just the announcement for Outer Worlds 2. Thought that was odd too since that also happened awhile ago so I went to the discussion thread to see if there was an update to the announcement or something and I got to reading the comments. It was just the most toxic and vile cesspool of comments. Literal mud brained comments like “no woke game, no DEI this time, this game bad because I can’t fuck the asexual brown girl and she should be white anyway because that doesn’t make sense in outer space” and other vile bigoted shit. Like seriously guys? You hated the game so much that you have to spew your ignorant garbage brained thoughts on an announcement thread for the sequel? Fuck me these people are just the absolute sludge at the bottom of the barrel.

I’m all for protesting a game because the company is evil (you know which ones are) but holy hell people, the vast majority of the comments were not that at all. Just fucking go play something else. There are a hundred thousand other choices for any respective genre of game. Please just all of you fuck off.

He’s worse than you think. Way worse.

Well yeah, when they’re just cranking the hog and eating food for the first time, what did they expect?
