Kobo works fantastic.
If you have the ability, set up calibre and calibre-web and you can configure your Kobo to use your ebook library as the “store”.
Kobo also has at least one plugin/mod that replaces the whole reading UI with one with more features. Check out KOReader for that.
Apart from that, though, it makes little difference what ebook you get. If it allows you to load your own ebook files on manually (afaik they all do), you can do whatever you want.
And then, surprise! It’s a UK company so they artificially put it at the TOP of the alphabetical list, but you didn’t notice it before you scrolled everywhere else first.
In places with marginal tax brackets, no. The numbers are different where I live, but the principle (hah) is the same:
If you earn 291k a year, the first 191k is taxed at 24%. The money left over (100k) gets taxed at 32%. So if you get a raise or bonus, the “tax problem” is only that your extra money is immediately taxed at 32%.
I know people who still repeat the line that earning more money will push them into a higher tax bracket and they’d end up with less money than if they stayed at their current income.
And if it’s not a clean kill, the rodent can scratch and bite and give the snake an infection or a missing eye.
There’s no good reason to feed live prey if the animal will accept frozen.
I’m spending way too much time thinking about how the collar and leash work.
“We should have gotten more feedback before…” is one of Sony’s corporate values.
I wasn’t ready quite yet so I put them in a bag in the freezer.
The bag got so full I had to move to a bigger bag.
My freezer is half full of brown, frozen bananas.
I don’t even like banana bread. Help.
If it was only Spirit I’d assume the gunfire came from inside the plane.
Funny how companies are always “planning” to do the right thing when the media notices them doing the wrong thing for a long time and asking about it.
Oh my god! Elon is Zorg! How did I never see that?!
People say this all the time and it’s nonsense. The amount of delta V required is too large. Just launch them far enough to leave earth’s orbit and after that who cares? Russell’s Teapot becomes Russell’s Billionaire and everything goes back to normal.
Everything will be fine unless someone shows him an active torrent of The Apprentice and explains he doesn’t get paid residuals if people watch it that way.
Being the best you can be implies resisting temptation for junk foods. He liked his tattoo but the second he was tempted, the tattoo’s advice went out the window. He either covered it up to hide other people from seeing it while he eats a donut, or he’s hiding the tattoo itself from seeing and judging him.
I had to read it like 5 times because I thought there was a dirty undertone.
I looked into this a while back and gave up.
I didn’t find any (good) models I wouldn’t have to pay for, but some of the paid STL sites had sets available for really reasonable prices, so that wasn’t really a blocker.
But FDM is basically incapable of printing any interesting models. Even if you’re printing good layers, most interesting models aren’t geometrically compatible with how an FDM model prints. You can print with supports, but removing supports from such thin, fragile bits of a model is nigh impossible without doing damage.
I went as far as shopping around for a resin printer, but I didn’t like all the ventilation cautions I read. Adding a printer is one thing, but having a well ventilated area that overlaps with where I’d want a printer was an unsolveable problem in my home.
If you just want to give it a try, grab a model off Thingiverse and see how your printer does. If you can get a piece you’d be happy to proceed with painting, that might be worth a few more iterations to see if it’s workable for your setup.
Now that reminds me of a story my dad told me once. In like the 70s he went on a road trip with a few friends and they ended up driving to Mexico and had to stop for the night because it was pitch black and they didn’t know where they were.
So they pulled over on a dead quiet road and set up the car to sleep in it. They didn’t have much food but saw mango’s growing in trees right along the road. They thought it was weird there was so much fruit growing at the side of the road when it wasn’t a farm or orchard or anything. It was delicious and free.
The next morning they had proper light and thought they’d have a couple more mangos before heading out. As soon as they cut into it they saw it was TEEMING with wriggling little bugs all inside the fruit. In the dark they didn’t see nor feel the bugs.
They did not eat more mangos that morning.
Cops. The ones who can’t do drugs as a rule of their employment.
Yeah, I’m sure they have all kinds of useful insights about drugs. I’ll tune into their podcast as soon as I finished the one from the Catholic priests talking about how sex and marriage work.
It’s the same picture.
