Start with your local library. Mine lends tens of thousands of ebooks. It also has partnerships with other local libraries in the region that allow me to borrow from their collections as well.

I don’t think there is such a thing as inter-library loans for ebooks but you should be able to borrow from pretty much any library in the country if you are willing to wait for a paper copy to be shipped to your local branch. There may or may not be a fee associated with this but my local library allows me ten ILL requests a year for free.

Libraries are such an underrated and underutilized resource.

Maoism <> Marxism.

So, yes, you are off-topic.

Not an accountant, but maybe they have expense them differently or across a different time frame depending on utilization.

While I completely agree with you, they have better lawyers and deeper pockets, so don’t be surprised if they somehow have it both ways.

Why would those colleges admit them? Any college worth attending already has more than enough qualified applicants.

I finally dropped YoutubeTV for the summer months because we are seldom watching tv over the summer, choosing to spend more time outside. I haven’t missed it at all. They’ll probably get me back next month when college football starts again but I’m leaning pretty hard towards dropping it again after the new year. The price increase, even though it hadn’t kicked in for me at the time was absolutely the catalyst.

I do too and it works great. Unfortunately, I tend to be on my iPad in the evenings or early mornings, so I get stymied.

Fine. I will not be forgiving them for the apple pies. Ever.

Oh come on. Who actually uses their phone to make calls? Muscle memory. As if.

Forgetting where we are for a minute, if you’re willing to throw your local PBS station a fiver every month, you’ll help keep these programs available for those who can’t afford to pay (or can’t even afford a computer) and get online access to all the adult PBS shows through their app.

Some of us old timers remember the bad old days when a CD with two songs you actually liked cost $17.99 (about $35-40 in today’s dollars). As bad as Spotify and others are it sure beats what we had before.

I bought a mouse poison that works on the same principle. Mice eat the dry pellets and it dehydrates them. Apparently, they don’t have a similar thirst mechanism as humans. I have found a dead one in my garage, so it does seem to work.

When I lived in Phoenix, dehydration really was an hour by hour issue. Aside from people spending long periods of time in extreme conditions, you are correct though. If you spend your days in an air conditioned home or office, 8 glasses a day is probably excessive. If you are going to drink that much, make sure you are replenishing your electrolytes too. A typical highly processed American diet is probably sufficient though.

If the largest ad network on the planet were regularly getting peoples devices pwned just by watching a video, that would be front page news everywhere. Like even the cover of Rachel Ray magazine.

In the US they are a legal requirement now. I think starting with the 2019 model year.

The sweet spot lies somewhere between 360p and 4k HDR. Individual tastes vary.

I agree that even small streets can be pedestrian hostile. I live off of a road where most homes were originally .5-1 acre lots built in the early 1960s. Few of the original houses remain unchanged. Most have either been subdivided to build infill homes or torn down to build even more homes (think 3 or 4 SFH replacing 1).

The street design remains unchanged. Two lanes with no sidewalks and drainage ditches on either side of the road. The road is signed 25 mph but most drivers go 35-40 since it is straight and unimpeded for almost half a mile. Pedestrians must either walk in the street and hope drivers go around them or cross the road multiple times to find a flat surface not at the bottom of a 3 foot deep ditch. Since the city considers the road to be an important connector, they refuse to install speed bumps or other traffic calming. There has been a plan to build sidewalks for almost 25 years but it keeps getting pushed back since the project will require burying utilities, tons of fill dirt, and a rebuild of a bridge over a small creek.

You don’t have downvotes? I’m using Wefwef and the downvotes are listed under the three dots to the right of the post.

Devries was consistent. Not the kind of consistent a team wants though.

I hope ND gets another shot someday but glad to see DR is back behind the wheel.

I honestly don’t think that, with this car, on this track, McLaren’s tire choice made much difference. They were simply quick no matter the rubber.

I’m anxious to see what they can do on a less favorable track.
