I really like my Kindle Oasis. Picked it up eBay, looks like a lot of them are over $100, but you can check a few times and sort by price. Try doing some bidding or making an offer. Might take a little bit to find one, but it's a good one. 6 or 7 inch screen, really consistent backlighting, and you can message support and they'll just remove ads for you.

It's the strategy of naming your cult "The Being Good and Correct Movement" in order to mask your unhinged beliefs as sensible.

Yeah, their whole thing is just creep shit.

The upcoming "replacements" are the Artemis IV lunar space station and a bunch of proposals from different private companies who all want to be landlords of a future space station. All of these, including Artemis IV are in the "artist interpretation only" CGI picture phase, are attached to projects plagued by delays and problems, and set to launch "no sooner than" the end of 2028. Very likely, none of these will ever get off the ground.

The only project beyond this stage is the private Axiom Station, an upcoming series of modules set to launch to the ISS to allow corporate astronauts to live and work on the ISS, then detach and become a private leave-behind when the ISS deorbits. Fucking grim.

The West's only functional space station is said to be going to be decommissioned in the next few decades at some point too.

Try less than a decade. Decommissioning is currently set for 2031.

If your brother wants to get paid for caretaking, that's between him and Medicare/Medicaid, not you or your father's estate. $3000/month is an ambitious figure and I'm sure he'll have a lot of fun trying to get them to pay retroactively. Might be a good time for you or your sister to get Power of Attorney.

The whole eggs/fertility thing is really based on a huge (and largely deliberate) misunderstanding of reproductive biology and how ovarian follicles work and die. You're essentially at peak fertility at 30, most of the eggs die off before age 5.

Absolutely correct. The reality is that the money they're referring to was straight-up stolen from random civilians. Any time they say something wasn't paid for by tax payers, that means it was funded entirely by civil asset forfeiture.

We were able to purchase this equipment by pulling from different funding sources which avoided any direct cost to our taxpayers.

Uh huh, and exactly what might those sources be? It wouldn't happen to be from bribes, would it? Or maybe civil asset forfeiture?

I get a ton of nostalgia for PWA Moderne and WPA Rustic style architecture.

They just look nice!

It seems like they're all really expensive, with most halfway decent ones being over $1000. It also seems like they're really finicky and hard to get working consistently.

Are there any 3d printers that are actually a refined product, something you can just get and start using? I don't want to spend most of my time fiddling with the settings and having to buy a ton of upgrades in the hopes of getting it to be a functional machine that can actually be used to print out parts.

If there are any out there that are basically self-maintaining or highly automated in terms of configuring themselves correctly, is it only the really expensive ones, or are there more affordable sort of "get and forget" printers that you can just set up and start using?

Consider the RSI-prone gamer. I would like to have healthy hands and wrists in older age and still use the computer.

 

Looking for a matching set (brand/aesthetic wise) of a mechanical keyboard and mouse for gaming that:

  • Isn't super tacky or coated in branding

  • Has a detachable usb c cable (sick of mini-usb and I will never be okay with a fixed cable on a keyboard)

  • Has build quality that's actually halfway decent

  • Isn't ludicrously expensive

  • Is compatible with something like Artemis RGB or Aurora RGB for aRGB game integration (my little crow brain likes when the blinky gamer lights change colors when I reload and stuff in games)

I don't know if I'm just bad at researching this sort of thing but it really seems like all the options out there only meet one or two of these requirements at best. Is this just the state of the market when it comes to these things? Do I need to build a custom keyboard?

 

They're not even doing refunds or recalls, they're just giving people 2 free months of the subscription and telling them to only charge the device and the hotswap add-on batteries with the home charger.

This piece of shit has a 4 hour standby time if you're not using the case to recharge the batteries. Literally unusable.

Seriously, I've spent like an hour searching and there appear to be absolutely no used cars in the US or Canada priced at or under $500. In fact, they're not even really close. I can only find a handful of cars under $1000, and they all seem to be parts cars that have major issues that are insurmountable for all but experienced mechanics who happen to have a spare engine laying around.

Am I just searching in the wrong places or what? Where have all the cheap-ass cars gone in this car-mandatory society?
