Someone losing copyright of their book doesn't necessarily mean they're going to write more. A vast majority of published writers cannot live off of a single book (a lot can't from multiples). It's actually incredibly hard to make a living off writing.

I feel that choice paralysis a lot. My reading moods fluctuate, so sometimes I want to read one genre or sometimes another, but I also have a massive TBR so I struggle determining what book I should read. I've learned to just let myself start something, and if it doesn't work out, then I can stop and maybe pick it back up later. For instance, I just finished Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence, a book that I had tried to read three times prior. This was the first time my interest stuck, and now I am finishing the trilogy. But getting over that initial hurdle of "what should I read" can be difficult.

There is one for web site developers. You are meant to follow guidelines proposed by the WCAG and ADA.

I think you might have responded to the wrong comment, but yeah, I like those- but only the chips, not the full dill

Sometimes I put a tiny bit of mustard on an Oreo to have a sweet and tangy snack.

I just fled the South. No one in my family understands why. They tell me nothing bad will happen; I am overreacting. Nah, fam. I see the writing on the wall. I'm out. It took three years of my savings, but I couldn't handle it. Good luck to you. I wish you all the best and hope you can move soon!

This looks dope! I don't know if I have the space for it right now (renter so can't change the outside too much, plus most of it is not usable), but I'm bookmarking this for if/when I buy a house. I actually might talk to my wife and decide if we should do a small growing bed for tomatoes or peppers.

I don't really eat meat. The thing that gets me are the vegetables. If I want anything fresh, it costs so much more than canned or frozen. Frozen/canned veggies are fine for some meals, but for others they can really taste a bit off. We just moved and I'm hoping there are some good farmer's markets around where I live now with decent prices (the place I moved from were worse than the grocery store).

I figured. I got to the part where they captured a woman and she sort of starved to death. They weren't doing anything evil intentionally; she was completely foreign to their way of life. I assumed the ending would revolve around learning from each other or cohabitation - some type of mutual respect. Maybe not. I'll get back into it. I have the audiobook on my waitlist for the library.

I'm a normie and I get it. Surely there are more than just the tech people capable of understanding how the system works. It can be a bit confusing at first, but all that is needed is a really good guide explaining how to use the fediverse.

Well, X-Men has already been compared to the experiences of the LGBTQ+ community so really they should already be upset at them.

That's a good idea.
