I stopped using Calibre because it turned out to be more annoying than simply emailing an epub to my designated kindle address. I've never had anything removed. Most of the content comes from libgen.

If you don't mind my asking, what about the experience was so bad? Did it take time or work to process the experience for it to have its beneficial effect?

I'm not sure the intention here but in an addition to being an outstanding project it's also a hideous indictment of 21st century transportation. So much life lost as a result of apes clumsily manoeuvring heaps of metal across pai

I’m AI stupid. Does anyone know if training on multiple languages provides “cross-over” — so training done in German can be utilized when answering a prompt in English? I once went through various Wikipedia articles in a couple languages an

I’m not implying causation here but I was surprised to see such a big smoking culture when I visited Japan. A lot of establishments have designated smoking rooms that are kinda cool and chic, with sliding glass doors and a motley crowd — yo

Beethoven wrote a letter to his brothers that he never sent but it’s often referred to as a suicide note. It’s interesting — apparently he hid his bad hearing for a long time and considered it a humiliation. From the letter it also sounds l

In the early 2000s one of my friends bought TV B Gone which was basically a universal tv remote with an off button. We had a lot of fun confusing the hell out of family and friends who were trying to peacefully enjoy their show. We also had

There will be a lot of great, award-winning things — art, tech, law, theory — produced using AI, with varying degrees of involvement. Some we know for certain will have been produced using AI, others we will not. If the end product is someh

I’m a thirty-something with an arts degree who decided to learn math. Basically I was tired of reading popular science and being fed metaphors to understand concepts. I wanted to “see” it for myself. I spent time online at Khan Academy and

I’ve never watched tentacle porn (I don’t watch much of any porn for that matter) but I’m sure like anything else I could acquire an affection for it! I suspect it’s probably not so healthy to recoil in horror at anything outside your comfo

This still works and is a somewhat common practice, especially for something like a skip link. Try pressing tab on some of your favorite websites you might find they use this technique. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US&#x

You can’t blame the guy?! What blame is there to find in being successful? What “trick” is there in adhering to a successful marketing strategy?

Not to mention the clear preference here for comments that summarize an article to avoid actually reading it. Or poison the well sufficiently for a person to say “oh well I already know what it says”.

My complaint is that it was boring, not that it wasn't storybook -- although come on the scenes with Einstein (and many others) were terribly storybook.

It’s still true to say the movie lacked a cohesive story — it may have been “about the man” but it was an incoherent battery of spoken facts rather than a personal journey with growth and progression.

That’s an insane command to pass to an untrained person on a piece of paper to type into the terminal of a production server.
