You never know… There was this tale of a neon sign that stayed plugged in inside a wall for something like 40 years and that was only discovered when they tore the place down.

This is how I feel. But I’ve had enough. I’m seriously considering leaving the field, it doesn’t bring me joy anymore. I think there are blue collar jobs that aren’t too hard on your body that have some of the elements we enjoy in SE while

I disagree on that point, I think it’s totally possible to live healthily without eating anything that comes from an animal.

Yes that’s a different story. I was talking about my own use case which is EPUBs that are typically a couple MB per book.

I can’t remember :( the arm is a generic phone holder arm with a spring loaded clamp that pushes down the top and bottom of the device. The page turner was one of these keyboard smash brands. Searching for “ebook wireless page turner” yield

On most (all?) kobos, you can also upgrade the storage to whatever you want because it’s a microsd card slotted into the board. Just copy the system partition over to the new sd, expand, done. Mind you, I never needed to do it because 4 or

FWIW, we bought an arm to hold the kobo up while we’re reading (one of those smartphone holder things, they’re a dime a dozen) and a little device that clips onto the kobo. It comes with a remote, and you can turn the pages with it by makin

Doesn’t have to be this way though. We’re not obligate carnivores, you can eat no animal product for decades and be just fine.

That’s one of the reasons why many of us refuse to eat them (or any other animal)

Or maybe it’s written by someone who has a larger vocabulary and knows when to use a semicolon? Trying to guess whether something was written by AI or not is, to me, akin to reading tea leaves. Furthermore, I don’t think there is a reliably

What got me was the kindle’s inability to not have ragged edges on the right. It’s really not that hard to implement I’d assume, LaTeX and the kobo do it well. Switched to kobo + calibre years ago, never looked back. Also, I try my best not

If you work for someone else and carry out your tasks as instructed, and have tried to bring up the absurdity of it all as specced but they insist you do it anyway then I don’t see what would be unethical about it? Only talking about brain

Same here. Sleep tracking is mediocre at best. Some nights I’ve spent hours wide awake but lying down, the watch thinks I was awake for 20 min. Or when I wake up in the morning and read a book or scroll the phone to not wake anyone else up,

Yes but you’re not asked to make it a line item and choose which client it will be billed to.

Same problem here. It doesn’t get better in my experience, the more you stay away the less you want to go back in. Over the last 15 years I estime I’ve worked 50% overall. This time I haven’t been working for over 2 years.

I wish I could sleep without a pillow but my nose completely clogs if I do. And that’s after surgery to remove a very small part of the bone in my nostrils to widen the passage. The mucosa inside my nose just swells too much and clogs my no
