I don’t love that they stop working when your sub expires (unlike audible) but that price does have me really tempted.

Audible costs me about 12CAD/book

Libro seems to only cost 20CAD/book which is a significant hike but it’s not as bad as buying the books outright which costs 30-40$ which is simply too much for me to afford. I’ll probably switch when I run out of ausible credits thanks for the rec!

I think one of the bigger problems with amazon is that it replaces so many different sectors all at once. I don’t think any one single replacement is really solving the problem, furthermore I don’t think an internationally relevant replacement for any one sector is that great either.

I guess the most recent amazon temptation was a utility cabinet, I found a nice one on amazon, but then searched and found an equivalent one from Canadian tire.

The hardest thing for me to break is audio books. I use the library but I find it rarely has what I want in stock, I have tried piracy but I can’t find a good tracker for audio books and I like supporting authors when I can. Audible is really cheap compared to every store front, especially when buying credits in bulk.

Laci green used to be a women’s health feminist youtuber. Made a video titled “i took the red pill” and immediately lost 90% of her views followed by the channel dying within 10 videos.

I buy a Costco box of all spice and store them all over the place (bathroom, bedroom, my backpack, my wfh desk, gym bag, etc) I dont pay attention at all to the scent they all smell the same to me.

I have a professional advantage in being a windows power user. Only way of maintaining that is running windows at home. I do have several Linux systems too.

the top stairs could have been added later, why demolish the old stairs if you don’t have to.

Powertoys is basically all the things the engineers internally couldn’t stand not having but the business won’t allow to be officially integrated.

My mom is liberal enough, but my brother fell down the pipeline. He recently tried to convince my mom i was brainwashed to be a LGBTQ Muslim extremist by my wife (note, I am a man, and my wife is an ex-muslim whose sect is persecuted by Muslim extremists) and he made 51st state memes on canada day. I don’t really know what to do, I just try not to be alone with him.

You aren’t using this meme correctly

I had ai write a python script for me that checked a directory for zip/rar files that don’t also have video files, unzip them and if it fails retry at a doubling interval. It would have taken me an hour or so, took the ai 5min+15min of me fixing it. I also had it add logging which is definitely something I wouldn’t have been arsed to add otherwise.

It isnt very helpful at my day job writing professional code though, and I dont think someone who didn’t already know how to do it themselves could make use of it.

Spending an entire loop with chert is a truly marvelous experience, going through the stages of grief together.

Although for an ambient time, catching the probe and watching

takes the cake for my favourite bit of ambiance

In highschool I was popular in the literal sense, that I was well liked by most. I was a nerd by the hollywood definition. Middleschool was hell

As a Canadian I would consider someone that doesn’t apologize to be a little rude, even if they have nothing to do with the event, but our definition of sorry is a bit different than other english speakers.

I have about 60TB of storage on my Media server that I use for plex (I would recommend jellyfin for new users, but I have a lifetime premium). Now I would never pirate but if I did there’s Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr and Jackett to make that all a click and go situation.

Where I live these have taken over and I’ve never seen a broken one

I genuinely don’t know I have never heard it

The reason it’s de facto mandatory is due to some in house extensions, assuming they work with this I could, but I also don’t particularly care about my privacy on a work machine. But I will be checking this out for my personal stuff!

In VSCode (yeah yeah MS bad, I have to use it for work) it puts a yellow box around the charcater, which I don’t immediately recognize the meaning of and highlights the line as “identifier “blah;” is undefined”. It’s not like your gunna spend all day on it, but that could waste a couple minutes if the dev wasn’t paying close attention, which is “fun prank” territory.

No actually I’m talking about Tom Sott, the variety reporter style content and a signature red shirt. Just checked out Joe scott he seems pretty cool
