I'm guessing most of the Beehaws at least have duplicates since they cut themselves off.

Damn I gotta stop ignoring the depression then...

Do you have the ability to request new books in your library so that that way you could get things you are into? There's also always shadow libraries.

Dude I had no idea implants for chickens existed that's insane. If I ever got chickens we would be matching.

You're probably right - the inflation rates were low for a long time so to get that high from indexation on a 100k loan would be pretty unlikely.

I've used the 2720 and it's pretty good. Battery life will be nothing like the old days since it has 4G to contend with. Call quality and hotspot if necessary is decent but is a battery drain. The camera, like most dumbphones, is practically useless. How you like it will depend on whether you like KaiOS, but for the most part it functions fairly well.

Heresy but I'd eat them if I had rescue hens that weren't interested in eating them. Would probably feed them back their shells though.

Probably medical degrees etc. However, if I were to do a masters in CS it would be 70k so my total debt would be up to something like 110k. Thus, if I do a masters it will be a cheap US-based one I can cashflow because that's just a stupid amount of debt.

Yeah I assume the reason there isn't is because the general ones are US-centric by default and then everyone else has to have somewhere specific to go. But I guess if they want their own dedicated place too why not?

I use it primarily as a recipe book since markdown does that format pretty well.

I'm lucky my brother and a couple of friends are on a similar journey and go to the same gym at the moment. On the grind as soon as I get back from Thailand (Thai food is too good to calorie count.)

What books/comics/mangas etc. Did you read in June?

 

Britons’ trust in politics has fallen significantly since Covid, report finds.

Can't say I'm shocked.

Adventures in Science Fiction Cover Art (sciencefictionruminations.com)
 

Do you think prizes dedicated to certain groups remain useful? Is this prize something you'll be paying attention to or is your TBR pile already full?

 

The WoK was a 5 star read for me, WoR a 3 star and now I'm struggling to get properly into Oathbringer. I think I'm on chapter 10. Anyone else have this problem? Does it get more interesting or am I just not a Sanderson person?

 

Sometimes a post will say on Jerboa that there is one comment but on the post none is visible. Is this a problem with Jerboa? Is it because the commenter may not be federated with my instance? Or is it a problem with Lemmy?

 

I just finished L'Âge des low-tech by Philippe Bihouix and am currently reading The Harlem Rennaisance by Cary D. Wintz which I picked up at a hostel.

Asking non-Americans to pay in USD (self.mildlyinfuriating)
 

Currently in Egypt and they just asked us to pay in USD cash for an added activity but, not being American, we don't have USD. We have the local currency and the ability to get that out at ATMs, but no way to access foreign currency. So annoying but they accepted local in the end.

 

How would you like to see this place differ from Reddit/TikTok/YouTube etc. as a place to talk about books?
