I don’t know if you can play games on this, but I know you definitely won’t want to.

We use liters for soft drinks and liquor, but gallons for fuel, milk, and water. For recipes we use fluid ounces or cups since gallons are kind of a large for that.

It’s actually a mixed system, similar to the UK but with less metric in the mix.

I’d argue that Skyrim represents a significant downgrade from earlier titles. The simplified mechanics and increased advertising budget made it more accessible, but the writing quality has been in free fall since morrowind.

That being said, this is probably their prettiest title now. I haven’t gotten to try it yet, but supposedly it is a ground up remake, and if it’s on a better engine it may be their least janky game too.

My family have something similar going on, they’re 18 and 46.

We’re all politely ignoring it because their parents think trying to forbid it will make it more attractive.

No, although this is a fringe belief among some fringe sects.

That just means they need a sex room to experiment in.

England. I got blind drunk and was stumbling back to a hotel in a western suburb. A group of young men with knives approached me for cash but when I told them to fuck off (not smart, I know) they were so excited to hear my accent they walked me a couple of blocks to the bus station and sent me on my way.

I disagree that there is any way to do it. Ultimately, people don’t want you there and are unhappy enough that they’re willing to die rather than cooperate. It is simply too expensive in terms of man hours, lives, and money to keep a population under occupation like that. At the very least, you need to do as the colonial powers did and exploit a local division to deputize some of the locals to rule on your behalf.

Yes, they win most of them. They mostly lose when they try to occupy a foreign country and do counterinsurgency.

They eat crops and are considered a disease vector here. They can also damage your home by trying to build a nest inside a wall or something.

The little bastards are still so ugly they’re cute though.

It would be very useful to people who don’t consume multimedia, especially writers and certain types of hobbyists and office workers.

I generally read moderately niche fiction titles and they’re all there, but I am monolingual so everything is in English.

Iirc kindle books come with DRM, which you can break using a calibre plugin.

Honestly downloading books from libgen is so much easier I don’t think I’ve bought a kindle book in 10 years.

Respectfully, I disagree. I struggle to think of candidates more milquetoast than Biden and Harris of all people.

I think the problem is that we have no progressives. The right moves things right, the center does nothing, and there is no left.

Your core supposition is wrong, basically everyone is mad about the state of our country. We just have several different ideas on how to fix it and two parties who are dedicated to making it worse.

The pocketbook is the best I know of on the market right now. I have one (bought it a few months back) and it is exactly what was advertised.

In comparison to most of Europe, America is very unsafe, gun ownership is much higher, and mental healthcare is a joke.

This means that you do not engage in a dispute with a stranger because they might be unhinged and just kill you over a parking space or who gets to merge first in traffic or whatever.

I’m very surprised the top answer isn’t pocketbook. Their entire business model is reworking Chinese e ink tablets to make them GDPR compliant and privacy respecting. I’d recommend the pocketbook verse pro if you want a lit screen and USB C, but they have a cheaper model without those features.

Here is a good spec comparison table for ereaders in general. I’d point out basically all e-readers have great battery life.

I don’t know how common they actually are, but they should be fairly accessible. Most insurance plans provide them free or at a heavy discount.

Hot take, but your local community matters infinitely more than the construction of your house. Build somewhere you have neighbors yoh get along with who will stick their neck out for you.

That being said, you can do the following:

• Plant/build near large trees to cover from satellite/aerial photography

• run conduit throughout so you don’t have to rely on wireless networking

• install security cameras that feed somewhere local (I’m assuming nobody who breaks into your house gives enough of a shit to fins and destroy your recordings)

• buy actually good locks, doors, and doorframes. Make sure you’re aware of what to expect from these, they wont actually keep someone out, they just make entrance louder and slightly more cumbersome.

• build a secret sex room for you and your spouse. This is less of a privacy asset, and more just a fun thing to do.
