Same here and it’s the only store that is within *biking distance that doesn’t require dodging lifted magat trucks and risking your life to get to. I’m done though.

Reactionary judge in christofascist state sides with corporation…color me surprised

Huge shout-out to Kovid Goyal's Calibre! I've been expanding my use of Calibre for months and finally decided to try out the "Fetch News" functionality this past week. I was floored! I have over 50 news sources that auto-fetch every day. It took me awhile to refine the sources that work, but now I can read all my news natively in Calibre.

I've been working on debugging why some of the news sources fail to fetch to learn more about Calibre and to design my own fetching for custom news sources. But, I'm a programming newb so that will take me awhile

On a related note, another Calibre feature that has helped me organize my life is "Virtual Libraries". I was finally able to separate my library into 3 categories that enable me to stay focused. For me these were:

  1. Hobby Reading
  2. News & Magazines
  3. Study and Resources It takes almost no time at all to set up this functionality.

Thank you Kovid and everyone who contributes to this amazing OS project!

I’m sorry to hear that. I think so many problems stem from the vast differences in quality of care between VA / VBA systems. If you get lucky, it seems amazing. If you are in a bad system, it’s a bureaucratic nightmare.

Typical MS gaslighting and manipulation to subvert meaningful regulation.

Besides the obvious implications… Hawaii would definitely be more expensive than Thailand unless they picked some 5 star hotel in a remote area. Even then it would probably be close. Hawaii is atrociously expensive.

Iowa Speedway in Newton, Iowa is a .875-mile tri-oval with variable banking that drives like a much bigger superspeedway. With laps under 18 seconds, “The World’s Fastest Short Track” is exceptionally demanding physically and mentally on drivers. It was designed with the second generation of SAFER Barrier around the entire perimeter of the racetrack.

Honor guards are to stop performing changing of the guard ceremonies around a statue of Chiang Kai-shek (蔣介石) to avoid “worshiping authoritarianism,” the Ministry of Culture said yesterday.

Great news!! Never too late to stop idolizing brutal authoritarians.

They also buy lots of guns from the US. This is one of the real reasons. Lockheed Martin’s profit margins would decrease by a significant amount if our relationship with SA changed at all.

Even if the Saudis and other major countries in the reason were able to decrease tensions with Iran, Lockheed Martin and its associated propagandists and lobbyists would start beating the war drums to increase tensions and thus sales.

Edit: *one of the real reasons. Added para. on LM ensuring tensions in the region always remain high even when the people that live there and their government’s reduce tensions.

I’m 100% with you. The deprogramming took years. It feels like I wasted so much of my life, and I’m still trying to figure out where I fit in. What’s almost worse than knowing so many vets are still so brainwashed is watching people who didn’t go through the same programming shill even harder for regressive destruction. I work on a construction site and have to listen to these overconfident fascist blowhards rant all day.

The Supreme Court is prepared to jump through those hoops. They’ve practiced long and hard for this opportunity.

I went to modify my 2018 Google Wi-Fi router to add a simple port forwarding rule, and the functionality is completely GONE from their already shitty Google Home app. It used to be so easy and simple on the old Wi-Fi app. I’m never buying another Google device.

This company has reached enshittification nirvana.
