This is unfortunate. I just bought one a couple months ago but haven’t even opened it yet.

Well there already almost a dozen republican candidates, we just need to collectively back one or two that aren’t Trump. Does anyone have any thoughts on William Hurd who just announced? I don’t know much about him.

Are there any promising Democrats that are running against Biden?

Thank you for linking this. I read through it all, and as an avid Libby user, what quite disheartened. I just checked to see if my library has any other ebook options, but they don’t.

While I agree in my dislike for the current Republican Party, the attitude of blindly voting for your team because the other is evil is exactly what my (late) fox-addicted grandfather used to uphold. I loved the man, but I think we ought to do better and do the hard work of researching every candidate and choosing the best, be it democrat, republican, or independent.

As someone who hasn’t personally done any of these tests but whose relatives (aunts/cousins) have, does anyone know how much of my personal information is now up for sale?

Chinese products. After living there for a decade, I now actively try and avoid buying products made there—or Chinese companies—at the least.

I had no idea that they even still did this. I assumed it ended years ago. Interesting.

I just recently read an article about Overdrive and KKR, the company that bought both Overdrive and now this publisher. It was a really disheartening read for what’s happening in the books market.

When I watched MKBHDs video on this, my first thought was whether or not we could selfhost a service like this. If I could run this through my own Mac mini server to my own / family’s phones, that would be great. I don’t think I’d ever feel comfortable logging into my iCloud account on some company’s server with just their pinky promise as a guarantee.
