No, live, laugh, love smells like pumpkin spice. This photo smells like patchouli and weed.

"man, people back then would read just about anything " I say to myself as i swipe through my feed of garbage.

There’re a lot of keys on that keyboard…

Goddamn corporate-raiding vulture capitalists .

Jesus I hope it’s the first one.

Squirrel hole doesn’t have the same cache´ as rat hole

I’ll second the kobo ecosystem but add that if you install the 3rd party koreader software on it it will make syncing to a local calibre-web seamless. And it leaves the stock reader software in place so you can read drm encrypted files if needed. I have a similar use case to yours where I use the device to read books but also papers, which I usually pdf and put in a specific shelf in calibre

I did this once in college to use up food plan “points” that would have expired at the end of the semester. I drank half a mug of espresso and was NOT ok afterward.

Any port in a storm.

I don’t think it’s a location thing, it’s an intelligence thing - I’m in Florida and it doesn’t make any more sense to me

“Do you have and/or operate armed drones” has not been one of the questions I’ve thought to bring up at past PTA meetings.

I wonder if the tele-cops operating these things will get bonus points for friendly fire hits

This reads like a MAGA wet dream.

I’ve been using it for 10+ years on a combination of Netgear, TP-Link and Raspberry Pi hardware, so at least that long?

Weird, I must be seeing a different screenshot, because all I read here is “TP Link would like you to overwrite its firmware with OpenWRT.”

What did the world do to you that you felt the need to make this?

Who on earth downvoted this masterpiece?

There are numerous contemporaneous writings that are either (a) in French or (b) hard to read because of flowery Enlightenment-era English, but Dave Graeber and David Wengrow do an excellent job of collecting together a lot of the relevant information in The Dawn of Everything. There are also plenty of other really good histories of the Wendat and Huron people and Pacific coast potlatch societies though I can’t think of the authors I’ve liked right at the moment.

The kind of society that “won out” over the other kinds we’ve tried is definitely a contributor. When Europeans were integrating with the plains Indians in the US and Canada many of them noted how the “less-civilized” people seemed to be a good deal more civilized than themselves in a lot of respects (like with mutual aid, division of labor and resources, etc.). But there’s no reason to think we can’t get there again.

Bring back old-school Orangina!
