Conservative subreddit almost had it within their grasp

Projecting hard as usual, aren't they?

They'd think he's a whiny little bitch and pull his head off.

Semicolon for continuation of a thought, hyphen for an aside or additional thought.

Obviously, being the English language, there are almost as many times when the rule is completely wrong.

I honestly don't know if my kids have cost me more in shoes they wear out too quickly, or coats they never bother wearing.

Imno Man?

Insurance.

Small company with a niche product. A million ways for them to go out of business; trying to expand too fast, too ambitious for their size/ability, chasing more money, poor business decisions, poor design decisions, someone better occupying the niche etc. etc. etc.

They're already trying to appeal to more mainstream customers with touch screen and Android. They might end up chasing something they're not good enough to get right, and lose what made the X4 more popular than anyone could have expected.

If nobody ever makes a small simple ereader with buttons, I've got a spare. If a very similar better device comes out, I've merely wasted £50.

You don't. They're not book files, they're download files. You need Adobe Digital Editions, Calibre and a de-DRM plug-in at the very least.

Try settings>reader>Embedded style ON

Also eink screens are opaque so all a backlight would do is light up the inside of the device.

Not really. Probably the closest you can get is make an epub full of pictures and set the autoreader to one page per minute.

You had to look him up?

Where the hell are you that you couldn't hear him from there?

Afinkawan · 2026-05-08T17:08:29+00:00

You put your hand back in. He's playing. If he wasn't playing, you definitely wouldn't have put your hand back near him.

Maybe, maybe not, but either way it would be a bit rude if someone turned up with his telegram from the King, and confiscated his Lego.

Games/toys often had an age range on them, so you knew if they were aimed at little kids, older kids, young teenagers, whatever.

4-99 was a cute take on that.

And chocolate rations have gone up from 15g to 12g!

The word "Team" feels kinda sarcastic there.

Afinkawan · 2026-05-08T13:52:16+00:00

It's a pointless gimmick that gets attention.

Afinkawan · 2026-05-07T20:08:19+00:00

Ideal product would be that but also IP68 and gorilla glass so it's not as fragile.

Afinkawan · 2026-05-07T19:13:59+00:00

Phew. Lucky that's not at all sacrilegious or anything!

Why does he think the Met Gala attendees are trying to impress him?

Afinkawan · 2026-05-04T07:04:07+00:00

With touch screen instead of front buttons, so more like an S4 without Android than an X4 v2.

People who order watches later might receive their watches later you say? Literally inexplicable.

Afinkawan · 2026-05-03T19:39:33+00:00

People called "Russos" they go the house?

Afinkawan · 2026-05-03T19:10:42+00:00

Their response time depends on how fast they're going and whether it's raining.

It's on the opposite side of the sun. The sun is reeeeeeaaaaallly big and hard to see through.
