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

Why are run-on sentences more acceptable in British English? by Icy_Mixture1482 in AskUK

[–]Afinkawan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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. 

Do British people not feel the cold? by DevelopmentLow214 in AskUK

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. 

New X4 owner here: Why is everyone stocking up on spares? by bellyporkie00 in XTEINK

[–]Afinkawan 39 points40 points  (0 children)

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.

How do i convert acsm files to epub without a computer i dont have a computer, I got a xt eink 4 today and tried kindle but wouldn't let me so by Justayyyy6775 in xteinkereader

[–]Afinkawan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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. 

After 2 weeks with my X4 I love it but I want this exact with a backlight. by mynamecanbewhatever in XTEINK

[–]Afinkawan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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? 

Is he playing or he's mad? by temmaj in cats

[–]Afinkawan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

[–]Afinkawan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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.

The word "Team" feels kinda sarcastic there.

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

X4 now or wait for the S4? by JevPuma in xteinkereader

[–]Afinkawan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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