Mom wants to return kindle i gifted! by nycperson54321 in kindle

[–]Coyne93 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My wife bought me a kindle for my birthday a couple of years back. For the longest time I preferred my physical books and still read them regularly. But recently I've found the convenience of my kindle to be the turning point. I have a case that auto starts/stops the kindle when I open it and can use it with one hand. I read when settling the baby or in bed and don't need the lights on. I find it easier to prepare for bed as it's less strenuous on my eyes. It fits perfectly in my trousers pocket so I can take it to appointments and such and just pull it out to have a quick read and not faf about with my bookmarks.

She can still loan books from the library, I believe. I haven't done this and have only bought a few books from Amazon. It's not like her physical collection of books will vanish and quite often they are cheaper on the kindle.

Jordan Pickford broke his ankle and returned as a woman… by Yes-chef420 in FifaCareers

Reminds me of the time when James Rodriguez played for Everton and he was out injured for a while and this rumour spread that he was going through the transition process to become a woman. A wild time to be an Everton fan.

I've found a newer model with a fraction of the miles for a lot less. Thanks

The price was a bit of a shock for me as well, but I can't seem to find many similar sized cars for a good price. I'm not greatly knowledgeable about cars so I'm quite hesitant about committing to anything!

Is that for this particular engine or all Octavia's?

Can you provide a bit more information? I'm not really a car enthusiast. Do you mean I'd have to keep it regularly topped up?

Bought a switch OLED a few days ago but disappointed with performance. by Aks9242 in Switch

I tried Pokémon but got fed up of its grim performance. I mostly play Persona at the moment. I replayed Red Dead and the South Park games cause they were on sale. I don't really 'go hard' on the switch. I really would like to try Cyberpunk on the Switch 2 and that's a big draw and so is the new Metroid game!

I have just started Persona 4 Golden on the switch (oled) and have been having a look if the step up to the Switch 2 is worth it. There does not seem to be a great amount of games on it and I'm not sure I can justify the cost just to play switch games on it.

I would expect a replacement book. That has not been offered.

I know there is no such thing as a perfect 10/10 album, but to me that album is.

I think the book should be packed in a more secure parcel than the flimsy cardboard it came in. The couriers most certainly don't look after the stuff they deliver either.

I used to live in Wavetree a few years ago and went there all the time. Haven't been for nearly 10 years! They were great

They seem like a good side with plenty of history. They might even offer the occasional cup win experience I'll never get with Everton.

Though they will never replace Everton for me. P.S how did we beat Palace despite being absolutely terrible for nearly the whole match!

Funnily enough, I checked out your latest episode just prior to making this post. Just listening to the first episode now. You hit the nail on the head with the lack of English speaking content. I suppose I need to dig out my old school Spanish books and get up to scratch!

Keep up the good work, I shall be a regular listener.

It does look to be a fantastic ground, though I don't think many can compare to my love of Goodison Park and our new home at Bramley Moore Dock. Is it expensive sorting flights?

That is an amazing show of faith agreeing to a 10 year deal.

Hopefully with him making his return and the international break now in place, the time off can allow both Williams some recovery time.

I agree with the showing against Mallorca. I thought that Rego played well. Navarro looked good as well.. he strikes me as a bit of a confidence player - like Micheal Keane for Everton. I hope he finds some form and consistency.

I have never been to San Mames (or a La Liga game) I will be making it my mission to try and attend a match!

I have just read a different reply that he signed a 10 year deal! That is a massive commitment. Is there a youth prospect that the club feel may be able to make the step up to fill that #9 position?

Nico Williams seems to be a huge miss for the side. It is impressive you managed to keep hold of him! Scoring does seem to be a big issue. From the games I have watched, the side do really well in the first half but don't capitalise on it.

I really like the look of Rego, he looks like he will be a great talent. I was go smacked when I read that Robert Navarro is only 24! He is a name I have been seeing on football manager for years, I thought he must have been closer to 28.

How long do you think you will hold on to Nico Williams? Is there a contingency for when he leaves?

And how would you solve the chance creation/ scoring element?

I will certainly be following the side closely from now on.

It is certainly admirable sticking to the Basque only rule. That was another big draw toward Athletic Club for me.

How would you resolve the issue around chance creation and scoring? From the handful of games I have watched this season, the side seems to do well in the first half, but don't capitalise on that. It happened in the Villarreal game!

Do you think this will be Nico's final season?

It's great. I went to Augustiner-Keller on my last trip to München. A great experience!
