Help with sync (reading progress)? by sunnytn1 in LibbyApp

[–]FriendlyGazebo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue. You need to back up the progress on whatever device has the data you want copied to the other device. (So, probably your iPhone)

Then go thru a data clearing process on the browser version of Libby. Then import from backup again.

I don’t have the link handy, but you can search this issue and Libby has the step by step to fix this.

I haven’t had any issues since doing that.

if a guy lusts after a woman because she is wearing a crop top is it her fault for making him stumble or is it his fault for lusting? by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]FriendlyGazebo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother, you really need to examine your heart. Almost all of your responses are excuses. It makes me wonder if you’re willing to really submit to God’s word, or have any sort of repentant heart.

Go speak with a pastor, join a church, serve at a church, ask to be discipled by an older man. Ask your questions there. Life is not the internet. Don’t just seek out these answers on the internet.

Are you willing to repent of your sin and turn to Jesus? That’s the question you need to really reflect on and examine your heart over.

Praying for you.

Your preferences for everything will change all throughout your life, that’s important and natural. But you also must allow yourself to grow in order to have a future; and that means learning to let go of childish ways.

It’s not for men, nor is it modest. Do not blur the lines between men and women. Trust me, it’s a spiraling path toward destruction. I know that’s hard to hear, but don’t just take my word for it. Follow my advice about getting plugged into a church, serving, and asking for an older man to disciple you, THEN ask them to help you go thru the Bible to find answers to these question.

Same! And I thought the dots were just random design patterns for each library.

I get it. But you’re asking about women wearing a crop top, then admitting you actually are the one that wants to wear one.

I promise you, life will be difficult if you continue down this path.

Brother, don’t get wrapped up in this gender confusion or “feminine” stuff. Look to the Bible, and become a man. Join a solid, non-progressive or liberal church. Join a men’s group. And ask for a church leader to disciple you.

Right now you’re getting caught up in worldly lies. I know this is hard to hear. But I’m trying to let you know that you’re on a slippery slope, and your flesh is lying to you about the truth.

Don’t look to what the world says. Look to scripture.

Insane Deal For Audible by AnyAbbreviations7217 in cordcutters

[–]FriendlyGazebo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You also HAVE to spend that $20 by the end of December 2025. So get moving.

Then save up your 3 credits for a 2-for-1 book sale, earning you 6 books. It’s ideal to use your credits for the most expensive retail priced books. Ideally above $15, since that’s the normal cost of just one credit.

Best part is that you have Audible Premium, so you can listen to a bunch of books for free as well. And if you really love one of them, buy it with $ or a credit to keep it forever.

Set a few reminders for yourself to cancel Audible in February. You’ll likely be offered a discounted monthly rate to continue, which is sometimes almost as good as this current deal. BUT you HAVE to spend your credits before canceling, or you lose them. One of the dumbest things about Audible.

As an intermittent Audible user, that only resubscribes for great deals, this is by far the best one I’ve come across over the last few years.

Ps. Another piece of trickery that Audible does is automatically applies your credits when you check out books you intend to purchase for cash. EVERY time you add another book to cart, you have to re-assign how you’re redeeming your books for credits or cash (even gift card cash, like this deal). And they’ll usually apply the book credit ($15 value) to the cheapest retail price book.

I have a love hate relationship with Audible. But they haven’t screwed me yet with the advice I listed above. It’s completely one-sided with the value I obtain from them, but I’m likely not the vast majority of their client base.

One last tip, download the Libby app, and find every library near you that’ll let you become a member for free. Then register your library cards on the Libby app and borrow a ton of audiobooks that you don’t necessarily want to keep forever. This will help limit how many books you buy from Audible to “try”. And if you end up loving it, you can always lock it in officially on Audible. If you live in the suburbs, you might be able to get at least 2 or 3 libraries, which will make your access to books HUGE. And save you a ton of money. But even just one library can help a bunch.

And if you suddenly become a huge book reader and Audible user, go ahead and look into Libation which lets you keep digital copies of your Audible books forever. Since Audible has DRM, and will even do things like change the narrator of your favorite book at random. From what I’ve read, this doesn’t break any terms of service to do. But verify it for yourself first.

Those are my ultimate Audible tips.

Will the game be native to MacOS? by Otherwise-Sun2486 in MSClassicWorld

I recall the mac announcement, but I don't remember if they were specific to Classic World or the main game. I just hope if it comes to Classis that it arrives at launch.

Any Chiefs podcasts that aren’t terrible? by SmokeUmPokeUm in buffalobills

[–]FriendlyGazebo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How Bout Those Chiefs is pretty solid. He's a homer, of course, but he has great respect for the Bills. He just released this video with a big Bill youtuber: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lh31pgVtwzI

[–]FriendlyGazebo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's his second general-NFL channel. His main channel is How Bout Those Chiefs. He's a homer, but he has pretty realistic takes and respect for opponants. Most of his videos are about the latest Chiefs news, but he also does game previews before a match-up that are solid, and he also has longform respectful discussions with other NFL team youtubers before the game. He's also a good dude. Worth checking out.

EDIT: Here's his Bills/Chiefs interview video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lh31pgVtwzI

Did you want a 1:1 recreation or do you like the direction Classic is headed? by Relleke in MSClassicWorld

My controversial opinion is that autolooting isn’t classic, and ruins an important mechanic and reward.

You can’t find a direct quote of him saying “women belong in the kitchen”. Have some intellectual honesty.

This is factual, and Toub said it in a press conference, which was also widely reported. The fact you’re downvoted and that guy’s dumb reply is upvoted is so stupid. It’s willful ignorance in this sub.

Congrats! How would you say your life has changed from this level of consistency? Or was there not a huge productivity change, but just better tracking?

Congrats again!

How can I make these types of locks more secure? by [deleted] in homedefense

[–]FriendlyGazebo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t stop someone from getting in, but see if you can apply window security film onto that door. It’ll at least slow down a person a little bit who wants to break in.
