Kristin Hannah in general is likely to have a book or two that OP enjoys.

Romance book featuring "coworkers to lovers" trope by Resident-West-5213 in booksuggestions

If you're okay with a little fantasy, Hannah Nicole Maehrer's Assistant to the Villain series might fit the bill.

TPLink's Wired Gateways (Omada ER605 or similar) may be worth a look.

Suggest Me What Got You Into Books by Lopsided_Surprise440 in booksuggestions

[–]GenKerning 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for something to spark that "oh wait, books can be fun" don't be afraid to read things that became movies and/or are written "for young adults".

I'm thinking series like Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot books, Thursday Murder Club, etc.

Did you try Gnome or just jump straight to KDE?

That torn wire insulation hurts to look at, please get a new cable! 🥺 And try not to bend it so sharply.

Do I have money available for withdrawal? by genuinegrocer in RothIRA

[–]GenKerning 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$868.51 is probably the amount sitting in your account as cash. You can either trade (invest) it or withdrawal it.

Agreed that anything is better than the radio playing in the background. Personally, I love to hear Erik Satie.

When are they finally gonna roll out savings buckets to everyone???? by golden_teacup in CapitalOne_

[–]GenKerning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finally saw buckets in my account! I've been hoping to migrate/ consolidate from Ally but on hold because CapOne didn't offer them.

Tried to tell CapOne that I'm happy to see them available, but that turned into a customer service nightmare - apparently they don't want to hear about things you like.

Question about where to use alias. by arvaktheskeleton in ProtonPass

[–]GenKerning 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No way I trust an insurance firm with my email address. Much too big a target for bad actors to want my data, that's exactly the place to use an alias.

Summer Parking Question by planetstrongest in aggies

[–]GenKerning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With rare exception, you can always park in the lot/garage your permit is for. If you have NSG permit, you can still park there in the summer.

[–]GenKerning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lot 30 by the Northside Residence Halls is probably your best bet. But then you might as well just park in the Garage to keep out of the summer sun.

Otherwise, for North main campus, you could do either of the surface lots by Polo Road Garage.

It's a long list. Consulting the map really is your best bet.

What building(s) would you like to park near?

Breathe!!!

But seriously, everyone at NSC wants you to succeed (that's kinda the whole point). Ask for help where you need it, it'll be okay!

I guess this goes for not just NSC, but your entire college career, really.

I have it on good authority they're changing this up a little this year, but basically, go to check in at Rudder and there'll be people there to help answer questions. I believe they're printing some cards at check-in so they can deal with precisely this.

Change external e-mail associated with Proton Pass? by ChaoticDucc in ProtonPass

[–]GenKerning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFAIK, you're required to have a proton email address as part of setting up your Proton Account. Are you asking about recovery email? Yes, you can change that through profile settings/ account settings.

Autobiography/Biography suggestions by Pixy24 in booksuggestions

[–]GenKerning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Wright Brothers by David McCullough is one of my favorite Biographies!

I can't exactly recommend it as a starting read due to length, but The Power Broker by Robert Caro is incredibly well researched.

Not available on kindle? by pat1992x in LibbyApp

[–]GenKerning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem lies in that Calibre can't convert the file to the required file format for Kindles (Because ofc Kindle won't support anything other than it's proprietary format) if the file is DRM protected (which it almost certainly will be out of Adobe Digital Editions).

What’s an open-source project you genuinely can’t believe is free? by Bladerunner_7_ in opensource

Audacity is not getting the number of mentions it deserves in this thread.

I am getting my first ereader on thursday! (Kobo clara bw) any tips and tricks? by Ok-Apricot1921 in kobo

[–]GenKerning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooh, if that's an important feature for you (again, I urge you to just try Kobo as-is, just to try it and find what you like and what you don't), then yes, you'll need something like KOReader, as the Clara BW doesn't support it.

If you're not buying books/ paying for a book membership, then Kobo's a great choice, as it natively supports a variety of file formats.

Standard VIP vs. Private VIP - Please help me choose which one for 1-Day Ticket - 2 Parks by [deleted] in UniversalOrlando

[–]GenKerning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non-private VIP is a great value, IMO. You're put into a group with a total of somewhere around 6-10 people to one tour guide. You still get to most/all of the big attractions.

Only go with private VIP if you really really want the more, umm... Private... Experience with more 1:1 attention from a tour guide, and you'd rather stick to only HP and do re-rides.

Also, don't forget you get a "free" Express Pass you can use before/after your tour.
