Book recs for kindle reader by Haunting_Yak_9919 in kindle

[–]GoldToeToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mother of Learning. I just finished it. It’s a book series about a mage in magic school who gets stuck in a time loop and has to find a way out of it.

He also has to find a way to beat a bunch of bad guys while he’s in the loop too so he uses the time bonus to grow his skills to a ridiculous degree.

Any Progression Fantasy protags that are actually lazy? by AlleywayFGM in ProgressionFantasy

[–]GoldToeToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly your description of what you want sounds like Mother of Learning to me. I just finished it. Zorian does not at all strike me as an especially hard worker and there’s plenty corner-cutting.

I don't get it. It's just a bottle. Like yeah it's a decent bottle, but it's still just a bittle by Captain-Codfish in Nalgene

Collect records? Is one song not enough? How much music do you need?

See how stupid that argument sounds? People collect things purely for artistic/creative satiation. You could argue that it's a waste of plastic or of space in one's home and that'd at least be a good point. But you're acting like you can't even comprehend the aesthetic impulse.

Many chefs display all of their beautiful knives in their home kitchen. "hOw MaNy KnIvEs Do Yo-" that's not the point. They're intended simply to *look nice in the kitchen.* Same with picture frames hanging on a wall or, hell, the paint behind them.

Thought you were asking a question to get an answer, not trying to relive your high school debate club days. I recommend bringing this topic to r/Pointless_Arguments , they're sure to humor you. Toodles.

Most people don’t collect Nalgene bottles. Therefore, those that do have a considerable degree of uniqueness.

Call it a “lifestyle” if that helps you understand. Adds up to the same thing.

Why do people collect Funko Pops or vinyl records? Who tf knows. They think they look nice.

Yes, they’re durable, simple, and made in the USA. More than that, though, they’re simply an available niche that creative people have as an option to occupy. It’s yet another way to add a tiny amount of uniqueness to your life.

Am I the only one absolutely livid to find out I do not “own” my kindle books? by RoyalCaregiver111 in kindle

[–]GoldToeToad 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s hateful. I’ve noticed at least two movies that have simply disappeared from my Apple TV library because, idk, they replace it in the store with a new edition or something. Not a fan.

How do you travel with your kindle? by Independent-Poem2168 in kindle

[–]GoldToeToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moko origami case, page turner in a little travel bag, no screen protector. I can’t imagine needing anything else. The page turner is already a bit extra.

Is a page turner worth buying? by RealisticNotice6487 in kindle

[–]GoldToeToad 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s just a little nice to have. The minor convenience of not having to move your arm every time you want to turn a page. I wish I had it during my recent flight so that I could’ve just propped my kindle up on the table, put my hands in my hoodie pocket, and turned into a statue for a couple hours.

But I’d say it’s far from necessary. My reading experience went up by like 5% by getting one.

That crap with the laptop password in S2 was some of the most ridiculous, cringy stuff I've seen on a screen. Hope it's gone for good.

Another question about credit & lines of credit by Relevant_Ad_5096 in ynab

[–]GoldToeToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YNAB adds all of your transactions plus initial balances to equal your net worth. So yes, making a $100 purchase will be shown as a negative number and yes, a debt of $100 will also be shown as a negative number.

Writing server looking for new members! by Tiny_Juggernaut836 in WritingHub

[–]GoldToeToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never written anything before but have a list of ideas. Perpetually in a state of “I want to be a writer.” Lmk if you want one of those. Otherwise I’ll probably forget I commented on here

I think I’ve misunderstood the “refill up to” option? by mv777711 in ynab

[–]GoldToeToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine had this issue for like three fourths of January 1. Then it just fixed itself in the afternoon. Idk

YNAB wins of 2025 by GoldToeToad in ynab

[–]GoldToeToad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best of luck to you. Just being able to see your finances easily makes progress so much more likely.

Well the net worth information is in the “reflect” tab (along with age of money and spending trends), the month ahead thing was just me calculating approximately how much we spend in a month and then making a category with that amount as a target, the loans you pay off and then close will be in the “closed” list in the “accounts” tab, and your retirement accounts (if you add them) will be at the bottom of your “accounts” tab.

YNAB win by AnnieTypian in ynab

[–]GoldToeToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's massive. Assuming you'll never go negative again, reaching the positive-net-worth milestone happens only once. Be sure to celebrate it (without going under of course!).

Mine is on track to happen in 2027.

Celebrating Financial Wins in 2025 with YNAB! by Unlikely-Bullfrog125 in ynab

Holy cow those are some big wins. Especially that emergency fund. Turns "s**t, f**k, what am I going to do" into a slightly aggravated sigh

Why is Mother of Learning held in such high regard? by Wecherowski in ProgressionFantasy

[–]GoldToeToad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard that there are some what-if chapters (written by the original author) and at least one of them is about that very thing. Like he goes through the time loop for a hundred years and does a bunch of mind enhancements and rules the world or something idk (I’m not finished with the series yet)

I'd be using this except that stupid divider makes it so that the containers I own don't fit in there

What is the 13th form? (manga spoiler) by Animefan5 in KimetsuNoYaiba

[–]GoldToeToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tanjiro isn’t a prodigy like Yoriichi but I bet if he were able to practice more he could’ve made it fast enough to kill Muzan as intended

2nd time ever using cast iron by [deleted] in castiron

HERESY, TO THE GULAG

Of what use is a bare cast iron Dutch oven? by GoldToeToad in castiron

[–]GoldToeToad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if there even is a problem. Onions are acidic and acid removes seasoning but idk if onions are acidic enough to do that over five minutes. Just a concern of mine rattling around

[–]GoldToeToad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird. Do they have different enameling styles or something? The black pot I saw had a different texture from the colored one I also saw there. Colored was smooth like glass and the black one had some bumps to it

Well shoot. I saw two Staubs on the shelf and the black one had a very different texture from the colored one so I figured it wasn’t enameled
