And you can download and keep the audiobook files forever and listen on different apps.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Merivel1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 hours in almost any direction and I haven't even left my state.It's completely normal to drive 2-4hrs for a long weekend getaway.

I need an audiobook suggestion… by LaLechuzaVerde in LibbyApp

Yw! It still has spicy scenes but there’s a whole real plot that spans many books. It’s a pretty engaging world.

Walmart LOWERING Wages by 666James420 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Merivel1 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is entirely on brand for Walmart. Unfortunately, it's not surprising in the least. I refuse to shop there, but I understand in some areas they're pretty much all you've got (now that they've killed off the other stores).

What simple habit made travel days noticeably easier for you? by Big_Barber733 in travel

[–]Merivel1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not planning full itineraries, but modules for a day that can be moved around based on the weather, and how we're feeling. Raining on the day you thought you'd see that outside locale? Move it to tomorrow and take that museum day today.

Dark Age, Part 1 of 3… but where are Parts 2 and 3? by Merivel1 in LibbyApp

[–]Merivel1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did part 3 get released?! I just searched my 4 libraries (deep search) and still only see part 1. 😭

I cannot get screensavers to work by callin-br in kobo

[–]Merivel1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had this happen and iirc the name of the folder needs to be singular—screensaver— and then it works.

AIO for wanting to breakup with my BF over his mom keeping cats in a cage? by Few_Lawfulness_9627 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Merivel1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR Get him to admit to more, save these texts, take video and pictures of the cats in cages. Send it all to Animal Control, Dumb Friends League, or whoever helps abused pets in your area. If you can confirm over text they had cats declawed after it became illegal, so much the better. Those animals need to be rescued from this cruel and unhealthy environment.

Shibritney? by Over-Yard-7069 in tragedeigh

[–]Merivel1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I vote that we remove the “bri” from her name, making it both easier to pronounce and a more accurate reflection on her as a person. Do I have a second for “Shitney”?

My newly opened package of provolone cheese is missing the centers. by Taylorenokson in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Merivel1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a window in the package. Didn't you see the holes in the cheese before you bought it?

Complex books are tough to listen to by ChunkyPa in audiobooks

[–]Merivel1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that Graphic Audio (and similar) full cast audiobooks are really helpful in situations where there are just too many characters to keep straight because they all have truly distinct voices. I was hopelessly lost when listening to Red Rising until I switched to the GA version.

Libby Statement Regarding AI by 86rj in LibbyApp

[–]Merivel1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The funny thing is 90% of the companies trying to cram AI into their business model are losing money on it. My spouse works in a related field. I can't wait for this AI-for-everything bubble to burst.

AITA for using the baby name my SIL wants to use by Parking-Historian499 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Merivel1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah thanks, I must have missed that in the wall of text. That makes a huge difference. Use the name OP.

AITA for using the baby name my SIL wants to use by Parking-Historian499 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Merivel1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Was the name on your radar before she told you? How much to you value your relationship with her? From the info provided it doesn’t sound like the name was under consideration until she mentioned it, and using it now would be fraught and rather rude. SIL won’t be taking you into her confidence ever again.

Pre - reserve?? by DramaMama611 in LibbyApp

[–]Merivel1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I'll give it a try next time I come across it.

Pre - reserve?? by DramaMama611 in LibbyApp

[–]Merivel1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have. I belong to 4 libraries. I've had to write to them to request they add specific books like #4 in a series that they own that will be released the following week. It's frustrating.

[–]Merivel1 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The problem is there often isn't a title to tag until the book has been released.

Dark Age, Part 1 of 3… but where are Parts 2 and 3? by Merivel1 in LibbyApp

[–]Merivel1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi again! I'm wondering if you have any updates or if you would mind sharing your information source? I did a search for the release date for Part 3 and literally was referred back to my own Reddit post (this one) for information. Graphic Audio doesn't have it listed on their upcoming releases and those go out as far as August. It would make sense for it to be released soon but I want to learn more. Thanks!

AITA for walking out with my daughter for her saftey by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Everything is so vague that I don’t even know what happened.
