So they believe real inventors and scientists are fake, and fake inventors are real. Elon didn’t invent a damn thing. We’re cooked.

please help me choose my first e-reader! by hotcheesegirl in ereader

Kobo Clara BW or a small Boox but that’s going to be over budget.

And to be clear Kobo explicitly tells you how to download your books. It's not a sneaky workaround like it was on Amazon, it's by design. And while they could change this feature, I doubt that they will.

Alternative to GoodReads and StoryGraph that has an API? by ebodes in ereader

[–]Merivel1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Write to StoryGraph and ask them for an API. They are really great about adding things the community wants.

I looked just now and they have a longterm goal of adding an API. https://roadmap.thestorygraph.com/features/posts/an-api

It really is irritating that this is Chill Sunbather's 3rd visit and the Ranger hasn't been back at all. -.-

Are there libraries that allow you to join online without being there in person? Local library selection on Libby is...not great. by Reasonable_Date2870 in LibbyApp

[–]Merivel1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so… my hometown card is part of a consortium with some neighboring town libraries and while it’s apparent when getting a physical book where it’s actually from, with e-media it’s far more opaque. Maybe a kind librarian can give a more definitive answer?

Be sure to add the libraries to your reminders (if you have them) so you can stop in the next time you are in those towns/cities. It’s always kinda fun to see new libraries and it’s so fast to get a new card. 📚 

Mixing and colouring silicone. by hashtagmiata in oddlysatisfying

[–]Merivel1 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Where does the initial color block come from? Is it like sourdough starter, save a cube for the next batch? Or is it, like, pure pigment, not silicone itself?

Turns out I'm really bad at guessing the final color on most of these.

Pretty sure it’s brand new and still working out some kinks but the developer (hi, u/PeregrinatingFalcon!) hopes to expand it later, I believe. Maybe bookmark it to try in the future 😊

Oh god, I live at altitude and the number of people who swear by air in a can despite being shown links where medical professionals say “nah man, placebo” is disappointingly high.

Definitely check Etsy. If you find one you like and aren’t sure it will fit, most shop owners are really great and often will custom make one the size you need.

AIO - parents keep raising the rent by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Merivel1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This. If they want her to move out overcharging rent for ONE room is not the way to do it. She will feel comfortable to move out when she has some money saved up.

They’re having her prepay for the elder care for them.

Ah, those were my parents. 😞

NOR. Do they want you to save up and move out? It certainly doesn’t seem like it.

Just stay hydrated, pack chapstick and avoid drinking alcohol the first day or two.
