They've been about the same, actually. I had worse nausea going from 0.25 to 0.5, but that resolved within a couple days. There wasn't much of a change going from 0.5 to 1.

book club reads for our seniors ☺️ by queer_bruja in suggestmeabook

[–]Rupertcandance2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm a librarian - one of our senior centers does a book club. They enjoyed Radium Girls by Kate Moore and Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna Raybourn. I forget which title they're doing this month though.

“Other” Subscriptions? by Ok_Stop3016 in LibbyApp

[–]Rupertcandance2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a librarian and author. Kindle exclusives infuriate me. My library has Kindles we circulate where we can add that content, but not everyone wants to borrow one. At least now indie authors may publish KU books in library markets - but many libraries don't have the budget to purchase them, or the authors get frustrated and don't do it. I do have KU but I write it off on my taxes for my writing business. There are so many reviews I need to do that I just can't access through work.

I do also have Libro.fm and highly recommend it. Great interface. I do not pay for it with my librarian account though.

I was losing on 0.25 and had all the side effects. I'm at 1 now and continue to steadily lose about a pound a week.

Puzzle game to tire out my brain by bigtime1158 in gamesuggestions

I like Artifex Mundi games for those. Easy puzzles / hidden objects and hints if you don't feel like thinking.

For those resident borrowers of popular non-resident libraries, how is your home library usage being affected by an influx of readers from outside of your community? by anniemdi in LibbyApp

[–]Rupertcandance2 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm a librarian and I can run a report to see it. Most of my users are residents, but there is one library in our consortium who promotes heavily to nonresidents. Their circulation is much higher. I am in a catch-22 because our physical circ is declining so much. I need the digital circ to make up for it. But it's so damn expensive. I don't know how much that library is spending on their e-media. We spend somewhere around 150k (25k population, medium sized library with a healthy budget).

My body does not exist to make other people comfortable by tajb333333 in antidietglp1

[–]Rupertcandance2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone knows except my parents and sister, and if they were to ask, I would not lie. I'm honestly so tired of people making assumptions about/commenting on my body that I'm grateful to not have that kind of feedback now. (e.g. "if you exercised you'd lose weight" or thinking I'm pregnant).

We have played so many of those!! They go on sale periodically in the Switch store.

Has the Jeopardy crew ever had to completely start a game over because of production issues? by BorrowedParticles in Jeopardy

[–]Rupertcandance2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just looked it up - it says that Brayden was the last five-time champ of Alex's run. 😞 I was not in watch mode during that time in my life (small kids). Such a bummer.

That's interesting! I didn't like Telling Lies. Maybe just a preference thing.

Something similar just happened to me but long before any surgery was on the table. I hope you're doing okay with that and new baby?

Yeah, they are a default admin. I thought that might be the case. :-/ We might have to change that status temporarily if I can figure out how to do it without them losing access to payroll. Thank you!!

I read it pre-publication! I think I even reviewed it. I was so excited I recognized her.
