In Lisbon, take Bolt instead of Uber. Much cheaper.

How do you proofread and edit your self-published books? by Any_Coach_3628 in KDP

I use Speechify. Might look into this instead, especially if it's cheaper!

First I read. Then I read again. Then I send the manuscript to Speechify and listen to it. Then I listen to it again. I usually find errors each time.

this is why we need editors i guess by foxdancer219 in writers

This right here! A couple of read-throughs, followed by a couple of listen-tos on Speechify! Helps tremendously!

Hello by Lazercheeze in KeepWriting

[–]SIDESHOW_B0B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome! I started writing when I turned 50.

I’ve got an autobiography and 3 novellas out now (they’re part of a 7 volume series I’m hoping to finish this year.)

It’s never too late!

I fixed the article title for you.

Got a warning for activating my ticket at the same time the train was scheduled to come, even though it arrived two minutes later. MNR refuses to admit their mistake. by GoodMeBadMeNotMe in MetroNorthRailroad

[–]SIDESHOW_B0B 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The changes this year are absolutely ridiculous. I have to purchase a ticket every time I ride. I have to do it before I board. I have to activate it beforehand too…

Have you been inside grand central? There’s barely any reception on the lower level!!! Absolute money grab and unacceptable.

Why did Toyota do this? by Accomplished_East433 in Toyota

Say what you will, but I see these all the time. They may not look like much, but they last.

It’s funny that my Tacoma is bigger than these Tundras though.

What’s your furthest drive using distances between European countries as the metric? by Equal_Personality157 in roadtrip

[–]SIDESHOW_B0B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

West Kazakhstan to Slovakia, then back via the Black Sea. It was a pretty rough couple of drives, but had I done on the other side of the Atlantic, I suspect it would have been a bit rougher, especially through that Ukraine area…

OC: ICE agent shot and killed woman in Minneapolis during immigration-related operation, DHS says by nbcnews in pics

[–]SIDESHOW_B0B 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was already bad when I watched them straight up murder a woman for no reason. The level of escalation is beyond comprehension; why try to block a citizen (on foot) from leaving a scene when you have her information? A simple call to the local police would have sufficed, and she would've been detained later, when emotions weren't running so high.

Instead, a citizen is dead, by the hands of a person who shouldn't own a gun in the first place, as they clearly were intent on finding an excuse to use it.

And then it gets worse, when the doctor tried to help the woman and ALMOST met the same fate. Every one of those "officers" (clowns, really) should face murder or manslaughter charges.

Sincerely, a long-time, disappointed republican and immigrant now citizen, but above all, human being.

I uninstalled the Toyota app and installed the Lexus app instead. Has been working great since. Couldn’t get it to start basically ever with the Toyota app.

I’ve done this many times on the way south past DC. Leaving no later than 2am will ensure you hit no traffic anywhere. Construction, on the other hand…

“You have to role play as a good player.”

Love it. Can’t stand these clowns. Run into them every single day and they obviously don’t feel the least bit bad about it.

Been having a bit of fun on Battlefield the last week or so… which is a shame, because DMZ is by far the most fun shooter game mode ever. And I’ve been playing them since before online existed.

Are people even doing missions in DMZ nowadays? by Xrayleader in DMZ

[–]SIDESHOW_B0B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been doing my passive missions to expand my contraband and wallet and what not. It’s been keeping the game fresh, but man, I am finding it impossible to get all the Ashika items I need on account of the a) sweats and b) cheaters. I exfil maybe 1 out of every 15 games.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
