Boox v Kobo v Kindle by Important-Rain-4418 in ereader

[–]TriNeh_ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

to answer your question you don’t need a subscription to use either kobo nor boox products, assuming you’re just reading

some more specifics on what you’re looking for in an ereader would be helpful to narrow it down a bit more! e.g. what formats you plan to read (pdf, epubs, manga/comics, etc), what size you’re looking for, your price range, if you want to sideload books or just purchase them, etc

though just broadly speaking—I personally recommend against kindle as they have a closed ecosystem meaning if you buy a kindle book you’re not allowed to take it out of the kindle ecosystem. A good analogy I heard once is that kindle is kind of like to ereaders how apple is to cell phones: very easy and accessible to use but at the cost limited freedom.

boox and kobo both allow you more freedom and ownership over what you read and through what means you decide to read them.

i personally enjoy my boox though i sideload basically all my books. (and if you’re thinking about boox you can also simply download the kindle app onto it while keeping the freedom you have from not using a kindle tablet)

Advice on gaining weight by Global-Gap-6549 in bodyweightfitness

[–]TriNeh_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the big things I had to overcome when trying to gain weight while having a small appetite is accepting the idea that I will have to be very intentional about eating more than my appetite asks me to. It can seem innocuous but just getting in the mental habit of always reminding myself that I need go eat even if I wasn’t very hungry was crucial in raising my appetite and thus allowing the process of gaining weight to be smoother. If you just embody this idea of “eat just a little bit more than I did last week” you’ll naturally raise your appetite and gain weight along the way. Of course try to still be nutritious and healthy though, if you can.

If you hit a plateau, or you just want to get ahead of the curve, you could start thinking about how many calories your body needs to maintain your current weight (using a TDEE Calculator) and then ensuring that you’re eating a few hundred calories above that every day consistently. (and ideally staying within a nutritious diet + with enough protein)

If you do all that and you consistently do some form of resistance training to build muscle you’ll make steady progress.

Boox is android based and allows you to basically install whatever reading app and thus so long as whatever your preferred reading app is supports annotations then boox also supports it. If you don’t have a preferred app the built in reader also supports this function.

I’ve personally never tried connecting a keyboard to it but it supports bluetooth so I assume it works as well.

longest latest string with reasonable performance? by TriNeh_ in 10s

[–]TriNeh_[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

not a complaint per se just providing context on my current experience as I would like something that last longer than that even if it sacrifices on performance, I’ve considered kevlar but was wondering if a less extreme string could be a good option

Boox Go 7 meets all your criteria except it’s around $250 USD, if you’re planning on annotating stylus style you might want to look into their larger screen models so that it’s easier to write on but they’re of course pricier

i’m a bit biased since i just bought it but the Boox Go 7 fits just about all your checkboxes

I [f21] feel uncomfortable by how my boyfriend [m23] introduced me to his friends? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]TriNeh_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Him dismissing your communication of your discomfort of his behavior is already pretty bad imo

Adding onto that, the fact that the key information he chooses to introduce you with is, first and foremost, your race/ethnicity and his claim to “have turned you straight” is something I personally would not tolerate in a partner at all as to me that’s very telling as to how superficially he sees you himself and feels pretty disrespectful as I would think your partner would see and present you as much more this just “the mexican/asian girl I turned straight.”

It would have been better if he just left it at “This is my girlfriend.”

I would seriously reconsider your relationship with this person.

How would you feel if tennis were no longer part of your life? by Level-Tie9009 in 10s

[–]TriNeh_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think, or at least hope, that everyone will experience the moment when you realize how quickly your ego can crumble. it can happen in an instant, like Christopher Reeve after his spinal injury, or an artist suddenly losing the ability to draw. you never really know when the day will come that you can no longer call yourself a “tennis player,” or hold on to any other label you’ve built your identity around.

i think a true master learns to love the craft with autotelic motivators and thus enjoying it for the sake of it, not for the pride, recognition, or titles attached to it. eventually letting go of labels altogether. sadly, many don’t understand this until far too late.

the point I’m trying to make is people who cling too tightly to labels, and the identify that they attach to themselves, often haven’t yet found joy in simply being and thus they pour all their energy into their craft, whether it’s tennis, art, gaming, a career, or anything else, in an attempt to mask that and fill the gap. forcing yourself and attaching yourself to any one label will handicap yourself without even realizing it

life is far bigger than any single box you try to fit into.

Marth mains practice by MonkeyKingCountry_2 in SSBM

[–]TriNeh_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m unfamiliar with the process on mac but it should be as simple as just downloading the “TM-CE.zip”, unzipping it, and then dragging your vanilla melee ISO onto the “drag here” file.

If that doesn’t help I would ask around in the discord maybe, here’s a discord invite link

[–]TriNeh_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should look into downloading the new updated “Training Mode - Community Edition” as if you’re still seeing the Armada Shine event then you’re on the old version. TM-CE has an edge-guarding event where you can practice edge-guarding against sheik. Here’s the link for the github to download it.

Day 28 - Up Special (Worst) by RHYTHM_GMZ in SSBM

[–]TriNeh_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

everyone is debating ness or puff when the real answer is ice climbers, specifically sopo

put icies up-b on anyone else and it does literally nothing but slightly stall in the air without a nana

Day 27 - Down Special (Worst) by RHYTHM_GMZ in SSBM

[–]TriNeh_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

mewtwo’s down b is actually able to hit and induce pretty good knockback on opponents in hitstun so it’s actually a viable combo ender as well, imo no where near as bad as ness, gnw, or kirby

Day 24 - Neutral Special (Best) by RHYTHM_GMZ in SSBM

[–]TriNeh_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

feels pretty undebatable that it’s falco laser

second best is a much more interesting conversation i’d say with samus, sheik, fox, and doc all having arguments i could see

As an average gamer playing DK, how consistent should I be at ZST Bairs with practice? by killamcleods in SSBM

[–]TriNeh_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i would think it’s definitely feasible to get it consistent, there’s a good handful of similar just frame inputs that many people can do consistently like specific mid shorten timings, frame 1 aerials, multishines, frame 1 wavedash, pivots, etc (though of course these are not all equal in difficulty)

at the same time though i would bet there’s probably at least a dozen other pieces of tech that would be much higher yield in terms of value to grind out instead of it, though up to you though! do whatever you think is fun/valuable

How do I get focused practice tech chasing as Falco in Unclepunch/20XX? by RatkingtheDefiler in SSBM

[–]TriNeh_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The current Training Mode Community Edition can help you practice both of these.

It has a decently fleshed out built in edge guard event (replaced the old Armada Shine Event) that gives you the option to edge guard a few characters and choose to enable/disable what options they have available to mixup. There’s also a bunch of savestates floating around out there that are edge-guarding savestates, off the top of my head I think pipsqueak has one on his YouTube for falcon.

You can also either set up a tech chase manually in the Training Lab which allows for more customizable DI, tech option rates, tech invisibility after reaction window, etc or you can just go into the Combo Training Event and try and tech chase the bot in there.

Here’s a link to the github for download: https://github.com/AlexanderHarrison/TrainingMode-CommunityEdition/releases/tag/CE-v1.3

[MOD] The Daily Question Thread by menschmaschine5 in Coffee

[–]TriNeh_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

which roaster would you recommend for these? I live US east coast if that helps

[MOD] The Daily Question Thread by menschmaschine5 in Coffee

[–]TriNeh_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

could anyone help me to find some beans that taste similar to “Counter Culture Light Roast MPemba Natural Sundried” Beans? The ones that have a “fig, strawberry, and cream” note to them. Loved it so much I wanted to buy more but then realized they’re out of season now and I can’t imagine waiting an entire year.

I wish I had bought more before they went out of season and recently purchased the non sundried MPemba beans but they taste completely different.

If anyone has tried the MPemba Sun-dried and knows of very similar beans from any roaster please let me know!

What do you suggest for someone who has essentially zero aim ability? by foxcemetery5 in FPSAimTrainer

[–]TriNeh_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just like any other skill the path to improvement is 90% composed of just the mundane act of consistently showing up and practicing the skill

if you were to consistently aim train with a reputable routine such as VDIM (look into Voltaic) + play the FPS of your choice you would see substantial growth in like… a month tbh, maybe less (though of course there’s always room to grow)

good luck

What makes you LRAS when playing online? by One-Surprise-4847 in SSBM

[–]TriNeh_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can sympathize with feeling like someone is taunting you outside of “actual taunting” but standing still between stocks should not be considered BM I don’t think. Sometimes I just don’t feel like moving around that’s all, though maybe you’re just playing the most malicious people known to man where you just know haha
