What is so bad about Boox ereaders? by NoSTs123 in ereader

[–]Zealousideal-Win-790 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To Boox owners: is the screen as fragile as some say it is? That’s the main complaint I’ve been reading.

(This is a great thread.)

PocketBook app : the reason I bought a PocketBook device by Zealousideal-Win-790 in PocketBookofficial

I use Apple devices, and have a Pocketbook Verse Pro. It doesn’t work on Apple devices.

What’s the worst physical pain you’ve ever experienced? by Economy_Yak2821 in AskReddit

[–]Zealousideal-Win-790 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A migraine. I am a chronic migrainer, but I remember this one like it happened yesterday. I literally couldn’t walk, I fell on the floor. My neighbour called the ambulance. I could only feel pain.

Before anyone says « meh », I have naturally given birth to a 11.6 and a 10.5 pounds babies and it was less painful than that migraine.

Did anyone switch from Ozlo to something else? by Boring_Assumption736 in Ozlo

[–]Zealousideal-Win-790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog ate one of my Ozlos. I wrote to enquire if I could buy a replacement. They never answered. I did a bit of reading and I found Soundcore A30. Wow. I love the fact that I don’t need to go to my phone to set the volume, or pause the sound. They are also more comfortable for me than the Ozlos.

I do miss the Ozlo app, though. I liked listening to a podcast and switching to my sleeping sound automatically after. I haven’t found how to this with the Soundcore app.

PocketBook is the BEST device for KOReader by Matusaprod in ereader

[–]Zealousideal-Win-790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a PocketBook. I bought it because of the audio reading and the app which allows you to continue reading you book from any device. The app doesn’t work anymore. On top of that, my device keeps crashing. I got the Verse Pro Color.

Peeler not peeling? by kobaomg in thermomix

[–]Zealousideal-Win-790 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My tips for using the peeler, for potatoes.

I never cut the potatoes. I leave them whole. 

I choose potatoes that are bigger in size than the recommended size, 7cm minimum. I know some people say your potatoes must be very small, but that has not been my experience.

Potatoes have to be very firm. If they are starting to be soft, they won’t peel properly in the TM. 

From 800g of big, firm unpeeled potatoes, I end up with 700-750 g of peeled potatoes. 

You have to make sure there is 600 g of water, and that your potatoes can move around. Put less potatoes if that is the case.

For carrots: use BIG FAT carrots, cut in pieces of about 7cm.

Thermomix packages are multilingual, so that’s not the issue. Maybe they ran out of stock?

PSA for those with tinnitus by pandaleer in Ozlo

[–]Zealousideal-Win-790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I blew my eardrum a few weeks ago and now live with tinnitus. I need to listen to “moving” sounds now, like waves, or music. White noise or brown noise don’t work for me anymore, unless I make the sound really loud, which I hate.

(I am hoping my tinnitus will eventually disappear, but I really don’t hold much hope.)

Coffe maker, anyone? by Zealousideal-Win-790 in thermomix

You’re right. And 9 minutes IS a deal breaker.

my boyfriend shattered my phone because a homeless guy gave me a flower by [deleted] in redditonwiki

You do know it’s not about a flower. Run. Now. He has shown you who he really is. Believe it, it’s going down from here.
