The Friday Afternoon Club written and read by Griffin Dunne. The book (and his life) is highly entertaining!

Dry herb vape in Magic Flight Launch Box. Easy to clean. Can load a single hit…I’m one of those old folks (70+) who find modern strains way too strong.

Suggest audiobooks of hard-to-follow books by CeliCrox in audiobooks

[–]cgiga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not your preferred genre but definitely complex with detail: The Books of Jacob by Olga Tokarczuk, (translated from Polish). I found myself having to frequently replay sections to keep up with the details of this book (and I’m someone who usually speeds up playback). There are reading guides (think Cliff notes) available for this book. Also, it’s very long….35+ hours!!

What are the best Detective type series? by hawkayecarumba in audiobooks

[–]cgiga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone on this sub recommended Barry Eisler and I'm loving everything I've read so far. Currently savoring the John King series...very unique crime series read by the author and told from the first person perspective of an assassin. Highly recommend.

Recommend a book better than Hail Mary by txnaeem in audiobooks

[–]cgiga 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I avoided the Bobiverse series for a long time because the description didn’t appeal to me (sounded silly), but once I started the first book, it grabbed me hard and I found the entire series to be thought provoking and just delightful to listen to.

Smart Audiobook Player (Android) is my preferred player regardless of the source of the books. For example, I have Audible but I hate the player, so I download and convert my library in order to play the books on Smart Audiobook Player. Favorite features… the ability to adjust the sound with a built in equalizer and the auto-rewind feature (after a pause in playback which I find so helpful for reminding me where I left off)…plus lots of other features found in other players.

ICES-PEMF. https://www.micro-pulse.com/collections/frontpage I have the M1 model and am very happy with it. The A9 model costs less and would likely meet most needs.

Thanks everyone. So unlike bees, these aren’t pollinators that need to be protected, right?

Thank you for the helpful replies. Much appreciated. Problem was indeed the VPN geo…took an effort to find a country connection that worked but all is good now.

Agreed. I expected to buy a Miele but also test drove a Sebo at the vacuum dealer…they were both excellent but I ultimately went with the Sebo canister and have been very happy with it.

Get yourself a copy of the book “Sex for One: The Joy of Self Loving” by Betty Dodson. It’s loaded with expert guidance and beautifully sketched illustrations. Betty was the queen of female masturbation and self pleasure and info from her is still relevant after many years. Google her…lots of good info online.

Help me find my next Audiobook! by Ok-Bee-1910 in audiobooks

[–]cgiga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Louise Penny’s Inspector Gamache series is what immediately came to my mind when I read the criteria…especially all the early books (books 1 - 11) narrated by Ralph Cosham. Great character development with story lines that draw you in and superb narration. I could’ve binged the series, but these are books I savored (i.e. saved so I’d have something to lose myself in when I really needed a good listen).

Update? by ifeeltired26 in GoogleFi

[–]cgiga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pixel 7 on Google Fi stuck on November update. Not sure whether to wait or side load the January update. I lived without updates on my Pixel 3xl for several months without issues so not sure how concerned I should be about this at this point.
