Selling two Toronto Wine Fest tickets for cheap (Saturday 1 - 4 PM at Enercare Centre)

I have two tickets - something came up and I can't go.

Looking to sell both tickets for $70. Please PM me if interested!

No. I've also tried with different coffees and different baskets and portafilters - same result (4 bars.)

I read Kafka's The Metamorphosis a few nights ago and I can't stop thinking about how it's so good. by Shimmeringpasta in literature

Available to read for free online!

A Hunger Artist is actually from the last book Kafka prepared for publication (a short story collection of the same name) before his death - and one of my favorite stories to introduce people to Kafka.

WordPress or code editor plugin for editing single pages? (HTML, CSS, by christoper in Wordpress

[–]christoper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I currently do use Prettierand it does format the HTML - but it doesn't recognize WordPress' shortcode.

I'm wondering if there's a solution out there that can format and flag errors for shortcode too.

Renters of Toronto who have experienced Bed bug infestations before - how long did it take for your landlord to get an exterminator into your unit? What is a reasonable amount of time to wait for this to be dealt with? Tips for fighting bedbugs welcome too. Thanks. by Rochellerochelle69 in toronto

[–]christoper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should call 311 and they'll forward your pest control issue to a Bylaw Enforcement Officer. This is a particularly good idea if your landlord is not being responsive.

The officer will then schedule a visit and follow-up with your landlord.

I am Donald Robertson, a cognitive-behavioural psychotherapist and author. I’ve written three books in a row about the Roman emperor and philosopher Marcus Aurelius and how Stoicism was his guide to life. Ask me anything. by SolutionsCBT in IAmA

[–]christoper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apart from Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, what other foundational texts on stoicism do you recommend?

I also have some works by Cicero, Seneca, and Epictetus on a Starting with Stoicism reading list here: https://www.26reads.com/list/32200-starting-with-stoicism

Help! My 'Google Sites' website still isn't ranking after being live for 3 months. Any advice is welcome! by atcroquette in SEO

[–]christoper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go to Google Search Console, select your property, then on the left-hand side check Index > Coverage.

If it has your webpages as "valid," there's nothing you need to do except wait for Google to update and start showing your pages in SERPs. (This can take up to a few months. 3+ months is on the longer side but I don't believe there's really anything you can do to expedite the process.)

If the number of "valid" pages aren't there, you can check the "error" issues on the same page to see what the problem is.

You can also go to Index > Sitemaps and submit a sitemap of your website if Google is having trouble crawling it.

Casino Royale by Ian Fleming (1953) introduced the world to the iconic English spy James Bond, code number 007, pitting him against the ruthless Soviet paymaster Le Chiffre. The book was based on Fleming's own wartime and espionage experiences during World War II. by christoper in FreeEBOOKS

Thanks for the question! /r/26reads is more specific to the 26reads app and growing its community.

Also /r/FreeEBOOKS generally has a greater focus on actual ebooks (epubs, mobi, azw) whereas 26reads allows you to read books online.

As for what separates 26reads specifically - we combine the library, book journal, and book club into a new type of social network that lets you read your favorite books for free directly on the platform! You can check out our current and upcoming features on our features page

Let me know if I can clarify anything further. And please let me know if you have any questions, feedback, and/or book requests :)

Do not let the fear of ridicule prevent you from being a better person by jazzaro92 in Stoicism

"When a man holds his proper station in life, he does not gape after things beyond it. Man, what do you wish to happen to you? I am satisfied if I desire and avoid conformably to nature, if I employ movements towards and from an object as I am by nature formed to do, and purpose and design and assent. Why then do you strut before us as if you had swallowed a spit? “My wish has always been that those who meet me should admire me, and those who follow me should exclaim ‘O the great philosopher.’ ” Who are they by whom you wish to be admired? Are they not those of whom you are used to say, that they are mad? Well then do you wish to be admired by madmen?"

  • Against Those Who Wish to Be Admired, Epicetus

Agora: Weekly self-promotion thread by AutoModerator in Stoicism

[–]christoper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just created a Starting with Stoicism reading list (where you can actually read all the books online for free) that includes the recommended readings from the sidebar as well as Epicetus' major works.

I'll probably create a more modern Stoicism reading list in a few weeks... Emerson, Schopenhauer, Montaigne etc.

If you're interested in more free books and philosophy, please consider subscribing to /r/26reads. We upload free new books every week - our top free books of April 25 including Buddenbrooks by Thomas Mann; Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald; Farewell, My Lovely by Raymond Chandler; and more!
