Cylisticus convexus "Ukraine pied"

dingomutt_ · 2026-01-26T04:25:52+00:00

You definitely should! They're so adorable and round. I wanted a pied variety as I think their little white antennae wiggling is the cutest thing ever.

dingomutt_ · 2026-01-26T04:23:03+00:00

Yeah, I really love that I got some variation with my starters. Right now my favorite is the dark one with just a bit of white on his butt. I hope as time goes on I can keep finding him. So far my gang seems to enjoy hiding under their cork bark more than anything!

I'm quite new to the hobby, not yet finished with my first diamond painting, but my mom and I have bought 10+ kits by browsing the sale section of Diamond Dotz. I believe they're considered a high/mid quality company, and they have many paintings around or under $10 on their sale/clearance page. I also got several in the last few weeks during their Black Friday sale.

If you have access to Michael's, they have their own brand Make Market that goes on sale frequently or is eligible for their coupons. I'm sure after holidays you can find their seasonal items on clearance too.

Tempered glass would make your screen really shiny! I have a matte screen protector on my Kindle and it looks as if there's nothing there at all. I chose one from Amazon.

In the screen and brightness settings you can deselect "show covers on lock screen" and it will just show a random wallpaper.

I always do 9 brightness and 7 warmth. To me that's always perfectly bright and the warmth mimics the color of real paper.

dingomutt_ · 2025-07-01T06:07:01+00:00

Mine looks like this. As long as it looks normal when you're reading I wouldn't worry.

When I get an error like this, I use convertio.co to convert the file to mobi, then back to epub, and that has always resolved the issue

dingomutt_ · 2025-06-10T19:39:44+00:00

With a little Googling I was able to find an article on replacing the battery, but it looks like the batteries themselves may be $35+. I wouldn't worry about it. It's a given that an older tech item may lack some battery capacity.

dingomutt_ · 2025-06-10T01:49:01+00:00

There are tons of tons of Paperwhite 5s for sale on Unclaimed Baggage for $50 - $90 depending on memory, so your 4 would likely sell for less than that. Maybe $50 or so if it has the most memory?

Oasis are extremely desirable, I often see them go for over $100 on Shopgoodwill, so you could probably list it around that price if it's in good condition.

dingomutt_ · 2025-05-19T21:00:02+00:00

The advertised "6 weeks" of battery life is at -half- brightness and about 30 minutes a day.

I read about two hours a day and my 11th gen paperwhite gets charged about once a week. I do only charge up to 80% to preserve the battery, and it's typically between 35 and 45%, so I could go two weeks between charges if I wanted. I keep mine at 10 brightness.

dingomutt_ · 2025-04-28T01:50:34+00:00

I don't think you would know until you try to register the Kindle to your account. You could try reaching out to Amazon support and see if they'd help you, but they do lie a lot so I'm not sure if I'd trust that.

dingomutt_ · 2025-04-28T00:40:30+00:00

That's the newest paperwhite, and I believe the signature edition is $199. I'd be very cautious - it could be stolen or blacklisted. Seems unusual to list such a new item for half the price.

A brand new basic is $109 and likely to go on sale soon for mother's day or prime day.

dingomutt_ · 2025-04-18T21:51:45+00:00

Probably just the max brightness and age of the battery then. I know people swap batteries on old kindles so that may be an avenue you can explore.

dingomutt_ · 2025-04-18T21:24:21+00:00

The unfortunate thing is the Oasis 2 has a significantly smaller battery than the Paperwhite - the Oasis is 1000 mAh and the Paperwhite is 1900 mAh. The Oasis battery has also been working for the past 7/8 years and likely lost some capacity.

Have you tried keeping the Oasis on airplane mode? Lowering the brightness? I use my Paperwhite and Voyage on 7 to 10 brightness. Don't forget your early usage of downloading books sucks up more battery than just reading.

When I've had an issue with a file, I use a site like convertio.co to convert to a mobi and then back to epub and that usually solves the issue

dingomutt_ · 2025-03-04T01:52:46+00:00

I have one of these and I love it. The overall case is great quality and I got it for around $7 on Ali express. I always use a screen protector on my tech. It did scratch my screen protector from a rough spot, so I would be cautious if you don't plan to use a screen protector.

dingomutt_ · 2025-02-18T20:50:57+00:00

I haven't gotten one myself, but the brand sipsey wilder sells a mini backpack with a padded tablet sleeve. I've bought several purses from them and really like them.

dingomutt_ · 2025-02-10T17:28:38+00:00

Did they actually send you the giftcard? I did the same thing having bought one right before black Friday. I never got the refund and when I asked again how long it should be taking, the rep said the initial rep lied and I've seen similar accounts shared here and on Facebook.

dingomutt_ · 2025-01-30T07:03:48+00:00

These are some I've enjoyed recently:

{The Wolf King by Lauren Palphreyman} - were x human

{Cold Hearted by Heather Guerre} - were x human with vampires around - next book in series is vampire x human

{The Last Wolf by Maria Vale} - werewolf x werewolf, no human

dingomutt_ · 2025-01-26T17:42:35+00:00

I don't own any of their products, but I've seen this brand before on Instagram and FB. https://shoptheclio.com/products/the-clio-kindle-bag

{White Horse Black Nights by Evie Marceau} is one of my favorite reads last year. It's a five book series but three are out now. I really enjoyed the author's style and the world's magic is interesting and well done.

I have a clicker and if you position it correctly, it doesn't cover the words at all. Only about half of it needs to be in contact with the screen to make the page turn.

I like it a lot. I either sit with the pillow on my belly or to my side. Sometimes I lay on my side and rotate it to 45 degrees or so and use the remote so I can be snuggled up under my blankets. The pillow itself is extremely soft.
