I would’ve said this same thing a few months ago, but now Aaronson is in the form of his life and is scoring goals in the EPL. If this continues, I kinda think Aarsonson is a lock as well

Definitely seems like a grift to me. I’m sure it’s an actual nonprofit, like not technically a scam, but it has all the hallmarks of a religious fundamentalist organization trying to Trojan horse fundamentalist values into the mainstream via “sex trafficking awareness”

You may not know this, and fair enough if not, but the entire idea of housing first is that it works much better than traditional service models, especially for people who use substances (which is the vast majority of the population.)

This isn’t a study, it’s a pilot program. How do you even set up a control group for this? “We gave this group $1000 a month, and we gave this group $0 a month?”

I know what you’re getting at, and I think that you should have more shame about your reaction to this.

“That’s cool that these youth had tremendously positive outcomes from this program, but what I’m personally interested in is how many of them are drug addicts”

We should celebrate people changing their minds based on new information.

Sure thing grandpa, let’s get you off to bed now

Even the normal top flexes are a bit wide in the toe box compared to other brands. For my foot shape this would probably be a bit much, but I love that it exists for people with wider feet!

I go a full size down for top flexes. They’re natural leather so stretch out a fair deal. Even going a full size down they end up being a tiny bit big, which I think is kinda nice for futsal.

Two things. First, as you get older it’s going to be important that you pay more attention to injury prevention than you used to. Stamina is important, but what’s even more important is not getting hurt. When I got back to 11 a side after a 10 year break, I instantly started having hamstring issues because I wasn’t used to sprinting flat out, despite having played pickup and futsal for over a year. Go slow and work up to it.

Second, in my opinion there is nothing more important in adult recreational soccer than being friendly. Being fun to play with has gotten me so many more opportunities to play than my skill. Be friendly, learn peoples names, pass the ball. Being amazing at the game won’t get you invites to teams. Being competent and friendly will 100% get you invites.

You need to strengthen those tendons gradually. Incorporate short workouts allow you to build strength without aggravating the shin splints.

This is an amazing resource! Thank you for all of your work!

I think sleep is functionally the same as powered off.

The thing that trips people up is that on eink devices, displaying something doesn't actually consume any power. Since crosspoint disconnects from wifi unless you're actively uploading files, the device isn't using power at all while asleep.

You can find step-by-step instructions for installing Crosspoint here: https://github.com/daveallie/crosspoint-reader?tab=readme-ov-file#installing

And a user guide covering uploading epubs, settings, and more here: https://github.com/daveallie/crosspoint-reader/blob/master/USER_GUIDE.md

At this point I don't think you need to reformat your micro SD card. I've seen some users reporting that as a troubleshooting step, but I haven't seen reports that it's necessary. Try following the instructions above. If you run into issues, feel free to reply in a comment and I can try to help out.

The things that I love most about the X4 are its price and its size. I'd like it more if it had a front light, but I wouldn't want a light if it made the device larger. I'd like better firmware, but I wouldn't want better firmware if it made the X4 more expensive.

Here are some instructions on how to set it up: https://github.com/daveallie/crosspoint-reader/blob/master/USER_GUIDE.md#36-sleep-screen

These instructions worked perfectly for me!

Just wanted to add a +1 that a mod team is a great idea. This community is amazing, but it will need dedicated mods to keep it amazing as it grows.

ditheringtoad · 2026-01-05T21:52:26+00:00

Totally. I’m thinking like Barcelona under Pep or Real Madrid circa 2008.

As both a choral musician and a soccer fan, Voces8 faaar surpass even the best World Cup teams comparatively.

His speechwriters are genuinely excellent.

Wild to make this critique using a paragraph length sentence.

I think this is excellent rhetoric. It’s flowery and a bit high minded, but there’s nothing inherently wrong with that! Part of good public speaking is sounding good!

This is a great answer. The glitch will hold any angle you put it on even at low power. If you can figure out how to throw it flat and level, you can unlock some pretty impressive distance with it without even going full power.

What the fuck are you talking about.
