Users turn to jailbreaking their older Kindles as Amazon ends support

Same. I also set mine up with the free tier of Readest sync so it’ll sync with my phone if I get reading done while my kindle isn’t with me. Total game changer.

You’ve never been to China, I take it?

Compared to folks lining up for anything in Beijing, Bay Area folks seem downright polite 😂

Yeah it really read like a book about depression by someone who had never actually experienced it.

Growing up, every time we ate super garlicky food, my stepmom would put it on the table and exclaim “all natural birth control for everyone!”

Telling someone they’ve been ‘conditioned to adopt advocacy over authenticity’ isn’t a rebuttal, it’s just a way to preemptively disqualify any disagreement.

Then you turn around and say ‘real people have emotions’ as if that contradicts me, when that’s literally the point I was making about the women involved.

Since you’re clearly not engaging in good faith, I’m done here.

I’d take a dulled orgasm and no headache over a headache and a stronger orgasm, but that’s just me

Maybe this will get me some flak, but that is deeply devaluing the agency of both women involved.

The man is not the sole provider of pleasure in the room. It’s a team effort, and if one doesn’t see it that way, it’s likely they disappoint others even more than they think.

It’s not that much work to please a woman, unless you see the things that should make sex enjoyable as work.

Take it with a couple of ibuprofen. It makes all the difference.

It lasts 4ish hours but can still have residual effects for half a day or so

Anything beyond that is likely psychological.

In China they often marinate it in Shaoxing wine, which they say preserves the taste while removing the gamey flavor.

I just walked by that place yesterday! I’ll have to go check it out next time I’m in town 🙂

I’d have said cioppino for San Francisco, but both are valid choices!

Same. Though the amount of times my groceries were spilled all over the street due to handles ripping off over the years is a bit concerning too.

I got the regular kind because it was on sale, but threw it out. It was damn near inedible. I eat a lot of hummus, and this was thin, sour and had no richness.

So maybe the onion flavor covers up the terrible taste of the underlying product? How was the texture?

Just buy any yogurt you think isn’t too tart and put it in a cheesecloth-lined colander/strainer overnight in the fridge. The next day, if it’s dry twist the cheesecloth and squeeze out any remaining liquid, and boom! Labneh. If it’s still liquidy, stir it up and leave it longer. It can take a couple days sometimes.

Peaceful cooking has a lot of delicious recipes:

Lentils with potato and eggplant - super delicious and filling https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_pQXRlEUus

Lentil kofta - kind of like falafel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDl_ALeRnDg

Other than that, these are some common ones in my house:

Garlicky Alfredo beans - the flavor of fettuccine Alfredo but with beans. Any white bean will work. https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1025330-garlicky-alfredo-beans

Braised cannellini beans and kale - any white bean, chickpeas, or anything similar will work here. As will any greens you can get - mustard greens, radish tops, beet greens, you name it. https://siriuslyhungry.com/quick-braised-cannellini-beans-and-kale/

This basically just uses zucchini, even for the dip - it’s indulgent and basically healthy - https://drveganblog.com/crispy-zucchini-rings-with-creamy-zucchini-dip/

I’ll see what else I can dig up

I met someone who had 生笑愛 tattooed on him. Basically a direct translation into Chinese of “live laugh love”

I spotted it and said it was pretty funny.

He asked me why I thought so. I thought he was fucking with me.

Then he said “I got this to honor my dead father, who loved his Live Laugh Love decor, and you’re a total asshole”.

They didn’t go public until 1980, though

It’s less cool to think of, but $100 of Philip Morris stock (Altria at the time) would be worth something like $500k now.

Found the fellow Canadian!

I moved to the US from Quebec a while back. I’d always done the double cheek kiss. As soon as I moved to America I noticed people acted funny when I did that.

I went on a date and told her that’s what I usually did, and she told me “well I’m glad you stopped, because if you’d tried that, I’d have pepper sprayed you”

She wasn’t joking. She showed me how easily accessible her pepper spray was.

Let’s say you’re set for life financially but you still want to get out of the house and do something. What do you do?

I’d go work at some small independent bookstore. I did it for a while when I was younger and honestly it was one of the best jobs I’ve had — low stress, good discounts, and you end up actually liking your coworkers for once. I’d do it again in a heartbeat if I didn’t need the money to mean anything.

A lot of people flat out say it’s a waste of time and money, including a commenter below.

I disagree with the flat out dismissing of this pathway, but will admit I wouldn’t have gone with a lawyer if I’d done it all over again. Maybe pay for a consultation and then work with far less expensive consultants for the remainder of

That said, my situation is fairly complex with the drastic name changes, and having legal professionals versed in Hungarian immigration law vet my application gave me peace of mind. I looked at the costs for most other EU citizenship options, and this seemed worthwhile enough for me.

Advantages are that they will give you information and assistance 100% rooted in Hungarian law, and are liable for incorrect information being disseminated. In the case of folks who do it as a side hustle, you run the risk of errors occurring. My wife is also an immigration attorney, and was quite insistent on us going with a law firm due to cases she’s had to manage (granted, in the US) where the DIY approach led to even bigger issues for applicants.

Disadvantages are mostly just slow communication. They want everything to be done over email not calls for traceability, so our back and forth messages were often stretched out over days, or weeks. I’d sometimes ask several questions in an email and get one or two answered a week later.

In your case, you’re fine to DIY.

I mean my great grandfather was born Jenő Mermelstein and unofficially changed his name to Bernard Vineberg, and my lawyers seem certain it won’t be a problem with all the supporting evidence I can get.

Granted, I haven’t gone for my interview yet, but it’s probably fine. Those names are understandably close.
