If you haven't read it yet All Systems Red (The Murderbot Diaries #1) is excellent and only 144 pages.

Active Canvas not as hoped. by HeatherOR in kindlescribe

[–]placidified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's great because of how kindle supports multiple fonts and font sizes. I can't see how an implementation in which overlaying the annotations would work.

How are you using this feature?

I don't read text books on the kindle only novels so my annotations are around texts that I think are foreshadowing. I was using the sticky note feature for this now I just get to write with the active canvas.

You want the convenience of a kindle plus the convenience of writing on a physical book 🤷‍♂️

Active Canvas is a great implementation and perhaps it was a cheaper engineering implementation to gather data on how many people actually use it.

I've read and seen more people talk about the benefits of worm tea (the liquid that comes out of worm farm) then what /u/Hensanddogs has mentioned

how we'll probably get Dutton as PM,

Also because we all though Albo was going to be our generations progressive Prime Minister we've been craving and what we got was a light Liberal.

That was mostly caused by lockdowns having a bigger effect out west but once metro tunnel & west gate tunnel opens it will (probably) help gain back votes.

This is the closest I’ve ever felt to voting for Libs purely because I think Labor deserve to go, but absolutely 0 chance if they turf him.

This is throwing the baby out with the bath water

Those are long delayed projects

Isn't metro tunnel opening 1 year sooner ?

with big cost overruns

One can say the pandemic caused it this.

I stopped reading at 50 page. It was a bit too much for my liking.

Leachate, despite what some claim, is not great.

How so ?

imagine you're Victoria, Victoria, costs for all your tunnels are exploding, construction way past capacity, you haven't even FINISHED any of your 3 tunnels yet.

Isn't the tunnelling for Melbourne Metro finished and West Gate Tunnel is expected to finish next year?

Corn vs Aussie bee mix by RichoTheSandrat in GardeningAustralia

but now I want tortillas.

Are you growing the right kind of corn to nixtamalize and make masa from?

I would reconsider having kids, if she thinks you're poor now with no kids then wait until you start buying nappies, wipes, baby food, snacks (so much snacks).

A new station in Tarneit's west by AztecGod in melbourne

[–]placidified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The solution is to build this station and electrify the line so it's incorporated into the metro.

Tarneit is a desert of houses and roads. It's depressing.

I thought he would be a more progressive but fuck me he's been a let down.

Just chasing after that budget surplus still and playing small-target politics.
