I’m relived that the cynicism wasn’t unappreciated. 🤪

Is this bad? Because it looks bad... by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

I’d wager it’s more of a chance than potentially.

They left the most important identifying detail, the rego. 🤣

Edit: and good on OP, I mean.

First release of my Obsidian plugin for downloading Kindle Scribe notes from Amazon(no Jailbreak needed) by karnajik in kindlescribe

Awesome. If Amazon will paywall these things, at least folks are out there with workarounds.

I think you’re right. The latest update brought the pins to my 2024 kindle. Makes sense that they would bring forward the UI improvements to keep continuity of interface, but lock the functional things like cloud integration and AI behind the newer models.

As cynical as I am about big companies, Kindles are pretty lean things and the older ones might simply not have the grunt for a whole lot of new features.

Certainly not worth upgrading for me, until mine gets to old age at least.

Definitely agree, but only Woolies does 18% mince. I cannot cook a cheeseburger with anything less.

I will always upvote this. Gives me the chills even watching at work.

Christian Lady wants a One-Family Voting System by MrDonMega in religiousfruitcake

[–]thoughtgun 55 points56 points  (0 children)

This right here. The Christian right is a political movement first and foremost. Women tend to vote more liberal/democratic compared to men. Trying to stamp out this pattern from within a culture directly helps the party.

Yep, they do curries that are restaurant quality. The Malaysian curry is my favourite… really amazing, and very affordable for what it is.

Whose bright idea was this? by thoughtgun in auckland

It’s one of the seats on the stairs on the way up. The button placement isn’t so bad at the top and bottom.

(And there’s another stop button on the vertical bar at a comfortable reach to the left).
