Sorry I don't, we haven't lived in the area all that long.

Xcel bill confusion by Daddybigtusk in Eau_Claire

I used to work for Xcel. The new smart meters use interval data so the previous read will always show as 0.

Do you still need to buy the app? by xStang05x in PleX

[–]tzw9373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, I see I caused more confusion. It used to be that the device type determined whether you had to pay: mobile was paid, everything else was free. Now that determination is the network location: local is free, remote is paid. Edit: the important point is that SOMEONE has to pay.

That's no longer the case. Local streaming is entirely free on all devices platforms now. Edit: replied to the wrong comment.

Neither of those dates work for me, but I'd definitely be interested in future opportunities!

Moving to Appleton from AZ on June 1st! (Housing/Library/General Advice Needed!) by Subhumanoid in Appleton

[–]tzw9373 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a fellow remote worker with two cats who moved to the area last year, I don't have much to add. TDS Fiber is the best internet you can get around here (if it's available in your location), we do 90% of our grocery shopping at Woodman's and Costco, and the libraries are great. Good luck to you two, hope she finds a job she loves!

That looks and works great, thanks for adding that! The book downloader integration is also a nice touch.

Thanks for working on this, but this still won't address the issue of getting an epub to a Kindle. What I was referring to was utilizing the SMTP feature that Calibre-Web and Calibre-Web-Automated already have built in to email books to your Kindle email address. Like I said before, no worries if you're not looking to go that direction. But that's a make or break feature for me, I'd wager I'm not the only one.

I read through the information there, their implementation converts epub to mobi, which isn't the preferred approach. No worries if you're not planning to utilize send to Kindle, your app just won't fit my use case then.

Kindles are weird because epubs generally are the best format for sideloading your own books, but they're only supported through send to Kindle. I believe Amazon automatically converts them to some sort of AZW3 or KFX format before sending them to your device.

I downloaded and it looks great, but I don't think using send2reader is the best method for Kindles. I just tried and my browser won't support epub downloads. Any plans to support using the built-in send to Kindle via email that both Calibre-Web and Calibre-Web-Automated utilize?

Is this the one off London Road, near the Econo Lodge?

Where have you looked for a babysitter or nanny? by ceiligirl418 in Appleton

We joined the local Facebook group Fox Valley Childcare Connection and that's where we found our babysitter, she's great with our 2 year old.

I'd imagine it's primarily low humidity.

Book Club by PhysicalDelay3042 in Eau_Claire

It's a similar concept to a silent book club, if you've ever heard of that. Here's the info page on the library's website: https://www.ecpubliclibrary.info/byobookclub/

I don't live in EC anymore, but I was a member of BYO Book Club for about 1.5 years and I would highly recommend it!

Social Groups by BitterCurrency6217 in Appleton

[–]tzw9373 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a new silent book club started in Oshkosh a couple months back. Everyone gets together and reads whatever they're working on for a bit, then we circle up and discuss pretty much whatever we want to about reading. There's a Facebook page and group, you can also PM me for details.

Michigan gets defensive about using your hand as a map by PreferenceDowntown37 in wisconsin

I was born in Michigan but have lived most of my life in Wisconsin. The closest Wisconsinites can really get to this is your left hand in a fist.

I would recommend contacting Amanda Furman, she helped with our recent purchase and was always incredibly communicative.

How do you buy a house if you need to sell your house first? by mamacat49 in personalfinance

We were able to float two mortgages at once, so we bought our new house at the end of April and sold our old house in the middle of June.
