Did they used to taste good? I just assumed it was one of those horrible things Americans eat that most of the world ignores, like American chocolate, plastic cheese and Red Delicious apples.
I've found the quality on Gutenberg varies massively - since an epub is basically a zipped html file, I've had plenty that are just barely-converted text files, with problems like incorrect character encoding and that everything's one big chapter.
Yup, roadie wrap those cables and maintain things well.
My laptop is nine years old and has done more travelling than most people and has been used at the beach, on boats and near a waterfall. It's needed new memory, the spinning drive replacing/upgrading to SSD and a new battery but I've never cared about cosmetic damage. It's also clean, because that's part of maintenance.
Unfortunately, just before that video aired Amazon broke jailbreaking with their 5.18.1 update (both for existing and new jailbreakers). WinterBreak is broken. Hopefully it can be worked around, but my guess will be that it's not going to be possible again.
I'm going to get a Kobo Clara BW and use Koreader on there.
It was a Flash animation originally. Many of his animations looped, but some of them had the issue that the sound and imagery weren't exactly the same length, so would go out of sync as it repeated.
I've researched this and I'll be buying a Kobo once my Kindle finally dies (it's lived a hard life). I've bought DRMed books from some non-Amazon sources and had to go through the steps to strip their DRM so I could read them on the Kindle - this was using Calibre. Mostly those other sources were using Adobe Digital Editions (DeDRM can handle it).
I have yet to find if there's a self-hosted option that would replicate what Amazon does - i.e. tracks read position and lets you download and read via an Android app or a website. I do have Calibre-web set up, but haven't fully looked into what it can do yet.
It's a by-election, i.e. voting in their replacement. The next election they'd have to fight for their seat as usual.
