I’ll give it a shot…
Reading this book you feel like you are racing through Europe at over 200mph with the wind whipping through your hair all while feeling like you are in a Time Machine and wanting to shake the world leaders and have them do something about Hitler’s rise of power in Motorsport all while flexing his (human)race-ending tendencies.
Highly recommend book to any fans of racing, and perhaps, of history. Fascinating read and a page turner!
And how can you change that as a lawmaker?
Edit: Of course this is meant to be a joke, because that’s the exact opposite of GOP. Capitalize on hate and drive hope into the bowels of hell.
Same opinion on Para-Olympics?
That $10 gift card should make things more even…
My font isn’t as noticeable with some books. This is a Project Gutenberg book, but recommend installing and checking it out. https://brailleinstitute.org/freefont
I’m strolling through clouds with Atkinson Hyperlegible (highly recommend!) font bold 2 and size 3
Does it need access to anything local? If not, you could run it as an AWS Lambda on a schedule.
Terrible headline. From article: “In an email to BI, a spokesperson for the City of Edinburgh Council said it is not moving tenants out of temporary accommodation to make way for Swifties.”
I’m reading Prequel and Heaven & Earth Grocery Store (my image attachment failed a few times)
They don’t know Dearborn.
Updated to latest OS. Pretty cool. Enjoying some good reading since I’ve been out of commission for a bit.
What are folks thoughts on putting in personal information in for device recovery?
I’ve typically just use my first letter of name and phone number for device name.
Does anyone do anything different? What information do you include?
Also, just realized that I did put a device PIN on it, so. It sure if any information would be helpful if I lost it and it were found
Sorry. I’m still not tolerating corrupt governing. If you do, that’s okay.
Going out on a limb here… we don’t tolerate it. There isn’t much stopping them though, esp with a stacked SCOTUS and GQP.
She should be removed from case and impeached.
I am reading ‘Prequel’ by Rachel Maddow. Great book. I came down with a terrible cold that has sidelined my ability to focus. Can’t read while not feeling well. Anyhow… I put myself back on ‘Libby waitlist’ for library loan.
In meanwhile, I figured it can’t returned if I put it into ‘Airplane-mode’; Is that right?
HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND HAPPY ALMOST NEW YEAR!!!
I find if I choose two radically different subjects, or genres, it is less challenging and doesn’t feel overwhelming. For instance, I was reading ‘The Republic’ by Plato and ‘The Nasty Bits’ by Anthony Bourdain last time.
Now I am reading ‘Prequel’ by Rachel Maddow (non-fiction) and ‘The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store’ by James McBride (fiction).
Are you a two-timer?
Started this book and am really enjoying it thus far. It is a great follow-up, or prequel, if you will, to her podcast ‘Ultra’. Fascinating story, and a warning…
Make a post. Engage. Interact. Show me your kindle. Converse in Lemmy Universe!
Have you looked into using pygame? Not sure how much your app is dependent on gtk3 vs. doing something graphical that can be generic.
My PW11g is super smudgy. Anyone have any advice on cleaning?
My device is currently naked, sleeveless and livin’ da dream!
Really enjoying it so far!
‘The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store’ by James McBride
Version 5.16.4 – October 2023
Here's what's new:
Goodreads: Streamlined experience to track reading progress.
Kids were getting ready for school and there was some downtime before I started for work. The dog was somehow calm (puppy warning... getting a puppy is just crazy -- it's like we have a new toddler!)
I read for a good 10 minutes, or so, and am going to hit the rest of that chapter tonight!
Hope everyone had a nice weekend, and a good start to your week...
I have to admit, I have not read in a bit, or posted for that matter... I think it is a little of parental exhaustion, back-to-school madness, busy at work, etc. I'm a little embarrassed, but I'd rather be up front about it than not.
This weekend sounds like a great time to pick up my Kindle and read even for a few minutes, a few pages...
I didn't realize that subscribers have ballooned here! Welcome everyone, and please, please, please contribute if you have time.
Have a great weekend all, and feel free to share your story of reading breaks, why you may have had one, what brought you back or what tools or tips you have for me or others...
Be kind to each other and read on!
It is possible that if a post contains a website url that domain name can be noted in post before selecting it? Only able to tell once I’ve opened post. Great for news or other interest. I may not open a post because of domain.
I was thinking exact same thing! Why not highlight him?!
Yep. Double Santa Claus Theory hard at work…
