NGL, I have thought far more frequently lately to move to Canada or see if Canada will adopt the whole state.

Those are pretty solid and bold colors.

Oh believe me I’m trying. I will usually cross-post things I’m selling, but I don’t get anywhere near the interest I’m my 104,000 person statistical area.

I am so upset that FB killed Craigslist, that is basically the only reason I use it regularly anymore. My feed has basically been taken over by right wing influencer bots otherwise.

Sure, but this resets that last 2 months momentum.

I don’t think he’s actually done, but I think this move does make it harder for republican Political gamesmanship.

My guess is because the amount of “recovery” needed is uncertain. Are they just being monitored for head trauma but otherwise have nothing beyond scrapes and bruises? Or do they have broken bones and a severe concussion?

Sooo, not such a fun guy?

Look at how often grindr crashes during right wing events. It’s already political, maybe just not in the back end.

I just set up a Asus ZenWifi BE14000 to replace an old eero setup. I like it so far and haven’t experienced anything weird. I liked that it didn’t gate all the traffic shaping, new user notifications, and security behind a subscription paywall.

I don’t have an easy answer. Amazon was the 1 ton gorilla in the room so that was the one I was familiar with, but I will try to update this comment as I find information out.

Kobo: Seems like it’s yours to keep without resale or transfer rights. (https://download.kobobooks.com/learnmore/kobo1_pdf/Kobo_eReader_Terms_of_Use.pdf)

Google: Yours to keep provided the authorized agent and Google themselves maintain rights to provide it. (https://books.google.com/intl/en/googlebooks/tos.html)

B&N Nook: seems to be more in line with Amazon (https://www.nook.com/services/cms/doc/us/en_us/legal/nook-store-terms.html#ItemsPurchases)

Smashwords: seems more like ownership without transferability. (https://www.smashwords.com/about/tos)

According to the terms, when you purchase a Kindle e-book, you are buying a license to access the content rather than owning the book outright. And the only reason they made it explicit is CA law AB 2426. So you can “access” it on any device that can display their content, be it an app or hardware device, but you can’t possess it via a download for example. (I find this all to be bullshit, I’m just stating Amazon’s position on the topic)

This is a big part of why I have a kobo, the files are easy to scrub of the DRM but I’m still getting an easy way to throw money at creators I value.

Do you have access to an old kindle device? That makes it pretty easy with Calibre and the noDRM plugin.

It was easier when you could download it to your computer, but Amazon disabled that last year because so many people were removing the DRM.

I’ll give you a heads up that site has some “interesting“ stuff if you start at the top level, but the A-to-Z listing and individual games pages seem to be pretty solid and are well formatted.

That is an awesome die.

Dice-play.com is a really good resource. We play a lot of farkle (older scoring, not the commercial version), and Yahtzee, but lately we’ve been playing Ship, Captain, Crew; Knockout; and Centennial with the kids.

Nice! What game?

It occurs to me as well that the “completeness” of this amused me too.

• 1 tin
• 1 ~$5 package of dice
• 1 print
• 1 pencil from IKEA, your local golf course or wherever
• 1 pocketmod printout of games sized to fit the tin (a work in progress)

No spare parts, it’s all complete.
