It makes me so happy every time I see a thread that starts with the potential to get heated but ends up in normal conversation / being defused.

What I want to say is, the internet is a better place with y'all <3

(Edit: I thought I should contribute something to the subject at hand too so I'll just say, as an Ender owner, I'm quite jeallous of op's first layer.)

I respect that! Anyway, the dish looked delicious โ˜บ๏ธ

What type of potato did you use? I find the startchier varieties work best. When oiled meticulously they get crispy everywhere.

Mind you, I find them a hassle too.

Google boiled vs natural linseed oil before deciding! ๐Ÿ‘

I've enjoyed my kobo libra h2o a lot but PDFs can be a bit challenging with its compact screen size.

Big PDFs tend to drain the battery quite fast too but this may not be such an issue with larger models.

I use it with Calibre and my local library has some books available via Overdrive. Calibre can convert books from other formats to epub. PDF is trickier in my experience but other e-reader formats have worked without a hitch.

If your unfamiliar with Calibre you can give it a go before making any decisions and convert a few books with it or something. Not necessarily the prettiest software but it does everything I need it to and does it well.

Sidenote:

I'd be curious to try one of those chinese e-ink android tablets one day.

Edit:

The kobo/rakuten store is quite good too, no complaints.

There are apps that show teletext which, acording to some, are quite popular. It does somehow fit into a retro scifi aesthetic too if one's into that kind of thing ๐Ÿ˜„

The small ships are so cute... Do you have a shelf for them?

Now there's a hat I'd compliment!

Garden chair by Danish designer Peter Opsvik. It promoted the concept of "best position is next position" in regards to sitting posture and ergonomics. Actually pretty nice to sit in - worth trying out if you happen to see one irl.

True and if they're the cheapest on amazon, chances are that they will continue to develop holes faster than one can patch them up. I've had luck mending a couple of mine although it does require a delicate hand.

What kind of holes? If the material hasn't worn out to a thin sheet of nothing, mending is an option too and is even better in terms of BIFL / RRR mentality! Lots of techniques too from easy to decorative to unnoticeable.

Worn out shirts make e.g. great glove liners or tube scarves btw if you have a sewing machine and a few minutes to spare (and are into upcycling.)
