Start with your local library. Mine lends tens of thousands of ebooks. It also has partnerships with other local libraries in the region that allow me to borrow from their collections as well.

I don’t think there is such a thing as inter-library loans for ebooks but you should be able to borrow from pretty much any library in the country if you are willing to wait for a paper copy to be shipped to your local branch. There may or may not be a fee associated with this but my local library allows me ten ILL requests a year for free.

Libraries are such an underrated and underutilized resource.

I liked the finale of Pitch Perfect. Not sure that really counts as a cover though.

Maoism <> Marxism.

So, yes, you are off-topic.

Not an accountant, but maybe they have expense them differently or across a different time frame depending on utilization.

While I completely agree with you, they have better lawyers and deeper pockets, so don’t be surprised if they somehow have it both ways.

Why would those colleges admit them? Any college worth attending already has more than enough qualified applicants.

I finally dropped YoutubeTV for the summer months because we are seldom watching tv over the summer, choosing to spend more time outside. I haven’t missed it at all. They’ll probably get me back next month when college football starts again but I’m leaning pretty hard towards dropping it again after the new year. The price increase, even though it hadn’t kicked in for me at the time was absolutely the catalyst.

I do too and it works great. Unfortunately, I tend to be on my iPad in the evenings or early mornings, so I get stymied.

I live out in the burbs but the loss of trees is why I haven’t pressed harder for my city to improve our road. We really needed sidewalks and bike lanes 20 years ago but our road has some of the last 100+year old Douglas firs in the city and I just know they will all come down with no thought because the “traffic manual” says that’s what’s required.

So instead everyone walks in the road which is absolutely unsafe and has led to one death already.

Oh come on. Who actually uses their phone to make calls? Muscle memory. As if.

Citation needed.

If the largest ad network on the planet were regularly getting peoples devices pwned just by watching a video, that would be front page news everywhere. Like even the cover of Rachel Ray magazine.

In the US they are a legal requirement now. I think starting with the 2019 model year.
