My Gen 2 only had whispernet, which relied on the Sprint EVDO network, both of which no longer exist (the company and the network type).

FWIW, Amazon deprecated mobi files recently and epub is the new "sideload" standard. You still have to email the file to the kindle address to be able to read them, or convert to azw3.
If you're already using Calibre, check out Calibre-Web, which essentially uses a Calibre database as the back end. The interface is so much nicer than Calibre.
With a wifi fridge for example I can know if it stops working
You can also do that with a simple smart plug with energy monitoring. You can get a 4 pack for $35.
Have you seen how expensive bootstraps are these days?
Roe v. Wade worked, until it didn't. Legalizing something via SCOTUS has lately proven to be as permanent as the political views of a majority of the justices on that bench.
The only correct way to fix this problem is via a Constitutional amendment, and that's never going to happen because Republicans have rage boners for state-sponsored killing, or in this case, murder.
He did love England, but was born, lived and died on a different "island": Rhode Island.
Proton purchased SimpleLogin in 2022 and the creator/dev has been working there ever since. Also, you can easily create random email aliases in Vaultwarden/Bitwarden via the SimpleLogin API.
Another vote for Runbox. Been using them for almost 5 years now with no issues. They are also an employee owned co-op if that is of interest.
See Dick run. See Jane run. See Sally run. See Spot run.
See Dick run with scissors. See Jane run with scissors. See Sally run with scissors. See Spot run with scissors.
Spot is a good dog.
Spot runs in front of Jane. See Jane trip. See Jane fall. See Jane fall on her own scissors.
Oh no, Jane!
See Dick trip over Jane. See Dick fall. See Dick fall on his own scissors.
Oh no, Dick!
See Sally trip over Dick. See Sally fall. See Sally fall on her own scissors.
Oh no, Sally!
See Spot panic. See Spot stab Dick. See Spot stab Dick 13 times.
Oh no, Spot!
Spot is a bad dog.
It's more that it challenged me so much that the gut-wrenching horror has been burned into my memory to the extent that I don't need to watch it ever again.
The reality was much worse. The movie was based on a short story written by "Seita" (Akiyuki Nosaka) as a fantasy, apologetic version of what actually happened, in that in the fantasy, he actually gave his starving sister some of his food, but in reality, he ate it himself:
Nosaka said that in the story, Seita "got increasingly transformed into a better human being" since he was trying to "compensate for everything I couldn't do myself" and that he was never "kind like the main character."
Nosaka explained that "I always thought I wanted to perform those generous acts in my head, but I couldn't do so." He believed that he would always give food to his sister, but when he obtained food, he ate it. The food tasted very good when it was scarce, but he felt remorse afterwards. Nosaka concluded, "I'd think there is no one more hopeless in the world than me. I didn't put anything about this in the novel."
There Will Be Blood is another one-and-done for me, for similar reasons; the human cost of human selfishness and greed. Also, the atonal, discordant soundtrack of TWBB is amazing, and fits the story perfectly, but is also really, really uncomfortable.
The internet certainly forgets...but a Usenet service with good retention will remember for about a decade
