What’s so messed up to me is that the implants I design, inactive pieces of metal, are required to be operable for the life of our longest living patient PLUS 20 YEARS. Yet somehow as soon as electronics are involved they can get away with this. How long until pacemakers or insulin pumps need a license to continue functioning?
This is why I have an issue with privatized medicine.
I’ll definitely give them a listen!
I also need to recommend, as you seem to be a brid of my feather, using audible and a kindle together to trade off between daytime story listening and nighttime reading in bed. I know Amazon is evil, and there are a lot of issues in particular with audible’s payment structure towards indie authors, but God damn do they offer a compelling service. I picked up a new-gen Paperwhite last prime day and my bedtime routine and travel bag has been irrepreably changed.
I’d love to hear more about what you’ve been listing to!
Edit: I didn’t make it clear above but Amazon will track your progress between the audiobook and the Kindle book and sync them.
I’d like to add the audiobooks are quite good for those who listen! They’re a very fun series (I’ve “only” been through the first 6, quite a few more after I checked.)
Huh. Seek help.
Well summarized!
The issue with FOSS software is it attracts people who use FOSS software. I’m not saying I want the reddit of 2021 back, but the reddit of 2016 would be nicer than the reddit of 2009 we are emulating now.
Once a few of us get our friends on board and we grow a touch more, I think Lemmy has a real chance of capturing some more of the “middle” tech literacy users, giving us some of what I, and I presume you, miss about Reddit.
Oftentimes they do not as it is quite expensive to make many kinds of “grey water” safe enough to be basically touched by golfers all the time. Being in the center of the desert with high water costs, it made sense in Arizona.
Regardless, keeping that much grass alive for such a small number of people to enjoy feels like a misalignment in priories of a local water authority to me. With the general trend towards water insecurities the world over I’m a bit upset with golf courses.
Exact opposite! I know the language was flowery there but I basically never eat Huel/Soylent anymore
In my experience none of them taste great, but if you make them part of your daily flow you get over it pretty quickly. I’ve heard good things about the newer pre-mixed and flavored ones, but I got to a good place with my nutrition a few years ago and stopped using pretty much all meal replacements.
I have a feeling it has more to do with low production cost than anything else sadly :/
