If you choose not to decide (or vote) you still have made a choice. Biden voters who refused to vote Harris chose to let the rest of the country decide for them. They will be worse off for it. Hopefully they learn from this but I doubt it.
Four years ago you couldn’t buy toilet paper. Are some people worse off than under Trump 1.0? Of course. Is more than half the country worse off? Fuck no. People have goldfish memories and Dems did a terrible job touting their wins that did make Americans better off under Biden.
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.
Forgetting where we are for a minute, if you’re willing to throw your local PBS station a fiver every month, you’ll help keep these programs available for those who can’t afford to pay (or can’t even afford a computer) and get online access to all the adult PBS shows through their app.
Some of us old timers remember the bad old days when a CD with two songs you actually liked cost $17.99 (about $35-40 in today’s dollars). As bad as Spotify and others are it sure beats what we had before.
It was definitely available in the US App Store earlier this year because I have it installed on both of my iOS devices. I can’t find any info as to when and why it was removed.
I agree completely with your review of Magic Earth. I will say that I keep some maps on my phone in Organic Maps as well. They are easier for me to follow when hiking on forest trails. When we went trailblazing on snowshoes, it made finding our way back to the main route simple.
The sweet spot lies somewhere between 360p and 4k HDR. Individual tastes vary.
Because my hands are filthy. I don’t want to get my phone all sticky/muddy/bloody or anything else you can imagine.
The SC said states should be able to decide because there was no federal legislation one way or the other. Once a federal ban is in place, the states will lose the ability to decide for themselves.
