Especially if you’re new to reading, the books worth reading are the ones you enjoy reading.

Like anything else reading is a skill and you get better at it the more you do it. There’s a reason we don’t start kindergarteners on Tolstoy and Shakespeare.

There are great suggestions in this thread so I’m not going to suggest any more. But I’d recommend to start every new book with an open mind, but if you’re not “feeling it” by page 10 or 20 it’s 100% okay to put it down and try a different one.

You can always come back to it later. Or not. There are more “must read” books than can ever be read in a lifetime. Find the ones you enjoy and which make an impact on you.

Most likely scenario in my opinion too.

Yeah I’m going to show my age here. But I’ve migrated from fidonet (bbs days) to Usenet. To slashdot. To digg. To Reddit. To Lemmy. And I’m 100% positive one day I’ll migrate again.

I’ve heard from someone in the military that they teach you to scan from right to left and bottom to top if you have to stand watch/guard.

It probably stops your brain from going on autopilot.

I mean you can say the same for spinning magnetic platters. “The more bits you’re trying to squeeze into a fixed size HDD the less robust it is.”

I’m not saying these guys can do it, but dismissing higher densities of storage out of hand seems a bit glib considering the last 60 years of progress and innovation.

What has Monty Python ever done for us?

Yeah that would suck. Also how much is that discount?

Android wellness tracker says between 2 and 4 hours each day. Lower on weekdays… More on weekends.

That’s pretty much back up to Reddit levels from a year ago.

20% torrent and 80% stremio with real debrid.

Stremio and RD is just so easy. Torrent for anything I really want to keep forever in very high quality.

Compared to loading ads? Most people will see an overall speedup when blocking ads even with the extra overhead.

Brandt can’t watch, though, or he has to pay a hundred.

Shook me early in the evening long.
