It would probably take a lot of work to make like a wizard for low tech people to use for jailbreaking, right? A relative has brain damage and used to be tech savvy but now gets uneasy about things like that. I could jailbreak it for her, specifically, but I keep thinking about people in her situation who were early adopters of ebooks and would love to keep using the same device but can't do steps like that anymore.

Sorry I asked this on your helpful comment! It just made me think of that kindle using relative. I second using that wiki and removing drm from all your books.

online glasses shops will sometimes have a "shop by face shape" section. I've used zenni's and it was fine.

https://www.zennioptical.com/b/glasses-for-oval-face I'm not the best for recs here since I've only used this site ever and got my frames from the eye doctor and lenscrafters before that.

One of my favorite tumblr memes. Sometimes, though, it gets posted after like a picture of a sexy dragon and it's like ...nah. Sexy dragon poster was posting dragon pics before and during the ban, and will continue until the heat death of the universe.

Were there boobs in pic 15 or something?

TBH I feel like maybe the wall of teen idols with a crucifix above them all tells a story I am not sure I want to hear.

But...having seen a lot of generic greige walls in my day, I admire something that's immediately so ugly to my eyes. Genuinely.

I guess it depends on how much effort goes into it, but odds are it'd be an easy cash grab so i assume it'd be way worse and also inherently obnoxious.

That came out of nowhere after a bunch of already known but reasonable advice. Was it written by AI and not checked for misinformation, or is it just spreading the cell phone radiation misinfo in an organic, human way, I wonder?

It must have sucked for your dad but part of me is happy that those sitcoms didn't entirely lie to me.

'Yo tengo papeles': Teacher detained by immigration agents in North Center day care (chicago.suntimes.com)
 

Video purportedly showed two federal agents pulling the woman out of Rayito de Sol Spanish Immersion Early Learning Center at 2550 W. Addison St. about 7 Wednesday morning.

At a rally Wednesday evening at Northcenter Town Square, elected officials voiced frustration with immigration enforcement in the city. Ald. Matt Martin (47th) said the parents from the school had arranged legal representation for Galeano, though they were unsure where she had been taken.

“If ever you feel despair in the coming days, look around you,” Martin said. “There were four [federal agents], but there are hundreds of us. ”
