There’s actually a term for this kind of behaviour. It’s called a desire path.

Can’t go wrong with just about any Studio Ghibli film.

Support is kind of topical at the moment if you’re deep into the Kindle Store. Honestly, it’s bullshit to get you to buy a new device.

Kindle e-readers and Kindle Fire tablets from 2012 or before will no longer have access to the Kindle Store to buy, borrow, or download new books or content.

Which models are losing support?

• Kindle Paperwhite 1st Generation (2012)
• Kindle 5 (2012)
• Kindle Touch (2011)
• Kindle 4 (2011)
• Kindle Keyboard (2010)
• Kindle DX and DX Graphite (2009 and 2010)
• Kindle 1st Generation (2007)
• Kindle Fire HD 8.9 (2012)
• Kindle Fire HD 7 (2012)
• Kindle Fire 2nd Gen (2012)
• Kindle Fire 1st Gen (2011)

If you happen to read manga on your phone, you may be surprised how capable your old ereader might actually be.

It’s open source software that lets you read epubs and cbz files natively without conversions, bypass Amazon’s “Send to Kindle” feature, and came at a time when Amazon was removing books from people’s devices. Koreader also has Calibre plugin support to transfer books that way as well (though this isn’t something I haven’t set up just yet).

Overall it provides a bit more granular control over your devices if you like to tinker, and provides an extended lifeline for devices Amazon may have stopped supporting.

I installed Koreader on my Kindle Paperwhite 3 a couple months ago, and it has made me use my device so much more now. There’s only 3GB of storage to play with, so it’s not like I can carry my manga and comic libraries with me, but it’s breathed new life into my epub collection. Honestly, most useful upgrade I’ve made in a long time.

There’s coffee in that [capillary cup].

I imagined a Coyote/Road Runner situation in which the coffin slid down the cliff, through a loop-de-loop, then rocket back up an incline into the air.

It’s been a long time, but I think I remember Witch Hunter Robin having a similar-ish feel having also been produced in the 2000s.

Maybe, but users are willing to organize and provide the discovery service for free.

I think they’d let it keep going to keep tabs on which websites to tattle to the authorities.

He decided to let 4,000 people go all at once because “repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead.”

Ah yes, the Thanos Snap Method.

Engage the Kessler Defense Syndrome System!

I heard this is the line for tacos.

It’s called legalese.

Whenever I’m in too deep in an online argument I’m comforted by the wise words of one Rick Sanchez:

“Your boos mean nothing, I’ve seen what makes you cheer.”

*gasp* TV’s Frank is back!

I can accept that he’s an asshole now more than him being an asshole then. Fame and fortune gets to everyone’s head sooner or later.

It’d be kind of neat to take the battery from your old vehicle and port it to your new one. An automotive BYOB, if you will.
