I've buy e-books on the Kobo Rakuten store (don't want to support Amazon), but then I just turn around and pirate them anyways. It's really much more convenient.

Do you go to the cloud district often? Oh what am I talking about, of course you don't!

If you look at a map of China and the Pacific you can see that the "first island chain" of US allies totally surrounds China. From their military and strategic point of view they are being contained.

Now if China were to control the island of Taiwan they would break that containment. It's very likely they care more about the strategic position rather than whatever it is they say about wanting to reunite with the Taiwanese. They don't give a shit about the Taiwanese, they just want the island.

It's absolutely insanity that this feature was removed. I stopped using Nautilus because of this.

Both are amazing RPGs. Highly recommend checking them out.

Kobo with KOreader is a great option. KOreader can connect to your WiFi and you can rsync your library to the device.

I actually got better performance in BG3 with my Arch system compared to Windows. The game crashes to desktop every 10 minutes in windows and runs relatively stable in Linux.

It's two people when it comes to Uber though (for now).

LiDAR, radar and infra-red may still perform worse on children due to children being smaller and therefore there would be fewer contact points from the LiDAR reflection.

I work in a self driving R&D lab.

Apple has a long history of never standing up to Chinese and Russian state demands. Not surprised seeing them giving in to Putin's censorship.

I think most people have given up and use subtitles on all the time.

I'm a millennial and I can't really tell the difference between SD and HD. Do you mean like when YouTube switches to 360p instead of 1080?
