Does this mean epubs won't stop and require a new page to load at the end of chapters / new file segments?

It's one of my biggest gripes switching from mobi single file ebooks to epub multi-file ebooks.

Should just append the next file and allow the flow to continue.

Been waiting for such a change for epub reading apps for many years.

Update: OMG yes, it works! (Not by default, scroll mode must be opted-in first via 3-dot menu)

Now I can maintain the same scroll while reading habits I do for online content, PDFs, and Mobi files while reading ePubs! Bout damn time!

This is now my default ebook reader everywhere!

Well, it certainly looks like it rained. Where are the missiles? Is that LA?

Meh.

I'm not saying don't watch it. But it's so much drama and family junk, I get bored pretty fast. Oh hey, a monster, that looks cool. Somebody unimportant dies. Ok, back to the drama.

I won't be rewatching it.

Spoiler alert:

That side story, like the others, helps increase the absurdity of the overall story, to show that not only the time traveling bit is unrealistic, the entire story and all it's parts are. Each party had a story that was equally absurd before the crazy time traveler showed up, but they were all still at that diner acting like they were still in the real world.... It's kinda like a snowball, the stories kinda ramp up to the conclusion, and they all tell different stories through the same lense in order to get there. Then it pulls from all those stories at the end to flip the script.

It was really well done.

Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die is probably going to be my favorite for the year. I expect to rewatch it a bunch over the coming years, like I did for Moon and like I still do for Mr Right (one that me and my SO will both sit and watch if I put it on).

It's like the Matrix, but funny.

10/10 100% recommend to anyone who likes oddball movies like Moon or Mr. Right, two other Sam Rockwell features.

It will probably go down as my favorite movie of the year. I'm not aware of anything else coming out that will be able to top it. It's a weird, kookie, action packed and fun sci-fi adventure.

I imagine that the Matrix would have been a lot like this movie, if it was funny.

10/10.... I passed over some bad reviews, but ignored them. Sam tends to do some pretty fun and kookie flicks, especially sci-fi, which is totally my bag.

This movie was a really fun ride!

I like the idea of a system add-on that randomizes all user age responses with a different date that equals like 25-99years old (assuming 25 years meets the highest age for the applicable standards).

Not too dissimilar from a random MAC address generating feature.

They aren't a public service, their goal is maximizing profits, the devices they manufacturer and the customer base they farm are just tools to that end.

Fairphone, on the other hand, is a Benefit corp, if I remember correctly.

While I oppose ICE, this is stupid.

The person chose to put themselves in front of a vehicle in motion which appeared to be moving to ensure it's occupants could escape an area where a clear threat to them was present. I don't care if the occupants were teens, drunk uncles, my grandma, or ICE. Fuck that idiot for getting on the hood or moving intentionally in front of that vehicle!

The vehicle occupants don't appear to have targeted anyone, so they get a pass. At least from what is shown in the video.

It's possible they had other exit opportunities that didn't put the peds in harms way, and chose to drive through them on purpose, and lf so that changes things, but that's not shown in the video.

 

I wake up to this every morning.
