Especially for new immigrants, it’s often a way to claim social legitimacy/approval by tying yourself to the traditions of your adopted society. “See, I’m one of the good ones!”

The ones who need to see this the most will not, I’m afraid.

Shit, great idea… I should’ve realized that sooner.

He was enabled by many of his fellow geriatrics from Congress in the first term.

I’m always very confused by the appeal of golf. I still don’t get it.

Both can be true. Minority blocs helped though. For example:

project it over onto the screen in our meeting room with two clicks is pretty awesome.

Didn’t know that was a feature, that’s pretty cool.

I have been looking at Boox, yes. Though their price range is seemingly not much better than reMarkable… I’m still waiting for a decent used market to develop around some of these newer models. I’m okay with being patient on e-ink tech.

Unfortunately, Texas does a great job of brainwashing a lot of people with Texan pride. Most of them are probably of the “Texas is the best” mindset.

Oh fantastic, nice to know!

Hollywood still doesn’t get it: Portraying Trump supporters as racist caricatures while he’s winning record minority support.

This is an important point, though. Trump’s win was in part because of successful propagandizing and winning a ton more minority votes than in 2020.

Ah thanks, not one for podcasts but good to be aware of!

It was a bunch of diagrams from old patents.

I’ve got my eyes on some Boox models, perhaps in a year or two if prices come down for the secondhand market. (Since I think they just released a new line not too long ago.) I’ve never had a tablet sized device (my e-reader is 6 inches), so it’d be an upgrade.

I’ve wanted one of those ever since seeing a professor use it… but their price point is intimidating. I’m also not a fan of being limited to certain cloud services (I use neither Google Drive nor Dropbox).

Still, it’s a pretty nifty device, and the pen capabilities seem the best of all of them.

Hell yeah! On my previous watch, I only got through almost 2 seasons, hopefully I will finish this time. I’ve forgotten a lot, so it’s kind of nice not knowing what to expect again.

You have Safeway in Canada? Doesn’t that defeat the point of not buying American?

I never even thought about the syncing capability with the Android e-ink options. I thought it was too much for a dedicated e-reader, but now you’ve got me thinking.

Interesting choice of screensavers.
