For anyone that was using the beta previously-
Loading remote images and the 3 dot menu for Reply and Forward is now working so the beta now seems full function. That was my number one complaint when I was moved over to the beta branch (guess I forgot that I signed up for it).

I read a lot of fantasy with muskets and such. It’s even called Flintlock Fantasy. Doesn’t extend as commonly outside of books though
I feel pretty similar, have you found a different site you think you’ll like better?
It’s not as slick looking but take a look at Ubooquity. I have it on my Linux server and haven’t had any issues. Granted I mostly use it for sharing ebook files, not reading them on the server itself so it might not be what you’re looking for
These are all on my list of cool things I tell people about Japan. It really is a bunch of small stuff that I found great.
Another small one - most grocery stores have a packing area past payment and there’s usually a little bottle with a light temporary glue next to the plastic bags. So the line moves faster and you never fumble opening the thin plastic bags
I was just in Japan for about 4 months, mostly Tokyo. Id say somewhere around a quarter of public men’s rooms I used didn’t have soap dispensers. Taiwan was worse though - most baffling was the lack of soap on my plane to and from Taipei

Between Two Fires and his more recent Black Tongue Thief are so so good
You should submit some of your photos to Wikipedia. They’re very clear compared to some of the handful in the article
I loved ITSOL! Just reread it last month actually. I remember just being on the edge of my seat for the last third of the book If you enjoyed that I would recommend The Powder mage Trilogy by the same author, he does a good job of mixing a mystery investigation POV and a more action oriented one, just like in ITSOL, and I find it very engaging. Also The First Law Series. I think you’ll enjoy the tone and mix of Known and Unknown Magics in those series similar to ITSOL.
I can also recommend The Will of The Many and The Blacktongue Thief, which were two of my books of the year for their releases, if you’re looking for fantasy with a different tone than your standard, run of the mill sword and magic series
I also use the 250ohm DT990Pros and am very happy with them. I have them paired with a $99 Atom Amp+. If you go with the lower ohm version I bet you could delay the amp purchase depending on the output of your computer’s default stack.
For a mic I attach a wireless Antlion ModMic which is… Fine. Audio quality is good but it is kinda wiggly and charges off micro USB. Allegedly Q1 they’re going to announce a revamped version which I think it really needs.
Regardless of which headphones you decide on, if you’re interested in a budget headphone amp I can recommend the Atom Amp. It does everything I need with good build quality at an affordable price. I’ve used it for several years with no complaints
What you’re saying is technically true but do you know what was a horrible experience?
A few weeks ago when I, in Japan, needed to download many 5+ Gb project files I had backed up on my home server in the US after a hard drive failure and I was hamstrung by my shitty domestic up speed limit.
At least with large web file hosts like Google, iCloud, and mega you’re not restricted by your inferior domestic upload speeds. Being able to access the server from anywhere is only half the battle
Reagan wanted states to raise the drinking age so he threatened to withhold federal highway funding from states that didn’t
Typo graphy 😎
The Dresden Files audiobooks are so good. They’re read by James Marsters of Buffy The Vampire Slayer and he just hits every tone and sigh of Dresden perfectly.
I’m actually finishing up The Olympian Affair, book 2 of Jim Butcher’s new series Cinder Spires. It’s steampunky magic with political intrigue, airships, and tribes of cats with their own language. The first book was a little meandering but the second one has been very interesting and more dynamic so far
Have you read Django Wexler’s Shadow Campaign series? I really enjoyed them and the audiobooks are very good
The cinnamon one is Huel, which also has a better nutritional profile than Soylent
My pixel 7 Pro’s vector motion sensor is broken. How the hell does that even happen? I’ve never even heard of it and there’s like nothing online about it.
I can’t do anything that requires tracking how the phone is moved- no compass calibration, no Map’s guidance arrow, etc.
