I had a good experience with their customer service.

My Kobo bricked a few days after the warranty expired (it's possible I broke it installing koreader improperly or something) and they replaced it no problem.

Took a few weeks but I was happy they replaced it at all.

A ballet dancer who's going through some serious psychological shit, and the story of the movie is kinda a modern retelling of the ballet she's performing in

No, I'm saying teachers make considerably more than garbage collectors as in most places. I know they get next to nothing in deep red states but that's not the norm.

Also garbage collection is probably hard on your back and not suitable to do for a whole career, and is probably pretty boring, though some people like a boring job

Where do garbage collectors make more than teachers?

It's a decent union public sector job and pays decently, but so is teaching and that requires more education.

Interesting, I've been told that it's illegal to sleep in your car in Canada when drunk because being in a car with possession of the keys is enough to show intent to DUI and get arrested.

I imagine it's something you could fight in court and win with a good lawyer, but it always seemed counter intuitive to me.

The question is who would want one?

If you're a big graphics nerd, who really needs the highest quality everything, you probably have a PC. If you're an average consumer , the PS5 is fine. A PS5 Pro seems unnecessary.

Haiti didn't finish paying off its debt to France until 1947. (The debt was sold to Citibank at some point). That debt was partly buying the freedom of the enslaved population.

It never had a chance to get off the ground.

This is such a weird post, implying that tiktok is the only place to find a good hashbrown recipe and therefore it shouldn't be banned.

I know lemme.ml is a tankie instance but come on

I still engage in pretend play with friends in my 30s.

There's a rulebook and dice now, but same concept of fantasizing and making up stories.

We even do it outside in the summer
