One of the options under the connect/share button is “Start content server”. Then you can access that page in a browser on the ebook.

Calibre just provides a little management on top. I use it for doing things like cleaning up metadata (making sure all books in a series have the same series name, for example), and transferring books over wifi (calibre can spin up a mini web server that I can access on the kobo).

I could get by without it, but it’s nice sometimes.

For things that stick, you can imagine that when the molecules are close, but not too close, they attract each other because of the molecules’ overall electromagnetic charges result in attraction. But once they get really close, the actual distribution of each molecule’s charge starts to matter, and in particular the negatively charged electron clouds get close to each other first, and repel.

I like OurGroceries, but they want almost $20 to remove ads these days. Or an ongoing subscription, which… yeah, no. That is too much for a glorified checklist.

Certainly the relationship between the US government and Native American tribes is… well, obviously “complicated” is a gross understatement. But the Supreme Court found in Elk v. Wilkins that Native Americans born on Indian reservations were not citizens because they are not subject to US jurisdiction. Hence the Indian Citizenship Act. Native Americans pay federal taxes because they are US citizens.

There are tribes that refer to themselves as nations, like the Cherokee Nation for example. I don’t really know if there’s a specific meaning to “nation” vs using some other word. I used “entity” in order to try to avoid using a more nuanced word incorrectly. The tribes have sovereignty is all I meant.

I’m not really sure what Gorsuch was getting at with his question, but my understanding is that Native Americans are not citizens by the 14th amendment, because tribes are sovereign entities, and therefore fall into the “not subject to the jurisdiction” part of that amendment. However, they are granted citizenship by the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924.

Even though Yates himself called it “the way to lose a lady”, I still like Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven.

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

I occasionally use it to find links to VODs for esports tournaments. Asking it to only link the specific game I want with no other summarization is a way to find them without spoilers (like when youtube “helpfully” suggests the last game of the grand finals of the tournament as a search result).

I can’t think of things in English that are very similar. There might be some compound words that happen to be usable both ways (eg overtake, takeover), but I’d call those mostly coincidental.

I think another part of it is being able to see what you’re clicking on. You want cursor pixels near the click target because they can show you where you’re clicking. But you also want the area around the target to be clear so you can see what you’re clicking on. Putting all of the “show me where I’m clicking” pixels on one side leaves as much space free to see what you’re clicking on as possible.

That’s oversimplifying it. Suppose you have a relative who has $20,000 in unpaid bills, and $5,000 in a savings account. They pass away and leave everything to you in their will. The money in the savings account is used to pay some of the bills, but the remaining $15,000 debt does not pass on to you, or anyone else. If it was the other way around ($5,000 is debt, $20,000 in savings), you’d get $15,000.

Doctors Without Borders and the ACLU.

I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise

Ok, the wikipedia page for bisphenol does mention skin absorption.

Mr and Mrs Smith is one of my favorites.

Come on, let’s talk about this! You don’t want to go to bed angry!

Great soundtrack, too.

Is this a “don’t lick the headphones” thing, or can these chemicals be absorbed through the skin?

“America, regardless of what so-called international institutions say, is unleashing the most lethal and precise air power campaign in history,” Hegseth said at a March 2 press conference. “No stupid rules of engagement.”

I started reading this quote thinking it was someone critical of the administration, but no, it’s Hegseth himself. They’re fucking proud of their atrocities.
