It’s like the entire white collar industry. I think they think it’s beneath them, and they think they will be special.

Why not just scientific papers I’m general? I don’t really care about AI.

Unfortunately my toddler doesn’t have the same reading interests as I… I also don’t know if I could handle listening to my own voice.

Yeah, but is there anything that’s not >$100/month to transcribe one book worth of audio?

Is there a public tool to turn a book into an audiobook now?

Why not too old? I bought 4 gen 4 & 5 kindles off ebay for like $20 on purpose. I hate backlights and they still work great.

I feel like it’s a more middle class/poor US thing. They often also keep their toilet cleaning brush out in the open, displayed in a fancy caddy.

Might just be lack of closet space? Perhaps the plumbing is so shoddy it makes sense to keep it out for easy access.

Do you have a multi use one? Some can invert the flanges into itself to become sink plungers.

Everyone seems to have a cup plunger made for sinks next to their toilet instead of a toilet plunger near their toilet.

A toilet plunger has flanges:

I have seen this plunger close to zero times when visiting people and using their bathroom.

Some places won’t allow any adoptions for a few days before Halloween. The one in a town over didn’t let anyone adopt black cats for like 2 weeks in October.

How do ads generate enough revenue to sustain themselves?

Seriously. They act like it was trained on classified information or something

Maybe the author had been in a relationship for more than 5 years.

The wasteful spending is in defense and ain’t nobody looking into that…

I don’t see how it’s the same. In real life I could just walk away and be done with it. Online they can just generate another account and insert themselves right before you.

If people could teleport or create avatars endlessly to try to talk to me in real life I would eventually just wear head phones and pretend to listen to them until they got bored.

I messed around with bitcoin in like 2011. It seemed valueless because there were very few USD markets for it. Anyway I used to play a game where every action was a gambling mechanic in full bitcoin. Want to kick a coconut tree? It costs 1 BTC and 0-4 will drop. I had 100s of BTC at one point.

Anyway the computer had issues and then the hard drive was taken by a family member. I don’t get too upset thinking about them because I would have just spent them once they had real value.

Step 1. Be rich or know rich people

Step 2. Convince rich people to give you more money

Step 3. Repeat Step 2

I would easily pay as you go for high quality news if it were truly a “micro” transaction. Like a few penniea or less per article.

Well i think you can also torrent off of there too. There are massive backup files on their home page that they are basically begging people to download and seed… So maybe it’s that?

Those are torrents, Annas Archive is typically used for direct downloads.
