Same, have a boox, getting a second boox, and really wish I had a better option to track location across devices. KOReader is a nice reader experience, but browsing books sucks. I use a blend of moon reader and the built in app depending on my mood, but neither feels as good as maple reader on my iPad, and nothing I've found can really sync my location.

I keep not getting to it, so can't vouch for it, but Kavita looks like it's worth trying.

Yeah, if they weren't sourced by people giving them to them under other pretenses I wouldn't judge.

Jesus Christ fuck them. "Fair is fair"?

They're not for everyone, but I love them. When it's warm enough, I really like the V-Aqua, because they have nice grip on wet rocks and I can comfortably climb in and out of the water without getting water logged (I think the movement of water is fascinating and like playing with the camera with it).

The other ones are nice, too, but do have to be washed more regularly because they absorb sweat and start to stink if you don't.

I have a couple pairs now of Vibram Five Fingers and they're the most comfortable shoes I own. My feet are pretty wide, so my choices tend to be "squash the fuck out of my little toe" or "wide but heavy as hell". I went barefoot places I could regularly (and still do camping when putting on shoes is too much for a short trip or whatever), but these let me do similar everywhere. I find hiking a lot easier when I can feel the ground and use my toes scrambling over rocks and in streams, etc.

Just cutting off the bottom of your shoes is dumb as hell.

Because they're not similarly huge.

Taylor Swift is dating Travis Kelce, and the fact that she's going to be watching (not performing) the Super Bowl is going to add a huge number of eyeballs. To the biggest event in the country.

When there was a giant Ralph made up of virus clone Ralphs destroying everything in sight.

Good thing we have the power of friends or whatever.

Top athletes are grossly underpaid. Basketball straight up truncates them. Giannis would make at least double on the open market. Football, the best players make the same as second and third tier players at their position, entirely dependent on when they hit FA.

But that's my point. Good chicken doesn't need seasoning.

If your chicken is bland, you're probably getting ones bred/raised for fast mass at all costs. Chicken broth is used for flavor in other dishes just as much as beef or pork is, because chicken can have plenty of flavor.

It also tends to be leaner and better for you, though. I eat my share of beef, pork, chicken, shrimp, and occasionally various fish. I'm not bashing any of them. But cheap beef and pork can be just as bland as cheap chicken. It's all about finding a reasonable source.

The quality of ingredients matters a lot.

Chicken breasts from my grocery store are pretty bland, regardless of how I prepare them, because their source isn't good. If I get chicken breasts from Costco (they come vacuum sealed in their juices), I can oven bake with just some salt and olive oil and they're still really good.

But also, learn some spice blends (or find some). The same chicken and rice can provide a bunch of different feeling meals with different seasonings.

You could very easily just project the last bounce, and if it's going to go into the good spot, cheat and adjust the path, based on predetermined odds. It wouldn't be hard at all to turn a 1 in 7 chance if the physics would be uniformly distributed without cheating into 1 in 700.
