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.

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.

But since world war II the word has connotations of discrimination, superiority and harmful intent. Words change so the original definition isn't the correct one.

I'd give him more credit, it doesn't take a genius to encourage people to subscribe to a philosophy and or vote for a person that will benefit you.

He knows what he's doing

Under most definitions of racism that's not true. Racism is usually defined as towards a minority or marginalized group. Discrimination toward the dominant group isn't racism how it's usually understood.

Conservatives are trying to redefine it, but that's not the legal or academic definition anywhere where the courts haven't been hijacked by conservative nutcases.
