There’d be a few times it would be really inconvenient.

For example some concerts only allow tickets from the Ticketmaster app, not even a printed ticket. Though possibly showing the ticket on the laptop would work but then I’m not sure they’d let you bring a laptop into a concert.

Ah! That’s my problem, I wasn’t using a machine! Just doing it by hand. Maybe I’ll pick one up.

You don’t have to knead it? Whenever I try to make bread I find I’m kneading forever and it sticks to everything and I get flour all over then it turns out really dense.

I have a clever coffee dripper that pretty much does the same thing but more conveniently.

That said, I like James Hoffman’s French press technique better, though it is a bit more of a pain.

Also the drawing says medium low but shows medium high, unless their knobs are backwards from all the knobs I’ve seen.

Not the other poster but a Canadian too. It varies. To see my GP I can get an appointment within the week, usually same day, though most people here need to wait a couple weeks. Then there GP refers me to specialists, that’s usually between 1-6 months wait.

Emergency yeah you are usually looking at 4 hours wait absolute minimum. Though you don’t get charged for it at least. Though I guess it depends on severity, they will prioritize by how serious it is not by first arrival.

The other thing the other poster didn’t mention is that medication is not covered so you have to pay full for that unless you have insurance. Also for some reason dental isn’t covered at all without insurance (or I think recently for low income families but I’m not 100% sure if that’s implemented yet or not)

I think what they are saying is: Lemmy itself has an option you set on your profile that shows or hides read posts. That’ll apply forever no matter which client you use, but you can’t even see your own posts that way so it’s frustrating.

Then the clients themselves, like sync, might have their own option to hide read that works independently of the Lemmy setting, in which case they should have more control over it.

In my case I have Lemmy set to show read posts but sync set to hide them but like other people have said, it doesn’t seem to work perfectly.

Do you need two copies of the game for that?

Cool, Pocketbook Touch Lux 5 looks pretty good, since it’s the smallest one. But water resistance is a good idea, that’s why my kobo stopped working actually. And I can’t see anything on that model about water resistance. Which did you get?

I had to use my email rather than username, though I’m aware not all instances require one.

I have that and while it tastes good, some of it ends up airborne and I end up coughing or sneezing like crazy while eating it. Maybe I’m putting on too much?

f.lux kinda works but doesn’t go all the way

Blood Meridian is my favorite book I’ve ever read, but also one of the most challenging. But I’ve had to read it multiple times (three so far) to fully appreciate it, and I think I need even more to fully get it.

But I can’t get it out of my head. The Judge especially just will not get out of my head.

This is me. Mostly I just want to know what I’ve read and what I thought of it, or if I did not finish. I don’t need all the other things.

American Psycho made me so claustrophobic reading it I had to give up really quickly. Which means it was terribly effective, but not something I can make myself read.

I feel like there are multiple levels of terrifying to this book.

I can’t get The Judge out of my head, he has a supernatural quality to him but in a horrible, intelligent way that makes him horrifying.

But then the other terrifying thing is just the depiction of the normal characters and what they go through and the actions they commit.

And then finally another level is the depiction of everything else they face. That scene where the boy first witnesses an attack by the Comanche is blood curdling and yet mesmerising within one sentence. For anybody looking for context, search for ‘Blood Meridian Legion of horribles quote’ for the whole sentence.

I’m not even sure why I think of Blood Meridian over The Road. Maybe now that I have child rereading the road would make it worse. But I feel that especially upon a few rereads Blood Meridian has some really dark things happening that aren’t immediately apparent.

And I suppose part of my choice might be because I find The Judge to be both the most fascinating and horrifying character in anything I’ve read or seen.

I feel like it would need to be a television show instead and even then… I don’t think it’s possible to give it credit.

This is funny, I immediately thought of Blood Meridian when I read the post title, then came in and saw another Cormac McCarthy book!

Cool, thanks! I’ve signed up. Got James Brown Live at the Apollo as my first and I’m digging it so far.
