- Comment on Headlamp tech that doesn’t blind oncoming drivers—where is it? 2 months ago:
I just want to see the day where as a pedestrian I don’t feel like my retinas are fried every time a car passes at night or has their brights on during the day (ugh). I know it is wishful thinking because apparently politicians don’t give a shit about pedestrians (or cyclists).

Ahhh the unfortunate speaker placement kills me. Why do designs always seem to put them right where your hands are?
- Comment on Nothing is requiring employees to be in the office five days a week 2 months ago:
Teenage engineering partnered with Nothing. That isn’t the same thing.
- Comment on Big Lots is closing hundreds of stores after warning it could go out of business 3 months ago:
Last time I shopped at a big lots, the product quality was that of a dollar store or worse. The hose I purchased is the worst hose I have ever owned and the other items I purchased recently broke. I haven’t been back since because the value that they used to provide just isn’t there anymore. Big Lots used to be the place to go for cheap but still decent quality. Now it is just trash.

I’m really pleased with mine. I figured out if you use nickelmenu it is possible to have the games too! That is the only way I have found to access them. For some reason Kobo isn’t making them accessible even with devmodeon enabled.
I upgraded from an Aura H20 Edition 2 so I notice a distinct upgrade in speed and function. I hope you like yours as much as I like mine!

After having a terrible experience with an Onyx Boox Palma breaking within 24 hours of receipt…I’m glad I rage bought a Kobo Libra Colour lol.

- Comment on Midtown Madness 2 on Windows 10 10 months ago:
Other commenter is on point. The VW Beetle (commonly called a bug) was crazy overpowered in that game from what I remember. I could also just have rose colored glasses.
- Comment on Midtown Madness 2 on Windows 10 10 months ago:
The VW bug was the OP. Just sayin’.
- Comment on Any recommendations for time loop games? 10 months ago:
I played the game first and then watched the anime. I always tell people the game is good. I like the idea of not being influenced by a pre-set “true” ending. That is my preference though.
- Comment on People who dont particularly care for or celebrate Christmas, Whats your favorite Christmas song? 11 months ago:
Rusty Chevrolet by Da Yoopers. That whole album is just hysterical.
- Comment on When is it okay to drop out of college? 11 months ago:
This is a tough decision that only you can make. I have been in and out of college since 2003 and still have a few classes til my bachelor. What worked for me once I was in the field I wanted was to cut back to one class at a time and just gradually churn through. Depending on your school/work/debt situation this may or may not be doable. What really matters is to step back and ask yourself why you are pursuing school, if continuing now will pay off in the future, and if pausing and returning is something you would actually do if you left now. Does your workplace offer assistance for education? That can be a great help if you want to slow down.
