  • User anger as Amazon ends support for some older Kindles

    Jump

  • It would probably take a lot of work to make like a wizard for low tech people to use for jailbreaking, right? A relative has brain damage and used to be tech savvy but now gets uneasy about things like that. I could jailbreak it for her, specifically, but I keep thinking about people in her situation who were early adopters of ebooks and would love to keep using the same device but can't do steps like that anymore.

    Sorry I asked this on your helpful comment! It just made me think of that kindle using relative. I second using that wiki and removing drm from all your books.

  • Sunglasses suggestions

  • online glasses shops will sometimes have a "shop by face shape" section. I've used zenni's and it was fine.

    https://www.zennioptical.com/b/glasses-for-oval-face I'm not the best for recs here since I've only used this site ever and got my frames from the eye doctor and lenscrafters before that.

    https://www.wikihow.com/Determine-Your-Face-Shape If you genuinely aren't sure of your face shape, and you care if you guess wrong, get out the measuring tape.

    If you have an oval face:

  • The answer, to them, of course isn't stop being horrible. Gotta figure out how to stop the biggest number of people from voting.

  • One of my favorite tumblr memes. Sometimes, though, it gets posted after like a picture of a sexy dragon and it's like ...nah. Sexy dragon poster was posting dragon pics before and during the ban, and will continue until the heat death of the universe.

  • Colorectal cancer is rising in younger adults. Here’s who is most at risk and symptoms to watch for

    Jump

  • https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9177054/

    This study I linked is pretty interesting, with how it goes over the different possibilities that have been studied. More useful than any random guess I throw out there. The bit in the original article where they said many younger patients lack common risk factors threw me for a loop when I was mentally already theorizing.

  • Colorectal cancer is rising in younger adults. Here’s who is most at risk and symptoms to watch for

    Jump

  • No one knows what’s causing the rise in cases in younger adults. But Georgetown’s Marshall said many young patients lack common risk factors. He wonders if changes in young people’s gut bacteria — the microbiome — might play a role.

    Still no real answer to this question, then. The article lists risk factors but the younger people don't necessarily have them. Increasing exercise if you're sedentary might help. Speculation on my part feels wrong when people who have studied this for years are still speculating, themselves.

  • Will an American remake of Squid Game be bad or better than the original?

    Jump

  • I guess it depends on how much effort goes into it, but odds are it'd be an easy cash grab so i assume it'd be way worse and also inherently obnoxious.

  • The 5-Minute Rule: Why Your 'Toilet Scroll' Is Increasing Your Haemorrhoid Risk By 46%

  • That came out of nowhere after a bunch of already known but reasonable advice. Was it written by AI and not checked for misinformation, or is it just spreading the cell phone radiation misinfo in an organic, human way, I wonder?

  • Can someone explain the Birds and the Bees to me? I get its related to sex somehow but was never told the story or where it got started or how come a bird and insect?

    Jump

  • It must have sucked for your dad but part of me is happy that those sitcoms didn't entirely lie to me.

  • Can someone explain the Birds and the Bees to me? I get its related to sex somehow but was never told the story or where it got started or how come a bird and insect?

    Jump

  • I remember I felt I missed something because my mom explained the specifics of menstruation to me and school went into more detail about sex and reproduction. Despite what sitcoms were telling me, no one ever sat me down and said anything about birds or bees. I guess I hoped there was a weird pre-written speech parents awkwardly tried to recall when their kids got to a certain age.

  • Americans are pulling money out of their 401(k) funds at record rates

  • It's not ideal, but keeping food on the table, a roof over your head, and light/heat running are going to be bigger priorities than worrying about a tomorrow that might not come, anyway.

  • Scientists uncovered the nutrients bees were missing — Colonies surged 15-fold

  • Bad news, though: It's not vitamin B

    They identified six key sterols that dominate bee biology: 24-methylenecholesterol, campesterol, isofucosterol, β-sitosterol, cholesterol, and desmosterol.

    Alas.

  • JD Vance wildly claims Ilhan Omar ‘definitely committed immigration fraud,’ White House will ‘go after’ her

  • You know, before this current time, I was naive about the depth of hatred I was capable of feeling. She's already been attacked multiple times because of the kind of rhetoric he's spreading here. Like, I understand why they do it.

    LBJ:

    "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

    I get it, but I despise them for it, still.

  • My turtle is lazy, what do I do about it?

    Jump

  • Well, since she's healthy, is she the type that bruminates? I feel like I'm doing a "no stupid answers" thing because I've only had leopard geckos and anoles, so I should leave the answers to people who have had turtles, lol
