A hawk eats to survive. Because they aren't fed by humans, they exist in relatively small numbers. Too little food, if there are too many they starve. Because pet cats are also fed at home, and stray cats feed on garbage, they exist in artificially high numbers.

Think I did it that way for some books.
I also seem to remember there being another workaround, by exporting it to my old sony e-reader via the official sony app, which is so old it doesn't have proper DRM, but I did have to sign up for adobe digital editions or some or other BS. Something like that. End result was a DRM free epub.
Huge waste of time, especially for something I'd paid full price for, so after that I gave up on buying ebooks, and simply pirated them.
Just like with DVDs back in the day and streaming now, you get a shittier experience if you pay full price. Better to pirate.
Makes the whiskey taste sweeter.
I hope that at least the BBC still have them, even if they're not always available to stream.
Given the BBC's history of getting rid of stuff, it'd be nice to archive stuff so it never gets lost.
Fun fact: before it went digital, the ikea catalogue was the most printed book of all time, ahead of the bible and the quran. Google says two hundred million copies a year.
No idea where this picture was taken, because they all look similar, and the price isn't enough to tell.
On a related note, I don't get why blahaj (blue shark) is a meme.
e: is it the colours or is it because shark = fish as in presenting as very feminine?
Final sentence:
On the other hand, it needs to be said that these issues are not going to be that significant in the full picture of the war – Russia still has plenty of howitzers, continues to produce them and a few ruptured barrels are not going to deter them at all.
To quote Stalin, quantity has a quality of its own.
Doesn't calibre also have a built in converter?
It used to be able to strip DRM from stuff too, but I think they got rid of that for legal reasons.
Love the former East Germany, lived there for a while, but it's still deprived even after the federal state pumping loads of money into it. I suspect West Germany's crumbling infrastructure is in part caused by the burden of absorbing East Germany.
But it's not an independent country, so it's hidden in these figures. Germany's had to shoulder that burden on its own.
Cost trillions. West Germany shouldered that burden, but West German companies also profited from it. Eg. not as if there were private East German companies to build motorways to western standards.
The victims are the wrong colour, the perpetrators are the wrong religion, the west is distracted, Africans aren't great fans of former colonial powers getting involved in their former colonies, and it's in the Russian/Chinese sphere of influence.
Although the root causes of the conflict are domestic, Russia's working on building a naval base there, there's evidence of Wagner involvement, and according to some media Russia is using Sudanese gold to help fund the war in Ukraine. Which probably doesn't help or give the Russians much of a motive to weaponise the conflict for propaganda purposes, unlike other conflicts.
Here's a quote from a relevant Financial Times article about Blackpool, a deprived English seaside town:
Politically controversial though, so good luck getting politicians to tackle some of the root causes, even if it would likely end up saving money and increase productivity.
I've linked to his wikipedia article above. Here's a relevant quote:
In 1995, Ben-Gvir came to public attention for the first time, when he appeared on television brandishing a Cadillac hood ornament that had been stolen from Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's car, and declared: "We got to his car, and we'll get to him too." Several weeks later, Rabin was assassinated by right-wing extremist Yigal Amir.
But that's arguably not even the worst bit in the article.
To be fair, they probably confused it with a boeing 777. An easy mistake to make.
