I want to buy my first ebooks and I have two goals: don't pay Amazon, and give the largest possible cut to the authors. Is there something like Bandcamp for ebooks?

When a sudden attack by a French warship inflicts casualties and severe damage upon his vessel, Captain ‘Lucky’ Jack Aubrey of the British Royal Navy is torn between duty and friendship as he embarks on a thrilling, high‑stakes chase across two oceans to intercept and capture the enemy at any cost.

Special Features and Technical Specs:

• DOLBY VISION/HDR PRESENTATION OF THE FILM
• DOLBY ATMOS AUDIO TRACK
• Includes all previous Special Features from the 2008 Blu-ray.

Pre-orders should start about one week from now, according to The Digital Bits.

I have never owned a projector and I'm not an audio- or cinephile. I often have neighbors over at the fire pit, and showing a movie would be fun sometimes.

Recommend a luggable projector setup? I don't mind it being cabled to power or input - I'm not going far from the house. I was thinking I might build a little cart to store and deploy it easily. I see battery powered and lightweight units which are great I'm sure, but I don't need to pay extra for those features.

I'm also looking for info on projector screens. Sadly, there's no suitable place to mount one so it'll need to be on a stand or something too.

Just watched this blind (haha) after seeing the two stars on the poster on Netflix as I was scrolling.

It was pretty fun! Not a cinematic masterpiece but enjoyable. Rated R for a few instances of breasts, an erection bulge, and lots of bad language.

I had a good time. I understand it wasn't a big success, and was the third of four movies they made together.

Wilder and Pryor are quite funny, often in an immature way. The female leads Joan Severance and Kirsten Childs do a great job, and Kevin Spacey plays a bad guy well.

Anybody else seen this?

His shoulders seem to be six feet apart when he's wearing the robes, but when he's out of them he has much more reasonable proportions.

Hi,

Clicked on the link in this comment and connect pops up a little "API error" notification at the bottom, and backs out of the post.

It looks like connect is trying to open the link as if it were linked to another community?

Howdy,

I have been experiencing annoying brief skips, like on a bumped CD player, with my media players. Replaying the same song or same part of the song does not have the skips, so I don't think it's the files' fault.

Had the same problem in Elisa and VLC. I don't watch much local video, but streaming audio and video doesn't have this problem for me.

Watching the system monitor I see I have 10 Gb of free memory and only 5-10% CPU utilization.

System is Debian 12 with KDE and Xwindows. (Wayland doesn't like my Nvidia 1070)

Any suggestion for how to troubleshoot would be appreciated. I tried downloading more memory but that didn't help!

I've only bought the pan a week ago and used it three times. Hot dogs, eggs, and steak.

When I'm done I clean it with a scrubby sponge and once with a little bit of detergent, then put it on the stove to dry quickly. Then while it's hot I smear maybe a teaspoon of vegetable oil on it with a paper towel "brush".

In between uses it's wet with oil, as you can see in the picture. How much residual oil should there be? I had the impression that it would be dryer.

Also, how much should I scrub? I am not going to leave crust of beef on there, but I also don't think it's supposed to be scrubbed back to new smoothness.

I forget medical info all the time. When was my last dentist visit? I dunno. Which kid had their tonsils out? What's my blood type?

Wife asks "remember when I had strep last year?" No...

Has anyone in my house had COVID? I think so, but which one(s)?

I forget vacations we took, what states I've been to.

Terrible at remembering people that I've met even a bunch of times.

Horrible at work. I'm on top of what's happening now, mostly, because I have notes, but what happened a year ago? Gosh.

It's really frustrating living like this, but I don't know how much might be my ADHD and how much is just me having a bad brain.

For example, this one. https://lemmyverse.link/lazysoci.al/post/26817260

It's about half of posts I looked at today.
