making 30 k a year and having to pay even 1600 in taxes

That's like 5.3%, could that be real? That would be ridiculously low. I just checked and with that same income I'd be paying 2480 in Germany, or 8.3%, and that's in taxes alone. After social insurances and health insurance the total deduction would be 6450 or 21.5% total.

Deadwind, police procedural crime series from Finland, on Netflix. Only subbed, no English audio available; so it takes some focus - I tried before but was too tired, but now that I got into it, it's a pretty good story with believable characters.

I loved my BB Bold 9000, but the physical keyboard did reduce the screen size to a rather small form factor compared to modern phones. And I dare say that swyping is faster and just as accurate, so even if there would be new phones coming out with hardware keyboards of the same quality as old BlackBerry's, I doubt I would switch back.

Paywalled, anyone got the full article?

How exactly can I see who downvoted? Can't seem to find it in the regular view, and the debug info only shows the vote count, not the voter.

There are other integrations, those were the two I used so I could remember them.

Certainly wasn't cheap, but I do need to take quite a few notes during meetings with my engineering team, clients, shareholders etc., and being able to sketch something out real quick and project it over onto the screen in our meeting room with two clicks is pretty awesome.

My company even offered to pay for it, but I wanted it to be mine.

There are several definitions of casualty, some mention "serious injury or death" while others refer to "death through injury, illness or violence".

So the his statement is at the very least not obviously misleading.

I have a first generation kindle that I bought 16 years ago. They used to be awesome, and Amazon shaped the way ecommerce worked. The lesson here is not to be fully dependent on one supplier, not to boycott everything just because it's big.

The reMarkable 2 has built in sync capability for dropbox, google drive and a few others. That device is seriously awesome.

Kill ads on the cheaper one would be my main if not only use case.

Installing an alternative reader that can read other formats is mentioned a few times, but honestly, with Calibre that became a non-issue decades ago. Need to transfer them via cable anyway, converting in the process takes a few seconds at most.

You might pre-order and just get the download that day. Or cartridge in the mail or whatever, I don't know what device the game is released for.

Then stock up on food the day before and lock yourself in ;-)
