Could not get Adobe Digital Editions (curse the stranglehold of acsm on ebooks and this program being the only way to access them on PC) to run on the new laptop. It would launch and then immediately freeze.

After much searching of the internet for answers, and trying proffered solutions found therein, it turned out that ADE 4.5's own built-in cloudness thar was the problem. For some reason, it was trying to summon the ghosts of every book that has been touched by my Adobe ID. Thousands of files in the brand new install's CloudSync folder. Absolute madness.

If you’re a user of Libby (the library app), consider before following their suggestion to type #InspireMe into the search bar.

It seems harmless, but it turns on an unrequested AI feature, & there is no way to reverse that.

This comes courtesy of Mr/ProfHeyRochelle, who is now reasonably pissed over following said directions.

it occurs to me that if any of you aren't familiar with the award winning graphic novel Digger by Ursula Vernon, it is my duty to tell you about it, and let you know that the full story is available to read online for free. It is brilliant, highly recommended.

Digger is the story of a wombat who ends up far from her home after a run-in with magic underground, and who ends up on a quest to deal with the problem of a dead god. It's funny, it's heartfelt, it has amazing worldbuilding and characters, and the art is incredible.

Here's the link to the first page! https://diggercomic.com/blog/2007/02/01/wombat1-gnorf/

I hate this particular Allen wrench more than any other previously encountered in my life. It is small in a way that makes it pretty much usable only when the short end is inserted into the screw, but the real crime is how little definition is has. This is bent metal cylinder that only dreams of being a wrench.

58 2" screws.
