Thanks.

I had a feeling it would be the Kobo, I was a little taken aback by the price but I’ll likely take your advice and get one of these, when the time is right.

I also added the book to my reading list, an LLM said it’s like a modern retelling of Cane and Abel, which sounds interesting. It also said it’s the authors magnum opus, so really had to add it.

To be honest I wanted to get back into reading to read about the history of the Middle East, but with adhd reading is tough and the only time i remember being gripped was with The Millenium Trilogy by Steig Larsson so might find more thrillers to read to get back into it before hitting the hard history stuff.

I agree. My car a Mercedes A200d from 2020 is a bit of a hybrid, it has a touch screen but also button controls to change things, but even those are a bit fiddly.

I love that it had a voice control feature that actually works so no I just press a button on the steering wheel and say “play classic fm” and it changes. Good for using navigation too as the less time you are using the screen the better.

Piano or Violin for solo instruments, but I love a good concerto or symphony.

No it’s really not. That place should encourage all questions.

Quite a reductive view of sport.

You do you bro, this message is for anybody or nobody

Use it or lose it people. I’m over 40 and I’m quite fit and healthy. Do lots of walking, running, rock climbing, golf, and enjoying nature.

I’m in better health than my younger friends simply because I’m more active. See dudes in their 70’s climbing harder than me still and in great shape. You’ve just got to keep moving.

I live in a massive city and you’ll see loads of people just existing all the time.

I used to think the same about bugs too but I see shit loads when walking near trees and in the woods or down canals. Even my car still murders 100’s on a commute to work. Headed you don’t see them in city centre but that’s just hygiene is better now. IMO

You do realise that when OP said “AITA?” it means am I the asshole?. Acceptable answers to this would be yes or no.

Anything outside of that is my opinion provided on a post asking for our opinions. Seems you’ve taken offence to this and that says more about you than me pal.

Edit: this is why I like to preach positive intent as had you’d done that you not be calling me out for giving my opinion on a post it was explicitly asked for.

Racid? Do you mean rancid?

Yes you’re the AH. Even taking the kids out of the equation and you’re framing this as what you can get out of this meeting. That’s not a friend. Why not just say no.

She said that we should get coffee and catch up properly, and I was sort of down, although I’m not really that enthusiastic about catching up with someone I’ve frankly not thought about in a few years.

Yeah sod what the other party thinks s as long as you’re getting something out of it. I see this as wasting her time on someone who isn’t appreciative of it.

Also, why mention baby daddies?

In the UK we have anti vandal paste which is a kinda gluey black tar to dissuade people from climbing.

Lot a prudes in this thread.

Can confirm I am cat person, I am weirdo.

🐱 🥰

Apparently so 😂

Thanks so much for this.

Hey that seems super cheap for a keyboard.

Do you happen to have any of the links to the ones you bought?

Thanks for this info.

I’ll check out AliExpress next time I see something interesting.

Not at all. Certainly saved me buying something on impulse for no reason at all.

I do tend to do most of my purchasing locally if I can and I don’t shop at Amazon and I’m actively trying to boycott American companies.

I am curious about quality though. China makes everything pretty much so it’s likely most of the stuff comes from the same factories making good stuff?
