Thank you for writing this. I liked the opinions on the books I was already familiar with, and it's given me some ideas for future reads.

We definitely had those too. Shorter games were pretty doable, and to be honest all we had time for anyway.

I really liked the first one, despite its flaws. My cousin and I played hours of it. Excited to see what comes next.

North Dakota voters may end most property taxes. Government programs could face huge cuts in c/politics@lemmy.world

Property taxes, like basically every other cost to a rental property, just gets passed down to renters as well. It's not like landlords let taxes affect their profit margins.

I use FBReader everyday. When you say that it's netblocked, what do you mean? I've been able to use it in airplane mode with no issues. I'm using v3.7.6.

In Massachusetts I think it generally is listed on the receipt.

Anychance all the inflation we're are seeing is foreign entities ditching the dollar after seeing the state of things? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Everything I've seen has indicated US inflation rates dropping steadily since 2022. What inflation are you seeing?

A Giant Wind Farm Is Taking Root Off Massachusetts (www.nytimes.com)
 

In the coming months, 62 turbines, each up to 850 feet high (taller than any building in Boston) with blades about 350 feet long, will be planted on a sweep of seabed 15 miles off Martha’s Vineyard, the island where former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton have vacationed.

Cables carrying electricity created by spinning rotors will land on a beach in Barnstable on Cape Cod and then head to consumers in the state. Vineyard Wind says its machines will crank out enough power to light up 400,000 homes.
