Yeah, I’m in the “you guys” zone and I say y’all, it’s always better received.

There really aren’t enough novels about aimless, gay werewolves called Brian... ― Sunday Times, Books to Watch in 2023

My expectations have been exceeded.

What book is this?

It’s a trip seeing them around. Somehow they look even worse in person.

1 bed/bath to myself (and my cat). Happier here than anywhere I’ve been with a partner.

Birthdays make me so uncomfortable. Even when they’re mentioned in work chat and it’s flooded with gifs/“happy birthday!”s, I just don’t get it.

Those birds are crazy. My dad and I painted our neighbor’s house one summer when I was a kid, and at the end of each day I’d call her name out and let her know the status. After we finished, her African Grey would call her name in my voice every day so well that she thought we were still there.

It seems so. Here’s an article with some more information and a higher resolution image (though the image still looks like CGI to me).

My daily carry bag always includes my Kindle, my cribbage board, and dog treats.

I don’t even like working.

Even got the zoom-out effect. If you’re nearsighted, totally accurate.

I’m in favor of calling it X because it’ll die quicker.

 

I have a Snap Grip Luxe on the back of my Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, which has wireless Qi charging but is not magnetic. On phones, the Snap Grip allows for passthrough wireless charging, so when I mounted it, I held my Kindle up to a wireless charging stand until I found the spot where it started charging, marked the top of the back with some tape, and mounted it roughly where I thought the charging coil might be (though there's some uncertainty because I don't know exactly where the charging hardware is inside my stand). It doesn't work.

It's possible this feature just doesn't work with the Kindle, but I have a new Kindle arriving soon and will have another shot at this, so I was curious if there was some way I can precisely locate and mark where the charging coil is on the back of my new Kindle to at least eliminate that factor. Any ideas?
