Depends on device for me. For android I use Librera for books, Tachiyomi/Kotatsu for manga/comics, on the old Kindle I was gifted (Kindle Touch 2) I use KOReader so I can read epubs. For desktop I do use Calibre for reading, though I'm not a big fan of their reader. I mainly read textbooks on desktop and find the search features useful, which is the main reason for using it, it all works well enough. I had issues getting Okular to work well on my computer, but I've heard it's good? Here's hoping I can unify things a bit in the future.

Eta: I forgot I actually started using Seeneva for comics, since I like the speech-bubble zoom feature

Yeah, I've been using the bus to visit home for 6ish years now and there's no consistancy year to year on how it'll operate. I prefer the train, but there's only 1 train each way/day and it ends up being a shit deal time-wise for me since the train arrives into the small city in the late evening and leaves early morning. I dream for the day the midwest gets its shit together

I'm firmly in the fuckcars camp and agree with you, I was more wondering why they made that decision. Someone else answered that they don't want to pay to use the station, so I guess my question to you then is what local municipalities can do to prevent this/promote better intercity travel. Are they able to require the buses to use the station (and pay for it's use)? I'm worried this coach company would just shut the line down.

I should also note that this is a popular transit route, there is an amtrak train that connects the cities as well, but only one train a day. I take the bus bc the train schedule is a bad deal if you're visiting the small city (arrive in the evening, depart in the morning). The bus isn't as popular as the train, so it seems like they're cutting costs wherever they can.

That makes sense, as much as I hate it. It's odd though since the route used to be served by a local coach company in partnership with Greyhound and would stop both at the intermodal station in the college town as well as the bus depot in the main city. The new operater is FlixBus, who bought Greyhound and presumably could have used the station/depot if they wanted; they must have been trying to cut costs on the route.

Nope, it's ridiculous. This route used to be operated by a different company that stopped at both the station and the depot a few miles away in another part of the city, but the new operater stops at neither.

I use a TCL Flip 2, bought it unlocked on ebay for $40. It has hotspot, mms, and emoji support (can't remember if the included keyboard has any emoji, since I use a custom one that has some, but the system can recognize and display most emoji people send). It actually runs a slimmed down version of android and you can root it and run some stuff, though most things are a pain to use. I've got signal, jerboa, and adaway running on mine, though I haven't found another browser that plays nice yet.

You age proportionally to the plant until the effect is done.

i.e. make a plant that takes 10 days to grow to maturity grow in the span of 2 days, you age 10 days in those 2 days

Sorta, sorta not. Looking at the wiki page, it used "EdgeHTML" as the browser engine, which was a fork of ie's engine (MSHTML). But it was a massive overhaul removing a bunch of legacy code and rewriting parts to fit modern standards and to make it compatible with webkit. It was maintained alongside ie11.

I remember testing it out and it being a lot faster than ie was when it first came out, but I've always been a ff user so I didn't switch to it.
