I managed to download all my Kindle books before Amazon took away that ability. Thank goodness I found a script that made it go faster. Now I have them on a kindle but also backed up.
Amazon can fuck right off with this book bullshit.

How do these billionaires think they're going get cured or treated if they get sick once the pipeline for medical breakthroughs is shut off?

@kingrat Total rainfall as of 9:30AM Thurs was 1.67 in. A couple of hours later, it was already nearly half an inch. I just peeked (Fri AM) and we're at 0.85 with 3.5 hours to go before it's 24 hours. There was a lot of intense rainfall.

I took a peek at the rain gauge. We are over an inch since it started raining at about 5:30 PM last night. Road closure notices are coming in.

@kingrat They looked really good as he was making them. They're a good comfort food.

I am in my jammies and ready for bed. My son is in the kitchen making nachos and when I said “You’re making nachos now?” He looked right at me and said “There have been nacho ingredients in the house all day.”

Nobody calling themselves a TikTok refugee is taking anything from actual refugees. Sensible people know this. English just works this way. Calm down folks. And welcome to anyone looking for some place to go after TikTok.

@kingrat Agree that Slow Horses is really good. Gary Oldman is stellar. FWIW, I dnf'd Foundation. Did not work for me in the least.

@kingrat Severance.

@kingrat We do!!!

@kingrat Sending hugs.

@kingrat Yeah, I'm gonna start doing that. This is BS.

I run Win 11 on a VM on my Mac and now I'm wondering if I should. Most of the time it's suspended because I've found alternatives for the things I needed Windows for. It's convenient to have, but the last thing I need is the VM suddenly sucking resources away from the Mac because MS won't let me opt out of BS like Recall.

@kingrat And a good morning to you, too!

If I say "Come over around 1 or 2 PM" what time do you arrive?

Bay Area peeps! A short USGS video about San Francisco Bay Area wetlands. Less than two minutes, but very interesting.
