Bonjour,

Je regardais récemment mon compte Amazon et j'ai vu que ma Kindle a maintenant 10 ans. Peut être c'est mon seul achat qui a 10 ans et est toujours là. Je l'ai acheté quand j'étais étudiant et pourtant 150€ n'était pas une petite somme pour moi à cette époque. Je ne me rappelle pas pourquoi je l'ai acheté car j'avais accès aux livres de la bibliothèque universitaire. Peut-être je voulais lire des bouquins en anglais qui n'y était pas disponibles.

J'ai lu beaucoup de livres grâce à elle, ça m'a permis d'apprendre l'anglais et l'espagnol et je n'avais plus à faire des heures dans le bus pour chercher un bouquin qui se trouve dans une bibliothèque à l'autre bout de la ville.

Many rich people are "donating" to avoid paying taxes and it another way for marketing. You are the proof of that, you are defending and promoting her.

Billionaires like her are the reason we have poverty and charity associations

I was raised poor so even now that I can afford it, I feel something forbidding me from buying cake. That and knowing that I gain weight very easily and it takes me lots of hours to get raid of it.

Imagine buying 14TB and find out that it is 12TB instead.

People always says AI do create only variations but many successful TV shows are variations. I started watching sitcoms from the 70s and many things were copied/adapted in recent shows.

It only cares about the US. It even censor things related to sex even when it is OK in Europe.

I have an old computer that I use for storing and streaming my media. It has an attached external drive. I would like to increase my storage and build something that could be extensible to at least 100TB. I am not worried about backup.

I looked and I think I need a HDD rack or enclosure. Some people gave me links to good deals on ebay and some other sellers but they are based on the US and shipping fees are high. I saw this HDD enclosure and it seems to be what I am searching but I don't if they are good.

Do you have some advices for me?

I am watching sitcoms from the 70s and you notice that they last for 25-26 minutes instead of 22 minutes.

That's just an excuse because many drugs are sold at prices much lower what they are sold in the US. They are not selling them at loss in other countries.

I even was thinking if that episode from Seinfeld not just a scheme pulled by McDonald's.

Do you know what happened to the author? I liked when he started posting on Reddit. At one time he said he had an accident.

In Europe at least if strong authentication was done during the purchase (and it is mandatory since a few years), the merchant is protected and the bank issued the card will take the loss. They don't need to refund or pay fees for charge back.

A single knife is basically sufficient for everything, it is just the system pushing you to buy things you don't really need.

Je regarde un Sitcom de 1980 et on parle de réchauffement climatique. 40+ ans après rien n'a été fait. C'est déprimant.
