5 home appliances that will change your life and allow you to cook tons of gourmet food extremely easily and at a low cost.
I own a Vitamix, a Zojirushi rice cooker, and a Zojirushi Home Bakery Supreme. I also own the instant pot max, and an air fryer by Sur la table. Between these appliances they help me make 90% of my food at home. The food is relatively easy, especially once you get the hang of the recipes, and they taste incredible!...

Thank you to those that recommended the library for SF
I recently posted asking if Kindle Unlimited is a good value for SF because I was reading a lot and it was expensive. Some of you suggested I try the library instead. I’m in Los Angeles, so I got a digital library card for the Los Angeles Public Library....

Should I do some more book spotlight threads (not just for banned books)

I can even do nonfiction book highlights...

Recommendations for BAME authors?
I’ve been told I need to read more sci fi by non-white authors and looking at my shelves I think it’s true and I want to try something new. But I realised I sadly couldn’t think of any authors off the top of my head! Can anyone recommend anything?

How to make an MP3 player work in 2023?
If I wanted an MP3 player again, in 2023, and wanted to rip cds to it and put digitally purchased albums on it, as actual owned files (not inside an proprietary ecosystem where I pay to only listen to that track within that service) could I still do that? What would I need? I don’t own, and can’t afford, a “real...
