I want to know how you do manage your time to read. At the beginning of the year, I've made a resolution to read more this year but after 3 or 4 months of good reading, I was back to my "old version". Some good practices?
I think the standard advice is to read as part of a wind down routine before bed, but I always found myself still reading an hour before I needed to get up. Or forcing myself to bed and still being awake thinking about the book hours later. Lots of people get audio books for their commute or bring a book on the bus. Unfortunately, my solution was to leave a book by the toilet. Regular but necessarily limited time.
The Anhinga is commonly found in southeastern swamps so the bird’s increased presence in New Jersey is peculiar, experts said. Have you seen this devilish bird?

On Tuesday, it was reported that North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Anita Earls could be ousted from her seat for judicial ethics violations. Did she fail to disclose gifts from a billionaire benefactor on whose cases she was ruling? No. Maybe she’d gone on luxury vacations across the globe paid for by some of the richest...
Setting aside politics for a second, their size could prematurely erase any identity kbin was going to develop.
I also think we need better mod tools before federating with big, active communities. And the ability to have someone take over magazines without active mods, so the little magazines getting by without them don't just become spam havens for shitheads. Some of that should get added in the next big update.
I tried to find out why kitchen tubs and showers might be a thing (back when some were first posted here) and read an article about how ages ago in new york, landlords were required by law to provide baths for tenants. So they just stuck them where there was already a water hookup. So, in old apartments in New York, you'll occasionally run into a kitchen tub.
So far that new knowledge has been completely irrelevant to the kitchen/bath situations posted here, but maybe someday it will be useful that I know that now and I won't be left assuming a fetish situation.
Emotions. Messy things aren’t they? One minute you’re feeling on top of the world, and the next you’re at your lowest point. And whilst I don’t think (or hope) a video game could ever make you feel those sort of emotions, they’re still capable of eliciting some very powerful moments indeed....
I think Final Fantasy X was the first game that ever made me cry. Or that I remember making me cry. I played FFVII when it came out and it must've gotten a few tears out of me.
I tried a couple of times to make www.reddit.com/r/cuttingedgegaming/ happen, but never reached many people. This community seems to mostly folks playing 1-2 year old games, I wonder if there are more of us who are playing older (but not “retro”) games, particularly PC games?
What's fun with indie games and playing on a delay is that when I want to play a new game and grab something in my price range off my wishlist, I often have no idea what the game is or why past me thought I'd want to play it. Time wipes out any spoilers I got reading about it or watching someone play it years ago.
