I like the UI and though it's quite barebones, it looks great. Different from the other apps. I'll wait for updates excitedly!
I quite like it tho. Recently I read Children of Time (featuring spiders) and this could be a good wallpaper representing my fondness for the book!
Unfinished as it may be, I think it's perfect hahaha
Try the low one for a month and set a soft and hard limit, then evaluate. That's what I did, but I didn't go beyond 260 searches hahaha
Have you read the Riyria Revelations by Michael J. Sullivan? The main duo is a solid 10/10
Have had my 330ml insulated bottle from a mystery brand for 7 years now. Paint is chipped and looks quite sorry in general, but I love it. I carry it around everywhere.
I also have a 630ml one from Quokka for very hot Summer days.
Lastly I have a 500ml Chilli's for my job, which I also use daily.
For cleaning the bottles, I suggest using those tabs that are sold for cleaning dental accessories like retainers. If you use something to scrub them from the inside you can create little lines that end up catching bacteria.
I've been using Kagi for two months now and I can't recommend it enough. Whatever I search is always on the first results, no need to filter SEO crap.
Also it's incredibly fast.
I'm not a heavy search user so their lowest tier (5$, 300 searches) is more than enough for me. I can see how the costs can add up for someone that is a heavier user tho

I started reading this book because of the amount of people that describe it as a 'must read' for Japan travel enthusiasts or in general, people that feel curious about the country and its people.
I have to say that whatever joy Alan Booth (the author) may have felt upon his trip, little of it got reflected in his book. Though he travels across some interesting and mostly unknown places for foreigners, he barely describes anything at all, and resorts to complaining.
He complains about his wet socks, his blistered hands, his horrible thirst, the way he gets treated like a circus monkey across the whole trip... Very few times does he refer to the beauty of whatever he is seeing, barely describes anything beyond the most basic characteristics of each place.
He does do a remarkable job at explaining certain cultural elements and History of Japan, but his interactions with people seem oddly empty and completely fueled by sake, racism and beer. An unholy amount of beer. There's beer mentioned almost in every page, in such a way that made me wonder if the man ever drank water at all.
I liked the fact that the book doesn't portray Japan as a land of rainbows and sunshine, full of wise people and deep thoughts, but focusing only in the litter, the contamination and the lack of hospitality (there are several instances in which he gets helped or shown acts of kindness but he barely bothers addressing them at all) makes it seem that he did the 2000 miles with a gun pointed to his head. He also has a weird way of talking about the young women that he encounters along this trip, which made me deeply uncomfortable.
He had a golden chance to talk about places out of reach to the average tourist, and he missed it quite spectacularly.
Al in all, the book is easy to read and entertaining, but leaves a sour aftertaste.
TL;DR: Beer, 'Gaijin! Gaijin!, 'sorry we are full', beer
One of my favorite books ever! I've read it several times and it gets better each time!
It sparked my interest in books set in those times, and perhaps you'll enjoy "The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet", " The Tale of Genji" (not set in that time but fantastic nonetheless) and of course, the rest of Clavell's books in the Asian Saga.
I'm so happy! I've tried all the available apps and Voyager was always my favorite. Now I can uninstall the WebApp and give a respite to my browser history lmao.
On Reddit I was an Infinity user, but I've fallen in love with Voyager
I've been using Koofr.eu for years and never had a single problem. They offer many interesting integrations with encryption tools, WebDAV...
The app creates backups of my phone media (you can choose the folders you want to update) instantaneously, and with its desktop app I can also access to the stuff in my computer.
I'm a hardcore reader, and I use a Kobo Forma daily. I can't say enough good things about it.
Can purchase and download books from any shop, and they'll work in the Kobo, can add stuff like NickelMenu, Dropbox integration...
People complain about the power button on the Forma and rightfully so, as it's crappy. However, the quality build of the device is excellent. Got it almost since launch, take it absolutely everywhere with me (backpacks, bags, to the beach, swimming pool, camping...) and it shows 0 damage, not even a scratch.
I mainly read novels but it also scratches the itch for mangas and comics, as it also reads .cbz format (among others).
NOT GOOD FOR PDFs. They get displayed weirdly, hard to read, are slow to change pages...
Battery is great, better than the Sage's.
If you like reading, get a dedicated device because I swear you won't regret it.
What is that? I have tiny hands, you may be about to change my life lol
