I use Book Reader (it's on F-Droid) for my phone, which works well enough... don't know how it performs on a tablet or if it has the features you're looking for.
I would wholeheartedly recommend a dedicated e-reader with E-Ink display for more 'serious' reading (I have a Tolino for the evenings/bed. Depending on where you are located you could also look into PocketBooks or Kobos... just make sure they're not chaining you to a closed ecosystem like Kindles).
Well, but that's not it...
And when he isn't (e.g. dislike of children) he has the strongest will to overcome his inadequacies. I wonder: was there an instance in which he didn't win? (In TNG, never liked the 'Picard' show.)
So yeah, he wins this contest easy. As to who I like the most: Sisko.
Hey, thanks for your post. I'm not from the US and the bit about the hostages was unknown to me.
Sounds like a parallel to what was going on with the military help for Ukraine just now...
This post is pretty spot on.
Actually the public libraries I know have long abandoned the concept of enforced silence (and librarians 'suggesting' what the patrons should and shouldn't read).
They already have different areas for different needs. And often a café close by or integrated (at least in larger cities). In fact the opening hours are most likely the main reason people don't socialise there in the (late) evenings.
Actually there have been several instances where staff members forgot to lock the entry and libraries have been used outside of their opening hours - without any supervision - and the cool part is that nothing has been vandalized or stolen. Kind of like when libraries abandoned fees for overdue media and the number of returned stuff (in time and long overdue) increased significantly. Libraries have a more central position in our culture than most people realize, they only need to adapt to the times and (re)gain some respect of the public. As institutions they might be more needed than they have been in a long time (providing also reliable information, helping to gain (information) literacy and so on).
True, that is what the concept has become. But we need to remember that "third place" originally ment places of business like pubs, cafés, barbershops etc.
Modern cities do need the kind of places you ment - not more malls or apple stores (think I read that it's a new trend to have those resemble places you can casually chill so they can casually sell you their stuff).
Like I feel about most (if not all things): different levels of severe confusion
Yes, this is awesome.
Anyone know the source? Are there different editions/prints to worry about if one were to go looking for the book(s) themselves?
Nice. Are there larger version for each movie available somewhere?
That Tauntaun looks really cool.
Oh, sorry to hear that. DS9 gets pretty good later on - especially the "middle" is great, testing out the limits of the world/starfleet ethics. I think it's my favorite trek... (second being TNG, watched that growing up). Maybe give DS9 another chance and just jump in somewhere after Season 1...
TBH I was pleasantly surprised by SNW as well. I had written off the newer series after trying to like DSC for like 2.5 seasons...
It's still not great, SNW pales in comparison to TOS for example (especially those episodes that take direct 'inspiration'), but it's decent enough to watch. Guess I'm just a Old Trek Geezer or whatever.
LOW is a different genre IMHO, loved almost every episode. But of course you have to know your Trek to appreciate the series.
