Before I can legitimize an e-reader I have to finish the stacks of real books laying in piles on my shelves

When I lived in Copenhagen, I biked every day, but really only to the metro station. The great bike infrastructure was coupled with great walking infrastructure, so there were very few times I actually needed a bike. Also seemingly paradoxically, better biking infrastructure also meant greater risk of crashing, simply because of the volume of riders. Rush hours are a real sight, seeing hundreds of people move in a single blob down the street. There’s as many rules of the road as we have for cars, and I’m honestly surprised they don’t require licenses. I had only been there for a couple months when I got in my first accident. Neither of us were hurt, but we fell in the road in front of an oncoming bus lol. I feel bad for the guy, my beater of a bike’s spokes got stuck in his super fancy brake and it snapped off. I’ll still take that crash over anything I’d experience in the US though. The real danger is the people on mopeds who use the bike paths. I saw it a lot with food delivery drivers unfortunately.

Little fun Danish bicycle tidbit: pretty much everyone calls it cycling there. Biking is only for motorcycles, and “bikers” and “rockers” are what the media still calls gang members. Allegedly this is because of the Hell’s Angels and other biker gangs, who have been in Scandinavia for decades and still run a lot of the drug trade.

Just broke my wrist, and it takes me like 10x as long to type anything. I had been looking into written alternatives for a while, and this blew me over the edge. I like the Remarkable 2, but I don't think I can justify that much on a device that can only read and write documents without trying one out first. The other option people keep recommending to me is an ipad. I don't have one of those either, but I've used one with a paper screen so at least I know how that feels. My biggest problem with the ipad is the opposite of the Remarkable, there are too many apps and I have no idea which to use. So what apps do you use, if any, or do you use another thing entirely?

Dwarf bard Marx is the best thing to come out of this game. He's also a sage and a tome bard so he's got that +3 historical materialism skill on top of his persuasion. And of course his guardian had to be buff half-elf Engels gigachad-hd

Mark Twain once said that God invented war so Americans would learn geography. Evidently, God didn’t try hard enough.
