I know everyone has their own principles about this kind of thing, but I'd personally just buy a paperback copy and then download a .epub of it. I'd own the book that way and not have any qualms about having it in .epub format.
It's also pretty easy to remove DRM from ebooks. If I paid for an ebook I'll read it however I want.
I had some back problems for awhile after about 10 years of office sitting. Then I started casually running and doing morning stretches. Nothing very extreme or difficult. I just get the body moving into positions that you wouldn't otherwise do and running jostles the bones a bit.
I'm fine with basically magic, but I do like at least some pseudo explanation of the fictional science. If they leave it as a mystery then it is too far on the fantasy scale for my tastes.
I agree. Now that I know I'm not contributing to a corporations ad revenue I post a lot more. I was reluctant to use Reddit for the longest time and then started 4 months ago. It was an easy thing to give up.
I think "The Foundation Trilogy" is where you start. It was written first. There are then a prequel trilogy and a sequel trilogy. I've also heard it be suggested that the book "End of Eternity" is a kind of prequel prequel, but it's hard to know if Asimov really intended such a thing or if there are merely some coincidences and common themes.
I liked this episode a little bit better than the last one. I'm getting a little bit better feel for where things are headed. Salvor and Gaal are still the most uninteresting part of this show for me, but that could change if they actually start doing things to influence the rest of the plot.
I wish there was more technical explanation of how Gaal and Salvor could see the future and the past. Is this based on anything or is it basically just magic? I remember in the beginning of season 1 Gaal was partially awake during that subspace transit. I thought they would bring that up again as to how it messed up her mind in some quantum weirdness, but I guess not.
As for Cleon this episode. I'm surprised he didn't just kill this woman on the spot. His temper and arrogance in the past made it seem like he would find her unacceptably insulting. It's also surprising that there doesn't need to be some kind of unanimous agreement among the entire Cleon tree as they call it for such drastic decisions like ending the Cleon cloning lineage. Day apparently has this authority on his own?
I normally find there are plenty of green and yellow bananas. Grab a few of each and just eat them in slightly non-optimal ripeness. I don't think you can really gauge a bananas ripeness down to the day anyway.
It makes it look like spam. I'm not interested in accommodating people outside of Lemmy. Things being federated among Lemmy instances is one thing, but I think trying to deal with PixelFed and Mastodon in the same system is a bit too far. I've look at Lemmy activity from the perspective of Mastodon and it is awful. This isn't a feature I believe needs to be a thing.
I'd prefer to logon to Mastodon or PixelFed directly and use their federated systems separate from others.
BiliBili did skip the first book. The first 5 minutes are the ending of the first book I suppose. However, Tencent recently adapted the first book into a 30 episode live action series.
Don't get your hopes up too much if you watch this animated adaptation. It only loosely follows the book and only gets about a third of the way through. They turned it into some kind of love story. Still, I enjoyed it for the most part and I liked the art despite other peoples opinions of it.
As long as they let you display the site onto your monitor you will be able to manipulate what you see. This is a pointless arms race that only wastes peoples time.
I think it is implied, but I suspect if ads started showing up frequently that it would become an explicit rule. It is already explicitly against the rules for bots to post spam which would cover most ads.
In your account settings you can set the default home view to "subscribed". Even without doing that "subscribed" should be one of the sort options on the home view of any Lemmy app.
