An alternative is plain old school irc. I'm not kidding.
Connect to irc.irchighway.net then /j #ebooks then !search <author and/or title>
Receive search results via xdcc which gives you the commands to download that stuff.
Or query one of the bots (e. g. @bsk) and get a list of hundreds of thousands of books that are available and search that for what you want.
I prefer that over ad infested one click hosters with countdowns, link shortener cascades and captchas. I find and get the stuff much faster by using irc.
That's an interesting take! Maybe I should do that too, when I restart learning Italian again.
Une, due, tre. Short and simple enough for me!
Or I go the masochist route and name them il ragazzo, la ragazza, i ragazzi and le ragazze. :D
I like the tape. Won't hold but also won't fall apart especially if you want to remove it. The right kind of mixture to make yourself hate yourself. :D
The people back then lived to 60-70 years. The average life expectancy was 30-40 years because of the extremely high child mortality. Almost like half the children died before they became 10 years old. Most of them died within their first year when the body and immune system are still very weak.
The breeder of my dog gave him the name Timber vom Uckersee (Timber of Ucker lake). Yes, he was considered a noble because the breeder made sure to keep the blood line clean and that the dog showed all the features that defines this particular breed.
The Ucker lake is a lake nearby. The dog was part of the 20th litter of the breeder that's why all the offspring got names starting with a t, the 20th letter of the alphabet.
We usually called our dog just Timmi (or Timmy for English speakers). He was a cocker spaniel with red fur and lived to an age of 14.5 years. A good age for that breed (13-15 years life expectancy). Unfortunately we had to put him down. He had a disease that reduced the blood's ability to transport oxygen. By the time we discovered it all his inner organs were too damaged for him to continue living without serious disabilities.
Now that I remember him I feel sad that I lost him.
Google was already shit for years. Its purpose nowadays is not to deliver whatever search results the user requested, itâs purpose is to keep the user dangling so that he clicks on one of the sponsored links - thatâs money.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the reason you wonât find anything anymore on Google.
You can try DuckDuckGo. They are pretty open on what they do. The search engine is Bing and the maps come from Apple and you can chose your preferred AI from a list.
I havenât heard about the decentralized search engines. Are they any good? Or are they more in like a proof of concept stage?
According to Picard in the Movie First Contact money doesn't exist anymore. I guess those latinum bars are only used by Ferengies, in border systems and outside the Federation.
That doesn't mean there's nothing that measures expense. The Federation might have a lot of available resources but they can't be infinite.
Some episodes and movies show ships that are essentially flying holodecks. Energy doesn't seems to be a problem.
That's the point: You don't need real-world things. The reason the holodeck is so large is to accommodate dozens of people at the same time.
Some kind of multiplayer function across several holodecks should be possible.
You either have a holodoctor for everyone who needs one or the few medical practitioners see a holo of their patient on which they operate. The holoroom the patient is in then replicates what the doctors are doing.
