I'd seen this link and assumed it was an Onion-style site.

If someone finds out that this is fake, please just... shh, let us have this one

As soon as I saw the logo the theme song played in my head.

I've found the quality on Gutenberg varies massively - since an epub is basically a zipped html file, I've had plenty that are just barely-converted text files, with problems like incorrect character encoding and that everything's one big chapter.

Yup, roadie wrap those cables and maintain things well.

My laptop is nine years old and has done more travelling than most people and has been used at the beach, on boats and near a waterfall. It's needed new memory, the spinning drive replacing/upgrading to SSD and a new battery but I've never cared about cosmetic damage. It's also clean, because that's part of maintenance.

My Kindle looks like the end of Rocky II.

Maybe! I checked the Amazon update page and it looks like older models aren't getting the update. Lucky you.

Unfortunately, just before that video aired Amazon broke jailbreaking with their 5.18.1 update (both for existing and new jailbreakers). WinterBreak is broken. Hopefully it can be worked around, but my guess will be that it's not going to be possible again.

I'm going to get a Kobo Clara BW and use Koreader on there.

Tech is a tool to me and tools shouldn't be pristine and unused.

My criticism would be that there's no cuticle, but if it's 100% realism you're after then I guess that's not top of the list...

It was a Flash animation originally. Many of his animations looped, but some of them had the issue that the sound and imagery weren't exactly the same length, so would go out of sync as it repeated.

edit: Here's the original hosted on the Internet Archive, running on the Ruffle emulator: https://archive.org/details/flash_badger

I keep seeing stupid, seemingly very person-specific definitions get the votes, stuff like "John: a really sexy, clever boy that all the girls want to be with"
