I am not sure how he handles the initial download. But he wanted to put in a bunch of heuristics to make a more presentable epub without miss-sized images, unfortunate line breaks etc.

Wanting everyone to like you is normal. Being willing to compromise to make it happen is not.

I talked to my cousin about it and he is just converting the html5 version of the project Gutenberg ebooks into epub3 after doing some clean up.

Well, Merry Christmas anyway.

Only a small fraction of us are obsessing over space. I do it because I love exploring and I can't wait for all the beautiful lives and stories that will happen amongst the stars.

More space allows more people, and I love people.

But it is also hard to fix every problem in a closed environment. When people explore it seems obvious that it is a waste of time and resources since there is no way to know what they will find.

Explorers came to the Americas seeking gold, but what they found instead was timber and fertile soil. Those resources absolutely made life in Europe better.

But space has no timber or fertile soil! Exactly, we will go looking for places to colonize but find???? No idea, but if there is something out there that will make life better on earth, we won't know till we look.

Maybe it will be better to move heavy manufacturing off world so we don't pollute as much. Maybe stricter limitations on resources will lead to more efficient HVAC or water recycling. Worth a try.

It was very Independence Day of them. Most beautiful failure to date.

Absolutely! I don't really even use it even though I understand how it works. I don't understand how to use it in a practical sense.

I run Bitcoin core even, still have no idea how to use Bitcoin without a massive amount of hassle.

It isn't that marketing is easy, it is that for my vaporware it is unnecessary. People will be so agast that they ever survived without my patented spork/salt-shaker they will mostly just need to know what to write on the check.

Thanks we tried the coffee. It maybe helped? It is hard to tell.

I already aired out the house in -1⁰F weather. It was that bad. The scent still lingers.

How are you using it? I am almost an exclusive small grid template guy.

Lol, I think you convinced yourself. I simply added usage data. But glad to hear you like it!

The fact that I have no idea what you mean is comforting.

Though the fact you agree with us, does make us question if we got it right.

Whew! It nice to get affirmation from a unique perspective.

We had a meeting and decided that you are the most unique. Because you weren't at the meeting.

The forced conclusion is that the original statement, in defiance of your singular intellect, was in fact illogical.

If we have the proposition "minds think alike" we'd like to draw conclusions as to quality of those minds, but the truth is... We can't.

I have got caught in this trap, it was brought on by two people that I considered wholesale idiots using the great minds phrase to congratulate themselves for shared idiocy.

But then I got caught in an endless loop of trying to decide whether great or weak minds were more likely to "think alike"

My 3 decade search for answer only resolved when you introduced average minds to the calculus. For that I am forever in your debt.

Hard disagree, mostly because I refuse to believe you have an average mind.
