I bought a Boox Palma. The screen cracked on the first day. I wholeheartedly do not recommend them as a company as their customer support response is always “not our fault.” A quick google will find others who had the same experience I did.

I am an IT professional. I have had Kindles and Kobos and have NEVER had a screen break on any device. This company needs to be called out and boycotted.

Per the post…Android itself is old, yes…but they never promised security updates…only updates to the firmware. I don’t have a problem with this. Retroid is similar in that their devices are not current android, though not nearly as bad as Boox. It all depends on how you use a device as to if this is really an issue or not.

100% this. I found the book “The Gifts of Imperfection” by Brene Brown to be very helpful with mentally working through this. I still feel guilt occasionally but knowing that I am the way I am and that guilt does not provide a productive resolution to the “problem” typically is enough to pull me through.

To me, brain fog feels like my thoughts are swimming in the subconscious ocean and it takes a lot of energy to dive down and actually comprehend them. It isn’t that the thoughts do not exit, but rather that they are outside of reach of use until significant mental effort is undergone to reach them. Using those thoughts for any purpose then requires even more mental energy…energy that feels like the mental equivalent of walking up the stairs…it seems easy for the first few steps but progressively gets harder until at some point, if you haven’t used the thoughts yet, you just give up out of sheer exhaustion.

You are bringing back bad retail days memories lol

Comfort food: Drop dumplings (simple flour, salt, water only) in chicken broth. No veggies. No meat. Just dumplings.

Comfort activity: hiding in a closet. I am nearly 40 and will still do this XD

https://therecipecritic.com/air-fryer-whole-chicken/ is the last recipe I used. I recommend it!

Reheating fried food in the air fryer changed how I view leftovers. Also, love roasted veggies or air fryer whole chicken. I use my air fryer a lot more than I thought I would.

Get bitter apple spray for chewing and handle paws, teeth, gums, belly, tail when young. My dog is defensive when nail clipping and it is obnoxious. Keep high value treats on hand and start training as early as you can.

That’s what I wish I did when my dog was a puppy.

Haha I never knew a fridge video could be so engaging!
