  1. Several brands now offer waterproof e-readers for your outdoor reading.

  2. It’s a thing. try to stop your message being interpreted differently from how you meant it. One of many determinisms that are a thing, unless they are not.

  3. The idea that things are or aren’t deterministic in texts is wrong. Everything is subject to some, in differing amounts. That’s how it works. ie: “There is one main message that the author is trying to teach the children that are watching and there is no room for question the points that the author is bringing forward. In complex television like The Soprano’s, there is room for interpretation….”

  4. Why are schools still using textbooks in this age when they can easily access limited digital learning resources?

  5. This? (already)

  6. They exist, and you can buy them on Amazon.

  7. I have often thought this would be a good idea. This article points out that it would be handy for scientific journals. The old paper book has had it’s day to be honest. There is more to one side to a story, its a learning adventure that should extend beyond the cover of the book.

  8. I thought I had one of these once, but just googled the book and it was a misprint or something went wrong. Probs a collectors item, not.

  9. Some schools in New Zeland do this, not sure why they don’t do it elsewhere seeing as their goal is to improve litracy.

  10. in the UK, there has been talk of click-and-collect services during covid, not sure if it actually happened anywhere but if it did, there is no reason why they can’t do the same during summer holidays and term breaks. This is an online resource for those who see libraries as a essential resource, rather than a cheeky way to take the money and refuse to provide the service we paid for.

  11. There’s this, but yep, an app your uni recommends would allow all colleges and unis to offer the service to students. The costs of new books are silly tbh and you only use them once, if at all.

  12. Newcastle Uni has a programme for this, but there should be a site or app where you just list your course and it finds the cheapest version of each second-hand book you will need.

  13. Another great use for a type of compostable plastic

  14. You can laugh, but there are good lessons to be learned from this story. I suggest the op read this article. “True, reliable eyewitness accounts are never completely parallel and identical. Instead, they are different pieces of the same puzzle, unintentionally supporting and complementing each other to provide all the details related to what really happened.”

  15. Not sure how accurate this idea is tbh. It wasn’t specified if these 2 fish were the same species or not. So it could be fishesfinger sandwiches/buns/baps/baguettes. https://www.grammarly.com/blog/fish-fishes/#:~:text=The%20plural%20of%20fish%20is,often%20referred%20to%20as%20fishes.

  16. “The fish were this big”. Yes, Jesus was prone to exaggeration. No wonder Matt, Mark, Lucas and Jonny foreigner pimped the tale somewhat.

  17. ‘ERBS

  18. Agreed. I buy physics books from Amazon, only it recommends science fiction gifts like starwars figures. I mean, this AI is thick as shit. It can’t even find books by the same author when it spams me with recommendations. Needs to be improved as people are getting sick of naff recommendations from amazon and netflicks, it defeats the object and hides more promising suggestions.

  19. there’s this on product hunt but it doesn’t use feedback from your kid, yet.
