Wild. I bought a car from Carvana in 2022 and the interest rate back then was 6% on a 3-year loan, which was on the high side of normal for the time period.

$80. It's that 8bitdo C64-style one. I am a big fan. Love the feel of the box white v2 switches combined with spherical keycaps.

I've been deep into Persona 5 Royal for weeks now. I'm now on the home stretch to the final big boss battle, and it has been awesome. I've put something like 75 hours into it. I'm going to miss it when I'm done, but I do also have Persona 4 Golden sitting and waiting for its turn. I played Persona 3 ReLoad last year and that was my first Persona experience, and totally got me hooked.

I think mall landlords will do that if occupancy drops low enough, because once your mall gets known for being a dead mall, you’re fucked.

So, I've got a 9th generation Kindle Oasis and its battery is really starting to show its age. This is also one of the models where it is damn near impossible to replace the battery. Any attempts that I have read about online resulted in broken screens and sadness.

I'm not too wedded to the Amazon ecosystem, but I do like being able to borrow library books, which my local library allows in the form of sending them to your amazon account. I have a few books from the kindle store, but not a ton.

I've been looking around online for a replacement e-ink reading device, and the Boox Page has caught my eye. I'm curious how those have been performing for anyone who's got one here, since they've been out for a while now. I like the idea of it not being tied to any particular vendor's store, and the fact that I could install the Kindle and Libby apps on it, along with, apparently, pretty much anything else available in the Play store.

Important things for me are battery life and having physical page turn buttons, as well as a built in light so that I can read in bed without bothering my wife with a table lamp or something.

I would love to see some feedback from people who own these devices.

Also, does anyone know how often the Boox store restocks them? It's been showing as unavailable every time I check over the past few days.
