Preference aside, because I agree with you, they’re a waste of money and space and natural resources if you only read them once or twice.
I don’t feel that way about reference manuals or books you use to look things up in, though.
Again, to be clear, I prefer handling books. I have many shelves of them. But… It’s illogical these days.
I got the Cadillac at the start of pandemic. Biobidet BB-600. It’s like the nice Japanese ones. My parents have a manually operated one that let’s you set your pressure and nozzle positions. Mine has buttons for all of that.
Bidet. Get a toilet seat bidet. You have poop particles on your butt. No toilet paper is 100% efficient. The bidet will pay for itself in 6 months.
I look down my nose at all of the people with poopy butts. Buncha animals.
Paperback or ebooks? I’ve grown to think most paperback books aren’t worth the money.
I saw something similar as a kid in the 80s. I was in bed and turned around so my feet were against the window so I could look out at the stars. An object, brighter than the stars, was moving downward. It then stopped, shot across the sky, went up, back left, then abruptly rocketed to the right - east (thinking about it now).
I woke up my parents, but they told me to go back to bed.
This obviously preceded the advent of drones and was too fast and high to be a helicopter. I lived in St Pete, FL, which is across the water from MacDill Airforce Base. It’s possible that it was military, but how could anything from that era do this?
I’m 48. I still think about this.
I pirate my books or use the public library program to check ebooks out.
