Open Library
Open Library is an online project intended to create "one web page for every book ever published". Created by Aaron Swartz, Brewster Kahle, Alexis Rossi, Anand Chitipothu, and Rebecca Malamud, Open Library is a project of the Internet Archive, a nonprofit organization. It has been funded in part by grants from the California State Library and the Kahle/Austin Foundation. Open Library provides online digital copies in multiple formats, created from images of many public domain, out-of-print, and in-print books.
Open Library claims to have over 20 million records in its database. Copies of the contents of tens of thousands of modern books have been made available from 150 libraries and publishers for ebook controlled digital lending. Other books including in-print and in-copyright books have been scanned from copies in library collections, library discards, and donations, and are also available for lending in digital form. In total, the Open Library offers copies of over 1.4 million books for what it calls "digital lending", but critics have called distribution of digital copies a violation of copyright law.

claiming our method of communication wasn't masculine behaviour.
Pity you can't hold yourSELF to that standard on a masculinity oriented website.
the original topic of discussion, which was the utter incompetence and complete failure of the city and county of Los Angeles and the state of California
LOL... I'm sure you know how threaded discussions work so I'll chalk it up to a brain fart that you didn't revisit @Redpillschool's OP.
Almost everyone who DOESN'T live here has tried to map the fires to their own political mindset and presuppositions, and post their own brainfart ideas about causes with a hefty load of certainty and self-righteousness, all before they've approached even 20% containment.
Musk's nazi-like salute highlights the need for balance in life. Sure, with him against wokeism and all, but unhinged is unhinged. You don't fight the woke hysterics by becoming their mirror opposite.
Been lying about my age to my LTR for 6 months, should i reveal it?
I'm 32
I'm rarely attracted to girls of my age, and even then, most of them don't take me seriously and believe i'm a student
I basically look like i'm in my early 20's, so i started telling girls i meet at the club/bar that i'm 24, because they got the ick half of the time when i would tell my real age, depsite being attracted to me
i met current gf at a bar 6 months ago, told her i'm 24 the night i met her, she is 20YO, everything is goine fine, she is super attracted, she isn't suspisious about anything
I even met her parents/sister/friends, they like me a lot
Not sure what to do at this point, just reveal my age and see how it goes? I can't get prosecuted because the majority is 18 in my country
You didn't care enough about this to tell her six month ago, and if she doesn't know by now, then she clearly doesn't care. Stop over-thinking this like it's a problem and just enjoy the time you spend with her when you spend time with her. With what you've share, should fortune smile upon you let your tombstone be the thing that lets her know how much older than her you were.

- They don't drink alcohol
- They didn't DO anything
- The hotel staff were mean to them because they (the staff) are LIBERALS
- They aren't leaving despite getting trespassed from the property
As someone in the comments said, "I'd pay $100 to watch a video of these two in a room with all their family, friends and colleagues, while the bodycam footage and sound is played!"
Personally, I never thought I would wish so hard to see a video that included police brutality.
The onshore winds helped push those fires along
Technical non-trivial correction: the Santa Ana Winds driving these wildfires are offshore winds; dry from the desert and with different funneling behavior in the foothills and canyons where the fires spread.
If they WERE onshore winds, their humidity would be much higher, and wind concentration in canyons and passes much less intense.
Today the Santa Anas are blowing strong again, making the air so dry that static electricity shocks my dogs and cats when I reach out to pet them, and in the dark the hand-fur interface crackles with blue sparks with each stroke.
