The question reminds me of a skit: https://youtu.be/v-lYREzDN6U

On my generic android I am using Textra pro version. I do not know how good it is by comparison to other apps, but they keep updating and I am used to it.

Fascinating. Thanks for the information! :) Now I know way more than ever wanted :D

The person was an actual contractor agent of the organization, doing inspections and such flying state to state - that’s why I gave it more credibility than heresay. But look how far it got me. Lol

I was told - but I never fact checked it - that the FDA actually has less than 10 employees. Everyone else is an outside contractor. And if it is true, I do think it needs better organization.
If an agency that has to protect all consumers is organized this way, that’s really worrisome.

I hate this advice, but because its true for all tasks also:
“You don’t need to wait til 1:45 to start studying.”
So just start at 1:32:30.

Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, or BDS, has gained momentum, encouraging individuals to use their purchasing power as an effective tool for change.

I’m just repeating the obvious thing: always take off your outside shoes in your living quarters, and have home shoes. You can also do this with your clothes, having a separate comfy set. Jut to keep the outside clothes off of your furniture / bed.

I did this with having no kids.
“Ohh I’m not in a position to create a good life for an offspring.”
“Ohh now I’m over 40 no kids for me, I guess it’s better anyway. The climate catastrophe is real the World is on fire.”

Aside of the things others mentioned, it helps with developing good balance and that could save a lot of grief for older people.

Input Input Input! I’m addicted to continuous inputs and reactions.
If i can keep my brain running I do not need a phone. I’m happy with a good book for hours.

The thing that comes only with age is: to not give a fuck.

When we learn that it doesn’t matter we can all be little old people who are purple mohawk headed, wearing clashing neon adidas jumpsuit with zebra primted boas.

I’m still convinced that the aluminum in deodorants are not safe either…

I brush my teeth and floss every night before going to sleep.

Half of the cars (okay 25% ish) in Nevada using California plates to save on insurance… I hope this will help this trend.

Honor means a lot of different things. And it has been used to commit so many different crimes against minorities.

I think nowadays in the western culture it means individual honor. It means to be trustworthy and to stand by your word. By the classic saying: “A gentleman can settle the bill later”.

The way late stage capitalism goes, honor culture will be left behind. Where every individual is reduced to a number, the concept is disappearing. You pay first before pumping gas. And the only time your wow matters is in the court when you say you won’t lie.

That sounds like a special scenario.
Tho I’m not sure if a book needs a narrator it can be still called a book instead of a theater piece or voice play.

I like Google tts. I tried Samsung’s one and I just couldn’t find a good pitch/tone that I liked from it.

This is why I said that I am going to be controversial.
Text to speech is only going to be better with time.
My most important preference is to have the text delivered without reader bias towards its contents. And that’s only possible with computer speech.
