damn. were going to be losing another cool manga download site.

Mangatraders is going away soon. at least the download part.

My lazy, non paying ass is mad.

Supposedly the site no longer lets you download, but im still able to. I'm gonna milk it till i cant do it no more. I cant download to a tablet, but my laptop is still able to.

I lost a lot of manga when my old laptop got stolen. I dont have as much time as I used to back in the day to download them all.

I dont know how to torrent :?

Oh well it was free while it lasted.

excuse me while I spend all night in overdrive.

Read one yesterday. Today is day two.

If you see me here posting a ton and being distracted, please send me a PM to get my ass in gear. :lol:
Day three is today, and I am starting the third book. This one is the longest and I have the most other stuff to do today, so it will be a stretch. Hopefully it holds my interest and I can power through…
You read books a lot quicker than I do now ha ha, but I do get easily distracted somehow :lol:
Boom! Three books, three days! Done!

Now, time to see if I can boil down my thoughts on these (they are all excellent) into just 3,000 words in the next few days... :?

@Ziggy

What happens if you buy electric car? Maybe its an option to save money? I am just guessing that since its electric then it will last longer than fuel burning combustion and whatever goes on int he regular engines

Nobody's doing anything about this. Just keep prescribing pills, chaps!
:
I agree. I really feel the modern life is stressful. I am not too old, but back around '97 it was something if you had a college degree. Today, at least where I live, if you don't you might as well not apply for any white collar jobs. Being bilingual is no longer impressive, the billion is the new million, and there is just so much stuff and new bills to pay for like cable, internet, cellphone, netflix, tv's (IIRC it used to be 1 tv a home), laptops. Also the over load of information is not helping. i have tabs in my browser that have been open for at least a year I think.

Can please describe to me the drug you use that gives you the ability to concentrate for so long?

I'm doing a review on them for an academic journal, so at some point I can share the published piece with you.

Purely electric cars have shorter ranges than gas ones do and with any electric or hybrid car the batteries wear out just like they do in your phone or any other rechargeable device. People like to claim that electric cars are 'non polluting' but even if you only consider the day to day operations impact, there's still a power plant somewhere that's being used to recharge the car. I hope that hydrogen or fusion will eventually help lessen the impact of daily vehicle propulsion.
