Considering that most audiobooks (after the discount) fall in at around $0.75/hr, you'd have to be listening to 4ish hours a day to break a hundred bucks a month (unless you listen at a higher playback speed; I don't). 2-3 hours a day is probably my personal average.

I'm not one to bash pirating - I do it for audiobooks with exclusivity deals from time to time. But I hope that if you are pirating all your audiobooks that you donate to the author directly to make up for it.

The credit is for a full book, regardless of book cost.

So you get one full book and then any other books you buy are discounted.

But the big reason I go with them is they give you DRM free audio files of the books to download and keep. Most books are both in m4a and mp3 format.

Funny, the fight choreography between Ashoka and Baylan was a highlight of the show for me.

I loved the deliberate feeling to the fight. It felt more like the classic lightsaber fights. Closer to the samurai duels of old which those original fights were inspired by.

A major complaint I've had against Star Wars since the 90s was how flashy and acrobatic they made saber fights. It made them lose much of their weight.

Highly unlikely.

Anyone with an R next to their name would be commiting political suicide to cross the isle like that.

We might see one of the more centrist Rs try to broker a power sharing deal if things get too bleak though since it's apparent the freedom caucus does not know what compromise or negotiation means.

I have a subscription to libro.fm for that

Wow. Useless.

Last audiobook I did was 52 hours long.

It's been awhile since I've done a book shorter than 15 hours.

Because he can't be trusted to share power.

McCarthy had two choices:
Do what the freedom caucus wanted and never see anything pass the Senate.
Make a deal across the isle and get some work done.

He dragged his feet, hymed and hawed and eventually caved in on option 2 as it's the only reasonable one.

Then he proceeded to attack those who he just made a deal with the very next day.

He could have instead said that real leadership is finding compromises that move things forward but he's lose MAGA voters who see the government burning down as an upside.

So he sold his soul, again, to those crazies and yet again proved he isn't reliable.

Does this benefit the House as an organization?

Absolutely not. But the clown show that will follow in the next few weeks will make the GOP look horrible at least.

And maybe, just maybe, some of the more sensible parts of the GOP will come to the Democrats with a power sharing deal that will completely neuter the freedom caucus once they see how hopeless their situation is.

Don't blame them for not wanting a bunch of night clubs open until 2 am.

It's fucking horrible.

You can if they were mp3s instead of audio tracks!

Most cd players are able to handle both since like 2003.

Aww, I was in the area then and didn't even know.

Depends on the state of transition.

If fully transitioned then no I wouldn't consider them bi.

If not though, then yes they are bi to some extent

And must testify in the other RICO cases, which is most important.

This is getting the small fries to turn and help catch the bigger fish.
