    fuck you

    I’m going to go read about convexity bias in the price of eurodollar swaps right now, just as soon as I finish watching the Last Week Tonight segment about the US Secret Service.

    Then we’ll see who’s laughing.

      no, because these .pdf files contain reading material with cultural and educational merit and therefore would actually get banned, unlike the other PDF philes :(

    I’ve been downloading so many books and magazines from Anna’s Archive lately for a “TV Typewriter” electronics project I’m working on to go with my Ben Eater cpu breadboard project that I had to buy the first regular hard drive I’ve bought in years. I’ve got all the Radio-Electronics and Byte mags from the 70’s and almost all the books advertised in them. All PDF because the ratty scanned books and the huge filesizes somehow feel more “authentic” than the sterile OCR’ed or ebook formats.

    I have lots of nonfiction pdfs I’ll never read, but index and sometimes text search through when web searches inevitably are useless. Yay AI and SEO.
