Do you have the ability to request new books in your library so that that way you could get things you are into? There's also always shadow libraries.
You're probably right - the inflation rates were low for a long time so to get that high from indexation on a 100k loan would be pretty unlikely.
Probably medical degrees etc. However, if I were to do a masters in CS it would be 70k so my total debt would be up to something like 110k. Thus, if I do a masters it will be a cheap US-based one I can cashflow because that's just a stupid amount of debt.
Yeah I assume the reason there isn't is because the general ones are US-centric by default and then everyone else has to have somewhere specific to go. But I guess if they want their own dedicated place too why not?

Cool the world
We're paying them to produce this pollution.
It is a little annoying to see the volume of food they can eat but it's always going to be annoying. I'm a little taller than average so my maintenance is closer to 2100 at the moment but I still look at my brother needing 2700 and get jealous. At the end of the day you'd both be hungry eating under your maintenance.
Just read reviews?
That should definitely be illegal.
I don't think they'll stop until they have the whole historic area of Israel (which includes more than just Palestine.) Crazy that this is allowed.
What did everyone read in June?
What books/comics/mangas etc. Did you read in June?
I think we know that they won't. The U.S. has never universally applied it's ire based on bad behaviour alone, I don't see why they'd start now.
I don't think it makes sense to vote for something you don't believe in just because others you disagree with will make the same vote.
Conversation about hot topics is going to happen no matter what. As long as it stays respectful I think it's ok.
Anyone have trouble getting into Oathbringer?
The WoK was a 5 star read for me, WoR a 3 star and now I'm struggling to get properly into Oathbringer. I think I'm on chapter 10. Anyone else have this problem? Does it get more interesting or am I just not a Sanderson person?
To be fair he's probably not lying. The likelihood they were just sitting there and were going to be found in time to somehow pull them up was pretty low. I don't think his take was necessarily or helpful though (not that mine is either lol.)
Asking non-Americans to pay in USD
Currently in Egypt and they just asked us to pay in USD cash for an added activity but, not being American, we don't have USD. We have the local currency and the ability to get that out at ATMs, but no way to access foreign currency. So annoying but they accepted local in the end.
I'd love to sue the Australian federal and state governments for the same reason.
I personally would like to see posts in 4 languages and as far as I can tell it won't let me specify more than one in my profile so I just leave it on undefined. I'm having I guess the opposite issue to you in that I'm only seeing English content when I would like to see some in my other (non-native) languages for better immersion.
Beehaw defederation means this is now the largest book sublemmy accessible
Beehaw has decided to defederate from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. I believe it was already separated from lemmygrad. I think this makes this community the largest one accessible to the most instances whereas before [email protected] was. I guess we'll have to make the most of it!
NTA she's probably just insecure about having eaten the chocolate faster than she thought.
Welcome to Calibre!
This community is meant for discussion about the open source ebook management software Calibre. Technical questions and feature discussions about calibre are welcome.
Classic useless answer but nothing ATM 🙃. I've been travelling for a few months and won't be able to host anything til I get home mid July. However, I do have plans to host a website or two, maybe even a Bookwyrm, Lemmy or Mastodon instance.
Let's aggregate the book sublemmys!
I'm thinking we should have a central post for all the book sublemmys so we can easily find them. The ones I'm aware of are:

What do you think of r/books silence on the API changes?
Unlike many other large subreddits r/books has not made any statements about the API changes. I did try and post something about it but it ended up getting deleted. At 22.1 million users this would be a pretty significant addition to the protest.
Does anyone know why there hasn't been anything official?
How many of you are using Bookwyrm (federated alternative to Goodreads)?
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/42666
I recently discovered Bookwyrm and am really liking it. It's not quite as full-featured as The Storygraph or Goodreads but it covers all of the most important functionalities and it's federated which I appreciate. Something that it is missing Vs either The Storygraph or Goodreads at the moment is volume of reviews (ie. Volume of users.) However, your review won't get lost in the sea so much and I've found that it's been quite easy to find readers with similar interests.
Anyway, who here is using Bookwyrm? What's your account so we can all follow each other? (Mine is [email protected])

What's everyone been reading recently?
For me in SciFi I've been trying to hit some classics so I've read 'The Iron Dream' by Norman Spinrad, 'A Time of Changes' by Robert Silverberg and also the (recent release) 'Out of the Ruins' anthology.
Of those three I enjoyed 'The Iron Dream' the most since I didn't enjoy Silverberg's potraryal of women (and it doesn't seem to have literary intent like in 'The Iron Dream'.) 'Out of the Ruins had some bangers but it was a fairly inconsistent collection for me that mostly hasn't been memorable.
So, what are you currently reading or have recently read?
