I usually read at home, on my way somewhere, or at a park, and I'm looking to buy an e-reader. I currently have my eye on the Pocketbook Era Lite, which is 7 inches big – I probably won't be using it to read on public transport. Besides that, do people actually use e-readers outside their homes? Like at a park as I said before, at the library, or just anywhere you can sit and chill?

> A man has filmed himself stuck between KDP and PUK checkpoints with 20 Wi-Fi routers, as neither side will let him through with the goods.
> He apparently passed through the KDP checkpoint coming from Erbil, but when he tried to cross the PUK checkpoint in the Smaquli area, east of Erbil but still we’ll within Erbil province, at the line separating the section of Erbil under PUK control, they prevented him from continuing. When he tried to go back through the KDP checkpoint, they blocked him too.
> He says in the video he is now stranded in the no-man’s land between the two. Neither side will let him through, because there is now a hard border between KDP and PUK zones.
> For anything of commercial value, you have to pay a customs-like fee, but the fee goes to a private company owned by whichever party controls that checkpoint.
> There is physically not one unified KRG as one region. And if movement is physically constrained in this way, that is stronger evidence than any nominal institutional name. This has been happening for months now, with many people documenting that there is effectively no free movement between the two zones.

Especially the "In Relation with Others" section. It's full of little pieces of advice, most of which are pretty obvious and well-known (at least, in today's age) but still. Much of it is good advice to follow.
> In what is becoming a stressful annual routine, Microsoft has decided to lay off thousands, including MANY of us at Bethesda Games Studios.
> With over 10k developers already cut from previous rounds, those at the top have deemed that insufficient in fixing their mistakes.
> Today we say goodbye to many of our friends and colleagues and to hundreds more across Xbox, including folks that have worked at Bethesda Games Studios for decades.
> When will this cycle of cuts in pursuit of ever-greater profits end?
> Because of our One BGS union, we have the right to negotiate over the impacts of these layoffs, helping secure stronger severance packages and better support for those leaving the company.
> We will do everything we can to make sure our friends are properly taken care of.

Brothers and sisters,
I come not to spread rumours or leaks, nor to cope. I come to bring truth.
Many months ago, in a land called Hammerfell, we too suffered. Every showcase was the showcase. Every insider knew something. Every disappointment cut a little deeper. And then a revelation came to us:
Tomorrow.
Not next year. Neither "soon", nor your "Valve Time".
Tomorrow.
It's a perfect prophecy. It demands faith. It cannot be disproven because when tomorrow arrives, the prophecy simply carries on, until The Fateful Tomorrow has finally come. Some will mock you. Some will say that there is no Half Life 3. Some will tell you to "manage your expectations", to "be patient", or even that there is no such thing as Half Life 3. Pay them no mind. Instead, answer only:
Tomorrow.
Go forth and await with certainty what has always been certain:
Half Life 3 is releasing tomorrow.
So, as another user predicted yesterday, there hasn't been an announcement today. That's OK! There are still 999 other days on which we can expect an announcement. The chances of TESVI being announced tomorrow are still 1 in 1000. That's not so bad! If we had been counting from the release of Skyrim, our odds would be 1 in 6352!
See you all Tomorrow.
Yesterday morning, July 1, six young men from the Sheladiz sub-district of the Amedi district headed toward the villages of Bisape and Kukere, near the Kurejaro Mountain behind Sheladiz, to gather wild herbs. While on their way to these villages, they fell into an ambush by Turkish soldiers and were detained.
The Turkish soldiers beat the young men with rifle butts, kicked, and slapped them. After severe torture, they allowed them to return home today, telling them, "If you ever return to this area again, you will not see life with your own eyes; we will kill you."
During the same incident, Turkish soldiers also abused the mule that the young men had brought along to help carry loads. They attacked it with rifle butts and stones, leaving the animal's entire body covered in blood.
The Sheladiz sub-district is one of the areas most heavily affected by the Turkish military's operations in the Kurdistan Region. The livelihood of the majority of its residents depends on farming and gathering wild herbs. To date, 92 villages from this sub-district have been invaded by the Turkish army, preventing residents from returning to their villages.
