Community blog - have you had your nice day today?

I went to a bunch of used bookstores today.I like to do this every summer, because college students always their sell off their used textbooks there when the uni one won't buy them, so I can buy them for cheap. Found a few interesting ones, one on topology, one on analysis, even one on stochastic statistical processes and finite element simulation. Paid about $50 in all.

I also saw the physics book I used in college. I paid $350 for the two volumes, but the version in the store had all the volumes and was selling for $20, all because it is, like, two editions old. Fucking Jews, man.

When comparing with having physical books, that are heavy, moldy, and reflect white light into your eyes, a digital version which you can manipulate and truly utilize (quoting, referencing, grep, re-organize, filter, etc.) is far more efficient.

Digital means a lack of quality not more,

Under what bloody metric? How are shitty printed books of higher quality than the actual source, which is digital to begin with? I was talking about the benefits that digital copies of a medium provide than physical books, which you cannot use to proof its work, if not digitally. Unless you are willing to pay for shipping to use the books for citations on your works. But physicals books have a higher chance of being destroyed and obsolete than a digital rendition.

it doesn't save time

Well, if you want Jews to keep raping students and probable readers of their wealth, and waste time driving, purchasing, carrying, and flipping pages, then suit yourself. But a digital e-book, I can mass email or post in the school website, and actually have the required books for their courses they need than having to purchase. Plus, I can hit a <Page_Down> in 20ms, than waste 2 seconds flipping a page. In a 300 page book, that's a 594 p/s savings.

IoW: saves everyone's time by makes it affordable for everyone.

reading an actual book to be a real pleasure as it is no where near as uncomfortable as reading a pdf on a fucking screen

Do you enjoy wasting both time and calories, even when you can filter and polarize the light of a screen, like all TFT monitors are being shipped with? Why do you think I read my books on black to green? Because I enjoy reading for just pleasure?

Digital won't last forever.

Neither does physical moldy books. A Solid State or Crystal Quartz drive will surely outlast paper which is highly vulnerable. I didn't say you had to store your digital content on volatile RAM or Optical Disks.

already see this with the rise of vinyl and quantum computing

What does that even have to do with proper storage practices, digitizing your library, and distributing online on the off case your library gets broken or stolen?

Having upload the file on the internet, people will make copies and backups, ensuring a higher chance of tolerance than a shitty book that cannot be copied and distributed for others to reuse.

And to talk about your issues:
You keep calling me an idiot when you have yet to provide enough of an argument to proof that any of my statement are idiotic and unfounded with out reasoning. If you cannot hold a debate without resulting to insults, you, personally have a lot to learn as a person, and what it is to discuss.

If you want to further debate this topic, research on the matter before you talk:
