We had one of these. It was terrible. Spring force was super weak and slow and there was no lever to manually lift the toast if it got stuck.

I heard that part of the motivation behind games like Pokémon Go is that they can collect data on previously unrecorded pedestrian routes between major landmarks or points of interest.
So Google’s directions may be based on crowd sourced routes that have never been vetted as safe/legal for pedestrians and cyclists.
Came here to post unnamed peanut butter bullshit.
Like, our parents were supposed to look at our candy to make sure it wasn’t tampered with (urban legend), yet everybody looked at the unlabeled wrap job on those pieces of shit and was like “yeah, this def doesn’t contain a razor blade.”
It’s possible the connector to the screen is just loose. As a last-ditch effort, you could try to repair it. See if ifixit has a guide to taking your kindle apart. It should be easier than a phone since there’s no waterproof sealing.
The connector probably looks like this:
Just reseating it could fix your screen. Just make sure to be careful with whatever little black tab locks the ribbon cable in place. Some flip up while others slide out and they are notoriously delicate if you pull them the wrong way.
If that doesn’t work, plenty of eBay sellers offer replacement screens. I know this because my job had a bunch of left over e-ink displays from a product we were developing. They happened to be the ones used in the Kindle XL and I hocked them on eBay to a repair shop.
I remember having my mind blown in college when I saw a Mac Pro tower running Ubuntu in a lab.
I believe the optimization came because the denominator was a power of two. In my memory, the function counted up all of the bytes being sent and checked to see that the sum was a multiple of 16 (I think 16 bytes made a single USB endpoint or something; I still don’t fully understand USB).
For starters, you can split up a larger modulo into smaller ones:
X = (A + B); X % n = (A % n + B % n) % n
So our 16 bit number X can be split into an upper and lower byte:
X = (X & 0xFF) + (X >> 8)
so
X % 16 = ((X & 0xFF) % 16 + (X >>8) % 16) % 16
This is probably what the compiler was doing in the background anyway, but the real magic came from this neat trick:
x % 2^n = x & (2^n - 1).
so
x % 16 = x & 15
So a 16 bit modulo just became three bitwise ANDs.
Edit: and before anybody thinks I’m good a math, I’m pretty sure I found a forum post where someone was solving exactly my problem, and I just copy/pasted it in.
Edit2: I’m pretty sure I left it here, but I think you can further optimize by just ignoring the upper byte entirely. Again, only because 16 is a power of 2 and works nicely with bitwise arithmatic.
Thank you! But this was 12 years ago lol. Think they’ve moved on.
Whoops. Formatting got lost in the transfer. Fixed now.
I was once motivated to work out by Amizon Subscribe and Save.
I had a subscription to protein shake powder, and I only let myself drink it after working out. If I skipped too many days, I’d still have some when the next shipment arrived, and I hate wasting food.
Good find! This might be a good backup plan.
Something about the phrase “living to the fullest” doesn’t allude to sensible motorcycle safety precautions.

Until, abruptly, you aren’t.
Should have said 'this."
Why is the usage of 'this" and “that” so arbitrary in English?
Back in like 2013, there was a fruit cream soda with Shaquille O’neal branding called “Shaq Soda.” I think there was strawbeery and blueberry cream flavor.
I bought one at 7-11 and brought it to the bar across the street and asked them to make me a “Shaq and Jack.”
It was not good.
Because OP didn’t want to pay for content-aware fill.
Yeah alternative was MicroUSB which is dogshit.
Not saying OP is fibbing but I used to work alumni soliciting and they’d absolutely track your call duration and success rate. If you spent that long on the phone, you’d better have something to show for it.
