Are there any good books which are both accurate and engaging which talk about human world history? (lemmy.ml)
 

publication croisée depuis : https://lemmy.ml/post/26991234

Any era is welcome but I'm especially interested in modern history.

I know that having just one book which talks about the history of the whole world would be difficult but let's see if you guys know something (series are welcomed suggestions too).

You're right! Do you know how can I cross post this there?

Hahaha I was undecided whether to add "human" but I wanted to exclude natural world history, I mean I wanted to learn about human events

What's your Album of the Year? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Agree with the whole comment but yeah I love every song of The New Sound, especially The Magician. Also I "discovered" black midi at the beginning of the year and was sad to learn they splitted, thankfully Greep released this masterpiece.

Is there an historical reason why female formal dresses have a huge variety of styles compared to male ones where the only acceptable style is jacket with pants? in c/[email protected]

Sorry man, english is not my first language so sometimes I make mistakes.

But I searched online and it seems that it's not totally wrong to use "an" in front of historical, especially in informal writing.

Best RSS Reader for Linux? Bonus if it has PDF/epub export (lemmy.ml)
 

Right now I use Read You on my phone to get RSS feeds and I read articles on my browser but I want to cut the time I stare at my phone throughout the day so I came up with this system:

Once a week I will look at all the feeds I follow on my PC RSS reader, select the ones I want to read during the next week and save them / export them (possibly in PDF or ePUB?) so that I can put them on my old Kindle (that has no internet access) and read them only using the kindle during the week.

This will drastically reduce the time I use my phone to first scroll and select articles and then to actually read them. Looking at a screen all day for work and also looking at a screen (phone) in my free time is not good for me and I want to change that.

If no RSS reader has that option, does anyone know of another program or firefox extension that would let me "export" web pages as pdfs or epubs?

Most people want to be special or unique but what are things in which no one wants to be special or unique? (lemmy.ml)
 

I'll start with: medical conditions, everyone would prefer to have an average well known and curable disease than a special case or a unique one

Kindle's screen is partially frozen with the screensaver, the rest of the screen works normally. Already reset it and factory reset it, does anyone know if I can save it somehow? (lemmy.ml)
 

First of all, I know this is not the kind of questions that usually are done in asklemmy but I don't know where to ask, sorry folks.

It's a 5th generation kindle and I really loved reading on it. :(

Bonus question if the kindle is doomed: best e-ink reader on the cheaper side? I don't want anything super powerful or fancy, I just want to load my collection with calibre and read on it. - bonus points if it's a libre and or open source friendly.

But that makes the body not accumulate any more, but what about burning the already present excessive one?

I get that diet is the most important thing for abs but, are there excercises to burn fat specifically in the abs area? I'm pretty fit and my weight is ok, or even a little below what I would want, but my abs are not visible

Are there other human traits like light skin which people developed to adapt to the "new" environment they settled in? (lemmy.ml)
 

I'm referring to the human race evolving in the African continent and then migrating to the rest of the world.

Evolving in Europe made people light skinned to account for the reduction in sunlight exposure, are there any other traits which other ethnicities developed to adapt to their new environment? Or are the diifferent traits in different ethnicities just stuff that developed by chance and got somehow reinforced because of the isolation between populations?

This question came to my mind first thinking about "Asian eyes", do they serve any "purpose"?
