Not a lot of walkers per square mile in the US. even if everyone was walking at once.

What about digital paywalls on research papers, I think those should be freely accessible to the general public if grant money was acquired for said research.

Yeah I pirate some books here and there, wish I could just borrow digitally from my local library, instead sometimes I use the largest library known to man.

Working on three body problem. I dont know if anyone else have a hard time with translated works, but I always feel like some part of the book is missing when translated. Like iboixk up on a few context clues that something should be known.

Anyways I’m enjoying it, just lots of extra lookin things up, makes it a bit tedious.
