Well, you’ll be happy to hear that starting next year, to earn a 5 star safety rating for the EU, cars will need to have less of all those things!

Edit: sorry. Not less knobs and buttons. More knobs and buttons, less touchscreen bs.

I have an alt on .ca, I find there’s a pretty good mix of beliefs there. And a fair number less tankies than where this alt I’m on is…

It’s not a bug, it’s the system working as designed

That’d be a good band name

My phone’s camera app just doesn’t scan qr codes. It’s actually really frustrating. I refuse to install a specific qr scanner, but I’d still like the ability to scan a menu code at restaurants or to get the WiFi connection at a hotel…

Hmmmm…I’d never thought of that…but goddamnit you’re right! Guess I’ll be telling the wife we need to pump a few out!

Nah, what he means by “traditional family values” is the women folk stay indoors, keep the house, pump out kids til they’re a dead shriveled husk, the men get to do whatever they want, sleep around whatever. And if they feel like the wife or kids are talking back they beat the everliving fuck out of em, and that’s fine because the wife and kids shouldn’t have been talking back to the man of the house…

He’s not a hypocrite, he just doesn’t mean the same thing you think he is with the words he’s using.

My cat has a new obsession: sticking his head out of the cat flap, seeing that it’s raining, staying still, coming back in, meowing at me like “Daaad, it’s raining” and starting the cycle again.

My cat does this, except he goes all the way out, stands under the one leaky bit of the guttering 3 stories up, comes in soaked, yells until you dry him off and repeats. It’s gotten to the point we just lock him in if it’s raining. That way he yells about being imprisoned for a few minutes then goes and has a nap until the next meal time.

Patently false! They produce money for shareholders, by providing a really shitty way to pay for food.

Could be, and that’s what I thought. But I tried that for the 2nd batch, and it still needed an extra 10 mins.

I just don’t get how it could have been so wrong. The oven instructions were 190°C for 18-25mins.

Got one that happened just now. Bought some frozen pickle chips from Costco. Cooking instructions for air fryer said 96°C for 7-10 minutes from frozen. Completely wrong. Had to do them at 195°C for 15 minutes for them to be even remotely edible.

I got an Honor magic V3 just a few months ago, looking back I wish I’d looked into honor a bit more, but I’m quite happy with it despite it skimming all my info.
I wouldn’t have upgraded but I gave my old backup phone(S9 Edge) to my best friend last year after his iPhone something or other bricked itself with an update 1 day after end of warranty.
If I hadn’t passed on my old backup I would have just kept on using the 20fe, loved it. Mine was 3.5 years old when I bought the V3, and the battery was definitely starting to go. Still good enough for an “Oh Shit I’ve Smashed My Phone” phone.
Pretty sure the 20fe is the last Samsung flagship with a microSD slot, they’ve completely done away with it except on the budget phone/tablet lines(A and J?)

Change is good, inescapable sure, but without change there would be nothing. We have a tendency to fixate on the shitty bits. A lot of my depression always circles are fixation on shitty stuff happening around me. I’m still depressed, but looking around and counting the things that are going right helps me bring into focus how minimal the shitty stuff is. At the end of the day, I have all my fingers and toes, my heart’s still ticking, and the fickle removed that is our daily circumstance can change in an instant.

What did you think of the 20FE? That was my last phone. I quite liked it in a lot of ways. My one point of major annoyance was the low volume of the ring tones. I know it can get louder because media being played on the speakers gets significantly louder, but I can’t make the ringtone be audible from my pocket on a busy street?

The true sign of a dull man is one-upmanship

At any age, with any amount of money or success, and with as many or few good people who love you in your life.

Ah, the cowboy method. Gotcha.
