Counter-question, how can I make it clear I DO NOT want to be cold-approached by ANYONE while at the beach? Headphones, sunglasses, and my face in a book has not worked.
Have you considered not being attractive? Always worked well for me.

I can’t tell you how many people have found their spouse by singing in a local chorus (including me). If you can carry a tune and have a basic level of sight reading, find a volunteer choir. They always need more dudes and are always full of brilliant, talented women, many of them single.


🤣 No such thing as lazy, that’s just a word we use to shame people into doing stuff they don’t feel like doing.


I tell people this and say, “Follow the M.”


Gotcha. I agree.


I think it was real. His level of involvement is debatable, but his writings seem to indicate he at least knew about it.


Intermittent fasting.
Like any form of weight-loss the real mechanism is a calorie deficit, but intermittent fasting makes that really easy for some people. I lost like 30lbs in six months. Takes a bit to kick in but then goes pretty quickly.
Unfortunately, losing weight is a long journey. People who are very overweight have more fat cells than others (because those cells divide when they get big enough) and those fat cells WANT to hold onto fat. And they’ll release hormones to achieve that goal. So your body will desperately be calling for you to overeat.
This is part of why weight-loss tends to be a spiky line for people. I gained back all of the IF weight I lost, and then some. Still below my highest recorded weight by a good 20lbs, but I’m just now getting back on the IF horse, hoping to make better progress this time.


I’m not sure where midband 5G falls, but it’s significantly faster than LTE with much more range than the millimeter wave 5G.


I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone call Bonhoeffer stupid before. Personally I wish more pastors got involved in plots to assassinate genocidal fascists.


Update: The psychiatrist who looked at her said she had too much weed -_- . I’m really disappointed in the doctor but she had finally slept and sounded more coherent then
There might be something to that. Psychosis enhanced by weed is not unheard of. As I’ve read, weed has been shown in studies to bring out schizophrenic symptoms in people predisposed to it. Not that it causes it, just brings it out in some people.
I say this as someone who loves weed and consumes it frequently. Just like any psychoactive chemical, it’s going to have different effects on different people. We all know alcohol causes psychosis all the fucking time but we just roll with it.


The lack of color isn’t the default, it’s an option (an evolution of one that already have). By default everything is still colorful.


That example photo is with the icons set to white (or similar). By default the icons are still colorful. They showed it off during WWDC and it looks mostly good.


Maybe. I suspect it will be much better than last time.
Processing power is much better now than in 2006. Back then it was about having some blurry transparency and lots of light beams and lens flares and shit, because it was easy to layer that over stuff. This is going to be more about refraction at the edges and clarity in the centers, with frosted looks as background when needed.
I am hopeful, it looked mostly good in the WWDC video, with only a few examples of poor legibility that hopefully will be ironed out.
I’m personally ready to move on from the flat look as long as it remains cleaner than Frutiger Aero. I miss having depth in my UI.
You linking that also-fantastic post is one of the funniest things I’ve seen all day. Well done! I laughed my ass off.


Back in 2016 I got my sister to take one of those tests where you answer a bunch of questions and it shows how well various politicians agree with you.
She matched with Hillary Clinton like, 83%. Nearest Republican was 56% or something.
She outright said, “Well, she’s pro-abortion so I can’t vote for her.”


Bear with me on this one.
I like to use the maestoso from Saint-Saëns’s Symphony No. 3 in C Minor, often called the Organ Symphony, for testing speakers. Turn it way up and blast that organ sound. Also reminds me of the movie Babe since they used the theme from this movement for that movie. 😁
(Links below are YouTube Music, but I’m confident you can find the same recordings on Spotify.)
Here’s a good recording, listen to at least the first 1:45, though the full movement isn’t very long (a bit over seven minutes). Again, volume is your friend for this movement. It’s MAJESTIC, and on a good set of speakers it’s incredible.
Another good orchestral work for this type of showing off is Holst’s Jupiter, or the fourth movement of Dvořák’s New World Symphony
(There are many more but these are some relatively well-known-without-people-knowing-they-know-them ones.)


Uh… didn’t this happen like 7 years ago when they stopped using intel chips?
I think they were still releasing updates for the non-Apple Silicon Macs, which meant Hackintosh was still possible.
Also why not just buy a pc to do this diy-adjacent bullshit? Not like you can’t get Mac equivalent (or better) hardware for literally the same price these days. It’s not 2004.
That’s what a Hackintosh is though. It’s running Mac on non-Apple hardware.


Oh yeah, I’m big on the wireless chargers. Especially with the magnetic alignment in qi2 charging.


Try cleaning out the USB-C port. Lint gets compacted in there and it can prevent the plug from seating correctly. Most charging problems I’ve had were resolved by scraping the lint out of the port, with a plastic floss pick thing or an unbent staple. Careful not to damage the contacts though.
I think you’re on the verge of understanding the problem. You’re so close. Just trust that the guy you’re replying to isn’t an idiot and you’ll finally understand.
Sure in the Netherlands you have options. But other places aren’t the Netherlands. Different countries have different options, but Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal work pretty much everywhere.
Edit: Completely unrelated, I’m munching on some licorice Mentos I found in the Dutch section of my local grocery store here in West Michigan, and I just want to thank the entire population of the Netherlands for the wonderful things y’all have done with licorice. No one likes it here, so no one bothered. But the variety your country comes up with for this stuff, it’s fantastic.
