I like foldables, but I won’t be getting another one until Samsung and other OEMs dramatically overhaul their design and durability. When a ribbon connector went bad, they required repair companies to replace the two screens and hinge, a $600 repair on a phone worth $400. The ribbon connector is a 20¢ component, if that. I ended up getting a Motorola on sale for $250 that can do most of what high end flagships can do.

I always recommend this site: https://theteahouseltd.com/

We’ve visited them in person and their tea was so fantastic that even non-tea people loved it. They ship worldwide. I tend to order in bulk these years.

Only one tea has ever come close, and it was a small Asian restaurant out of Vancouver, BC. This store has dozens of amazing varieties.

We just have an instant hot water tap. Can’t live without it, haha.

One lady saw me locking my bike up with 12mm thick chain and expressed sadness that we have to go to such lengths as a society just to keep others from touching things that aren’t theirs. I sometimes think of her now when I’m locking up my bike.

Doubly sad too, since some people don’t have cars, and bikes are their primary means of transit.

Also, the triangle part is just really cool as well. I love both, but the progress pride one feels much more officially flaggy to me :)

I lived too close to a hospital. Apparently, the road I lived next to was the road that all fire, EMS, and police used. Tons of sirens at all hours of the night and day. I toured the place on a quiet day, so it never occurred to me about the noise. That was a bit of a suffer fest.

One funny thing about that place, someone always swore consistently on the street between 17:00-20:00 each evening. It was always someone new, but it was like clockwork. Guests wouldn’t believe it at first, but it became a thing, lol. Sometimes it was someone on a skateboard eating shit in the protected bike lane, other times it was a pissed off pedestrian, someone having an argument, someone having fun, or someone clearly off their medication. No apartment has had that before or since.

Sweater weather. I already didn’t like the downtempo vibe, but it got painfully overplayed back in the day. Unfortunately, I still hear it occasionally. Anything but that, please.

I met some nice people, but had better luck just meeting people naturally in my 20s. I think the reason why dating apps didn’t work is that it’s kinda like job apps online, where there’s just waves of people, and everyone is just kinda putting their resume on their profile. Hard to stand out and meet “real” people among bots/hidden likes/ app design/bad matches.

Usually these companies make money by having users churn through loads of bad matches and then continually pay for premium.

I’d recommend joining a club IRL or volunteering, it might be a more organic fit. Friends -> dating can come naturally out of that.

Probably about 1-2 weeks, unless jumping in a lake during that time counts. We were in the back country deep in Canada :)

Frutiger Aero was heavily used in Elite Dangerous for a faction’s ships. I love that look! Didn’t realize it had a name.

Go see a doctor as soon as you can. Also, drink plenty of water.

Battlefield 1, I liked its slower-paced combat and need for teamwork for things like ships and the heavy bomber (original, not the super heavy).

It was different than almost all contemporary shooters, and I really found that refreshing. It also had a strong art design and really looked the part for WW1, even if some of the weapons were prototypes or team weapons (which should have been cut, imo) or vehicles were tweaked for gameplay (understandable, the German tanks were extremely tippy, and the French tanks were slower IRL)

Turkmenistan has some amazing propaganda and surprisingly, interesting music on the propaganda channels. Never would want to go there, though.

The fuzzy hat horse sing-along segment goes surprisingly hard? 16:31, pre-stamped:

Are there better alternatives? I was planning on using tailscale until now. :P

Climate change will defeat everyone soon if we don’t stop blowing through all of our deadlines.

What the fuck? People kill their adult child for having sex?

My alarm is just the default android one, but my text tone is the windows XP fatal error sound.

I guess you could, but the EDI units to clean water aren’t cheap, sheesh.

I can’t remember if I even bothered setting one. My app doesn’t use them. I don’t find them particularly useful on forums anyways. I only like them on real time chat apps where I know I’ll be interacting with the same folks over and over again.

Edit: I did set one up!
