And then the popes edited it further.

Life’s too short to avoid something you actually enjoy just because other people told you it’s not good enough.

A person with a clock knows the time. A person with two does not.

I totally agree with Samsung being bullshit. As for how people can accept that, well, it’s probably the only ecosystem they know. My experience is anecdotal, but I’ve been to parts of the world where it’s iPhone vs Samsung. Like, USB-c is a Samsung plug. So, just as people get attached to the iPhone UI, regardless of model, people do the same with Samsung.

Speaking of bullshit, has anyone elseatched Pixel’s deletion of the back button? While I’ve been conditioned on how it works, there’s still a number of app swipes that turn into “back” commands instead.

I miss the Nexus lineup.

I know that house. It’s from What We Boo in the Shadows

The first year I saw the 12ft Home Depot skeleton, it was awesome, but I couldn’t find any/didnt want to pay that price. The second year, the boxes all said “#12ftskeleton” and I was instantly over it. Similarly, I was into the 5ft poseable skeletons as soon as they came out. I built my collection 1-3/year with late Oct sales but now, with so many people competing to build the best skeleton activity diorama in the town, I’m not motivated to put mine out as much. Call me a hipster, but I was always out to pose them like they died in various ways.

But maybe that’s just my rebellious punk phase simmering up, making me goofy displays. “stop having fun”. Make it creepy.

Whatever. This year, I built a 7ft tall wendigo/leshy/reaper and found I could have spent less money on a home depot “scarecrow” and swapped the head. Such is life. Not like I’m going to stop building my own props.

Anyway, get a fog machine. It blurs out all the details. I put two out, on opposite sides, so the wind doesn’t totally rob me

Conservatism believes the minorities (of any demographic) want to take revenge on them and punish them. It’s so fucking telling that they KNOW they are intentionally hurting minority groups for the own [perceived] benefit. They believe minority groups want to enact their own anti-majority laws because… The majority wants to enact their anti-minority laws on minorities. Let me be clear, the majority is the largest demographic, not a 2/3 majority, not even a 51% majority. Just the largest group. 33% wants to hurt 6 other 17% groups. That’s any demographic you want to measure. “Christians” vs ag/aeth/mus/jew/hindu/bud. White euro vs african/latin/asian/indian/mid east/slavic.

None of these groups want revenge. They want equality.

Every fear of minorities is a projection of their own tactics, a justification for their own acts. The party of “tough guys” lives in fear. Fear of cities, fear of skin color, fear of immigrants, fear of not having an emotional support gun, fear of other religions, fear of measured facts hurting their feelings, fear of poverty, fear of invasion, fear of other languages. So they enstill that fear into every other group they can. We have insane abilities to communicate globally, insane amounts of corporate wealth hoarding, insane greed over resources, and yet they’re still playing the dark forest trope, telling you every noise in the night is out to kill you. .

Son of a bitch (unmarried woman) / bastard (born outside of wedlock). Both are pretty casual at this point in my American region. My grandmother meant it if she said it, though. But this all turned around, possibly nationally, in 2015 with the release Nathaniel Rateliffe’s hit single, SOB.

At least it’s short term. “Have a good rest of your day. I don’t give a shit about your tomorrow though”

Downvoting your comment because it’s hard to see my screen outside in the sun

That’s 3 reasons, none of which are any more concrete than the other.

1. Public speakers that talk too much
2. Politicians that exaggerate/lie
3. Wind

To back up your claim about EV non-viability, I would point to the ~2000 Ford Ranger. While the GM EV-1 gets the spotlight, it was a weird car with a specific purpose. The Ranger, on the other hand, was a very normal vehicle with an EV powertrain shoved in where the gasoline wasn’t. A few hundred were made. It used lead acid batteries, the only viable option at the time. NiMH and NiCd weren’t good for the amperage needed and were expensive by comparison. The Ranger had about a 60 mile range at best and I think 60mph top speed. Great for parks and municipal trucky things, not great for the gen pop. That’s just 25 years ago. Sure, one could argue that the main manufacturers could have done better with actual dedication and less comfort with cheap gasoline, but it doesn’t change that lithium wasn’t commercially viable yet. No other magical source could have appeared either, as even with the current EV push, Li-ion is still the top choice.

As with all lemmy, the volume is low, but we do have c/artshare here with some frequent callers. Here on World, I think

Image searching brought me to this xaoyunyn. I don’t expect that to be any kind of real brand. It probably gets many different labels over time.

Gonna take a guess it’s LOST or whatever the name of the comic is

If that was the reason smartphones place periods, they’d leave double spaces and throw a period before them. They don’t, they replace a space with the period. It’s just a shortcut with a large target button.

Good for you, I’m glad you know so many things. Your knowledge is above average.

Cloud service purchaser doesn’t realize the system is ONLY a cloud service. Much like the commenters here, these bed owners are asking the same thing" why the fuck does a bed NEED to be connected to the internet?

I would have assumed it allows a direct connection between the controller and your phone. While I fucking hate the need for a wireless device to control my sleep Number (paid for a Bluetooth remote though), none of us can ignore the fact the gen pop loves having apps for the most basic of functions.

No, but “bricked up” is slightly more accurate for beds that got stuck fully erect and got bed-privism when they overheated
