With removable batteries is that there is actually a legitimate reason for getting rid of them, in that it’s much harder to waterproof a device with a removable battery.

I’d still like to see the option available, but I can at least understand why it’s not from a practical standpoint. The only reason carrier locks exist is to increase the cost of change for the end user, making them less likely to switch providers.

To be fair, from about 12-16 is a pretty rough group of years.

The Bucees logo tells me this is probably going to affect Texas more than other regions.

These are good rays.

The Case of the Golden Idol. It’s a great little detective game with an interesting premise.

I wonder if that would sometimes be a desirable trait in farmed bees in areas with a lot of predators or competitors.

Like, the human knows that protection will be required and will suit up accordingly, but the ants, wasps or bears that try to rob the hive will be much less successful.

It depends on the plastic and the acid involved.

Most plastics are unreactive with most acids. Sometimes, like with Hydrofluoric acid, it must be stored in plastic, because it can dissolve glass.

You dont need to remind us to sympathize with the people you laid off, Phil. Thats the whole reason why your PR is bad right now.

Its the best when you buy an LP and get a download code for the album as well.

I listen to LPs mostly when I want music to be the primary thing im doing. There is a whole ritual involved with putting a record on. Whereas, sometimes I just want to listen to something while I’m doing dishes or driving, and then playing an MP3 over a Bluetooth speaker from my phone is just infinitely more convenient.

Man, that fucking sucks.

I lost my sense of smell for about a month when I got Covid for the first time and it was torture.

Im almost positive that Andrew Wakefield has caused more harm to modern medicine than any other person in the last 200 years.

Maddy Thorson is one of the creators of the game Celeste. She is here confirming that the main character’s name is Madeline McButt.

Man, I love that Celeste’s success gave Maddy a huge platform for shitposting.

Should the machine’s operating system be calculated in the storage too?

I’m positive that David Cronenberg had no idea what a video game was when he made that movie

No, you dont understand. All the historical records of that period I’ve seen dont have black people doing things.

What do you mean fantasy movies from the 80s aren’t historical records?

Have you tried waking up earlier, so that you have time to relax before jumping up to do shit?

My understanding is that juries in America dont really deliberate on a verdict or a sentence. Thats up to the judge.

Instead, I believe they’re presented with all the facts and arguments, then determine based on that information whether or not the the prosecution’s claims hold up.

So its more of a “based on the facts you have been presented with, do you think the defendant did X”, rather than “should the defendant be punished for this crime?”

Most Trump supporters understand that he’s a criminal, but believe that his actions are in service of the greater good. So in a situation like this the distinction between “do the facts line up” and “should he be punished” is an important one.
