Isn’t it about time to fire up your space laser?

I have an old S9 right here on my desk. I cracked the screen, and took it to one of those screen replacement places, and he asked if I had insurance. I told him I didn’t, and he said, wellllllll it’s going to be a lot more expensive than you think to replace this screen.
That wraparound screen they had was basically also the frame of the phone - you’re not so much replacing the screen as you are moving the rest of the components to a new phone body. I wasn’t sold on value of that wraparound screen in the first place; this didn’t improve my opinion of it.
We put a plastic screen protector on it and a new case, and I used it for a few months until we were ready to upgrade phones.
Some kind of miracle, I know. Actually I got more messages, but many of them were either spam or never even made it to a date.
Welcome to the Dull Side.
Back when I was in online dating (I got married in 2010, so it has been a very long time), this is how it seemed to work in the hetero arena:
So, both could be true in relation to the image.
I remember a guy once telling me that basically you have to respond to EVERY AD and hope something sticks. I never did that, and I felt bad for what the women must have had to deal with when I heard that. I had very limited success - dates with, at most, two or three women, and none of those really went anywhere. I ended up marrying someone from work instead.
Most cars I’ve used with it won’t lock until you put it in drive or start moving at a certain speed; I assume that’s because of incidents like this one.
Is there a perception that arts are more likely to have gay and lesbian people? Dumbass would do anything to hurt them.
I can’t find the exact quote right now, but I saw in another article he said something like, “If they don’t pay for advertisements, X will be gone. How sad!”
It seems Musk thinks he’s tending another Mona Lisa or some other world cultural artifact that society would hate to lose. Not some website that’s fairly easily recreated by, say, a bunch of hobbyists.
I run an internet forum for a very specific topic. I have to manually register people, because before I did that, spammers would come in and crap all over everything. (Fortunately it’s not a very popular topic, so I only have to register new accounts a few times each month.) I run the forum on my own dime, no advertising or anything, as a side hobby.
There’s also a very active Facebook group. The Facebook group is great for general conversation, but often when a technical question comes up, please just link to the forum where the info is stored. Searching in Facebook is terrible, and what happens if Facebook decides to block access to history for some reason? (Not that they necessarily would, but I’ve seen it happen many times. Remember when Photobucket blocked access to old pictures unless you had a paid account? We lost a bunch of useful pictures on the forum when that happened.)
She did a bit on Colbert that was a joint venture between her business and his spoof of her business. Either she’s extremely clueless and didn’t realize his fake store is mocking her real store, or she knows it’s snake oil and is continuing to sell it.
I’m not into Star Wars, but I had to admit that hotel experience looked pretty interesting and unique. Then I saw the price…whoa. I’ve always sort of wanted to stay in the Contemporary, but it’s so expensive…I can stay another night or three in other resorts for one night in the Contempo.
I do believe Fastpasses and Lightning Lanes have really damaged Disney. Walt’s vision was that you’d randomly walk around and have a good time. It has turned into a checklist with a schedule. And you have to plan every day months in advance if you want to eat at a restaurant in the park or hit one of the popular rides. I don’t believe this is what Walt intended.
I bought a Lenovo about 2 years ago that I’ve been really happy with. I wanted something with a metal shell because I carry my laptop around sometimes and use it balanced on one hand, and my previous Dell (plastic) started flexing and having weird issues with the TouchPad as a result. The Lenovo has been solid. I’m running Kubuntu on it, but my plan is to go Debian at some point.
Insurance money? He thinks that there’s insurance for businesses being run into the ground?
Maybe they actually hate the idea of LLMs and are trying to sour the public’s opinion on it to kill it.
Our state has speed cameras in school zones. I would like to see before-and-after statistics showing that fewer kids have been hit since the installation of the cameras.
Of course, said data doesn’t exist, because no one bothered to collect it. It “feels” safer and generates revenue, so they do it.
Yeah, we bought a new LG washer and dryer set when we moved to this house in late 2016. The washer has been trouble free. In fact, it actually saved us from washing delicate clothes in hot water (the handles on the spigots are reversed - the blue is hot; the red is cold) - it filled up, recognized there was a problem, and drained without doing anything more. I thought there was an issue with the washer at first, but then I realized how warm it was inside the washer, and I figured it out from there. I don’t think it’s technically a smart washer in the current sense (there’s no app or anything), but it’s definitely smarter than the ones I’ve had before.
The dryer’s tension pulley failed, so I had to replace that, for ~$20 from Amazon. It was making noise for a long time, but like a dolt I waited until it actually failed to replace it. The replacement has been trouble free. I found a video on Youtube from someone that showed how to disassemble it to get to the part - it’s easier than it looks.
Yeah, I think you’re right. I forgot to add that there’s no mucking about with drivers and all of that, it really just works. Older scanners usually aren’t a problem with Linux, but Vuescan almost certainly supports them as well.
I paid for Vuescan. There are a ton of Linux scanning apps, but pretty much all of them require editing all pictures to some extent after the scan. Vuescan applies a useful set of defaults that work for most pictures, speeding up the work flow. I had over 4,000 pictures to scan so anything to simplify that was worth it.
They don’t care. The only way for a Trump aide to get fired is to mock them on SNL.
I have no idea why I remember mine, 520009. Haven’t used ICQ in many years; I didn’t know it was still up.
