Oh, god. I remember how it ran on a stripped down gingerbread ROM lol.

I gave up and bought a new phone after that.

“I don’t really get why people get so up in arms about discussing it, but Sex is fun. Be careful though, those swimmers are persistent little fuckers.”

“Drugs feel good and you think everything is fine until one day you look up and realize it all went wrong years ago. I can’t stop you, but I really hope you’ll choose not to try them.”

I think both worked out well. I’m sex positive and I generally avoid drugs because it just isn’t worth the risk of finding that one substance that totally ruins my life.

Many of them, yes. They’re among the most radical of the leftist instances, which means that they attract a lot of propagandists and tankies. They have some perfectly reasonable people too, but you know, vocal minority. Its the main thing most people notice about those instances.

Many people block hexbear, Lemmy.ml, and lemmygrad for these reasons.

Prions are misfolded proteins that misfold other proteins they contact. They’re much harder to kill with heat or sanitizer and pretty much always fatal.

What is your budget and needs? Used thinkpads from a certain time period are very hardy, but they’re getting old enough now for performance to be an issue for anything beyond basic web browsing and word processing.

Framework also makes laptops with the explicit goal of being more repairable. Even if you decide not to work on it yourself, it would be trivial for a repair shop to fix most things that could go wrong.

Yeah, SI wages in Europe are way lower than north america. I wanted to move when I was bartending, and then I figured out I’d be lucky to make a third of what I was here.

I did almost 3x that as a bartender two years ago in Dallas.

Tbh the idea of a server working for less than $20/hr is insane to me.

I wouldn’t say “excited”, as I don’t know of it having any specific advantages over what’s already on the market.

I’m quite fond of my 7 and 8 though. Battery life and cell reception could be better, but I’ve never found either to be less than satisfactory.

Yes. Original hardware is a pain in the ass.

I want to play on my nice PC or steam deck, with save states, whatever gamepad I prefer, and an unlimited library.

I’d say stock pixel Roms are a better experience than most custom Roms. That being said, if you have privacy concerns, grapheneOS is right there.

Personal choice, IMO. I don’t miss any of the features I gave up except for AI call screening.

Sort of. EVs are very fast off the line, but generally very heavy. It might be good for handing out speeding tickets on a freeway, but a pursuit on surface streets would probably not go as well.

It’s also a fairly tall EV. I bet if you slid into a curb or something, it’ll roll like Peppy Hare.

Assuming the thing worked as advertised and they get a VERY steep discount, it might be a good idea?

I’m not commenting on whether that’s true or not, but it isn’t how it works in the south. If you want to play high school soccer or whatever, you have to quality by doing well in middle school. Some places, middle school is competitive enough to warrant tryouts.

Extracurriculars are also rapidly getting more expensive. Too many parents want to pretend their kids are in the NFL or NBA or whatever.

Most of us do. A few people do sign up for variable rate plans, and they did get astronomical bills during the snowpocalypse. IIRC they didn’t get any aid or anything, it was a small enough number of people that they just got hung out to dry.

I generally look at what the market is doing. I care a lot more about software availability and battery than performance these days, most manufacturers have little to offer me.

Generally, the only things of interest to me are the pixels (shootout Graphene), the fairphone, and projects like the Librem 5. IMO if you want an android and care about privacy or security, the choice is kind of obvious these days.

It’s also extremely common in the white community. They’re saying that his real name isn’t one that would cause someone to assume you are nonwhite, like Will Dewitt, Ashley Jones, or Casey Smith.

I’d say closer to 400. Quarter pounders have only ever been common as smashburgers or at shitty burger restaurants.

Nice bar: whatever menu cocktail or specialty product looks good.

Okay bar: Amaro/mezcal if they have it, gin/rum if they don’t.

Not very good bar: beer or cider

Bad bar: bottle beer. No cans, mixers, or taps, and well pours only if truly desperate.

I agree, but a significant portion (maybe even most) of our country’s population do live in very high cost of living areas such as the west cost, DC, Boston, and Miami.

The situation is vastly different in most of the country’s less remarkable cities, like San Antonio, Minneapolis, Oklahoma City, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, or Nashville, and I think articles like this only ever account for one side of the equation or the other.

To someone living in DFW (my home), “needing” almost $200k is insane. Honestly I doubt I’d know what to do with that money unless I just bought a bunch if shit I don’t want.

Kind of. “Gratuities” are legal, bribery is not, and presidents are immune for prosecution for acts undertaken as part of their duties.

A “gratuitity” must be made after the fact, which is still totally a type of bribery, but it isn’t the same as making all bribery legal as a blanket rule.

Presidents are now immune to prosecution, but only regarding official acts. The court refused to rule on what an official vs unofficial act is, basically meaning that they’ll decide whether something is legal or not when they feel like it. The obvious problem here is how heavily stacked the supreme court is, but they also didn’t just come out and say “fuck it, presidents have absolute power.”

Edit: To be clear, both of these rulings are absolutely fucking terrible. If our courts had any appropriate amount of oversight, the blatant corruption on display would be enough to see the court disbarred and indicted. They’re just not quite as bad as people describe on Lemmy.

As a service person, this sounds great. You actually tip your barber more than I do.

The only thing I think you didn’t account for is fancier bars with elaborate cocktails, which tbf most people do not frequent. I’d do 15-20% for those, simply because it’s more involved service and more involved drinks.
