Well that’s just about the cutest darn ring I’ve ever seen.

Wait until you take your first road trip through Ameristan.

Just so I’m the first one to utter the phrase:

"We have credible reports from Windows Intelligence that a crime has been committed, your computer is going to restart. "

It sounds invasive. Like it’s a private intelligence agency and not a chat bot.

Cow town has no chill. I’m tempted to take on another job, but right now I only have one day completely off and it’s just. Not. Enough. Time.

Like, I have to decide each week how much cleaning gets done or if I’m making food that week. There isn’t enough time to do cleaning and shopping, and I’m busy most days 10am-1am between work and school, assuming I sleep 7 hours a night.

I work 35 hours a week, and I go to university for around 25. Last year I had 7 day weeks all year and it was very much not fun.

I could do it if I had to for a bit, but the whole ‘being too exhausted to exist’ thing gets old fast.

I picked up a flip4 just before the 5 was announced. They had a same whew you could trade in an older phone. I think I paid $500CAD + iPhone 12 mini for mine.

I’m 100% a flip convert. My only real complaint is the height, I would love a slightly smaller phone. The fact that it fits in all my pockets, I can put it anywhere without worrying about the screen, I can do things like small payments/ camera/ flashlight without opening it up. I love this thing and I can’t imagine doing back.

I had to replace the screen protector last winter, turns out -40C causes it to lift up from the crease, but$20 later this protector held up all year.

I think about 10 minutes in Canada. Maybe 15 when I was in Vancouver.

It’s well documented that Tucker doesn’t believe the things he says. He’s just saying things for money.

A couple years ago they introduced Buddy Christ to try and drum up some interest but it didn’t go anywhere.

Also, why would a religious institution with a modern problem with child abuse is a child as an icon, seems pretty unaware.

Fill some plastic bones from Walmart with some shot pellets.

Yes, if the issue was a moral one. This issue, however, is a legal one.

It sucks if well meaning people are caught up in this, but it also sucks if you’re living in the aggressor state of an ongoing war.

My younger friend asked why some old cars had a piece of plexiglass on the front of the hood.

I had to explain that thirty years ago, in this area, you would drive through enough bugs in a day to cover your windscreen. The bug shield would help deflect them. It was a pretty grim lunch after that.

I left windows years ago. I only need it for a couple really restrictive apps, so I dual boot, but I only boot in every few months.

I stopped playing games that use aggressive anticheat as well. 99% of the games I was playing work great, all I lost really was Fortnite and destiny 2, which is worth my sanity dealing with Windows nonsense.

I e been telling people who switch to; think of it like moving house. When you move to a new house, the bathroom isn’t in the same place and the kitchen is different, it’s up to you whether the new location is better or not. If you expect your new house to have all the same rooms in all the same places as your old house you’ll always be disappointed the whole time. Linux is a different house, pick a house that suits your needs and you’ll be happy.

That’s actually a pretty good use. In my local market they send the person to a separate counter.

I haven’t seen one in years, but the fact that they’re all used is awesome.

I’m not crazy old, but I’m old enough that the supermarket I went to as a kid had these at all the checkout aisles and the cashiers would use them to send cheques/reciepts/ whatever.

It was awesome to see.

This reminds me when my mom told my dad Netflix didn’t serve their area because she didn’t want another bill.

He told me that and I was like “Well…” and my mom just yelled from the other room “I JUST CALLED THEY’RE TRYING FOR NEXT YEAR.” so I shut up.

I haven’t seen any studies, I seem to remember there was some news reports many years ago.

I do know that I’ve stood in my living room, on the same wifi, and looked art the same item from Amazon on my phone and my brother in laws phone and seen different prices. But that’s just another anecdote.
