Yep, when you want your Orange Julius to cost $22

I’m pretty happy that the 4th amendment is still somewhat working in protecting us from unreasonable search.

Now if the feds have reasonable suspicion and can get a judge to sign off on a warrant, go nuts!

Etsy is now dead to me. Any site that bans writings or nipples is not a place that deserves my money.

Oh wow 3-4 is great. My current android phone is using 9Gb out of 12. It’s insane. I have no idea what’s using it all.

I hope that since this phone isn’t running android, 6gb will be enough.

Welcome to the Abandoned By Microsoft club. For me it was Windows Phone 7.

My first two smartphones were keyboard phones that I had a love-hate relationship with. The rest were all a hate-hate relationship, except my current phone which is back to love-hate. How many smartphones has the average person owned now? I am up to 12…oh god.

I do the same, including plugging the usb-c port. I specifically got a 5-watt qi charger over the 10 or 15 watt ones so that my phone would slow charge overnight. The phone doesn’t get warm when charging that way, unlike when I use the usb-c port.

I don’t think Microsoft (or Apple) want people to have personal computers anymore in the way that PCs have historically existed. That is to say, they don’t want your computer capable of running arbitrary code of your choosing. They don’t want your computer to have the potential to do everything, to run everything, to make anything.

They want to control and lock down all aspects of your machine and what it can do, retain ownership of hardware via software licenses, and monetize every click and keystroke.

Microsoft doesn’t want you to have a functional computer anymore, they want you to have a dummy terminal that runs Office 365 and Copilot.

I’m so sorry you have to deal with that.

There’s no way I could continue having a relationship with anyone who is a trump supporter.

As someone who cycles as my primary mode of transport for 8 months out of the year, I absolutely empathize with you about bad bicycle riders that endanger others.

Where I live in the US, it’s legal to take as much of the lane as is needed to be safe. Often in the city that means riding in the middle of the lane so that I don’t get doored by parked cars, and sometimes it’s so cars have to completely move into the opposite lane to pass me – usually near intersections – because it’s the safest way for me to avoid getting physically pushed out of my lane. Many drivers don’t give a damn if they push a cyclist off the road or into a curb.

Where I live It seems like most riders don’t alert when passing and it drive me nuts. They should know better.

And finally, in the spirit of fairness, every bad habit you mentioned about cyclists can also be applied to cars, even driving on the damn sidewalk.

For a second I thought we were in the fuckcars community and I couldn’t believe you said fuck bicycles.

I hope you don’t really hate bicycles though. Wonderful mode of transit overall.

I really want phones like this to actually work and to succeed, but there are so many things these companies have to get just right – it’s a huge undertaking.

Releasing a phone that’s admittedly unfinished seems really risky. People are getting sick of unfinished products being tossed at them for full price, with the empty promises from the company that those missing features will be added in later.

I thought $500 for only 6GB of ram is really disappointing.

I’m sure someone is willing to show you their bottom!

You also completely ignored the point I was making so that you could tell a stranger to eat less.

Overeating when overweight is abuse, full stop.

Cool, now I’m a self abuser. Good to know.

Your comment is abhorrent and misses the point completely.

But I never brought up the idea that people are being forced to eat more calories; you did.

I explained how medical conditions, health, and mobility are intertwined with calorie intake and expenditure and that it’s a common problem.

There are rare circumstances when weight is influenced by a medical condition, but generally it’s people eating too much and not moving enough.

Do you have any idea how many medical conditions keep people from not moving enough (thereby causing people to eat more calories than they need)? It’s NOT rare. Hell, lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people go to the doctor, and guess what’s a lot harder to do when your back is screwed up? Exercise.

I am a bicyclist. I love riding. I ride any chance I get. I also currently have chronic problems in my upper, middle and lower back, including a herniated disc in my low back, and it’s aggravated by bicycling more than anything else. I’ve been seeing doctors for 20 years for my back problems, since I was a teenager. I had back problems when I was a size 2, and I have back problems as a size 12.

People will probably want to respond to my comment by saying that diet is a bigger factor in losing weight than exercise, or that people should adapt and find other ways to be active if they can. What I am saying is that weight, medical conditions, and eating more calories than a person can burn – they’re all connected and it’s a very common problem.

If OP only turns it on when there is a drone above their house, how would it be easy to get caught?

If you are advocating for people to uproot their lives from their communities, friends, family, and every other connection they have to where they live – for political reasons – I would argue that’s a very bad idea. I think it would ruin society.
