And yet they couldn’t extend the same courtesy for me when they raised my grandfathered family plan

I’d guess the concern was something to the tune of “if it’s only getting mb power, will it somehow dangerously undervolt or be otherwise damaged?”

That’s annoying. Part of the reason for local media is reducing the amount of monthly bills

Not to mention far more increased demand putting increased wear on both machines and humans, which only makes your first point stronger

What’s the state of apps like kodi or other methods of local streaming on Apple TV?

I miss my e280… With Rockbox, it got me through high school, getting to play Pokémon Silver on it

I got a used Fuze v1 off of eBay that works only as long as it boots rb from SD card, the internal flash now dead

You should reread the comment you replied to. They never said phone batteries completely discharge. They said users don’t see the real “percentage of charge” when a phone “dies”. They actually said that the reported 0% isn’t actually 0%.

Further, they were accurate about undervolting components. I’ll add that the damage would of course happen sooner to the battery than the components, but the point stands. No use throwing shade here.

I would personally take it as a compliment. But then, I like the guy’s rants and deep dives into tech. Your mileage (heh) may vary

I know you want a gift card from target!! I just need to know which one!

To be fair, a considerable number of cartoons actively portray exactly that.

Because radio stations’ DJs would say “and here’s artist with song name”, I firmly believed that one of two things must be true:

Radio stations had the bands always playing live for them

And/or

Radio stations would present a local DJ, but they would then tune in to the artist playing the track live for a larger station

What’s even funnier about this is that my dad has at the time taught me how to use a tape deck to record radio and CDs to tape. So I clearly understood recording mediums. Just, the idea still lingered in my mind for a while.

I agree with you fully, except the last part. Which is just a regional gripe, as to say “apartments” in the States is just as degrading/non-special. So it’s interesting that you find specialty in that term when my region is anything but.

The thing is though, I don’t see how someone like this could even work out.

Like, you hire employee 1, they get frustrated at something overnight. You fire them for being upset. Now you have to fill the seat. Employee 2 is brought on. They get told what happened to the person they replaced. They leave or are fired for having emotion and being human. This repeats ad nauseum.

@heyspencerb this one certainly looks like the better established, though posting this as a micro blog instead of a thread certainly didn’t help you in the visibility department. I only stumbled upon this as a bored kbin user

Man, that blows.

I’ve been seeing both recently. I’ve opted to err on the same side and just make it clear when I’m talking about spinning rust versus solid state.

To be fair, I did have a comma after that. The $50 included litter, which should be changed at least every 2 weeks, and is currently about $18 for the stuff that works best in my household.

So here’s my perspective: you should get a cat you’ll love, because that cat will need to depend on you for care. Not going to be a great relationship if 2-5 years down the road you find yourself sighing, reminding yourself that “it’s for the internet” and/or “I’m not a cat racist” / some other bullshit as you sign the credit card bill for $50/mo in cat food, litter, cleaning supplies, etc, or worse, $500+ in vet fees to treat an illness.

No, you need to love your cat because you love your cat. Not because a rando on the internet said you’re morally obligated to love any/all cats.

We’ve been getting more roundabouts lately. I feel like we need the opposite as I have to sit behind someone coming to a complete stop for an empty roundabout…
