They’re large flippered dog like creatures that take over docks and harbors.

You’re supposed to vaguely imply the existence of those, not just give away secrets in public bruh

It replaces paying for Spotify because its possible to download Spotify premium. Best of both worlds. Use Spotify or YouTube to find stuff, send it to a seedbox, load it later at home.

Biggest downside is most phones don’t have SD card slots anymore.

Not wanting unnecessary “features“ that are just thinly veiled spyware that overcomplicate every aspect of driving is not a boomer opinion. Wanting buttons you can feel without looking for instead of a giant screen that has automatic updates and needs to have access to your cellphone for basic functionality is not a boomer opinion.

Knowing that tacking voice activation onto every ‘smart’ device, including vehicles, is just an excuse for companies to record everything you say for their shitty marketing isn’t a boomer opinion.

In my experience doing tech work, boomers love that shit and fall for all of it, and it all fucks up in some way much more quickly than should be allowed.

Nail clippers it is.

Most of the grass i have is different from my neighbors, so I would assume it’s some kind of native saw grass. The blades are significantly wider and more coarse.

I don’t know what bind weed is, but I like dandelions okay. You kind of have to, you’re never going to win against them.

Just tell yourself bees like them.

Where im at, if I didn’t mow until June my lawn would be three feet tall and i’d have several tickets. Still, I don’t mow until may, and then just the front for another few weeks.

You want biodiversity? Don’t weed, don’t spread any pesticides or growth chemicals, and don’t let the natural grass go so long it chokes out the other plants. And the real key, is don’t do any of those things for years. From the street, my yard looks like a yard. It’s a different color than the neighbors, but it’s still green. Up close, it’s a salad. More violets, Moss, clover, flowers, wild lettuce, and a hundred things I can’t identify than grass. Its full of bees, caterpillars, beetles, butterflies, and stick bugs.

I got my neighbor on board, and we’re single handedly keeping fireflies alive in the city. I started seeing bugs I haven’t seen since I was a kid.

As an added bonus, since it’s a smaller proportion grass, I don’t have to mow half as often to keep it looking ‘nice’.

I’m not an ecologist, but I feel like it’s a solid step in the right direction.

Well yeah fuck that guy and this program and it’s implications, but this particular issue doesn’t sound too unexpected considering the scope of the procedure.

I’m all for the science, but you know this is going to be some directly streamed ads hellspace we’ll never escape from if it comes to fruition.

Here’s a good rule for this sort of thing to move forward: No implants before right to privacy and freedom from advertising.

Line from a solid song by a local band i found when i was 16. Oddly enough, it never occured to me how much i liked it as a name until a decade later.

Sounds like what tsa should be doing. Either security is necessary or it isn’t. The airport is the most classist place in the country.

I’ve played most of the metroid games, and i know theres a ton of nostalgia for super metroid, but to this day nothing has matched the feeling of exploration and awe from Metroid Prime. Every place in the game was so radically different, and the ability to scan and learn about the environment was so unique, and exactly what i didn’t know i needed. Learning the lore and finding out what happened to the planet only by analyzing everything made the world feel like it had died, and it’s death was a tragedy. All the enemies you encounter are just local animals that don’t know better, or had been corrupted by pollution. That is, until about halfway through the game when you meet actually hostile, malicious intelligence, and the combat steps up exponentially.

It’s fantastic. I still remember being amazed at the fogging and raindrops showing up on the visor the first time you step off your ship on Talon IV. I had never seen graphocs so good, and such attention to detail, and the game was already 4 years old.

The only game i’ve ever played that felt similar was subnautica, and while it had the wonder, it lacked the melancholy and insane combat.

Prime is the best in the series, hands down.

With how much they can charge for every individual comfort, suicide will never be more profitable than suffering. It it was, we wouldn’t be having these debates.

But what about the pharmaceutical company shareholders? Don’t they get any say in how long we need their products? Yes one person might be in terrible pain for years, but at least twelve people will make a lot of money.

(It cuts out the middle man of having to find facts on your own)

I’m sure that’s just a perk and not indicative of the new age of captured information wer’re currently living through.

My Bluetooth speaker came with KEXP loaded as one of it’s preset radio stations, and I found several bands I now love through it. I had it going while doing housework for a while, and found myself looking up artists a few times a day. It feels like a proper college station from 20 years ago.

The man in question:

In the settings menu for flauncher there’s a button for Android options. If you open that you should be able to adjust the picture settings, it at least find the Bravia settings that can control the picture.

I believe that’s exactly the case with most of them, which is why I wanted an android in the first place. It’s a known architecture.

I limited the background processes when I was customizing everything, so because of that apps take about 2 seconds longer to open, because they weren’t on standby. Fewer background things mean it starts up a lot faster though. The apps all work as they should.

The ADB commands I used just disable the default launcher, it’s still there if something goes wrong. If you switch over and something doesn’t work, you just send the same command with ‘enable’ replacing ‘disable’ and it’s back to normal.

65". Got it at Costco for around 600$ in 2021. I fought with the regular os after some updates about a year ago. Before that Google wasn’t shoving shit down my throat all day. I’ve been considering rooting it for a while, but finally got the motivation today.
