If you piss on Ronald Reagan’s grave in California and are caught by police its a misdemeanor charge carrying a $1000 fine.

I mean if I was a millionaire YouTuber who farms outrage, based somewhere other than the US, I know what I’d spend a hundred thousand on…

As it stands, I’m not American and don’t live in the US, so I can’t really partake in the fun. I hope some people do, though.

Everyone who actually owns one says they’re keeping theirs for years and see no need to upgrade, but go on.

You have a valid point if you say this for all smart watches though. None will last half a century like a proper watch.

I mean soon as you add the book, it’s an entirely different proposition because now you have entertainment, so you’re traveling like a sane person.

Though personally I don’t know if I could concentrate with the noise. ANC and podcast for me, I’ll just accept that I’m less cultured.

Cybertruck isn’t allowed in the EU anyway so our regulatory agencies and courts have no power over it. Plus they could just enable it in EU and keep disabled in US if there was a verdict in the EU court system that they have to honor their original terms.

Conservatives will happily take their own wages being garnished as long as there are more liberals whose wages are being garnished than conservatives.

Okay yeah, Indian food has strong flavor for sure.

It’s more local stuff here that is fairly weak flavor and in comparison, American-origin fast food has stronger flavor. We’re a meat and potatoes kind of people. Without too much flavoring, except we have ridiculously strong mustard that you put on your plate instead of it being used to flavor the meat beforehand.

Skype didn’t fumble it, Microsoft just doesn’t know how to strategy. When they bought Skype, they killed MSN and told people to move to Skype, whereas they should’ve integrated the two to make the transition seamless. Then they had both Teams and Skype for Business at the same time by the time COVID happened.

They messed up on every turn.

Ah, I haven’t watched that in like a decade, didn’t know!

He’s the quintessential cowboy. If you’re making a movie with a cowboy character and he’s not interested in the role, might as well ditch the character.

He’s the narrator in The Big Lebowski and he’s also the dad in The Ranch.

If anyone does miss it, they’re a lost cause anyway IMO

Honestly I’d just suggest telling your ex-wife that it’s email only from now on.

MacOS has weirdly fast paging and shit, you don’t feel the lack of RAM immediately. But in the long run it’ll kill your (also soldered) SSD so that’s even worse for heavy users.

I think phone apps have more to play with as well nowadays. A Galaxy A55 can have 12 gigs of RAM now. That used to be considered overkill for even flagships, let alone midrange phones, just a few years ago. Plus both operating systems will suspend apps running in the background when needed.

Also the only time I’ve heard “memory is cheap” used IRL was in backend development. Because it’s cheap to scale up memory on your servers, but not cheap to spend a day or 2 hyperoptimizing a solution that’s fast enough. Dev time is expensive.

if you make your payment processing website unusable on 3 year old mid-range Android because adding 10 MB more Javascript increases ✨Development Velocity✨, there’s a special place in hell for you.

Look, I hate bloated websites too (in fact I hate most websites in general, give me a native desktop app that doesn’t use Electron or Webview!), but if a 3 year old midrange Android gives you trouble loading things, maybe blame the manufacturer. I flashed a custom rom on a 2019 Oneplus 7 Pro and it’s super fast now compared to the last version of the official ROM that it got. It’s my secondary device. Primary is an iPhone that’s 2 years old and showing any signs of slowing down.

Yeah, most people don’t really need it because most people have Wi-Fi at home and most people use their laptops at home. Business users may actually need to use them on the go and potentially in places with no Wi-Fi. But even most business laptops only get used at the office, at home, or maybe on a train (those also tend to have Wi-Fi).

So it’s optional for business laptops and not even available for most consumer laptops because if a business can save 20 euros per device on a thousand devices every 3 years, they absolutely are gonna take that option and a lot of home users are already buying 200-300 euro laptops that are basically good for nothing. They ain’t gonna pay extra. Unless it’s a gaming laptop, but those are tethered to the wall at home 90% of the time too.

Really, the only people who really need it are those who have to go work in the field somewhere sometimes.

Wake me up when there’s a system out there where I don’t need money to buy a home or go on vacation somewhere warm when it’s -30 outside. Unfortunately I don’t have a trust fund, so for now it’s work rather than drinking every day and tons of extremely shallow friendships. To be clear, I’m not saying I don’t have friends, I’m just saying I no longer have hundreds of people on Facebook I could just randomly message “what’s up” to without it being considered weird. Now it’s down to maybe 10-20 people who would help me hide a body if I called them at 3 AM.

Interestingly enough, where I live, it’s McDonalds that has strong flavors. Not the most complex flavors or anything, but they at least put enough salt in their stuff that you can taste it. Plenty of fancier places make burgers that are better in every other aspect but sauce has little to no flavor compared to say, a Big Tasty. But of course the funny thing is, some of these places are now cheaper than McDonald’s…

The one and only good thing about having less friends than in my teens is that I have more time to focus on work, which makes me money (directly proportional to how much I bill my clients). That and being able to move off Facebook because my friends are on Signal and Telegram.

Now, Zuck thinks I want fake AI friends so I could spend hours per day on Messenger again? Hell nah. I’ll go grab a beer in the pub or message one of my remaining real friends. If I dedicate my life to chatbots, I’ll soon have even fewer.

I watched the car headlight one. I’m pretty sure it’s not your fault it took longer than specified. The kit should’ve started with smaller grit numbers. They had you start with 2000, I FINISHED the sanding part with 2000 before the polish when I did my own headlamps on one of my cars. Though I didn’t use a kit, I went to a parts store and just picked out the products I needed.

Also if you do need to do it again and want to get a kit again, some have drill attachments, making your life significantly easier. They’re not expensive either.

Anyway, nice video. Hope you’ll continue to make them, though on PeerTube I don’t imagine you getting rich off it. I think having fun and populating the fediverse with content are good goals all on their own.

Can those be watched somewhere? I love me some repair videos. Cars mostly but other stuff is great too.
