Is it possible to learn this power?

That word, I do not think it means what you think it means.

The Other Guys. At first glance, it’s a buddy cop comedy that harkens back to Lethal Weapon, but with humor typical to ~2010. But, the more you watch it, the more Zucker brothers esque, 1980s surrealist comedy influences you notice. One of the most subtly weird and funny movies to me, I’ve probably seen it, no lie, 10 or 15 times.

No. I daily a Galaxy S23. I really like it except for all of Samsungs preinstalled apps that can’t be deleted.

A couple months back, I bought a refurbished OnePlus 6T (2018) to mess around with Linux and de-Googled Android, and guess what, my phone which is 5 years newer feels virtually no different. It does have a better camera, granted, but personally that doesn’t effect me as I do any serious photography with a proper camera anyway (also, I have to acknowledge that the 6T is slower as it’s not really a flagship phone like the S23, but the 6T feels comparable quality and performance wise to some mid range 2024 phones I’ve used).

Bottom line, unless we see more Apple M-style chipsets in phones, imo, we’re at a plateau. You could get a $200 5 year old phone and be fine.

Rookie. Sneeze into the back of your knee, then we can talk

Yep, was scolded on reddit for “making a post about an antisemite” when I mentioned Mel Gibson in a list of some 10 odd other actors I liked (I even mentioned in the post that I was only refering to his acting, not his personal character). Guess by the internets rules, Mad Max is no longer a good movie?

The Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary and Denmark are all capitalist societies and run on <5 day work weeks. Capitalism is not the problem, North American society in particular is what seems to have the problem.

Forhead Fables. Bunch of silly goose gamers have a silly goose time. They also play Dungeons and Dragons and it’s very entertaining.

Teach people to mind their own business. Most of the conflicts I hear about are from people needlessly sticking their nose in other peoples business.

Microphones, webcams, capture cards, etc

Yet another item on my list of why I’ll never buy a modern car.

Try it on an external drive. I did that a couple years ago just to fool around and see if I liked it, within a week it was my main OS and I’ve barely used Windows since.

The only modern games I’ve ever had issues with were a few select DX12 games (and that’s due to my GPU). Outside of that, some old games outside of Steam game me trouble, but that’s usually just a matter of fiddling with some settings in Lutris. Even then, those are usually games that also have trouble on modern Windows versions, and they often require less tweaking on Linux to get them running.

Pinesol. Does a great job, smells good. Thats when I mop the whole floor though. For spills and such, usually just dishsoap/vinegar

The torque issue would be really easy to fix. The beauty of EVs is everything is computer controlled, so it’d be as simple as programming in a “low” mode by making the motors deliver power/torque on a much more gradual curve relative to pedal input (emulating a traditional gearboxes low range gears). The weight might be less of an issue at that point, although it’s still going to be a problem no matter how you slice it

The Leftovers. Really great premise, the acting and writing is fantastic, etc, only 3 seasons so I didn’t have time to get burned out. Watched it a year or so back and I’m already thinking it’s time to rewatch

Edit, gotta mention Get Smart. My parents showed it to me when I was young and it has really shaped my sense of humor in a lot of ways. Very wholesome (although some episodes are very much a product of their time).

1. I can totally tell tone of voice an intention through text /s

2. One of many methods.

3. Don’t be an asshole.

Yeah I’m aware they’re still in a really early/rough state, I definitely used the term pretty loosely. From what I understand they’re capable of reliably texting, calling, light web browsing and maybe playing some audio. If you aren’t someone who frequently/extensively uses your phone, and has decent knowledge of Linux, this may be enough for you. Def not the average user though.

Righ, just like how three letter agencies definitely don’t have zero-day exploits into your devices (until they remeber about that one they definitely did put in)

It’s since been backtracked as cited from another article. I was unaware as I don’t use Apple products and only heard about the plans when they were originally announced. I will update my original comment to reflect the feature being backtracked
