That’s Dean Kamen’s fault

Is there lint packed into the bottom of the port? It’s not just dust on the contacts making a bad connection, it’s dust shoved into the bottom physically preventing the plug from inserting fully. I out my faith in smart ports and use the metal Sim eject tool, alternating with air. Canned air is best, but I’ve done just fine with a hard cheek-loaded puff. Both my type-c phones (pixel 3a, pixel 7) have shiny port floors (the 0) so it’s pretty obvious when I clean it properly

I figure everyone on Lemmy knows, but C is prone to dust collection. Any time I think the port is wearing out, a cleaning of the port with a Sim tool brings it right back to life. It’s not tired retainers, it’s a plug stuck a millimeter out

I forgot I had one of those prank voicemails until a hiring manager reminded me :(

Interesting. How many packs per month? I’m sure it’s manageable and I’m interested

I used to nap daily for 20-40 mins on a 1-hour lunch in my car. I hated the job and had a 75 minute commute while never letting myself go to bed early enough. I got pretty good at it and can nap pretty effectively. 26 minutes is how long you want to be asleep for, according to NASA. It helps to have a routine to make both falling asleep and waking easier

I thought this was all fairly automated at this point. Are we talking about running analysis programs locally or are we sitting there doing blink comparator style viewing?

Ctrl+tab is how I play “spot the difference” between pdfs in Adobe. If you’re every looking for minute differences to a document (or catch accidental changes), it’s a neat tip. Then you can tell your coworkers “this is how they found pluto” as you point to their mild text omission

Or that the site owners aren’t just two bit grifters

We are the descendents of the calories you couldn’t burn (are you gonna finish those fries?)

While I certainly agree with your account of their words, those people are notorious for making excuses about their own situation. People outside the clique? Their fault and they deserve it. Inside the clique? Just a mistake, fell in with the wrong people, followed the wrong path, was tricked by Satan, etc. Just go to church on an off day, say you’re sorry, and spam God with a dozen prayers.

I’m morbidly curious if priests will [selectively] report abortions. They obviously stand on their pulpit claiming one thing about sinning, but they also have to uphold the Christian ability to repent for any sin at any time. Admitting some sins are unforgivable would literally be worse than death, as that’d mean being irreversible condemned to an eternity in hell. Can’t be having that, right? That’d lose followers! I guess there’s loopholes about not being responsible for life on Earth. But this is the root of their defense about not reporting CSAM to legal authorities.

Did you intentionally say pro-choice? Because that all sounds pro-life without specifically mentioning abortion

“hehe sui-cycle, donorcycle” and a dash of, when you really simmer it down, “motorcyclists deserve to die”

Or this post pulled a disproportionately large motorcycling sample of users because they’re tired of hearing the same tired joke from non-riders that use their sample bias to bash a hobby

Emphasis on pea size. I don’t know the actual limit, but most soap is actually a problem in a washing machine. Laundry detergent is specifically non-sudsing. Dish soap puts you at risk of having a foamy mess to deal with.

I didn’t think she was relevant to this fresh rando trend either. I just meant it was 50/50 her or a rando. Really, 1/3 Picard maneuver sometimes. And by “promotional”, I only meant to whatever weird scheme is going on with the fresh rando, not that we should just enjoy the seemingly nefarious high-turnover scheme

Youre choosing to be esoteric.

They don’t. Rise at the equator is slightly more due to the same reason the Earth bulges at the equator: centripetal force. The already-elevated sea level plays into the gravitational baseline at sea level, so gravity is 0. 5% weaker there than at the poles. The tides are also typically more aggressive at the equator and will only get worse, since it’s in the plane of the moon’s orbit.

The rules say you’re going to be attacked. Surely, the victor will hold the land for decades. Why not try to take it now first before the rest of the planet is desperate?

If I get a ute as my next vehicle, I need this guy’s face in the window

Is this Civilization loaded with automatic peace treaties, soon to be followed by nukey Ghandi?

Fun fact, if anyone knows the game/meme but doesn’t know what happened: Ghandi was set to have the lowest level of aggression possible, but a modifier was able to reduce it further. The negative value then got interpreted as the maximum value for aggression.

Climate change make you a tasty target. You’ll be less affected than equatorial shores int terms of sea level rise and your climate is warming. Why do you think Greenland is being targeted by the US right now? Because the US military is planning for global warming across the globe.
