6 days agoThe drink on the right is caffeinated, maybe that’s why they added sweetener? The label on the left doesn’t mention caffeine.

7·7 days agoDo obnoxious stuff for “librul tears”.
Cry like a baby when people do obnoxious stuff back.
4·22 days agoSome of my non-techie friends were complaining about how rubbish Google search is now and I suggested Duck Duck Go. They couldn’t get past the name. I know it’s based on some childhood game in the US but it makes no sense to anyone here in the UK.
Someone told them they’d get brain cancer.
Seriously though, a lot of us olds have our phones Bluetoothed to our hearing aids. So at least with us you only get to hear one side of the conversation. “I’M ON THE BUS!”
I accidentally triggered Gemini while taking a close-up photo of something in my hand. It threw up a nearly full-screen “how can I help?” message. I muttered “fuck off”, and the message now read, “I’m sorry you feel that way…” Oh my god no. NO. Gemini now disabled.
One time after a meal out in Wellington, the waiter chased us up the street - he’d just realised he overcharged us for wine, and was bringing us the cash.
Am I the only person here who remembers when Hong Kong killed all its chickens because a few people died of H5N1 flu? https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1997-dec-29-mn-3171-story.html
A BMI calculator will just use height and weight - if you have a lot of muscle bulk you’ll get a higher BMI result even if you’re lean. Conversely, some people are “thin on the outside, fat on the inside”, ie they carry a lot of visceral fat around their organs. So while BMI can be useful, it’s not perfect.
I once was a passenger in a clown car squeezed full of people who were all high as kites, including the driver. We were bowling merrily along, when someone said, “How fast are we going? I feel like we’re going really fast.” There was a bit of discussion about how fast we should be going, and whether it felt faster than that, and then the driver thought to check the speedo. 25mph, in a 30mph area. I haven’t laughed so hard since.
So yes, it can impair your judgement when driving.
This is it. Yes, spinning HDDs may be cheaper, but replacing mine with an SSD made my PC faster and quieter, especially on boot.
1·1 year agoThere’s no headphone jack… but I just Bluetooth audio to my hearing aids, so it’s not a problem.
My phone has two SIM slots (Oppo Find X3).
3·1 year agoHa ha yes - bees with horns, what a thought!
Unbelievably, the hieroglyph next to the bird is a bee. It’s like whoever designed it had never seen a bee, but had them described by someone who knew someone whose cousin was stung by a bee that one time.
Amazon gets these dumb answers because it emails buyers with the questions. So Joe Blow gets an email saying, “will this fit my XYZ?” and he answers, “I don’t know, but it works ok on my ABC”. It makes the Q&A section mostly useless.
277·2 years agoI don’t generally judge people based on their appearance, but this man’s face gives me the heebie-jeebies. There’s something alienating about the lack of affect he seems to have, plus his features seem to be an approximation of a human face - the mouth is too small, the ears too big, the forehead too shiny…
My first adventure in Linux back in 2003. No idea how I achieved this, but from memory I just reinstalled and all was well.
