That form factor looks quite awkward for one-handed use. OG Blackberries were amazing because they were the perfect size to do things quickly one-handed, but you could switch to 2-handed typing for longer messages. I think it will be tricky to capture that kind of flexibility in a modern phone because the screens are so large.

Use SteamDB to check price histories. Steam Sales often present the lowest historical price on any game.

Same here. Nobara was too glitchy so I switched to Bazzite and love it so far. Sigh.

I’ve always wanted to try sardines and this may be the best way to do it. What is country ketchup, though?

When I was living in a car I’d wardrive nightly to find Wifi. This was before Wifi was commonly available in public spaces, and household routers often used a default password or no password at all. I’d use it to pirate games and movies to keep myself entertained.

Later I moved into a 4 plex apartment and convinced the neighbors to share one Internet connection. We ran ethernet through walls and across the roof and split the bill.

You really shouldn’t use your debit card for anything other than withdrawing money at an ATM. Credit cards are safer plus you get rewards.

I’m on vacation but it’s gonna storm every day. Luckily I just picked up a retro game I’ve been wanting to play, so that should keep me entertained.

I finally got a Plex client up and running on a raspberry pi for my CRT TV. So now I can watch all of my old movies and shows without swapping out a DVD when I’m comfy.

Yatta and the related flash animation comes to mind. There was a period in the mid 2000s where every anime con had a group of buff nearly naked guys wearing nothing but a leaf as tribute.

Two years, and I had to wear headgear. Not sure if that’s still a thing, but it was a big metal contraption that went around your whole head. The pain was unbearable and I had no social life from how weird it looked.

That sounds absolutely amazing. Adding it to my reading list.

Rereading Ender’s Game. I had first read it when camping years ago and somehow misplaced it when I was 5 pages from the end of the book. I was so salty about it that I never picked up another copy to finish it until now.

I think it’s good that I waited because the political B plot hits home with the state of the world today.

Edit: I finished the book tonight. I was not prepared for that kind of trauma.

The title is intriguing. What’s it like?

Idk man, air conditioning is pretty nice.

Traveling to hang out with my old college besties, then a pride festival

Zoos are awesome! Share some pics later.

Exactly the same here, minus the wife. If I make it to 9pm without being in bed it’s a miracle. I wake up with the sunrise and get tired at sunset.

If you hand someone a sharp object like a knife or scissors you will soon get into an argument. Gotta set it on the table for them to retrieve instead.

Ground beef prices are wild. I’ve been finding occasional good sales on ground turkey, sometimes even $1.99/lb. I use it as a substitute for ground beef in tacos and such, and it works well enough.
