Other platforms exist. I’m sure they’ll be fine.

You’re in for a treat, my friend. I hope you love the book.

Manual lawnmower.

The surface RT and windows ME e-machine computer were both a close second.

If we used billboards for something like missing children or traffic announcements etc I’d be okay with that. But pretty much no actual ads for products. Billboards are a driving distraction and I don’t approve.

Whatever floats your boat. But EMS recommends against inserting things that don’t have a flared base. Do with that information whatever you want.

It’s a novelty lay on toy. Not for insertion.

The thing is, if I want something I’ll go looking for it. At the point where I’m looking for it or something like it, I am happy to consume ads even tangentially related to that thing. If analytics marketing worked this way (showing me relevant ads when I’m shopping for something, even if it’s for something I am not actively looking for), things would be better. But ads have worked their way into the cracks of everything and that’s my problem with them.

I hate Billboards. I don’t like circulars (waste of paper and generally too much trash), I hate junk mail and I think it’s predatory. Popups (singing, flashing, scrolling when I scroll to stay on the page, tiny exit buttons, video, etc) are garbage.

Trump would kill himself in a week. Vetinari wouldn’t even have to do anything except talk to his dog during the debate. Vetinari would even put through a request to the Assassins guild to make sure the price to beat was too high to have him assassinated. Just to make a point.

I mean. There’s a balance to walk between changing things to make game play more accessible and fun in a video game setting, and making it broken and perhaps less fun to play.

Well, if you did you’d have the whole D&D community after you. Some of them weren’t pleased that specific spell effects and conditions weren’t the same in game, and that was a hot topic in the community when the game first dropped. Kind of a damned if you do, damned if you don’t thing, so why break the game or disappoint players?

When you ask assistant to set a timer it may hang up. Most of the time that works (for me). Gemini can’t do that or couldn’t do that about a month ago when I was seeing articles about it. There’s key functionality of assistant that Gemini is just bad at. Ask it to launch an app for you? It will bring up a search of app launchers. It will not launch Gmail.

Wouldn’t be so bad if the hallway were properly sound deadened. But unfortunately even small sounds echo there. But yeah. Guess I’m less two hours of sleep today. Have a good day at work.

I like the username.

I’m up. Neighbors decided to have a fight in the echo-y ass hallway at 2 am.

Those calls and texts are illegal and should be reported.

Per the way that feature is supposed to work, leaving it plugged in all the time would stop charging at a certain point in an effort to prevent battery degradation and thermal runaway.

He wouldn’t need the setting if he’s leaving the phone plugged in all the time.

“To protect your battery health and help extend its lifespan, your phone automatically limits charging to about 70%-80% under certain conditions, such as: Continuous charging for more than a few hours under high temperatures. Continuous charging for more than several days.”

With the deals I got for trade in and their black friday deal the pixel 8 costs me less than $300. But it doesn’t have a telephoto lens so I didn’t mention it. The 8a should be launching around May or so and will be cheaper. But it will possibly have a plastic body. Don’t know how much or a deal breaker that is considering the coating on all the pixels that are out right now. The 7a is what one of my friends has and we compared phones and his just about the same size as my 8 and the only thing he complains about is the lack of headphone jack. If you’re feeling froggy you could put Graphene OS on either one and my understanding is that this does wonders for usability for a lot of power users on either phone.

Yeah. That makes sense. I’m just gonna say that I don’t know if there is a solution to those problems (being a shut in, or looking for players in this community). I know that the Reddit community was very much against LFG threads, and that it’s hard to step outside your comfort zone. But good luck. I think instituting a rule about toxic behaviours in and out of game toward other players and so on might help, but I don’t know that it will eliminate the possibility of this kind of situation.

The first table I played at I didn’t have the best experience. Some of the people I played with were quite toxic in their own ways and others I liked out of game but found to be obnoxious or otherwise disruptive in ways that made it hard for me to play with them. I was just happy to be invited to a table though so I didn’t set boundaries like I should have. At this point I haven’t played in about six months (DM had to move and we haven’t started back up because their life is still a bit of a shambles), and I miss it, but don’t think I want to start over at another table again.
