Or maybe, just maybe, everyone communicates differently and sarcasm is hard to portray in written communication. Go eat some and chill a minute. I’ve heard plenty of people say the exact same thing you just said and did not mean it as sarcasm, which makes it even harder to tell.
If you’re being sarcastic it isn’t clear. “Just following orders” is never an excuse. The Nazis tried to use that one.
To be fair, that long ago the Internet felt like nothing but flash videos and flash games
I’ll pull you through the streets on a rickshaw announcing it
Thought I was in a Halo thread for a second. Feels the exact same. Now if you’ll excuse me I’m gonna go snort Dorito dust and install Halo again
Well duh, hot things are too hot to cross. That’s why they painted the Mexico fence black last week remember? If the fire heats the water too much they can’t cross it. It’s genius is hear, genius!
It depends on the data but usually I’m just never offline. My NAS is accessible from around the world for my music and code repo and since I’m on IPV6 I didn’t even have to deal with port forwarding and reverse proxy nonsense. Photos I’m hosting an app that’s similar to Google photos and backs up from phone (it’s kind of custom to how I do things but there’s various self hostable apps). If I know I’m going to be truly offline unable to even connect through my phone somehow I’ll manually copy the files to my laptop. I haven’t done that in like five years though and it’s only been a mild inconvenience once and honestly I just disconnected and enjoyed a peaceful offline day.
Or a NAS for truly decoupled. Only thing I’d lose with a fresh install is any installed applications which can all be pulled again easily but the added upside of my wife also having easy access.
Google has actually released a software update to try to prevent the modem battery issue and are replacing the battery in affected models for free. Rare easy win from a megacorp
Not typically. You’ll see police along the major highways for speeders and the like but no state border patrol like that. Legally often transporting across state lines is a crime in and of itself but it’s one of those things where they look the other way unless they catch you using whatever item.
Often this is done for practical purposes, because if it’s legal in the state you started in, and might be legal in your final destination, they’d piss off more people that not of they stopped and confiscated from everyone.
It’s the salt mostly. Especially with indoor cats who often don’t get wet food and so are on the under hydrated side of things as they tend to not drink as much as they should.
Technically any without garlic or onion is safe for them to have a tiny bit as a treat but it’s so incredibly easy to overdo that it’s just safer to not give it to them.
Too much nitrates or nitrites is bad for cats yes, but they’d have to eat an excessive amount for it to be a concern and again the excess salt would be a bigger issue first.
I can (potentially) explain the double bagged paper. Growing up in the South that was the de-facto cooling rack, no wire racks or wax paper like you see today. They were cut open, laid on any flat surface, them cookies or cakes or what have you were laid on them to cool. They’d wick away moisture or grease and be easy clean up.
Free with groceries and if they were double bagged you had enough for a double batch of chocolate chip cookies while also usually guaranteeing (usually) the bag wouldn’t split from condensation or something before you got home.
They’re talking about bubble foam tea. Sure that was a thing but at least in any part of America I’ve been in, boba tea and bubble tea from the start was the tapioca pearl drink.
Some people get this purist notion that things can only ever be one thing and screech if someone uses a term differently.
The “bubbles” refers to the little edible tapioca balls at the bottom.
The name started as “bo ba”, the Chinese name for the tapioca pearls, and the west turned it into “bubble”. No idea what the original Chinese means, could just be bubble.
It’s often a sweeter milk tea (though pretty much anything goes these days)
I don’t know about you, but my Pixel 6a already does this. When I go to install an APK not from the app store directly it warms me, requires me to acknowledge that the APK was downloaded through Firefox, and acknowledge what permissions it is requesting.
That’s a good point for the future, but I meant on my Pixel 6a and I bought it directly through Google.
That’s yet another trend that’s made me less and less interested in things. You’re not wrong though and will likely be my fall back
Devolving*
I’ve been hemming and hawing. Switched to Linux pretty much full time for my PC, this will push me 100% into FOSS phone. Over half my apps I use would get blocked
I haven’t read the paper but they might mean “Generative AI”
