Moto g play 2024. Happy with it. My flatmate just got a new Galaxy, which cost about 9x as much. For my use case, I'm missing a brighter display, esim support, and gorilla glass. That's not worth paying 9x. My battery also lasts significantly longer.

They're already looking at ending in-person town hall meetings due to the backlash they're getting. Which will just cause constituents to seek out their reps in an unmanaged setting

Qualifying your analogy with (mostly) kinda makes it fall apart for me. Because the fediverse also works like how you described email (mostly). There might be a few extra exceptions due to relative immaturity of the protocol is all.

It's already down for me

I don't want to know this, but it's cinnamoroll

There's caveats to that these days. Official streaming, in practice, sure. But with a debrid/similar service and sufficient bandwidth, you can pirate stream files with equivalent quality to uncompressed Blurays

This one & LaD Gaiden (The man who erased his name) are more story DLC's for Yakuza 7 & 8, respectively. Just, they are big enough to merit standalone releases in RGG's opinion. LaD Gaiden was essentially an experiment in releasing this way, and it went well. But the new game isn't Yakuza 9, if that makes sense.

GNOME on my laptop, using the trackpad. Three-finger swipe up to switch tasks/search. Two-finger tap for context menus. Three-finger tap for things like opening in a new tab, or closing a tab. Simple, intuitive, efficient, comfortable.

I think you can just add archive.md or archive.ph etc before the URL of the article, e.g. archive.ph/https://vox.com/whatever to skip that. I've never had to do any captchas this way

You gotta actually break the procurement cycle where they receive books free to own themselves and it's not some janky copy before they realise this way is better

Check their libraries for their favourite authors. Get them a Kobo. Load it up with their favourite author's bodies of work before giving it to them. Problem solved.

Where has he denied doing the shooting? He's pled not guilty to specific charges like first degree murder and terrorism; that doesn't preclude him from having done the shooting in question.

The former and latter behaviour also occurred before and after receiving legal advice, respectively.

Debian laptop user here, left Windows on my gaming desktop for a decent while. Now that I'm more accustomed to Linux DE's I installed Nobara on it about a month ago. Zero issues with the NVIDIA variant on my 3080 so far

I think that's true for small containers, such as a can. Whereas 1.5L is an impractical amount to drink of anything, more likely to lead to drinking until satiation rather than until the container is finished. Especially where the starting point of the habit involves opening a fresh container with a certain aesthetic, and finishing it. That itself can be psychologically addicting. It was for me.

Neither aluminium nor plastic are infinitely recyclable. I read somewhere that factoring in the energy and materials required in the initial production of the container, plastic is about 13x more wasteful. So while of course it depends on serving size (which would logically be different transitioning from small cans to large bottles), as well as recycling programs in your area and their respective efficiencies, you're most likely correct that the carbon footprint of large bottle would be higher overall.

What I really meant to get at was 'waste' in terms of the amount of empty containers that tend to pile up around you. For myself being addicted to drinking cans of fizzy, I would stack them around me and it would become a much larger job to clean them up than it is for large bottles.

I'll also say that while being addicted to cans, I lamented their relatively higher cost and was more compelled to go for small bottle form factor on occasions where they were available cheaper than cans, rather than large bottles. Small bottles of course being by far the most wasteful.

Switch to a caffeine-free version some of the time, then all of the time. For Pepsi Max this is only available in the 1.5L bottles where I am, so add in an extra step switching from cans to bottles (which should also reduce cost/waste).

Buy a nice reusable water bottle and ensure you have a clean, not-bad-tasting source of fresh water to fill it with (where I am this means bottled or filtered). Keep it filled and close to you at all times. Only use water in it.

Once you're comfortable with these adjustments, taper off the fizzy drink. If you're still having significant trouble or cravings, or substitute for something worse: just keep drinking the fizzies. It's one of the least harmful bad habits you could have, and depending on your circumstances might be a best case scenario

My purple roasties come out purple as. Could maybe adapt to a mash without boiling but would need to run them through a ricer or something

I liked the Weeknd version of whatever the 80 degrees leak ended up being called. The Ant Clemons version was better but it was nice to have a more polished sounding version too, and I was glad the song finally made it on an album.

The song before that one with Fivio was cool.

Come to life was nice.

Anyway, these are my opinions from before the "white lives matter" "fashion show". I already heard about the "DJ Khaled's son" stuff by that point, so idk why I gave him the benefit of the doubt. But it all ended after that for me. I was still exposed to his later stuff through work, peers, review/reaction video channels etc. And from that perspective, it wasn't that he as someone of genuine artistic merit had less of a hand in his music and therefore that it was bad. Rather it was that the swifties were right: he fell off.

To be honest I stopped listening to the guy a while back and have forgotten a lot of it, but disagree based on what I remember.

I'm not here to stick up for Kanye by any means, but Vultures/Vultures 2 is bottom of the barrel shit. There's just no comparison.

Imo there is a much larger distinction between the post-Donda 2 era and everything previous, even Jesus Is King sounded good (besides the mixing & Closed On Sunday being a contender for corniest hip-hop song of all time)
