  • I still have it around somewhere in hopes I can fix it

    When I got it, my family said it didn’t work, it had some weird error. I charged it and turned it on so they were like “sure you can have it”

    It was my first smartphone,. actually, and I used it for quite a while until it died again. I don’t remember the error, but it was basically bricked and I couldn’t factory reset it via the phone menu. I had a very young child and trying to figure out the android sdk for a computer to fiddle that out was too taxing for me

    I really liked that phone for sure. I’m sure it’s a lot of nostalgia, but I miss the older simpler phones. Much easier to handle, too.

    I’ve currently just been using every couple generations of the Xa model. This one’s a pixel 7a, last was a 4a which the child has now. It’s got severe battery life issues after that update recently but I haven’t looked into it too hard. Been wanting to look for some alternatives and I’m leaning towards something unconventional, at least by today’s standards. I checked out that phone and it really looks good, both aesthetically and specs wise




  • I watched a video about the worst of CES. I was kind of amused that some of the winners of worst-of weren’t even new ideas

    There was a candy I remember that from a long time ago, idk 2000ish? It was a lollipop you bit down on and you could hear music played through your teeth. I never tried it but it was sold where I worked

    Another idea, the worst of the worst, was the smart fridge. I remember from business classes I took many years ago used that as an example of innovation. Or a “smart” microwave. You let it know what ingredients you have, for example by scanning the barcode, so it can recommend recipes or alert you when something is running low

    The rendition of those ideas at the CES were so out of touch



  • What I imagine is besties; driver is indeed a gay guy but there’s a scrappy chick who’s down for anything riding along

    I don’t know where to find it, but it gives me the vibes of this clip I saw: chick getting regular voice comms harassment in a game and she replied (as close as I can remember)
    “I’m going to fuck your dad and give him a child he can be proud of”

    I’ve been meaning to reply sooner, but I kept your comment up so I could get back to you

    You did mostly answer my question! I looked him up and was delighted by what I read. My first wh40k army was the necrons. I have their symbol hanging from my rear view mirror, even! It’s been there in my cars for the last 20ish years? I have the first necron codex

    [Insert image of codex here] I can’t find it atm, or else I’d share

    But I haven’t been active in a very long time and I was blown away by the changes to the units when I looked them up a few weeks ago

    Ultimately I was wondering what the artwork was from but I was still glad to learn about some new lore


  • You’re not dumb, you’re just not educated in this field. It’s basically an inside joke and you’re not in on it

    But I do agree. I’d love a blurb from the poster, just a sentence even, as to what it refers to. Also like the artefact pictures are amazing and beautiful but I want to know the significance, no matter how small it is


  • I guarantee you that’s a tree farm. I’d gladly be proved wrong

    The uniform height, spacing, and lush branches are a key clue. I wish I took pictures on my last trip so I could show you what I’m talking about, but I was traveling through a place undergoing logging. In the forest, like you’re thinking, the lower branches are dead because the crowns are crowding out the light. In the understory, lower light plants thrive, ones who can’t really take full sun all day

    I say this to hopefully assuage your feelings about the picture. The tree did what it was meant to do, and in a spectacular way

    Hey, I get it. I’ve seen and heard plenty of things that break my brain until I get some context clue

    The worst is when I tune into a song that’s already playing, or hear a sentence already being spoken, and my brain places pauses or is off a beat; I hear absolute gibberish and wonder if I’m having a stroke
