You called? Team small phones for life!

I’ve definitely had people who were working for me say “I have four boats” and I’m like wtf bc I know how much they make. Then I find out they live over an hour away from work in the middle of nowhere, their mortgage is less than half my rent and two of the boats are “project” boats that don’t even run. The only drone person I know is childfree, huge savings right there, and they don’t live in a city either. Tbh some of the things people do for these things, the amount of work does not make sense to me but if that’s what you want to do with every single weekend, go right ahead.

Plus I find these people with a lot of money invested in their hobbies tend to be older, like 30-40 years old. Then I’m like, I could probably afford a 5k 3d printer in a decade but that’s not what I would spend my money on.

My dad fixed up a Chinese laser cutter to save money (it was like 1k by the end of it), it sat in the basement for a while there. Personally, I assume YT is not their only job. I’ve worked with people that have sunk way more than 10k into their hobbies, the car people in particular are sometimes unbelievable and that I don’t get. Drone and boat people too. The small planes are kind of cool. At least with these tools, you can actually make money off them.

3D printers and laser cutters are significantly cheaper now. Also those and CNC machines, people can use them for business like you send them the file and they ship you the item. Laser cutters people use for custom engraving, they just buy a bunch of blank keychains, coasters, etc off alibaba and make them on demand. You can find tons of these stores on etsy (people will just steal the models for popular characters and print them out on demand for a profit), here’s a more expensive one. Or like my family, print out warhammer 40k models instead of buying them because it’s literally cheaper.

Also these they might not have bought them new, like our university will rarely get rid of equipment to free up storage and because it’s so specialized and so few people know how to get access, you can get a really good price. We had two rooms of printers that we had to get rid of because students kept breaking them and it was too much of a pain to keep them running. We also bought new milling equipment to upgrade the shop and got rid of the old stuff which was working fine.

That’s not unusual, imo high refresh rates on phones are a bit of a marketing tactic bc they don’t really have the computation power to support it when it counts (no one really cares if a static GUI is shown at 120 Hz but it is a waste of battery, you want it for gaming, videos, etc)

They say they’ll do it but if they get a enough users without it then I think they might scrape that feature. I can’t imagine it integrates well with their existing code

Not really a new thing for them, they’ve been trying to milk r/place since the first one. The last time they let it run too long as well, it needed to be like a 1 or 2 day max thing not a week

Middle?

It’s not a required ingredient for sunscreen to work, it’s just to make it more water resistant (it stays on your skin longer) so those chemicals are typically used in sunscreen that’s marked for water/sports applications. You can buy PFAS free sunscreen too

Largely by avoiding waterproof or water resistant skincare products such as sunscreen and makeup. Also avoid using nonstick cookware.

Um the first part of 2 and the 2nd part of 2 are two very different things. I know lots of people who pass the language test to get into college but make a lot of grammatical errors. Also basically require spellcheck/chatgpt to write a basic email. Also even my roommate makes grammatical errors in conversation and she has to do her job in her second language. You seem bilingual to me, seems kind of silly you seem to think you need to spent a year in England or something to be considered bilingual.

Good bot, this is what I’m talking about

You need to join through your home instance (lemmy.ml) like going to https://lemmy.ml/c/foodporn@lemmy.world if someone from your instance has subscribed to the community or go to lemmy.ml and search for !foodporn@lemmy.world (you might have to wait a bit)

I have about 3-4 TB (maybe 5 if some old drives still work)

Other people are right, that there are ways to reduce the risk of contracting salmonella. However, I’d point out it’s highly unlikely you’d get salmonella from eating raw eggs once. If you wanted to eat them regularly then that’s a different story

I ended up using a vertical monitor + Zotero for note taking (allows you to highlight text and write comments). My ereader is small enough to be convenient but too small to read papers well. My tablet, I hate writing on screens and it’s also too small

I’m a big fan of Endless Ocean 2 which came out in 2009 but you need to use Dolphin to run it on PC (also torrent the disc files unless you can find a disc copy). Also it’s still the best diving game out there which is kind of crazy considering how old it is

That is an ad, they just posted it instead of paying LinkedIn

Canada - Many people here put water in the fridge or a britta jug to get rid of the chlorine taste

Same, I didn’t bother upgrading to the G8 because of that. I wouldn’t get a pixel bc they removed the headphone jack. I actually was leaning towards the sony xperia line but it’s not sold in my country. The CAT smartphone meets the specs I want but it’s expensive. I just replaced the battery in my g7 so I hope to get another year at least out of it and hopefully something better gets released.
