Yep, that came to mind, but I wanted to keep the original phrasing.

Yeah, probably something along the lines of “only if you agree with someone’s ideology”; the same “Terms and conditions apply” also works.

Land of the free¹, home of the brave

1. Terms and conditions apply

Yeah, but 4:20 originates as a time. The problem happens when you want to put it into a date as well.

Time is the only exception where I agree that the less specific part can come before the more specific one - just because more often than not one does not make sense without the other.

1. That movie/TV actors would put on some kind of rubber/latex masks on to get into roles, i.e. I didn’t think that most of the time they look like how they look like in everyday life. I’m not talking about makeup to age someone or turn them into a non-human character.

2. For a short period of time I would think that the news anchor on TV could see me at the same time I was looking at the screen - so I was very cautious as I was passing out of the shower and through the living room still in my bathrobe.

3. That there was a god, and if you pray really hard, your wish would come true. That was an idea from a friend - I kind of knew she didn’t really believe in it either and was just repeating something heard earlier, but I figured it was worth a shot. Needless to say I quickly saw through the crap.

At least 1st of May is a date that can actually happen.

I didn’t realise it was European, but I bought a Nothing mainly because it was one of the few options with an unlockable bootloader. I’m going stock this time, but at least I’ll have the option to unlock it if I change my mind later.

Yeah, good luck given the prices of garages these days.

I remember getting ice cream from McDonald’s - must’ve been 15 years ago. It was somewhat nice, but then the whole “the ice cream machine is broken” thing started and I haven’t bothered any more. Can’t tell about the rest of the food, but I share the sentiment that if it’s getting shittier and shittier, you shouldn’t support it.

I’d argue that there was human effort put in to develop it and make it learn how it’s learning now - but it shouldn’t be used to copy others’ art and make “art” on its own. Instead I’d really like it to see help diagnose and treat diseases, prevent crime and things like that. Ultimately it should be a tool to enhance human reasoning, not something to replace human creativity.

Been there, done that, and colleagues usually complain in the PRs that those one liners don’t need to be separate functions and are perfectly fine when used inline.

Imagine seeing your face in this picture.

Which America out of the two?

Common scenario to collect data about gullible people and scam them later - or just to get them to like a certain page and then sell the page with the likes.

Local supermarket chain is giving away free cars, just like this post and add a comment. Oh, and by the way the page was created two days ago and has 15 likes - must be legit!

Why Is Every Word Capitalised Though?

I’m not sure if the same (or any at all) noise reduction works when using speakerphone. I kind of understand the sentiment for using it - looking back at COVID times and the “don’t put the phone to your face, it’s dirty”, but even that was a bit exaggerated - and I still agree that there are still way too many people using speakerphone when they shouldn’t (voice-only calls and all).

From time to time I see people taking video calls on speaker in public (in enclosed spaces where everyone else can hear); in situations like this I’m always tempted to pop into the frame and say “HELLO!” since apparently the call is public, not private, and that maybe they’ll get a hint. I’ve never actually done it since I have the common decency, but others, sadly, just don’t seem to take social cues.

Just use a list. Untick anything that you finish or you see needs to be bought (or add it if it’s not there), tick anything you buy at the store. Share the list across the household so that everyone (hopefully) does the same.
