While I don't think the iphone is over-hyped I've started fantasizing about going back to a dumb phone. The LG enV 2 is still the best phone I ever owned.
It was basically all the same posts from Thanks I Love It, posted by very different people... or, often, the same people.
My thought too. The Dead Internet Theory was more of a prediction.
I'm old enough to remember the quasi-religious arguments over 24 (film) vs 25 (PAL), vs 29.97 (NTSC), vs 30 (monitors)
I only recently got a screen that goes above 60. I'm not sure I can tell there's a difference (but 4k is nice).
We need to get Wheezey Waiter to promote Breezy Weather on a podcast called Cheezy Wrangler. Link in the dooblydoo /s
This might be a tough one were I still using Reddit. I want to pay devs who do good work but I don't want my money to, in turn, pay Reddit so they can claim my content as their own.
The classic way I know of is a large black coffee and a bran muffin. If you can manage to get stuck in traffic about an hour after you eat, it increases the odds of it working.
Neil DeGrasse Tyson Tweet 1: I've been cleared to announce the real reason for Pluto's demotion from planet status. The decision was made after we received a request from from the Plutians...
I'm not only commenting more (because I'm not afraid people will bite my head off for everything I say) I'm also reading a lot more comments in general. I think it's for the same reason, the comment threads seem to involve actual constructive discourse. It's funny that I read fewer posts here than I did at Reddit but I spend a lot more time per post.
This tread has been a moment of personal discovery. In trying to imagine what movie I've seen this month I realized I haven't seen a movie yet this year - unless you count standup specials which live in the movie section of Plex. I'm like 80% sure the last movie I watched was the Bob's Burgers Movie. What happened to me?!
I got a science degree in the late 90's. Back then my eco profs talked about a lot of worst case scenarios that might occur in 2050's and beyond. Things like the break down of the mid-atlantic conveyor current, the collapse of the antarctic ice shelf, weakening of the air currents that feed the amazon with sand from the Sahara, and sudden drops of sea life populations (like crabs). Things that are all actively in progress now - 50 years ahead of those "worst case scenarios" of the 90s. Oops was a while back.
