Incredibly annoying and passive aggressive, yet somehow still less annoying than actual reddit.

IME what works best is sound deadening foam ear plugs, with an over ear headphone with the volume turned up. You know, big ones with passive noise cancelling.
Cheap and if anything seems to work better than bluetooth ear defenders. (for me).
Listen to music, audiobooks and/or podcasts. Hard labour is hard. Distract yourself.
I dunno, I think the redesign is a significant improvement:

Far less annoying than the old design.
IME the battery isn't the issue, especially if you get a phone with a big battery to begin with.
It's the lack of updates that's the issue which means you can no longer use certain critical apps (banking, government, etc.) on your phone.
The phone becomes obsolete before the battery ever dies.
From wikipedia:
The Russian Defense Ministry said it had recently destroyed six unmanned surface vehicles (USV) in the Black Sea. When asked for comment on the Caesar Kunikov, both Russian military and Kremlin spokespersons declined to comment.
Why is he being sacked? He should get a medal for succesfully destroying six USVs.
Probably related to this:

Fun fact: the soviets simply used thicker steel. That's partly why there's so many of those shitboxes still riding around the ex-soviet block. Based on the Fiat 124, which often rusted and died in the Italian sunshine, the Soviet variant often rusted but survived in Siberia.
That's tame.
I was once banned from a twitter based subreddit for posting something which got a few thousand upvotes. My post was deleted, I was banned, then it was reposted by what I presume was one of the mod's alternate accounts with the exact same title.
I was also permabanned for posting this gif:

...in response to (IRC) someone suggesting a small power shortage in Denmark was the fault of the Russians. Inciting violence. Against the rules.
Then there was that time during covid when I ever so politely suggested to the mod of a national subreddit, that perhaps they shouldn't compare vitamin D supplements to cyanide or give medical advice, and posted a link to an article on the British Medical Association's website which gave advise on whether to take them. At which point the mod banned me, and reported me for ban evasion. I don't think I got permabanned for that one.
TBH I'm most angry at myself for having wasted so much time on reddit over the years. Being banned by the mods on occasion was kinda funny, given it didn't actually matter if you had a VPN and I regularly deleted my account for privacy reasons anyway.
It is.
Given Trump's remarks about NATO and Putin's remarks about the Baltics, it's also genuinely scary.
More David Lynch Dune than Denis Villeneuve Dune.
