Open type fonts have these capabilities built in. It's up to the designer to implement it in useful ways like this.

Those bottles now run north of $150, so you're better off being sober in more ways than one!

What's your budget? If your friend is into bourbon then most everything here he's probably tried. To get a unique gift bottle will cost a bit more, depending where you are.

Simpsons has become so... tame. Among other words that rhyme, such as dart, cart, and e-art.

It was engineered for passive cooling, even if just barely. I don't think you need something as elaborate as a case fan when the whole thing is perforated like that. A single USB fan blowing on the case from 6 inches away is sufficient to keep my formerly toasty modem barely warm to the touch.

I didn't realize the LED was no longer ubiquitous! I rely on mine, and I take it a step further with missed notification reminder for a repeating audio tone every few minutes. I don't like having to stare at my phone all day long looking for work messages.

Too be fair, the AITA format is typically a self post, not an article link. We're used to commenting on the title only when it's worded like that.

I hope that gets changed when the next update finally goes out

Not to mention they are the superior salad utensil.

Snapdrop and pairdrop both support txt. On a PC right click your target. Android method will probably vary based on what app you're using.

Bingo. It's wild to me to hear other countries doing tons of their payments via apps. US is 10 years behind the rest of the world on that.

We have things like Venmo and cashapp that approximate the same thing, but in the end it's just the same ACH transfers the banking industry has used for 30 years and takes days to process. The apps just hide that behind the scenes. FedNow actually means instant and 24/6 (still doesn't run on Sunday, if I recall correctly).

SMS. Universal and ubiquitous thanks to free or nearly free inclusion in phone plans. American English has no need for expanded character sets and carriers/Apple/Google have added just enough features on top that the vast majority of people aren't left wanting for more.

Instant payment was literally impossible until this summer, and given it's so new almost no bank has support for it yet. Privacy/encryption don't enter into most people's consciousness.
