Yep, you can always traverse the intestine and poke out of the ass.

Currently on book 3 of the Abhorsen saga (which actually goes by the name 'Abhorsen' after Sabriel (book 1) and Lirael (book 2).

Oh I love cows, especially medium rare with a side of creamy mashed potatoes and green pepper sauce.

So no, it's not that, it's the vegan proselytizing and general attitude.

Not at all. I just don't care for the 'holier than though' crowd.

Couldn't agree more.

People actually use RCS and Google messages?

Nothing new. My wife was a teacher in China, and when they came for her passport just after covid, we left the country instead.

I'd rather eat a spoonful of dry instant coffee than set foot into this establishment.

In China it's 汽油 which basically means "gas oil". It's a verbatim translation of gasoline.

You'd have to prove that the salesman said exactly that, and without a record it's at best a he said / she said situation.

I'd be happy to see Musk jailed though, he's definitely taunted self driving as fully functional.

I'm still holding on to the OnePlus 10 Pro myself, and deliberately keep it on Android 12, IMHO the last version of the OS that gives users sufficient freedom to do what they please. The newer Google APIs are quite restrictive.

Unfortunately my banking app and e-wallet (that is a must have where I live) are both not compatible with Graphene, so I'd have to have a second phone for those, and especially for the e-wallet, I'd need to carry it around at all times, which is a bit of a no-go.

Currently looking at the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra as a replacement when mine fails eventually, or maybe the Edge 60 Ultra when it comes out towards the end of the year. The 50 Pro is a huge step backwards, so no deal.

And OnePlus unfortunately takes quantum leaps backwards and has become yet another China brand.
