They can’t send warships from the Black Sea to the Carribbean. No warships are allowed passage through the Bosphorus Strait.

Tell past self: buy bitcoin early and HODL until they are worth ~$50k. DO NOT GET TEMPTED!!!

Can someone please create an organization called “Pride Boys” and make them so popular that searching for “proud boys” on google will turn up images of rainbow flags and gay men?

Somehow looks like very little damage for such a big missile. Still ain’t buffing out any time soon.

Traffic enforcement cameras are good for all road-users, including car drivers! We need more of them, tbh. And I say that as a petrol-head.

enough onboard storage not to require any amount of expansion

This is just wrong, my man! 128GB are NOT enough to not need expansion! And sure, I can pay the manufacturer 50$ for an extra 128 gig, but for the same money I can buy a 500GB SD card online! And many phones don’t even have the option for this much storage. Why not offer more storage AND an SD card slot?

All new phones have audio connections built into the USB-C port

Yes they have, but now I can’t use my headphones without a shitty adapter anymore. An adapter that can easily get lost! What is the advantage of that?

I can tell you: it’s greed! We can sell you more storage at a premium. Your device storage ain’t enough? We offer cloud based storage for free! Oh, your free x amount of gigabytes is full? We sell you more storage as a subscription! Well, you don’t need storage anyways, because everyone streams their stuff today, don’t they? (Also subscription models)

Your phone doesn’t have a 3.5mm jack anymore and you can’t use your headphones anymore? Buy our adapters for very little money (but that’s basically 5$ in extra profit per sold phone). Or, you know, bluetooth headphones! They are more convenient anyways, because they are wireless. Oh, you just need to charge them every few hours and the batteries in them are dead after ~2 years, that means we can sell you another pair for 150$! And god forbid you lose one of the tiny suckers, that’s gone be 150$ to replace them.

FUCK THAT!!1!

Also many pedestrianized streets allow for deliveries with larger vehicles! These just have to drive more carefully and slower for the last couple hundred meters. Usually just a city block or two.

Bud, read article 5 before you spout nonsense.

Well, that doesn’t seem secure. Guess you guys down under are more trustworthy than us germans.

Let me guess? You can also just vote at a specific polling station?

The system works, because each citizen is assigned to a polling station, and once a name is crossed out that person can’t vote again. If you happen to arrive at the polling station and your name is already crossed out they will probably ask for photo id next and if it is really you they might call the election office to find out what to do next. This system is somewhat crude but effective.

Emojis generally replace the period but come after a question mark or exclamation point.

Can I borrow your pen? 😊

I borrowed your pen 😅

You little shit! 👿

If this comes on top of the current ad-load then it is enshitification. If it replaces mid- or pre-roll ads it might make youtube somewhat usable again, even without adblocking.

The british didn’t quite overcome the old ways of measuring. They still use miles, pints, stone, and so on.

Companies just need to print the metric amount on the box as well.

This is what they use. Still a horrible way to measure things.

To show that their Economy isn’t struggling from sanctions and to give the people what they want: entertainment.

There is a lot going wrong in Russia right now and Putler needs a win.

Use construction adhesive. It’s inexpensive and actually works with your use-case

Screws with a left hand thread would be much appreciated, they would make the bed levelling process more intuitive.

How the fuck is noone mentioning the 900$ price tag?? That is not a mid-range phone!

If a plane can stay level enough for long enough to get people into parachute gear and out the door, chances are good that the pilots can land that plane, which significantly decreases the chances of injury to the passengers.

I know that I couldn’t clear that bar, that’s why I never make appointments before noon.
