Then he’ll say well next time take the 5 for 3.9 miles, then hop on 78 until you see the 420 then do a triple lane change to the 69 then you’re home.

Without even knowing where those roads are I see you are on the West Coast.

No, it’s real life. I mean yeah I know the sketch, but I was in Crater Lake and heard people actually talking like that.

raptir ,

Pink should be a much larger slice.

raptir ,

Fuck. Yes.

Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter. Despite being Microsoft, it uses Miracast.

raptir ,

Aliens and Terminator 2 was really the surprise crossover hit of the decade.

raptir ,

It’s “two spirit”, which is an indigenous term.

raptir OP ,

I’ll give you one other category - off-road focused SUVs (Wranglers, Broncos, etc…)

raptir OP ,

Nah I’m just curious after seeing the meme post about manual transmissions.

raptir OP ,

Yeah it definitely seems like there’s some selection bias in the responses. Maybe we need an anonymous poll.

raptir ,

And what do we do with all the salt?

raptir ,

Well I never!

raptir ,

Speed has not been the reason to get a manual for a long time.

raptir ,

I miss my MME, but if you are saying ICEs are obsolete then you haven’t explored much of the country. There are huge swatches where it is impossible to charge or far more expensive to change than using gas in a hybrid.

raptir ,

Why not Firefox + ublock-origin on mobile?

raptir ,

Can’t you do all the script blocking from uMatrix in uBlock Origin?

Little bit of a strange article.

First, it’s about data transfer speeds. I don’t think… anyone else in my extended family, and certainly none of the iPhone users, use a cable to transfer data frequently.

But more importantly - the subtitle of the article says that only the pro models offer faster charging speeds. Despite the article being exclusively about data transfer speeds.

In most states in the US, if the automobile traffic has the green light and the pedestrian traffic has a “don’t walk” sign, then the pedestrians are supposed to yield to the cars.

raptir ,

It looks like it changed last year, but the UK. The law was previously that pedestrians in a crosswalk should wait until it was clear to start crossing, as opposed to cars should stop if someone is waiting to cross.

The healthcare issue is that I’m usually checking WebMD to see if what I’m experiencing is an actual issue that I need to go to the doctor for since it’s so expensive to go to a doctor.

raptir ,

They sold to a data analytics company.

raptir ,

Related genres but I wouldn’t say it’s a subgenre. They both evolved from “string music” but took it in very different directions.

raptir ,

It still is if you listen to alt country.

raptir ,

I’ll tell you that even at 4 I see differences in my son’s behavior if he watches Turtles or if he watches something like Puffin Rock.

raptir ,

What an odd trailer for what this patch is. Going back to the Reddit post that kicked it off feels like something you do for a 1.0 release. And the rhykker clip is specifically referencing content that is not part of this patch.

It was completely irrelevant sound bites set over some video of a Runemaster running around casting some spells.

Linux is a great way to extend the usefulness of an EOL Chromebook. I would not buy a Chromebook for Linux though. You’d be better off getting a used Thinkpad or something.

Wow. “These people have killed or attempted to kill everyone who came to their island. But maybe if I tell them about Jesus they’ll be friendly!”

[Rant] Cloud service is not a reason to have phones with only 128 GB

I am in the process of looking between repairing my phone or switching to a new one. And the no brainer evolution to the OnePlus 7 Pro I have is a Pixel phone. Pixel Phones are definitely not perfect, I know that the battery would fall faster than other phones but hey, that’s ok, google chip in it, possibility to go...

raptir ,

What options are there that don’t make a compromise on something like camera quality?

raptir ,

Even the Zenfone is making some compromises since it doesn’t have a telephoto.

And honestly I care more about an SD slot than a headphone jack since an adapter is not a big issue.

raptir ,

I have a smaller MILC that I love, but the reality is that nothing beats a camera that you always have with you.

Parmigiano-Reggiano makers are putting edible microchips the size of a grain of sand into their 90-pound cheese wheels to combat counterfeiters (www.businessinsider.com)

Well the counterfeit versions don’t have microchips in them.

That’s not how their book lending works. There are a limited number of copies and they can only be checked out in a DRM-protected format. Unless you strip the DRM from them you cannot print them out.

raptir ,

That’s not the issue though. There’s a finite amount of money that Spotify pays out based on the amount of subscription fees it is bringing in. That $38 million would be divided up amongst all the other artists if it wasn’t being paid to white noise podcasts.

raptir ,

There is competition - New Holland, Massey Ferguson, Case IH, etc… The problem is that despite all the anti-consumer nonsense John Deere still tops the lists as the best option.

raptir ,

Honestly I don’t know. All three I listed are American or have American production facilities (New Holland was founded in PA, and still has a facility there, but is owned by an Italian company).

raptir ,

Or cheese?

raptir ,

The problem is that tablets like this generally can’t take advantage of the turbo boost on the CPU due to thermal throttling. I’ll wait and see, but I expect it to perform worse than an N5100 laptop.

raptir ,

The problem is that the typical Republican does not believe this is related to climate change. When I suggested that my father-in-law laughed at me saying “yeah, everything is related to climate change huh?”

raptir ,

Then you should stop using YouTube.

raptir ,

Using YouTube, even with adblock, supports the idea that there is a market for this content and that it can be monetized.

raptir ,

I get Kenya even if I am in an private window and not logged in.

raptir ,

The topic isn’t even true.

raptir ,

What are you browsing in? I use Firefox and never get any of those popups when I use Google.

raptir ,

I’m using Firefox on Android and am not seeing anything like you’re mentioning.

raptir ,

I have accounts on four instances that are all still open for registration. And two did have an approval required but I got it within hours.

raptir ,

Bluetooth headphones are solid now, as long as you have something that supports aptx HD and LL (HD for music, LL for movies/games). But yeah they’re not cheap.

Steam Deck VS rivals

I was interested in buying a Steam Deck… Until I discovered all the (apparently) better alternatives. Asus Rog Ally, OneXPlayer, Aya Neo etc… I like the idea of an handheld console and obviously I would like to have a device that can run almost everything, so the Windows based handhelds seem better than the Steam Deck. Is it...

raptir ,

To be honest I’m not sure how to browse if you haven’t installed the game. If you want to copy from another game you can save the configuration as a template and then import it to the other game.
