Padme: So they’re going to cancel his defense contract, right?

I use a Kaweco Sport as my daily driver.

Bonus: Nobody ever “borrows” it at work because it confuses and terrifies them.

So has she

Maybe Canada, but the US is ruining them too

The legal problems he brought upon himself? By actively and blatantly criming? Boy that must suck for him.

OMG well that kills my dumb little joke then. I’m not deleting it, so hopefully other people who didn’t know about this will find your reply.

I’m not sure if it’s more awful because it’s innately horrible or because it’s that fn believable.

You know she watched the debate. And got more pleasure from that than anything he ever did, second only to getting a hush money check from him.

Sadly that won’t happen because Americans are special - and I say ‘special’ in that Midwestern-US, ‘bless their heart’ way

The US government tries to pass (or enforce) any meaningful gun legislation, a third of the country stamps their feet and tells ‘NO!’ and the gov’t backs down. Rinse & repeat

No wrong way to take it - my complaints do sound like ye olden days of BT.

I have a pair of Shockz bone conductors and a MiniRig 4, both of which I enjoy quite a bit. I have also run into all of these issues in the past year. My post was mostly meant to counter the statement that Bluetooth is so far ahead of old tech. Sure it’s great, but like any tech, it has fail points

I have a bunch of different wired headphones (an embarrassing number of them) and they just don’t fail. I’ve never had a headphone jack fail on me. The sound is great - no batteries, no connection time, no latency, no compression, literally plug & play. There just isn’t much that can go wrong with them, so for me, BT is a convenience (when I don’t feel like having a cord) but not necessarily an improvement

The key being: for me. Everyone else, if you love BT, keep enjoying it

Reception cuts out of I turn wrong. Headphone batteries are usually flat when I decide I want to listen to something or take a call. Phone wants to pair with every other BT device except the headphones (save for the time it somehow forgets them and I have to dive into the menu and re-pair). Old phone’s BT is starting to get flaky. So much latency no matter what. Sound quality still not there yet.

I do like not having a cord, but literally everything else about bt headphones is a step backwards against simplicity & longevity. I have minidisc equipment from the early oughts that still sounds fantastic on the PortaPros I also got at that time.

Also you kids get off my lawn, apparently

Treez nuts

Can dimly remember what he looks like. Apparently he looks like someone’s creepy uncle who was always doing sleight of hand tricks to wow the little kids

“We heard that song. Aren’t they all just detachable?”

A: Not hate. More bewildered pity.

B: Not about how you vote. That’s up to you.

C: In this case, proudly advertising that you support a garbage person after he’s proven time & again he’s a garbage person says a lot about your morals, or at the very least, your critical thinking prowess.

D: Joke explained; humour removed.

Why does this gem only have 3 upvotes?? Adding one.

I am so close to pulling into these people’s driveway and asking “from whom? Taking America back from…?” just to watch them not want to say it out loud.

Like anything else, the interface can be learned. However, I don’t have the time to give it (and the other FOSS Adobe alts) the attention I need in order to learn them as well as I already know the Adobe software. It feels like doing the same homework a second time for less reward.

Yeah, I’ve dabbled in Inkscape, GIMP, and KdenLive as Adobe alternatives, and I can use them for smaller projects but you’re right: they are clunky. Scribus is actually frustrating after all the time I’ve spent in InDesign.

This will be interesting if allowed to play out. The president* is immune to prosecution, but none of his flunkies are. So he has to do every last thing himself because nobody is gonna risk their neck. I would pay to see that.

I am so ready. I can’t believe it’s been almost two years, but I am gonna enjoy a rewatch between now & October
