Cut out my mother a few years ago and I'm doing pretty great. No more anxiety at family gatherings or random guilt tripping phone calls. It's amazing the behavior you recognize when you're no longer subject to it.

She was/is very manipulative and I'm hoping that my siblings eventually figure it out too. Two of them are firmly on her side while the other 2 remain neutral. I've explained to them my situation and they're all old enough to do with that information as they will.

There's no chance for reconciliation and I'm ok with that. This is the most I've been at peace in my life, so no regrets.

"Go add free" screw you Amazon

It's even worse than that. The original days of cable were ad free! That was the whole point! You got away from ads on broadcast tv by signing up for cable. That didn't last long, of course, so it's not surprising to see history repeat itself.

I get where you're coming from, and I tried this. The point is to get away from windows, and if the main program I use my computer for lacks essential features that affect my work, then I can't switch.

Honestly, calling people lazy without context just makes you another Linux bro and doesn't help bring people over.

Pebble (watch)

Reply in thread

You have to keep in mind that the tech at the time was pretty revolutionary, but dated now. The e-ink display was legible in the brightest daylight and it had a battery life of 7-10 days depending on the model. I liked the minimalist styling of it, and hope they continue with a future model.

I've always been curious to know how it would have evolved if it hadn't been killed off. A newer version would hopefully take advantage of color e-ink displays and have some of the features current smart watches have. But honestly, they could make the Pebble Steel again with updated parts and I'd buy it in a second.
