I love the build quality of my gen 2 XLs but the ANC is garbage.

[meta] Please ban comics by bigoted artists
I preferred the simpler times where it was a simple downvote and move on. Those artists will probably get ratioed anyways and the posts will be sunk.
Witch-Hunt mentality is kinda a lame way to go about things.

Uncircumcised penis owners, did you ever wish you were circumcised?
Oh god no.
Grew up in the US. Heard one girl mention it was gross (she didn’t see mine) and one see it for the first time as was more curious. Never bullied but I also wasn’t swinging my dick out in the open.
Live in Europe now where the script would very much be flipped.
So thankful my parents didn’t mutilate me.

Is everybody just struggling financially right now?
It’s pretty bad at the moment.
Had to sell the helicopter after last quarter’s revenues tanked and fuel prices are out of control. Kinda awkward since the yacht still has a helipad.
Really just hoping people are too into their own yacht to notice..

Your Kindle Can Finally Be Jailbroken Again. [22:00]
Reply in thread
E-readers have much longer battery life since the hardware is tailored to the use case.
Also better to use a device you may already have than chuck it on the e-waste pile and buy something brand new.
This jailbreak is for people who already have a Kindle, don’t think anyone is suggesting to buy one for this…

CD is the GOAT
I also really like the Corridor Crew for VFX content but it’s not the same tier.

Most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. Surviving off creditcards and buy now pay later.
Something tells me you don’t exactly have your finger on the pulse of “average” America.

Just came across Anna’s Archive this week and it’s awesome!
My wife stopped reading a book half way since she’s pregnant and could not get comfortable while holding the book. Five minutes later I had a downloaded copy loaded onto her eReader and she could continue lying down.

AMD's legacy Ryzen 7 5800X3D chips now sell for up to $800, more than a new 9800X3D — AM4 chip costs twice as much as MSRP, as enthusiasts flock to old DDR4 memory
So glad I don’t have money for a new PC for some years anyways 😂

Funded a team of devs to work on it full time.
Also made it shareware.

Where will Europeans flee too?
Europeans would (will?) flee westward, away from Russian aggression.
Even if most of Europe is party to war, there will still be a front line and limited deep strikes. You don’t just have continent wide war with no place to flee to.
If Russia starts dropping nukes then it won’t be a Europe-problem anyways….

Why is socialization so hard in the 2020s?
Hmm, happy to say that I can’t relate.
I’ve always been on the introverted side and with a few social activities per week I’m pretty much maxed out all the time.
Mostly do walk and talk out in the city, maybe stopping somewhere to enjoy a coffee on the terrace. Still making new friends, but now more through kid and dog, rather than school. Keeping in touch and even rekindling some older friendships. There are also a few former colleagues I will meet up with from time to time and additionally my wife’s friends.
Now, in my mid thirties, I’ve even started with a small tabletop gaming gang.
Haven’t been active on social media for nearly 15 years…

Computer Update
Reply in thread
It used to annoy me because it would show me screens after updating asking if I want to enable targeted ads, buy office 365 or send MS my location data.
Used to only happen after installing Windows but then then made it after every update…

Help Fixing my Dishwasher -- It won't drain and is stop on sanitize mode
There are two pumps in a dishwasher: drain and circulation. Each has a capacitor which can be replaced if it blows. In my 25+ year old dishwasher, this is the only thing that breaks from time to time.
Should be less than 10 bucks including shipping.
Edit: sounds like some models use a solenoid with one pump instead. Open the machine and investigate.

Which games made you go into an "addiction phase"?

Vanilla factorio had me at “just one last thing” until dawn numerous times.
I had an old housemate who lost his very lenient student job due to being late and missing work multiple times due to the game.
It’s great :)

Why do Americans pretend they're not broke when most Americans are in debt?
Reply in thread
The average American is living paycheck to paycheck with bad, high interest debt and killer monthly minimums. Many people roll their underwater car loan into a new underwater car loan. The housing market is taking a turn.
People are mostly broke.
