I don’t think those are jawbones. They’re casts of the dogs jaws with the prepared caps test-fitted to each tooth.

Florida voter here. We have closed primaries and I have a registered party affiliation. I don’t receive any political texts, mostly just fake USPS scams.

Anytime I want to use public WiFi that’s behind a captive portal that requires an email, I give them “bezos@amazon.com”

I had an American-made 2001 Honda Civic that didn’t start having significant problems until it was well over 100k miles. Had an American-made 2007 Accord that never had a major issue with 116,000 miles. Now have an American-made 2023 Integra, and I hope it fares the same.

Edit: but our American-made '96 Astro was a total piece of shit.

Coming soon to a Supreme Court near you:

“It is this Court’s opinion that this rule infringes on businesses’ First Amendment right to free speech.”

The car itself should never come with something that will require recurring payments.

Cars already do. Satellite radio has been a thing for decades now. I’ve never used it. Never felt the desire to use it. I haven’t even taken the free trial. I’m less annoyed that it exists, and more annoyed that I’m forever fated to receive unsolicited junk mail for this feature that I have to unceremoniously dump in the recycling bin every couple weeks.

As for the remote start, yeah, it’s kinda bullshit that they’ve removed the more permanent, older version of a feature to replace it with something out of the owners’ control. If anything, it should exist in parallel with the key fob button, not replace it entirely. I’m less concerned about the fact that it’s a subscription than I am about the prospect of that feature dropping support down the road with no recourse for the owner.

As a hobbyist with no production-environment or critical coding projects, Google Gemini has been great for generating a starting point for Arduino projects if I otherwise don’t know how to get going.

Unique art style (it was drawn on black paper), excellent writing, excellent voice acting.

A couple of Gs, an R and an E, an I and an N.

There’s such a reference in a well-known song, Mr. Sandman

Sandman, I’m so alone

Don’t have nobody to call my own

Please turn on your magic beam

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream

Yeah, I also hate back-button hijacking. I suspect some websites do it to artificially force more page views for ad revenue. Try a long-press on the back button to view the history for that browser tab and click on the most recent page you think won’t redirect.

The next generation of cable Internet (DOCSIS 4.0) should be better in this regard, promising symmetric speeds.

Makes specific mention of notably-colored ass and balls, shows no pictures of monkey’s backside…

I wasn’t aware of swipe down. Not sure if it was added later or I just missed it.

It’s still there, and not because my phone is slow - even a brand new Pixel with no apps or Google account has this delay. It takes nearly 2 seconds to go home - long enough to make me question if I hit the home button.

Pixel 6 Pro, in use since release… I don’t have any noticeable delay. Pressing the home button (I have 3-button navigation instead of gestures), the transition from foreground app to Nova home screen I’d estimate to be under 1/4 second. Feels pretty instantaneous.

I landed on Nova back in 2013 because it allowed me to assign secondary app shortcuts to icons on my dock that are accessed by swipe-up gestures. My hotbar has:

• phone, but swipe up for contacts
• messages, but swipe up for Gmail
• music player, but swipe up for YouTube
• Firefox, but swipe up for clock app

Haven’t paid any attention to any newer launchers.

On that note…

Looks like blister packs of medication to me.

Can’t say for sure on this product, but on most of their other products they use some weird brick that plugs straight into a SATA port without an additional power connection. Maybe eMMC, maybe NAND flash, IDK.
