The best way to get rid of it when it happens is to fill your lungs as much as you can, and then bear down lightly like you are pooping. After that it’s gone.

Happens to me about 3x/yr and always has.

I tried it once, and found it to be intensely lacking in any sort of… well anything.

My brain told me everything was tiny, and I heard a whomp whomp whomp whomp for a few minutes and that was it. It tasted like smoking grass clippings over a campfire, and I went “well its a fun plant to grow but I wont be harvesting it again”

My point is that if they have less energy density, they aren’t a particularity great choice for EVs, as the increased battery size to get the same capacity makes the whole thing much heavier, requiring even more battery to move it.

I guess for like short range vehicles, it might be fine, but at least around here, thats gunna be a pretty tough sell, because everything is spread out.

It can’t really make EVs safer if its not being used for them due to the drawbacks, is all.

I thought sodium batteries had considerably less energy density than conventional? Is that not a problem anymore? If that hasn’t been solved, I don’t see how this helps make EVs safer.

Mine also try to kill me on the stairs. As soon as I start to walk up, they run up a few stairs ahead of me and then stop like assholes. Especially in the dark. Thankfully they don’t hang out on the stairs at other times so I know its going to happen because I hear them.

I’ve started walking up them very slowly, so now they continue the game in the hallways and are guaranteed to get kicked at least once, at which point I say “by now you know I can’t see in the dark, you deserved that.” Rather than rewarding them with apology attention.

Probably this

Definitely the right choice.

Clara is a brunette, I just want to clarify that in case people get confused about which meme. :) (It took me a sec)

Made the mistake of watching the other one recently.

Don’t be like me. There is no sequel.

But also, I’m still mad they left that kid to die in the mineshaft because they couldn’t be bothered with continuity… that would have almost maybe sort of possibly redeemed some of the movie… a tiny bit.

Not really, no, though there are logging operations and they sometimes ruin large swaths of land by planting shit like a whole forest of pine where there used to be a healthy mixed forest.

This area is pretty heavily wooded yet, though. The fields that are here are old, generations back stuff with more natural boundaries, rows of wind-break trees between fields and the like, swampy areas left in field corners. We aren’t really adding new farmland here either, in fact there are incentive programs to reforest former farmland. Often old farmland is used for development.

We do pull stuff out if we are developing the property, sure, but otherwise no, most land is left pretty natural.

That happens in parts of the US that actually have those things, just not in the super flat bits that don’t have anything interesting in them to use as a boundary to begin with. Kinda hard to break things up by rivers or ridges or trees when there aren’t any there naturally. But near me, that stuff is super common as boundaries for fields for exactly the same reason.

Consider: graphics cards pricing.

Shit’s not coming back down to reasonable prices any time soon. At least not without major intervention on the part of governments.

Considering the delay some stuff has, I extend it to roughly a week.

As someone who just updated from 17 to whatever it’s on now due to that security vulnerability (and who used android prior to this piece of shit), they are definitely still getting worse.

Autocorrect got substantially worse between versions, to the point that I can’t get a single message without a misspelled word that it doesn’t even try to fix, a misspelling that it corrects to something completely different, or it corrects the right word to something else (I’ve turned it off entirely, it’s now actively worse than nothing…). The ui is unusable for me without accessibility options to remove transparency to get rid the bright glassy nonsense they did and change it to ugly gray boxes (headaches exacerbated by bright stuff in my face, ugly was my only option and that fucking sucks because it worked -and looked- fine before…). They also haven’t bothered to fix the glitch in night mode where touching the text entry field makes it glow bright gray (speculated they used the light mode effect by accident), a problem which has apparently been around since 18 first dropped in ‘24. Some phones, like mine, have a glass backplate they don’t go out of their way tell you is glass, which shatters if you nick the glass tubes around the camera that sticks out a foot… why so much fucking glass? Is it to kill resale value? I bet it is!

Plus all the stuff you said. Also I don’t believe them that they support user privacy. Why would they when they can pretend to and still get the money?

My friend has always been on iOS and updates it whenever updates are out, and didn’t notice the creep of how bad it was, but slamming from 17 up to current was almost as much of a shock as moving to iOS in the first place, as far as reduced usability goes.

As soon as moto drops a graphene compatible device I’m getting one and never looking back.

I feel very very bad for my medical teams if that the case cuz I resist drugs until they knock me out, to my perception, and am chatty and inquisitive up until I lose memory. I can’t imagine I’m less annoying after if I’m not just out cold already.

They don’t bother trying to lie to me about my drugs tho cuz I’m asking about them. And the equipment. What drugs are you giving me? Oh this is fentanyl? It feels nice, I get why it’s a controlled substance, yeah. What’s that for? What’s that do? Cool, yeah, tell me more about your job. Oh what kind of gas are you giving me? Sorry for being so chatty but thanks for telling me! (Same shit I do fully coherent, but with situationally acceptable drugs and a group of people invested in responding to me, excellent.)

Genuinely fascinating that people learned to read that stuff like language. I mean I guess it was language. Hmm I guess that sort of was the monitor… just really big analogue pixels…

Didn’t use fertile or follow or falter. Fine folly.

Or you could live in a less urban area, specifically one where transplants are less common than people who grew up less than 30 min away. People who never left their home town, whose friend group also never left, still have all their friends from school and don’t need or want more. They don’t really want to be your friend even if you do click. You can meet them out dozens of times and have running jokes when you see each other, but they’ll never go out of their way to make or keep plans.

Everyone who moves to my current area says basically the same thing about how difficult it is to make friends here. People much more commonly get their friends hired with them than make friends with new people who get hired, so even that hasn’t been a super fruitful endeavor. Only people I’ve managed to make lasting friends with have also been from elsewhere and struggled.

That’s not to say people aren’t nice and welcoming, they are, they just aren’t welcoming into their social circles.

Wild, I refuse to go to packed restaurants because my experience will be markedly worse… my favorite time is between 2-4, because everywhere is dead then.

To each their own, I guess.

They are doing exactly that for a sometimes hefty markup. I got something like that with a gift receipt, so ultra lazy, looked up the item and it was $11 cheaper. Like that totally defeats the purpose of going elsewhere.

I reported the seller then returned it.
