headphone jack, NFC, and microSD

The holy trinity.

I need to move on from my LG (RIP) G6 soon due to battery life and apps becoming unsupported so I’ve been shopping around.

Right now I have a headphone jack, NFC, MicroSD, FM Radio and 4k video recording. I’ll probably have to give up the radio at least if not more to get a well rounded phone.

The G6 came out 7 years ago but it feels like most new phones are a downgrade in comparsion.

I’ve noticed routers in recent years have default passwords like “wristrhino040” printed on the sticker on the bottom. I suspect we’ll see more of that.

Cheap living in blue states exists, ask me how I know.

No, as a person in a magenta county this map tracks.

The state has a problem with alcohol, much of the culture revovles around it.

Bars have so much power here they successfully lobby to keep weed illegal. They’re like a cartel.

The difference is real, Wisconsin has the Tavern League. Powerful group and a big reason why theres no legal weed in Wisconsin.

Meanwhile it’s surrounded by states with legal weed.

Terry summed it up well.

I still have fun with it, plenty of full servers to be found.

I just take 5,000 iu of vitamin D and skip the Sun business most days.

I was happy to see the snow but I don’t think the birds shared that sentiment.

“Where’s the damn bird seed?”

“I know it’s down there somewhere!”

Because idiots are in charge of more things than you’d think.

Having to find an ATM to be able to complete a transaction

Much like cash an ATM isn’t needed by a lot of people as they bank online and use cards. Crypto has all those options as well.

Point is here you either adapt or have to find a new job because old payment processors won’t let you sell your Giraffe bukkake art. It is what it is.

I didn’t “sell it for cash” I paid my VPS hosting bills with it. It’s simple for business to accept crypto these days, couple clicks and they’re set up.

If your business is making NSFW art than you better be willing to adapt.

What potato stays hot for 15 years?

Is it? The ATMs have been all over the place for half a decade at this point.

As for fees it cost me 3 cents to send a $50 Litecoin transaction a few days ago. If I did that with Bitcoin it would have cost me $8 in transaction fees so you’re right there.

Now days there’s a coin for every purpose.

• Bitcoin = gold bars

• Litecoin = mundane transactions

• Monero = digital cash

Crypto has been around for 15 years already. Time flys.

We better adapt soon becuse the village is dead and it isn’t coming back.

I feel like I can still navigate through it because I did the previous levels but the difficulty is definitely higher.

We’re now on level 35 and n00bs are still coming online. A kid or grandma have no shot at defeating the boss AI video or deepfake on this level, hell I don’t even have a great win rate on them.

And you get crucified by them if you bring it up.

I understand battling the pull of phones and tablets with kids is hard but you’re lying to your self if you think it’s going to work out ok if you give in, every other kid has one how bad could it go really?

We all know this yet the ones with kids who need to do something about it don’t, as a result kids are getting dumber by the year.

TV had a limited capacity to mess kids up and it largely didn’t. Youtube and the internet on then other hand are in the vast majority of kids pockets with 0 restrictions.

Reading the first hand reports of what this looks like from /r/teachers will black pill you on the future quicker than any post on climate change or war.

I was a jean sleeper up till my early 20s. Not sure why, it just felt right.

Now I can sleep in gym shorts or jeans but prefer shorts. Anything less than shorts and REM sleep doesn’t happen for me, my body doesn’t like having it’s guard down that much I guess.

Yeah storage is cheap but I last reformated my boot drive in 2017 so my root partition is 20GB and now I have no room for Flatpak. Now I could just resize it but wheres the fun in that.

TL:DR “A 20GB root partition ought to be enough for anybody.”
