This is the real reason. The cost savings is negligible. But as soon as Apple got rid of the headphone jack, they introduced the AirPods.

Then Google did it, Samsung did it, and every other phone manufacturer followed suit. They all have their own wireless earbuds.

Untitled 8 by Sigur Ros does this sort of thing.

It’s fairly slow towards the beginning, but then they go into the best buildup-drop-buildup-drop-final climax thing I’ve ever heard.

The biggest thing I don’t like about working in the tech industry is that you’re expected to make your job your hobby. If you’re not developing yourself in your free time, you can feel like you’re falling behind. And jobs expect you to keep up with all the monthly trends that come out.

1.2% of the world population owns 49.5% of the wealth. It’s fucked up.

I’m not definitely not saying I might probably not be somewhat endowed with money in a non-rich way.

I have been admiring the Aston Martin DB12 since it came out. Maybe someday I can afford it.

Would be even more of a blunder if people just absolutely refuse to stop calling it Twitter.

The Adventure Zone as well for DnD. Love those guys. They hit my sense of humor so perfectly and Griffin is an excellent story teller.

Not if you live in America.

Only half joking, but you could easily slice yourself on some glass and hit an artery in your arm. Or in the kitchen with a knife slipping. It’s just good to have around because it could save your life.

Most people in military combat end up dying from bleeding caused by an injury. It can happen in two minutes where they lose enough blood to die. A tourniquet will stop that bleeding as long as the injury is in an extremity and can be left on for hours without further damage, giving you enough time to get to a hospital.

My wife and I are the same way. I don’t understand her taste in music and she doesn’t understand mine. I like different types of movies and TV, so we compromise. But nearly all of the important things like political views, childrearing, social views, and life goals match.

Oddly enough, we differ in religious views, but she’s only lightly Methodist and I’m atheist, so it’s not a crazy untenable difference.

If wincing is all that happens before treating others with respect and rationality, then I’d call that a success.

The REAL solution is to build robust public transit so that a decent amount of people don’t even need to own a car and therefore don’t need to worry about going to the DMV.

But like you said, the rich and the corporations come first.

If there’s one service that I’m okay giving my data over for, it’s Google maps.

Without that, we wouldn’t have traffic data or how busy a business is. Crowd sourcing information is the only way to get a service as good as google maps. It’s actually amazing to me that it’s free given all of the satellite and street imaging done.

Where does one find the proper old school leather boots?

Yeah, I should have stayed out of this thread.

I’ll never understand why that is a product. Should have been an experiment that failed the first day.

Who actually buys that to eat it?
