There’s a massive cultural thing in the US about the iPhone being the preferred phone and if you don’t have one it must be because you’re too poor to afford one. Obviously this is a result of marketing and isn’t universal but it is a surprisingly widely held view.

Given that, showing up in a group chat as a lone blue bubble marks you out as the inferior group member (in some people’s eyes). It doesn’t matter so much 1:1 but if there are 10 people the odd one out stands out.

It absolutely discusses phone size - in some detail both in the intro and as part of the reviews.

Yeah, but then they get flexed and you are on at the wrong time. It really is worth the effort to get something set up.

I’ve never had to do this sort of thing in a lab, but I now feel I know exactly what that feels like! You have my sympathy!

Isn’t dust what you get when things disintegrate?

It’s just psychologically nicer. It’s a bit like it being nicer to get on with work when my desk is tidy (not that I tidy it that often)

I do it, because it makes a massive difference to me how tidy my bedroom feels and how welcoming the bed looks at the end of the day. I just have a duvet though, so it’s 10 seconds of pulling on each corner until it’s reasonably even - not going for perfection!

Do not declare your undying love for someone. It puts way too much pressure on, and unless they’re in exactly the same mental place it’s unlikely to go anywhere.

Instead, just ask them if they’d like to go on a date. That obviously communicates that you’re interested in them, and gives a good starting point to build a connection.

The NFL doesn’t adjust, to anything. It’s run by a group of old people, and makes so much money that they can get away with doing what they want.

To me the officiating really harms the product, but they refuse to make any structural changes, like technology or how the refs are paid. But of course, I keep watching - so maybe they’re right?

You can update your version of Fedora through the updater software as well but it’s a very clear separate process that is initiated manually.

Distro version updates bring major updates to key packages - the one you’d notice most would be to Gnome, the desktop environment. There will be other things too that get only bugfix and security updates during the life of that version, and then after a while that version will lose support and you won’t get any updates at all (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/releases/lifecycle/).

Updating is very safe and reliable. I’ve had my Fedora install at work for 3 years, updating periodically and it’s working extremely well.

I think you’re close - someone well travelled is someone who has a broader view of how the world works than just the one country they were brought up in.

That happens when they go to countries and actually experience them. I’ve just been to the Canary Islands for a week - I went airport to hotel, sat beside the pool for a week and then went home again. This was lovely and relaxing (which I needed) but did nothing for expanding my cultural horizons.

Your instructions are completely correct, but it might make more sense to look at the bands of metal rather than the insulator between them.

TRS stands for “Tip, Ring, Sleeve”, referring to the 3 contacts on a TRS jack - one for the left channel, one for right and one for ground. TRRS as you might guess has an extra ring to provide a contact for the microphone as well. So you’re looking for the metal tip, two rings of metal and then the metal sleeve.

Yeah, I think you have to acknowledge it or they’ll feel (at best) incredibly awkward the whole time. Don’t make a big deal of it though - say you’re “sorry you ghosted her and no-one deserves that. If she wants to talk about it then you’re willing, but otherwise won’t mention it again”.

Similarly I lose immersion when I’m going into a corner and I struggle to see the car on my inside. That’s why I want to try VR.

I don’t play with a shifter, just paddles on the wheel (driving F4 in iracing), so I don’t think I’d have any trouble with where the controls are. Maybe the Apple Vision Pro will end up being the best racing headset though and solve your problem.

What can you possibly need more than 100TB of storage for?! Presumably some redundancy but still way more than I can imagine a personal need for.

One component that affects it is that the defender is allowed to compete for the ball. So if they’ve got their head round to see it and are going for it then they’re given more leniency than if they just check someone’s progress while running downfield.

So, roughly (although it IS incredibly subjective): pulling on an arm in a way that prevents a defender getting to the position to catch the ball=bad. Pulling on an arm while you’re both trying to get to an incoming ball=ok.

He’s not unknown - they’ve got multiple years of Trey Lance in practice. We don’t get to see most of that but the 9ers staff do and they’ve decided he’s not good enough to start.

Great article. Similar to “NASA’s booster size is the result of the size of a horse’s ass”: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/4-feet-85-inches-space-shuttle-horses-ass-william-batch-batchelder

I don’t know, Sam Darnold had some positive traits and needed a fresh start. Maybe in Shanahan’s system he’ll look awesome if (when?) Purdy goes down.
