It’s deliberately to fuck with AI scrapers, per their bio. At the very least, I can respect the dedication to keeping up the shtick.

I still have two of them in a desk drawer. Both still boot, although the batteries are definitely toast. I have no idea if you can find a new-old-stock battery for one of these that is not likewise also knackered. But fun fact, an S5 will power on and run indefinitely with no battery in it at all if it’s connected to a sufficiently powerful USB power source.

Why pine for the past when you can have one again right now!

What? No takers for a phone that’s stuck on Android Marshmallow?

For the purposes of disposing of a janky battery before it goes off bang and replacing it with a fresh one, that is probably quite sufficient.

I don’t think even power users these days are going to be strutting around hot swapping batteries from the little holster of them they’ve got on their belts like us turbo-nerds were doing in the PDA era. It would be rad to be able to do so, sure, but I think that will wind up just being a side effect models of the next wave of user-replaceable battery phones on some models.

The lever thingy is called the spoon, and in reality it is spring loaded so heavily that there are two rather major caveats with this (trust internet pedantry to come along and ruin everything):

1. There is no way the bird would have the strength be able to pull the pin out, since the spring force exerted on the spoon also wedges it against the pin, which is what keeps the pin from being snagged and pulled out accidentally.

2. If the bird did manage to get the pin out anyway, with the spoon resting on the ground like that the spring force would be sufficient to pop the grenade several inches off the ground when it pinged off and probably yeet that one ounce bird clear into the bushes in the process.

Mountains and mountains of janky spaghetti code VBA macros. That’s the only answer left.

When I was a kid I relied on my bicycle to get around and I was simply too poor to pay anyone to work on it for me. It was all I could do to afford the bike itself in the first place. So with some experimentation and slowly buying (or filching) the tools I learned to do it myself.

I’ve since graduated to motorcycles, but the philosophy is the same.

I’m not broke anymore but that’s not the point. Teaching yourself to be helpless will get you every time. Whenever you say, “I can’t do whatever,” you’ll inevitably prove yourself right. Sometimes you’ll get yourself into a pickle, sure, but more often than not you’ll prevail. And the more you prevail the better you’ll get at it.

I had to check which community I was in just now.

Is this some kind of free range dadaist avant-garde shitposting I’m not hip enough to get, or did you post this in entirely the wrong place?

Firefox also now has “copy clean link” when you right click the url bar which also works great.

I am an avid and exclusive user of Firefox and I never discovered this because it never would have occurred to me in a million years to right click the URL bar for any reason. So I’ll be damned; there it is. (I always just lasso the relevant part myself and hit ctrl + c.)

Ah, see. That’s the neat part…

Speaking as someone who delivered a lot of pizza in a previous life, I can confirm that after being exposed to enough bullshit from customers plus the constant threat of getting jumped and robbed (even from idiots who claimed they were “just joking around”), us delivery drivers absolutely were ready to throw down at any instant, for just about any reason. The counter staff probably less so.

Two dipshits arguing with each other in my lobby (i.e. not arguing with us) wouldn’t be one of them, though. That’s how you can tell this is fake. I’d have just tossed both of them out on their asses and ate whoever’s pizza it was that just got canceled. Deliverator don’t give a fuck what your problem is.

I could write a book on the ways people found out after fucking around in the various restaurants I worked at. The statute of limitations has probably come up by now…

And, you know, beds.

I suspect their legendary refusal to add chairs is simply because nobody wants to give the player models knees.

You can already auto sort in vanilla with a sufficiently byzantine arrangement of hoppers. It’s not very space efficient, but you can indeed do it.

If I still played Minecraft I would probably be more interested in a Terraria style “throw all loot automatically at nearby chests” button than a dedicated sorting block, but given that Microsoft has displayed a dogged insistence on not giving a rat’s ass about what the player base actually wants I would not hold your breath for that one.

I think the problem is they try to make it the same thickness as the sheet metal from the steel bed. If they made it 1/4" thick like the aluminum side step plates on a Bobcat it wouldn’t be a problem and it’d still probably be lighter.

I should point out at this juncture that you can get an airsoft Claymore now, which is slightly less likely to also blow the front wall off of your house the next time those pesky Jehovah’s Witnesses ring your doorbell but likely to be at least still 80%, maybe 85% as hilarious.

He has a point, though, just not articulated as well as it could be. Someone is being a bit cheeky with this image, because those are two different classes of trucks, not just different models.

The one in front I believe is a 2nd gen (1998-2000) Toyota Tacoma which is a classed as a compact pickup. The one in the rear is a Ford F-250 Super Duty which isn’t even meant to be their consumer pickup truck; it’s a very definitely classed as a full sized pickup with its own heavy duty chassis and isn’t even based on the F-150 anymore. Everyone and their dog does indeed drive an F-150 but not as many people are just running around in an F-250 just for the hell of it.

A less disingenuous comparison would be the old Tacoma in the front and a current Tacoma in rear. Trying to compare old and new Super Duties would probably be futile; those have always been huge.

Sounds like they also need to find a new bank, then. Or more people need to file — Once banks get wise of a particular scam, they’ll start taking a more dim view of it.

I have never seen a more clear cut example of a perfect use case for a credit card chargeback.

Fun fact: You can’t dispute part of a charge. If you charge this back and win (you probably will) the hotel loses out on everything, for your entire stay. It also stacks up against them and raises their rates the more they get. An even vaguely concerted effort by people who have been ripped off by this would probably get the hotel in question booted from their credit card processor.

I imagine it’s damn difficult to run a hotel if you can’t accept credit cards. Just saying.
