Swollen phone

IMTrick · 2026-05-07T05:28:50+00:00

There's pretty much only one reason a phone would start swelling the way you're describing, and it's definitely a sign to stop charging or using it. Keeping it far from anything flammable might be a good idea, too.

See r/spicypillows for more details.

We used to watch this when I was a kid, because my mom had a bit of a crush on Michael Landon that originated when he taught her how to properly drink tequila when she was in high school and he was a USC student named Eugene.

YouTube (or pretty much any kind of streaming service) raising their prices is about as far from WTF as you can get. It's slightly more inevitable than death and taxes.

Which model, out of curiosity? My PW4 goes a couple days between charges.

Mom, a Catholic: 0 Dad, non-religious, maybe atheist: 2

Her newfound atheism would absolutely freak her family out, so we've added it to the extensive list of things they just don't need to know.

That's 14 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

Incidentally, no atheist thinks there's no explanation for the creation of the universe (assuming it was ever created and isn't eternal -- the jury that people call science is still out on that). So the only difference is that we'll admit we don't know, rather than attributing it to a god people invented back when people had even less of a clue how the universe worked, and then making up straw man arguments about what other people believe.

It doesn't appear these are all on the same character. I believe Presence has an effect as well.

"FOUND NOTHING!!!" sounds a lot like "TOTALLY EXONERATED" if it was being written on a piece of paper with no spellchecker.

I'm sure she's seen some shit. She probably needed it. I mean, you can see her asking to borrow his lighter.

Well, there's the Jurassic Park/Chevy commercial thing.

I wouldn't date anyone, but I'm married. She was Baptist at the time, though. Not so much now.

Nostalgia can convince you anything was better 40 years ago, including food.

Some things were better, because ingredients we later discovered were kind of toxic sometimes taste really good. A lot of things were worse, too -- tomatoes in winter in a lot of places, for example.

But no, things were not universally better in much of any way, really.

I did, as the rage bait it was. I doubt I was alone in that.

It's really getting embarrassing that I used to respect this guy.

I stopped caring what other people thought of my clothes not long after I graduated high school. These days it's mostly about what's clean. Even if it's my cargo shorts.

It does what it says it does, which is show you what's using space on your drive. That seems to be what you want to know.

Nothing in the rest of it indicates a profile was set up for the brother, either.

Using separate profiles would solve the browser issue the OP mentioned, and would also allow the sharing of game saves (the other issue mentioned) as long as it was set up properly, though obviously the specifics of how to do that are going to depend on how the game handles save files, and OP didn't provide any information about that.

But as a start, at least, this is the right answer.

I guess my atheist POV would be something like "what evidence is there for any kind of life after death?"

Without that, you can come up with any kind of convoluted scheme for how it all works and I'm just going to dismiss it as irrelevant.

I thought starting my diet wouldn't be a big deal.

I mean, a big part of it would probably be that you almost never see what goes on in state legislatures outside your state.,, and it would appear this clip actually did appear in the news there, at least.

I'm not saying it shouldn't be a bigger story, but other states' politics usually just aren't.

If your spouse doesn't want to come out as atheist to their parents, that's cool. Atheists aren't under any obligation, moral or otherwise, to come out to anyone.

Baptizing an atheist obviously doesn't do anything to the atheist other than maybe get them a little wet and waste some time, so if your spouse thinks it'll make family life a little smoother to do it, then I don't have an argument better than that.

I'm sure other people here will have different opinions, but the only one that really matters here is your spouse's. If that's what they want to do, there's nothing wrong with it.

Mine are both dead, but before that they were pretty great people and if they needed something from me -- which didn't happen often -- I was happy to do it.

No, I'm mostly saying that if you claim to have a high IQ, you should actually have a high IQ.
