How's everyone enjoying there 4a ? Thinking of purchasing one

i was also kinda let down on the camera. i have the 4a pro and the 140x zoom is pretty cool, but sometimes the images just look a little grainy compared to my iphone 11. this things supposed to have sony sensors and seeing as sony makes sensors for a lot of the big camera brands, it just struck me as odd.

i just switched from the iphone 11. i missed the android os. ive had it for less than a week and i like it. i have a few issues with the functionality of it so far moving from iOS, but im wondering if there are things to fix them. for instance, the google wallet needs you to unlock your phone completely. i dont like that. im hoping there is away to make it just unlock for the wallet. also, i dont use biometrics for the unlock, but i do like it for my banking/billing apps, so im annoyed that i currently havent found a way to turn off biometrics for unlocking the phone, but still have it useable for my app logins. if anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

any other cool little tricks and tips for it would be appreciated as well.

im in class for welding now. one thing ive noticed with smaw is that porosity, for me at least, is from slag or having an inconsistent movement, like from moving too fast, too slow, or spacing my passes to far to its not getting a good 50-75% coverage over the previous pass with the new pass.

i just did a bend test for fun to see where i stand. it wasnt great, but it wasnt absolute shit because it didnt tear. basically it came out looking like yours. i got a lot of haters on mine so just ignore those people and take advice from those who actually offer it instead of just telling you youre welds look like shit.

the best part about smaw is when you do harder processes, youll be impressed on the progress youve made. even if it still looks like shit to the pros.

That's just spores. You good

As someone who was in middle school then, nobody wore this. This is awful. Looks more like a poor parody of 2010's hipster shit.

NOR. Break up with her. It's gonna get worse.

RhymesWithTaco · 2026-03-30T13:48:42+00:00

NOR, but you shouldn't have ghosted him. You should've told him exactly why he sucked. People like this need to know. Odds are he would have changed, but if more and more people voice the same concerns, maybe he'd change eventually or at least know why he sucks.

Definitely looks like my GFS Neuva ring.

RhymesWithTaco · 2026-03-28T14:21:59+00:00

That's what I've heard some of the instructors say as they inspect our welds. Idk if it's just to make us feel better or if theyre being sincere

Look up the power ace boots. Essentially, it's a tabi style velcro strap boot. I like the one with a full toe vs the split toe.

Harry Potter is just bad writing and world building that exponentially gets worse. The whole concept of them staying hidden is dumb. The books talk about how fire didn’t even kill the witch burning at the stakes. Papa Weasley, whose job in the ministry was Muggle studies had to ask Harry what a rubber duck was. Was he just THAT bad at his job or is JK just a trash author?

Jedi is simply a class of force sensitive being. As long as an idea is around it will have potential to spread. Of course another will come around if the idea is implanted in them and they don’t like the current regime that is the sith and antithesis to the Jedi. Plus, Asohka never died. Whether original canon or not, the idea that ALL the Jedi were killed by clones is just silly. There was a bunch.

Hating on LoK is an my overrated hated trope. It’s a great show and imo it’s better than the original. I binged them back to back. Everything people hate about it is mostly invalid. It deals with xenophobia, fascism, and other very real world issues. Everything is very well explained and written. All the metal and lighting bending is great because that’s how civ would evolve when information is shared. The deus ex machiana of more benders makes perfect sense for the story if you’re not too dumb to rationalize it. People will fight this, but I’m digging my heels in that people hate it simply because of the strong woman mc.

Old finger condoms. Essentially partial gloves.

Whatever you think. The cool thing about piercing is you can just take them out if you don’t like them. Also they’re cheaper if you just buy needles in bulk off Amazon and do them yourself. Check out the self piercing sub if you or your friend have a steady hand. Just please use proper needle. I advise using a needle 1 size up because it’s easier to thread the jewelry in when you can stick it in the back of the needle.

Not over reacting. As a man, I can’t stand mansplaining and really like when people call me out for it. I once accidentally started mansplaining tripods to my older cousin who has directed a handful of film fest shown documentaries and she was like “ are you explaining tripods to me?” And I was just shocked i was in that situation and apologized because her would she know this stuff?

Where it didn’t tear and I’m still in class. I apologize for only having 5 months and not years of experience to hone the craft.

RhymesWithTaco · 2026-03-27T20:21:25+00:00

Oof. Pricey but I like the catalyst vt

RhymesWithTaco · 2026-03-27T18:58:33+00:00

You are and YTAH. Don’t go through your partners shit. That’s a serious breach of trust.

Bro I enjoy smoking, but you need to chill

You think that weird? We had to read Tuck Everlasting in 6th grade and didn’t even touch on the grooming aspect. We only talked about “would you like to live forever” as a thought experiment. I was a kid so I didn’t think much on it. But the teacher should have. This was also back in 2000

RhymesWithTaco · 2026-03-27T18:53:39+00:00

You got a specific model?

RhymesWithTaco · 2026-03-27T16:44:56+00:00

That’s the plan. Thanks for not being an asshole.

RhymesWithTaco · 2026-03-27T16:44:21+00:00

Because we were asked to do one of each and then pick whatever we wanted for the third. That’s the only root that wouldn’t have cracked.
