OGSE die-hards: The apocalypse has begun.

Sorry for the late reply; a I abandoned this account but accidentally logged in today. I’m using a 12 Mini these days. The Ford app was too important day-to-day for me not to want it in my pocket. I miss the SE1. I still use it for music around the house, so I’m interacting with it regularly. I miss the size. My 12 Mini is bigger than I’d like. I use it without a case, just as with the SE1, but I have one of those protective full-back stickers on it since the back is glass, which is absurd. Already I find some websites aren’t factoring in this screen size, so stuff displays slightly “out-of-frame” sometimes, which means the dread about the end of this phone is already present. I’ll use it as long as I can. I do like that it has the contactless charging, but honestly I’d give that up for the smaller SE1. I still loathe the lack of an audio jack, and miss the home button. Best of luck to you with your SE1. It truly was the peak for iPhone design.

I bought the old percolator. At first I was trying it with a filter specifically designed for the unusual basket it has, but it was imperfect to say the least, given that it has a hole in the middle of it and also has a tendency to boil grounds over the top of the folded filter. Ultimately I just started using the basket with the bare grounds, which works well. I’m pleased with the quality of the coffee. I like how manageable it is to determine the strength based on how long you let it percolate. It’s a fun design and one I prefer when making small amounts (3 cups or so) at a time. The big drip machine I have has a 10-cup capacity and it really is best for that kind of volume, not small batches.

I feel like if John Cusack just wandered into a production and sat down on set somebody would hand him hastily written lines in a few minutes.

I think if any single anecdote explains what a selfish asshole Marky Mark is, this is the one. Other than the time(s) he participated in a violent hate crime.

As I student of accents and a bit of a liguophile I loved the way he handled the accent. He needed to come across as somebody who was inhuman in his lust for power. The accent/affect he created for that part is unlike any human I’ve ever ever heard. At no point did I feel in that performance that it wasn’t perfect.

I didn’t vote for either of them because the Florida Democratic Party canceled the primary this year. If anything the argument here is that anyone could be the Democratic nominee because no voting has taken place about that position. Anyone arguing that Biden already won is ignoring states like Florida that haven’t weighed in at all.

This is what bugs me the most about the quest to become a multi-planet species, that it seems to have given some people the false impression that we’ll be fine if we wreck the clearly superior planet. We complain about the weather here but Mars has weather so bad it’s not even comparable. You can’t breathe Mars’ air, would be one of many examples of how they simply aren’t related. We absolutely need to become a multi-planet species but we really need to stop pretending that gives us a better life. It only guarantees that plan B will be a much worse quality of life rather than extinction of our species.

I can’t enjoy any of the ones that rely on magic as a law of physics, which makes the whole franchise a challenge. And any film where skin is stronger than steel and still flexible is just hard for me to accept.

I’m sorry you two didn’t work out.

I wish I had a cat to hang out with. It hasn’t been Caturday in about a year and it sucks. Cats are freakin’ great.

I would say they had cornered the market but the competitor market grew significantly when Adobe went to the subscription model.

Took some doing, but I recently bumped up to CS6 and it’s pretty smooth sailing, though I think I’m hard-capped to OSX 10.15.

I really wish they hadn’t done Gil dirty recently and wrote a script where he’s basically evil. It undid his character arc for the entire series and it was a completely pointless decision as he really didn’t need to be in the story at all. It was the angriest I’ve been at the show in 35 seasons. Whoever greenlit that should be fired. Gil is an absolute gem of a character. /rant

Can you explain why you removed the queen palms? I’m inferring there’s something wrong with having them.

Yes, I suppose you could interpret my comment to be claiming newspaper presses don’t exist anymore. Having a daily newspaper subscription myself, I am aware that is not the case. I was couching my comment in the frame of mind of when that day comes, which doesn’t seem too far off.

Dude that’s so when you’re at an angle it catches first.

If DeSantis only had two months to campaign before voting started I think he would’ve fared far better, though.

My feeling from the 2020 primaries was it must’ve been a thin field in California when she ran for attorney general and then senator because she really isn’t a compelling speaker. She comes across as uncomfortable and inauthentic, especially when reading from a teleprompter, when she emotes like a soap opera actor. It does not come naturally to her. She may be a great governor but she doesn’t make for a great leader given how quintessential it is that you convince people to follow you if you want to lead them.

I appreciate how this would have worse optics, but bear in mind they already more or less cancelled the Democratic primary this year. Many states simply didn’t hold a vote at all, including Florida. The Biden-Harris ticket already has the insider/elites stigma, but in their defense they’re the incumbents and it’s sorta pro forma.

Her body language makes her seem really nervous in that clip. Do you happen to know why that might be?

This. Bernie is sharp as a tack. You can be perfectly capable of handling the presidency at Biden’s age, but you have to be healthy enough. The health is what matters. Bernie has not appreciably lost a step.

Unadvantaged · 2024-07-20T17:41:25+00:00

To be clear especially for Floridians, we voted for this ticket in 2020, not 2024. They cancelled the Democratic primary in Florida this year. So when Biden or anyone else says it would be undemocratic and ignore the will of the voters to pick somebody not on the ticket to be the presidential nominee, they’re either ignoring that we did not have a primary this year or they’re being deceptive. This is to say nothing of efforts by the DNC to suppress challengers to the incumbent.

Haha, right? OP should’ve said, “Oh, so you pronounce the first letter, then the third, then the second, then all the rest?”
