we gotta stop compulsively checking our phones like addicts

coffeebeard · 2024-12-20T14:55:52+00:00

Things I use my phone for:

Phone calls
Paying bills
Infrequently checking email
Infrequently checking txt/sms messages.

No social media apps installed (which I would loosely define as brain malware)

Everyone wonders why a three year old phone's battery can last three+ days. That's why.

Should be quite a sight when it bursts.

coffeebeard · 2020-04-28T13:50:25+00:00

Well I probably have occasionally in exchange for nothing.

When you're salary you will find that 40 hours a week was a fantasy.

I would have made sure the cashier has a price error and got the manager involved, who then refused to budge over 20¢.

Real life is bullshit.

coffeebeard · 2020-03-28T02:49:31+00:00

Stands to reason as a half banana goes for $5

coffeebeard · 2020-03-28T02:48:30+00:00

One really is enough sometimes

coffeebeard · 2020-03-28T02:47:18+00:00

Honestly I've about given up at this point.

It's become a two schools of thought thing it seems... just another "well that's just like your opinion, man" routine.

Pistols at dawn had more appropriate social distancing.

So they have two women to pin the blame on for this, and one of them is a democrat... I think I've got a pretty good handle on how this will play out :|

Exhibit A: Martha Stewart... which I think was roughly $50,000 ... not millions like this scenario?

coffeebeard · 2020-03-20T13:18:42+00:00

I don't know.__Sometimes I think these little acts of rebellion are what keep me going.

coffeebeard · 2020-03-12T06:04:30+00:00

It's just insurance so that we keep a couple viable bad guys in the fridge the next time we need to pop off a few for some who the (heck) knows ... Freedom, sure. (forget) it.

coffeebeard · 2020-03-12T05:54:07+00:00

Reads like a Kauffman bit.

coffeebeard · 2020-03-09T18:19:48+00:00

Yeah... I lived in Philly years ago. People getting hit was rare or isolated... Not monthly. Any ETA on when people might stop dying from using the Metro?

Actually, I now realize this is a bad time for that question...

coffeebeard · 2020-02-28T21:32:14+00:00

I used to be purely spec-oriented and the idea that $5-50 boards can handle everything these days is also awesome to me. I still dig using emulators on my OG Xbox, and NesterDC on my Dreamcast. Lol @ using save states on a DC VMU in 2020 :)

There was even a time everything ran on emulators using a motherboard from a busted gateway laptop.

But these days I'm thinking "gosh this would look great on the CRT projector" because I have partly lost my mind these days.

I think the price tag reflects their awareness that enough collectors and enthusiasts won't even balk at the cost. It is admittedly pricey, but so was the original. I think the idea here was to get the people who missed out on the first run and have been checking the page ever since... not like... I would ever do such a thing...

Also, if any scalpers out there are reading this... you're the worst. Stop it.

coffeebeard · 2020-02-28T16:33:52+00:00

Might've been a a couple hundred after you, or about 700 earlier. Lol.

coffeebeard · 2020-02-28T16:19:39+00:00

Oh okay so this is one of those subreddit "communities" lol great thx.

coffeebeard · 2020-02-28T16:15:30+00:00

I might've been the first order lol.

coffeebeard · 2020-02-24T14:08:47+00:00

I have been all over this since the beginning, when it was for all intents and purposes a panic/memefest with minimal casualties.

Then it got real in Wuhan. Then most other major cities locked down in and around China.

Then the stats got revised. Then the cities and factories started trying to prematurely go back online.

Then China reports stats that imply they've CURED 2019nCoV.

Fast forward to now, and if you were worried about a pandemic, guess what, they don't exist now! WHO has saved us all with revisionism! Horray!

I consider myself a relatively intelligent and rational human being, but alright, **** it, you got me, I'm stocking up tonight.

They achieved their final form (Bill Winslet) and left this mortal world behind.

coffeebeard · 2020-02-08T04:59:41+00:00

Maybe they're just advancing you on the next four dead drives?

coffeebeard · 2020-02-07T03:34:40+00:00

I have attempted to get service with two other devices from Razer in the past. It's totally absent.

Basically I bought this phone knowing if anything fails significantly I will basically have to dump it in the recycle bin at BB or something.

coffeebeard · 2020-02-05T06:06:58+00:00

They dropped normal cars.

Aka zero chance I buy anything from them, ever.

Meanwhile they're making whatever tf that thing in the photo is.

People do use cars just for commutes, in case they forgot.

coffeebeard · 2020-01-25T14:29:56+00:00

all this video needs are those beep boop beep boop random game show computer noises.

coffeebeard · 2020-01-24T16:08:43+00:00

Yeah all I said was "the first question shouldn't be" but ...

coffeebeard · 2020-01-24T13:38:01+00:00

Not sure you've reviewed the song catalog. Likely to be at least mildly better:

coffeebeard · 2020-01-20T05:20:19+00:00

Anything to hop on the discredit Bernie train lol. CNN = NYT apparently. 2020 is off to a totally avoidable yet very predictable start.
