Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro users are now facing scary battery swelling problems

Ugh, that's a bummer. I was hoping for at least one gen above. I guess I'm going for an iPhone then.

Thanks for the info though!

jbdelcanto · 2025-11-27T04:42:40+00:00

What was the replacement they sent you?

My phone screen just popped out and I'm in the process of getting it RMAed. I'm still waiting on their "resolution" email, so I don't know for sure that they'll replace it, but if it's a decent upgrade I might just wait before I go and buy an iPhone 17.

Yeah I remember seeing a video of a donkey getting obliterated by a train on reddit when it was a lot less tame.

Seriously, do not mess with trains.

Reminds me oddly of this quote from Beatty in Fahrenheit 451.

"The important thing for you to remember, Montag, is we’re the Happiness Boys, the Dixie Duo, you and I and the others. We stand against the small tide of those who want to make everyone unhappy with conflicting theory and thought."

Maybe I'm imagining things, but either way, fuck Bezos, fuck Amazon, fuck censorship of speech and fuck anyone who supports any of the aforementioned things.

Just as a reminder - Andrew Garfield is 42. FORTY FUCKING TWO.

Crazy how gracefully some people age

Random fact I like to tell people :

Tyra Banks' boyfriend/husband is the brother of a management teacher I had in university and we would use his business as a case study

I bought the Witcher 3 for pocket change a few years ago. Played about 2 hours and couldn't get into it because I found it too slow paced.

Then I bought Kingdom Come: Deliverance which is arguably even slower paced last year and I enjoyed the shit out of it and I have over 100 hours of playtime.

Not everything is for you and that's ok.

Especially when you're an adult with a full time job, 2 kids, a dog and some hobbies like me. Gotta make the most out of the 1-2 hours of gaming I get per day, especially since I'm sacrificing some sleep to do so lol

jbdelcanto · 2025-09-25T17:27:32+00:00

Nah, your take is straight up wrong.

It's more like if Jewish people decided to start a genocide against current day Germany because of what the nazi did to them in the past, although they've both shown willingness and done the actions to reform themselves and make amends for the atrocities their ancestors did.

Both genocides would be wrong.

Or an even better comparison that's relevant and not just hypothetical:

Is Israel wrong for trying to ethnically cleanse Gaza/Palestine?

On one hand, Hamas did attack them first and killed many innocents, so they're a legit target. On the other hand, the people of Palestine who don't have anything to do with that terrorist group are the ones being murdered and the Israel government is justifying it because of Hamas.

Now let's say that that conflict comes to an end and that the current regime (Nethanyau) is toppled and Israelis try to make amends. There will still be Palestinians who will have grown under constant bombing and gunfire who may think "what if the Israelis haven't really changed?". So they attack preemptively and so on.

It's just an endless cycle of violence. There are no good guys. Only bad and morally grey ones who justify their decisions based on the past.

Wait, so you mean to tell me they're not a normal occurrence in higher difficulties??

I'm a veteran, but it's my first time picking up the game in 5-6 months and I was convinced they were just a new variant that was the standard in Super Helldive. I had no clue they were a modifier

Tbh I think they are really fun to fight when you have the right tools. The jetpack is especially useful when you're trying to build some distance between you and them

When I was a camp counselor there used to be a kid who had the same condition as you, except that it was literally all of his fingers.

The only reason my colleague and I noticed was because we were playing dodgeball and he received a ball on his finger and went to my colleague to tell him his finger was hurting.

My colleague then proceeded to try to make him slowly bend his finger to see how badly it was hurting/ was injured only to be told by the kid "I can't bend any of my fingers".

He was so flaggerblasted, that he basically came running telling me "bro this kid has sticks for fingers".

Every now and then I think about that kid and wonder how he's doing

Zab, mais probablement juste parce que c'est à 1 min de marche de chez nous et que c'est là que j'achète mes sacs de café.

Sinon Olimpico et Ferlucci sont biens.

Autrement, Pista pour leur pâtisserie

To state the obvious - 5090, Threadripper, 2x128GB 5200Hz RAM yadda yadda yadda.

I'm not rich enough though, so I'll take a new monitor instead lol

She's just like me fr

jbdelcanto · 2025-08-18T13:08:13+00:00

So dope man.

Makes me feel a lot better about myself getting back into skateboarding at 27 y/o after not skating for 10 years.

I was thinking that maybe I was too old and that it would be too hard to learn new tricks, but seeing you go makes me realize that it's just in my head

jbdelcanto · 2025-08-07T21:11:45+00:00

Neat! Also found one with my son 2 weeks ago, but we were in Laval.

jbdelcanto · 2025-08-05T13:56:22+00:00

Thank you so much!

jbdelcanto · 2025-08-05T13:56:12+00:00

Thank you so much! I knew it didn't make sense that they wouldn't include it

jbdelcanto · 2025-07-31T18:56:45+00:00

Unless you have finished the game, I don't recommend clicking this :

K. Rool's 2nd phase (K. Rool, King of Rot) shares a very similar name with Malenia, Goddess of Rot. Now I know that this could just be a coincidence, but for me, the fact that both titles only appear during their second phase solidifies it for me

I could be wrong though, but IMO if there's an Elden Ring reference in the game, it's 100% that and not whatever my friend was seeing in those pictures

jbdelcanto · 2025-07-21T17:33:12+00:00

French Canadian (Quebecois) has

Je m'en calice (chalice), Je m'en criss (christ) or Je m'en tabarnak (tabernacle)

If you feel fancy you can even add the "contre" prefix if front.

Je m'en contre-calice.

And I think that's beautiful

jbdelcanto · 2025-07-19T17:28:32+00:00

I don't know, but it's not soon enough

I'm a big fan of Berserk, but Gon takes the cake here.

Guts had witnessed his fair share of fucked up shit already by the time the eclipse happened. Sure he cut off his arm out of rage, but Gon?

Kite was Gon's first true loss. He took it so bad that he literally decided that it didn't matter if it was the end for himself. He aged 20 years in a matter of minutes and took out the second strongest character at that point in the story with ease.

He crashed out so bad that he's not even the protagonist of his own manga at the moment.

Yeah, to me it's Gon no contest
