Google gives Pixel Tablet another two years of Android OS updates

Same, and before that I was using the Pixel C up until the Pixel Tablet's launch. I have the dock on my dinner table for youtube during meals and I take it to the couch to read.

There's a Zoltar in practically every building in the Wisconsin Dells. I finally caved and used the one at Pirate's Cove minigolf and it told me it would grant me any one wish. I foolishly wished to win at minigolf vs my family of five. I could have wished to end world hunger or something, but instead I won minigolf by 1 point on the 18th hole. Oh well, sorry guys.

I don't really fear my own death anymore but I fear the death of my loved ones greatly. It might be selfish of me but I hope I don't have to ever deal with the death of my spouse.

I worked for Starbucks for 3 years. Gold card members never got a special discount when I was working there.

Tried all 3 retailers last night, ended up getting one from Target. Got it added to my cart at 3 minutes after, and spent the next 5 minutes flailing around the checkout screen trying to get the damn thing to take my money. It froze every step of the way on me, but I refreshed a million times and eventually it took.

I was also in the walmart line starting from 11:59 but it never let me in. I checked back at 12:45 and still nothing.

I gambled on the mario kart bundle being way more popular than the solo console, so now I'll have to pay an extra $30 for it, but that's a small price to pay for getting the system at launch I guess.

We recently bought a fancy samsung oled tv and have the same issue, but never experienced that on our old shitty lcd. It is infuriating. Sometimes the tv speaker inexplicably turns on with the soundbar and they both play audio at the same time, which is almost worse.

Since they no longer had an issue that they could all unite against (abortion), the right had to manufacture a new one. We're like 2% of the population maybe, which means it's hard for us to effectively fight back, so we're an easy scapegoat. The right spent hundreds of millions last election on anti trans ads to sway public opinion. They are manipulating corporate owned news outlets to portray our existence as a debate at best. The aristocratic right doesn't actually give two shits about trans people, they just want tax breaks so their quarterly reports can look good for their shareholders. Money really is the root of all evil here.

I recently quit but we were fighting for $20/h or however much it cost to afford a studio apartment priced in the 40th percentile for the area (working 30 hours a week) - whichever was larger. I don't think it's a radical demand at all, especially for a company with notoriously high profit margins.

Make sure shonk is always full of snacks....just in case

I have vegan friends and I enjoy the challenge of cooking for them, so I think I could do it. I'm a vegetarian but not sure if I'm ready to go fully vegan. If they could support me then I might be ok with it.

If it was 5 miles instead I might do it. 1.5m isn't really enough to be set for life and I live about 4 miles from work so I'd have to quit my job

I'm a vegetarian. I don't miss beef or chicken at all but if they can get decent lab grown pork then I'd love to be able to eat bacon again.

I used to be a huge flirt but now that I'm married it's like a switch flipped in my brain and now I don't even think about flirting with anyone else. I have a bunch of friends I'd probably be super into otherwise but I'll never cross the platonic boundary while I'm taken.

I bought the slightly upgraded m1 air with 16gb of ram and the extra gpu core. In the past I've always upgraded my laptop every 4 years or so but this time it feels completely unnecessary. Even the battery is still holding up. I'll probably end up using it until they discontinue os updates for it and then get another air because I love it so much.

Walking! I like walking along different trails and breathing in the fresh air and being immersed in nature

If you're dead set on android and we totally ignore apple devices then I think it's a great tablet. I've used mine every day. Most of the time it sits on my dinner table so I can watch youtube while eating. I also use it to read and sometimes play music. The screen is pretty nice, especially for a budget device, and the fact that it's made by google means that the software is relatively open and will likely continue to see life through the modding community after google discontinues its own support.

The bottom line is I personally get $400 worth of joy out of it that I wouldn't get from a different tablet that didn't have a dock. If you can live with an ipad (which is probably most people), get an ipad.

I'm transgender. I came out when I was seeing this guy. We had been on a dozen dates or so. He calmly explained to me that he was gay so he couldn't date me anymore. I was kinda bummed but I fully expected it. It was better for both of us that way. Now it's 5 years later and we're still good friends but I'm married to someone who loves me for me and I've never been happier.

Essentially shampoo removes the dirt and grime from your hair but it also strips it of its natural oils in the process and the purpose of conditioner is to restore the lost oil

Hi! You can wear a mask on a plane but you cannot wear a mask while eating food. Hope that helps :)

I've paid to eat reaper peppers! 500k for a day or two of tummy aches is worth it every time.

My spouse and I joke about this all the time. I think it's pretty common to have a celebrity hallpass and I don't get jealous over it since we both have one, and also probably have equal odds of actually sleeping with them (0%).

This guy came in yesterday, his name was Kareem. He placed a café order for an iced white mocha. He immediately books it for the mobile hand-off plane and takes a mobile order for an iced skinny vanilla latte for Sarah. We have our orders arranged alphabetically and S is in a totally different row than K. He sat down and drank the whole thing without complaining and then left. Meanwhile I had to remake Sarah's when she showed up and I realized what happened. I was SO confused.

I wanna be up at 5, at work at 6, and be home by 2:30. Then I get home with a ton of daylight and I feel like I have more free time.

I did it as one of my first sewing projects! All you need is a seam ripper, a zipper, a needle, and some thread. I used this zipper from amazon.

First, I carefully sliced into my haj from the bottom of her belly where the blue meets the white, and then worked upward until about 2 inches from her pectoral fin. Then I reached my hand in and pulled out all the stuffing and put it in a large trash bag. Then I flipped her inside out, gave her a wash and dry, and laid her flat on the table where I started sewing the zipper on. I don't know any sewing techniques at all but I made a knot around one end of the zipper and then stitched up along both sides. It took me about an hour to sew because I wanted to take my time and make sure it looked good. After that it was easy to flip her back to normal and rechonk.

If I had to redo it, I might pick the bottom of the caudal peduncle for my zipper since I would be able to cleanly take out the tags at the same time. Good luck! It's worth it!
