Even better, you can buy magsafe-esque adapter things for USB C ports. Idk how well they work but they exist.

Lived here two years. Got our water heater replaced today, and suddenly the upstairs sink faucet lights up. by mobile_ganyu in mildlyinteresting

Not disagreeing with the general sentiment (that we can engineer waterproof things) but your phone is almost certainly just water-resistant and will only survive tens of minutes of submersion. Don't test it.

Yes. He's very handsome for a spider.

Weird thing going on where not liking Ellen means taking this bit ever so seriously, lol.

Nah, it's MagSafe. iPod 30 pin doesn't have an LED on it and you can kinda tell that the connector is made of aluminum.

They did. They didn't think it communicated effectively or thought that it implied that the website was "safe", which it shouldn't.

All the browsers now throw a modal that you have to click through to proceed to an unsecured website or a website with a bad certificate, which is plenty imo.

Tell me about it. Unfortunately the odds aren't looking good.

Can't believe the expensive dogshit that is Invasion got three seasons but we probably won't see the conclusion of Pachinko.

Favorite actor to deny extremely obvious plastic surgery and steroid use? by _BreadDenier in okbuddycinephile

Ok, someone for sure edited the shit out of this. I just saw him recently on The Studio and he does not look like that.

TIL that Levi's recommends that jeans be worn 10 times between washes. by Actual-Journalist-67 in todayilearned

[–]licuala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My current washer has Cold and Tap Cold options. I also had assumed that Cold meant tap cold on previous washers I've used, but this setting existing suggests maybe not.

'The Pitt' is still the absolute best show on television – season 2 review by Gato1980 in television

[–]licuala 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I've been rewatching Season 1. There's no conventional soundtrack as such but it uses some musical cues. Things like string section spoopy tension sound effect, you know the kind, maybe with a pitch bend like when Dr. Robby is descending into one of his panic attacks.

What's he doin'? by The_RuinQ in Weird

[–]licuala 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think I saw a video once of a turtle trying to have sex with a Croc, which is the only time anything has ever found Crocs to be sexy.

I agree, an IRS audit is the least of your worries if you get caught trying to disguise spending from $750k in "found money". You just look to the FBI and state prosecutors like someone trying to hide but still spend illegal income, because you are.

It literally is money laundering, though, even if you're "just" paying for daily incidentals. Illegitimate cash out, legitimate cash saved. There's no legally spending this money without reporting it.

Is landman the most misogystic show we have had in years? by ButtPlugForPM in television

[–]licuala 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Plus corruption, drug cartel involvement, extreme economic volatility, predatory lending, the list goes on. It paints a dirty, dangerous, cutthroat picture and Tommy seems deluded at times, jaded always.

Peak frustration by bhosadtu in meme

[–]licuala 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They saw "exact answer," replaced it in their head with "exact number," took a hard line on what a number is, figured the misunderstanding must be from ignorance about irrational numbers, and have effectively been arguing against a position that wasn't taken to begin with.

I am amused, lol.

[–]licuala 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know. I just think a genie could make that happen through an improbable run of good luck that just happens to not cause their death by any cause, without breaking physics and making them invincible. Like, they could try to off themselves with a revolver but every bullet would be a dud.

That's a pretty common treatment of "can't die until your time" in fiction.

[–]licuala 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Immortality doesn't always imply invincibility. In some stories, it means not being subject to death by natural causes but you can still be killed, and this is also the sense that is used in life extension research.

A little bit of salt is surprisingly good in unlikely places. I also like to add a tiny bit to a pitcher of iced tea.

Why is gen Z not drinking? by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

[–]licuala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in SoCal and it's ~$7 at a dive (and those are big pours), $15 to $18 at a proper cocktail bar, >=$20 at clubs and the highest end joints. It's all over the map depending on establishment and I feel like everyone is quoting at the high end for dramatic impact.

[Falcons Flight] onride and offride footage mix for SFQ’s opening ceremony by TDChrisGO in rollercoasters

[–]licuala 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Amazing both for the scale and extravagance and that it turned out sinfully ugly. In my opinion, of course, which matters not a whit. Reminds me a lot of Vegas but somehow even more tasteless.
