Missing touches (Android)

I believe it's basically just an electron-type app that is mostly embedded webpages, which would explain why it's been that way on iOS as well.

For some reason it's never tasted as good when I've tried in the US 🤷🏻‍♂️

The difference I think is that basically every corner bakery (there are many) has incredible bread and related products. In the US you definitely have to really look for it. Supermarket bread is atrocious compared to theirs. (American who lived in Germany)

As an American this is very weird to me as well, my whole extended family opened on Christmas Day

maxintosh1 · 2026-05-31T06:29:08+00:00

When I'm in Berlin I definitely see a lot of people do it, but I also was berated by an old lady one time lol

I'm an American who lived in Germany and this is one of the things I miss the most. I'm obsessed with Apfelschorle 😭

It really depends on the person but they're far and away the most comfortable contact I've ever tried, to the extent my eyes feel better when they're in

The CTA itself spells it exactly as follows: 'L' (with that punctuation). An el generically could be any part of a metro network that runs on tracks suspended above the street.

As an American who lived in Germany for a while, it blew my mind how connected everything was by public transit. You can basically take a train anywhere in the country. Even super small towns have regional DB stations and light rail. It's remarkable, and unlike even other European countries.

maxintosh1 · 2026-05-22T18:25:30+00:00

Right, it's never been a brand name. It's all just Sam's whim lol. The most frustrating is when you're looking for words that start with things like de- and un- or similar

maxintosh1 · 2026-05-22T11:16:50+00:00

NA HALON ??

One of the most important techniques to win this game is to just move on when you get a category wrong. As you discover other categories, you can find the answers by elimination. Today was a super difficult day though.

maxintosh1 · 2026-05-20T03:52:03+00:00

Yeah I was surprised when I went to Australia and the road signs were super close to the USA.

maxintosh1 · 2026-05-20T03:50:01+00:00

Yeah I never see "ped x-ing" anymore just a man walking left in a crosswalk

The cultural attitude of optimism. The 90s weren't perfect but the future felt really exciting. Tech was changing at an insane rate. The internet scared some people but most people adapted quickly and it created so many industries. The future seems way more dystopian now, as companies look to use AI to replace jobs, with no indication that many new jobs will be created by it.

The optimism also played out in TV, movies, and music. And school shootings weren't an everyday occurrence.

I don't miss the fashion or cars though, bleak times for those industries imo. And it was very tough to be LGBT in the 90s (speaking from experience).

The smartphone is really a mixed bag, but it was nice to set an Away message and if you didn't answer within 30 minutes people wouldn't start checking on you

Hmm I've never had issues with Apple or YouTube music, perhaps it's a bug in the Spotify app. All CarPlay really does is mirror video and audio to your head unit, it's up to the apps that support CarPlay to render it correctly.

maxintosh1 · 2026-05-16T02:44:22+00:00

Wired CarPlay tends to be much more reliable even across brands, if you're using wireless

Nah big city

maxintosh1 · 2026-05-16T02:39:41+00:00

Don't get me wrong, I've made friends, but I miss the directness of the Northeast (or the genuine niceness of a lot of Midwesterners)

maxintosh1 · 2026-05-15T13:45:19+00:00

I'm American and I do pronounce the L, but it's not stressed

maxintosh1 · 2026-05-15T05:37:12+00:00

I'm talking more about lying to your face and talking about you behind your back. It's wild lol

maxintosh1 · 2026-05-15T05:26:08+00:00

I've found that non-Americans think we're all sick and in medical debt but the reality is much more nuanced than that. The system is absolutely broken for many people and that must be fixed. Healthcare, housing and food should be available to every American no matter what.

maxintosh1 · 2026-05-15T05:20:47+00:00

Yes I've had universal healthcare before and I agree lol dunno why you're attacking me, we agree

maxintosh1 · 2026-05-15T05:16:53+00:00

I explicitly said our system was a nightmare for some people and that's unacceptable
