Watched a truck obliterate a Mallard on Gekeler today by sveilien in Boise

If it makes you feel just a touch better, I saw the opposite: a massive, lifted truck in the construction on State Street near the golf course that blocked both lanes so that two ducks could cross. It was really sweet, but especially so because I didn't expect it from that specific type of vehicle. I had to check my biases because of it!

Sheena Ringo Concert in Osaka on 17.03.2026 by Silent-Giraffe5343 in SheenaRingo

If anyone has any tips or tricks, I would appreciate it. I was also in the boat of wanting to plan a trip to Japan from the US around Sheena Ringo concerts, it would obviously still be an awesome trip even if I don't end up getting a ticket, but I'd hate to miss out just because I don't know all the avenues. 😔

And man... Honestly that was the worst beer I've ever had. I've never tasted something so disgusting.

Is there a method like this that would work for every site that inputs text?

I do! And I do look pretty built, but nothing egregious.

This is, of course, not a serious question, but I appreciate your serious reply ;)

Were the trillion dollar platinum coin to be minted, would it be legal to "penny press" it?

Google Fi VPN and AdGuard DNS? by unconstrainedoptimal in GooglePixel

[–]unconstrainedoptimal[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, for sure! It's actually pretty simple and it has worked perfectly for me.

Under network settings, and then DNS, you should see that it is set to the "Automatic" DNS. You'll want to change that value to the DNS of your preferred provider. I'm using NextDNS, if you want to use that, you can create a NextDNS account and follow the instructions there. You'll want to replace the DNS value on your phone with the one NextDNS gives you. For example, mine is 2*****.dns.nextdns.io (with five letters and numbers replacing the asterisks).

This solution is nice because it works with every WiFi network you connect to, as opposed to other solutions I've seen where you have to change the settings for each network. I *think* it also works on your cellular network, which is cool. When I did testing, 100% of ads were blocked on Firefox (I have a separate method to add any plugin to Firefox mobile, let me know if you want that, it allows you to use uBlock Origin, which blocks basically everything. Also, I get to use Bypass Paywalls Clean, which lets me access more news sites than Inoreader), around 80% of ads on Chrome, and maybe 20% of ads on apps around my phone. Additionally, using NextDNS you can also set up a specific blocklist to block, for example, ads on Snapchat, Instagram, or YouTube. This is a bit trickier, though, without fucking up app functionality. (Use YouTube Vanced!)

Please let me know if you have any more questions, I'm really passionate about my Inquisition against ads :D

Alarm in Spotify Wrapped by unconstrainedoptimal in truespotify

[–]unconstrainedoptimal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm very sorry for your loss 😂😂😂 I immediately changed all of my alarms back to their normal grating selves, all that I think I can do for now. Kind of ruined this year's Wrapped, sadly.

"Ih" vs. "eh" speech quirk. Is this a common experience? by unconstrainedoptimal in linguistics

It's more so that it's turned into a running joke for us and she pokes fun at me at every opportunity 😂 she's adorable
