It would be lovely if they all would

I’ve never seen any phone tell me why someone is calling, only who

Frankly, I’ve gotten to the end of many phone calls and still not known why someone thought they needed to interrupt my day with a phone call.

I’m glad this is an increasingly common view though tbh, we all got phones in our pockets a few decades ago, and no one really stopped to set the new line of etiquette that: yes, 99% of the time it’s pretty damn rude to think what you want to talk about with someone is more important than anything they could possibly be up to at that moment. Because that’s what cold calling someone without arranging it first really is, when you boil it down

Tbf the kind of cultural fusion cuisine you get when another culture successfully imports another culture’s cuisine, is super interesting to me. I’d say this stands separately from intentional fusion restaurants, this is more something that happens organically as a cuisine is adapted to the ingredients and tastes somewhere away from where it is invented.

The classic examples are Tex-mex and British curries, but every country has a few things like this. Japanese Italian is a pretty cool experience, not least of all because now I think about it there’s some places that are straight up Japanese/Italian cultural fusion, but others are more Japanese/Italian-American, so this thing can go deeper. And don’t get me started on the godlike German/Turkish magic happening on the streets of Berlin

Always been a fan of trying local cuisine when I’ve travelled, but I’ve more recently been trying to add places like the above into the mix, as it’s genuinely always been interesting to me

I more meant now they’re not being made because Micron recently killed the Crucial brand to focus supply towards data center customers

TBF that is a crucial ram stick in the picture, those are rare shinies now

Funny they need such an advanced piece of war defense equipment deployed against their own citizens

The OP: https://www.datapro.net/news/usb-type-d-connector-unveiled.html

Following the overwhelmingly positive response to 180° reversible connectors like USB Type C and Apple’s Lightning, USB Type D’s novel plus-shaped design can correctly be inserted in 4 different orientations, a mere 90 degrees apart.

“With our reversible Type C connector, we allowed users to blindly plug in their devices with minimal frustration. But we wanted to take it a step further. Now with USB Type D, no matter how crazy your night has been, we guarantee that you’ll be able to successfully plug in your phone before passing out.”

Remember when funny people still did April fools? I’ve not seen a good April fools hoax that doesn’t transparently reek of marketing in years

You know what’s really stupid about this

Notepad existed for decades, resisting the general trend of Microsoft software, and it continued to do one thing, and do it well (for the purposes of this argument, let’s not get started on line endings)

If someone wanted to do more than just view text files, there was wordpad, a stripped down word processor, that would have been the perfect application to add support for markdown to.

Except they killed it, because enough people must have realised that the word processor bundled with the OS did everything they needed without having to pay Microsoft a subscription for Word.

So now Microsoft is trying to turn notepad into the rudimentary word processor that people expect to come with their OS, destroying the aspect that made it useful

Idk I don’t seem to count myself as having made it until I’m sat

In my experience there’s an inverse square law where the urge approaches infinity with proximity to the bowl

I got the inspiration from a visit to Turkey many years ago, give it a go, it’s a game changer

Pickled red onions are basically a cheat code

Shove some cumin, sumac, chives, salt, pepper and lemon juice on some and an hour later you’re dealing with 24 carat amazingness

I know you seem to be having a bit of a radish moment

But lemme tell you, you can pretty much pickle anything edible that’s not been particularly processed

If you’re just living a monopickle life with gherkins, you need to step out into the universe outside your door

Any given person’s sandwich game is directly proportional to the selection of tang they have available to them

If anything like me, just tall

Good

Hopefully the rest of the industry takes note too

Yeah ngl I tried this about a decade ago for shits and giggles

Given I wasn’t expecting much, I was pleasantly surprised!

For Americans that aren’t getting it, you know how hard shell tacos are good, but taco bell wraps it in a tortilla sometimes for a bit of decadence?

Toast is good, why doesn’t it also deserve a jacket from time to time?

OTOH, I have better sandwich fillings than just more bread, so I’ve never done it since. Might as well make a club sandwich if I’m having that much bread

I hit this today when I went to check a local restaurant’s Instagram for the menu (like many I’ve come across, they treat Instagram as their website)

Nope. I guess that information is now all gone to me

Between this and Twitter I’m pretty annoyed at how much harder it is to get local information without just physically going to a place compared to 5 years ago. I’m not gonna pretend it used to be perfect, but this is getting spectacularly shitty

Surely that’s a jacemat

By a significant margin when compared to any other of the big-tech companies, buying hardware from Facebook seems like an unfathomably stupid idea.

And this is not me saying hardware from any of the rest of them is a good idea.

You can eat as shitty as you like, you just need to make sure you burn the calories.

You can spend an hour on a bike/running and burn getting close to a thousand calories. Lifting is more like half that, but has the benefit of increasing your metabolism over time

There’s a joke here somewhere about how you should master your boot record
