That’s a patent, not a copywrite.

Software patents are also terrible, though.

My grandmother died at a relatively young age of lupus complications and she had to end her whole career at 36 because she was so sick. I’m 27, and I am terrified I’m going to end up like her. Her quality of life was absolutely awful for the entire time I knew her. I don’t want that for myself.

Selena Gomez has lupus and Only Murders in the Building, entirely made after her diagnosis, is the best thing she’s done in her career, IMO.

The world has changed. Stay strong, you can do this!

Fallout 4. I realized I was too far with the Brotherhood and the Railroad to get the peaceful ending. So I was trying to decide who to side with, and I kind of stopped playing rather than decide. 😅

Or a PS5. The comparisons between PS5 and PS5 Pro are nearly impossible to notice.

Nebula is awesome.

IT WAS RIGHT THERE ALL ALONG.

About 2.5 years ago I left behind Android and went to the Dark Side. Bought an iPhone. It was frustrating to use at first because changing OS is a pain in the ass, but I got used to it and actually really like it now.

But I still have two big complaints:

There ought to be some kind of icon in the toolbar to show me I have unread notifications. I miss this very much from Android, which would show icons for the apps that have notifications. The Apple Watch solves this by having a notification icon, but I shouldn’t need to buy a separate device for that functionality.

I cannot stand that I can only go back by swiping from the left side of the screen. On Android the swipe in gesture from either left or right side could be set up to be the “back” action. I understand why this is, Android developed with a dedicated back button and thus has an OS-level back command, whereas iOS is highly contextual and you flow through apps and menus differently than Android, and it has no dedicated universal “back,” so swiping in from the left is back and swiping in from the right is forward. It makes using a large screen one-handed unnecessarily difficult.

OnePlus used to have lockscreen gestures. I could turn on or off the flashlight by drawing a V on the screen while it was turned off. Don’t know if they still do this.

Between that and the godawful notification system, I feel like iPhone practically requires the Apple Watch.

I do really like how well the Apple Watch works with the iPhone, but I do kinda wish Apple would just steal notifications, date+time in the drop down, and back gestures from both sides of the screen from Android.

The one on my OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Edition was fantastic. I miss that phone.

Double-press the lock button and the camera opens on android phones (or at least you can configure it that way). Been that way for years.

Yep! That’s why I said, “something I desperately miss from my Android phones.” :)

I’m kinda confused on why this button is helpful. If you open the camera app on iOS, hitting either volume button will take a picture.

Opens the camera faster than going through the lock screen (something I desperately miss from my Android phones), and it’s multifunctional. You can press it with different intensity levels to get different functionality, and it’s touch sensitive so you can use it to make adjustments.

It’s not like, revolutionary. But it looks pretty cool and I’m looking forward to trying it out.

Back Door Sluts 9?‽! Not that one!

Unless you get the (superior) Hebrew National dogs that come in packs of 7.

In which case, to get an even number of buns, he’d have to buy 12 packs of 7 hot dogs and 7 packs of 12 buns, for a total of 84 hot dogs and buns. (Or remove 5 buns from each 12 bun bag.)

Edit: Which means Joey Chestnut could eat his new record of 83 of those dogs in ten minutes and have another left over for Steve Martin!

“Coprime” is the operative qualifier of the original comment.

I did say that 8 and 12 weren’t coprime.

You can’t do what Steve Martin did with coprime amounts of buns and dogs because they can never evenly go into one another. You’ll always have leftovers.

That isn’t true. You can do EXACTLY what he did. If he had packs of 8 hot dogs and 9 buns, removing one bun from each pack would have the same effect. And 8 and 9 are coprime.

And you can also do what I said he could’ve done, that is, get an even number of hot dogs and buns by purchasing different amounts of packages. If someone purchased 9 packs of 8 hot dogs and 8 packs of 9 buns, they would even out.

You can ensure any two coprime integers go into another number evenly by simply making them factors of the other number (in this case, 72).

Edit: fixed a typo

With uhm … Some sort of fake poop?

*insert Anakin looking at Padme meme*

The number of hotdogs in a hotdog pack and the number of hotdog buns in a hotdog bun pack cannot be coprime

Steve Martin agrees!

(Although 8 and 12 aren’t coprime, and he tears open three bags of buns, meaning if he had just bought three packs of hot dogs and two bags of buns he’d be fine.)

GNU Terry Pratchett

I get that they weren’t technically movie stars but it would be so cool to see the real James Hunt and Niki Lauda playing themselves in Rush

I watched that movie before I was really into F1. Daniel Brühl did such a good job as Lauda that the first time I saw Lauda in an interview I was shocked. And Chris Hemsworth did so good as James Hunt that when listening to a recording of Hunt commenting I knew it was Hunt without having to be told.

Those actors did a PHENOMENAL job in that movie. And damn is it a good movie.

Remember how bad it looked?

Technology improves. It won’t always look that bad.

Remember how disrespectful it was?

As I recall his family was on board with the choice. It didn’t seem disrespectful to me, I was excited to see the character Tarkin show up when I hadn’t expected him to.

Maybe we shouldn’t do it again.

Ah yes, as the old adage says, “If at first you don’t succeed, never try again.”
