I'm so sorry! I have the same thing with 85, making me think you must be about 13 years my junior. Minus One is really, really good though. Highly recommended.

Got you beat, I sideswiped the truck next to me pulling out of my parking spot. It was my friend's truck too. He had just passed his road test, was getting his license, and I hit his truck. Sorry, Darcy!

What's your harmless/low-stakes conspiracy theory? in c/[email protected]

That Pac Man isn't eating pellets, he's eating burritos, but because if you look at a burrito face on, it kinda looks round, and the graphics at the time were so limited... Pac Man is secretly shilling Mucho Burrito (or whatever your local Mexican fast food joint of choice is.)

Is maapl.net an implementation of searxng? I use my own searxng, and maapl.net looks similar.

Agree on the Hard Bites! Got them because I was trying gluten free-ness, can't go back to other chips anymore.

I recently tried Green Beaver Castile Soap, and it's the first soap that doesn't cause my skin to itch after showering.

I will see if Carina can be bought here in Alberta.

This is why 98 kinda sucked, and why Shin and Minus One kicked all the butts ever.

I can totally imagine vampires having blood type preferences. in c/[email protected]

My theory: as we age, our cells get worse and worse at dividing, and we get more scar tissue and stuff. This affects taste.Old cow isn't as tasty as calf. Lamb is tastier than mutton. I figure "virgin" is just vampire shorthand for "still young and tasty".

What are some well regarded films produced by Canada? in c/buycanadian

Isn't Humanist Vampire Seeks Consenting Suicidal Person Canadian? That movie was great! The Wrong Guy made me laugh my ass off, back in the day, but I don't know if it'll hold up.

Cantook used to be called Aldiko, and it was literally the first ebook Reader I ever got for Android. I don't know if it's the best, but it opens epubs and lets me set dark mode and use the volume buttons as page turn, and doesn't gum up e-ink with animations, so it's ideal for the Hisense. I don't know why it only has 2/5.

What's the worst you ever hurt yourself as a kid? in c/[email protected]

Climbed a tree, tried to jump to the next tree. Failed. Fortunately, I snagged a wasp nest on the way down. Nothing broken, anaphylaxis. Not breathing sucks. (I lived.)

What's the worst tasting meats you've had that aren't chicken, beef, pork, or lamb? in c/[email protected]
[–] phanto 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I always wanted to try catfish, and there was a restaurant I really like that does everything else really well, so I tried it and... Nah. Tasted like fishy dirt meat. I've had bad duck, too.

Another Small phone (liliputing.com)
 

So, I don't know why they're pushing the AI stuff on this, but it looks like it's about the size of a foldable phone without actually being a folder, and the huge price tag that comes with it. This is a bit tempting to me. I might order the Bluefox NX1 just because it's so dang cheap, though.

This is the first thing I've seen in forever. It looks kind of crap, to be honest, but at least it's not Unihertz. (Two Unihertz phones, two total lack of WiFi connectivity... Twice very shy.) This may replace my Mode 1 Retro ii.

My current phone, ask me anything! (www.notebookcheck.net)
 

I like it so far, although it does have some quirks. I find that I tend to ignore the bottom half and just hold the top bit like I would hold a normal phone. Not super fast, but it goes easily in my pocket, and now I have the nickname "Flip phone".
