I got a good chuckle out of that. Nice.

It's contagious. I caught the Linux over the weekend. It's the Kubuntu strain of the disease, so I think it's a mild case. But there's always a risk it can spread to full-blown Arch.

At least there is dinner and dancing.

So be it. I should be able to text one handed without stretching my thumb through inhuman effort to reach the "a" key.

I have a Galaxy S24 Plus. My three gripes with it are that it is too big, no headphone jack, and no SD card slot. Really, being too big is the worst. I miss smaller phones. Like the Galaxy S6. My favorite phone was probably either my ZTE Axon 7, which had fantastic front facing stereo speakers and a nice aluminum body, or my HTC Vivid with its horizontal dock.

Well, welcome to Lemmy! I don't think you're going to make a whole lot of friends around here based on your comment history.. but I'm glad for you that you left that crap factory. I've been here for a little over a year now, no regrets.

Oo, a ziploc bag full of spaghettios

Once in their pocket, if they are some kind of madman that doesn't have a dedicated phone pocket and they have a phone with an aluminum frame, that's a recipe for disaster as well.

For an extra 20, you can put Gulikit hall effect joycon sticks in it. And for a few dollars more, there's a spot on the board to solder and mount a haptic feedback motor. Still under $100. You want to get extra crazy, you could fit a small usb wireless adapter inside it. Still trying to figure out how to get stereo sound. But at the point of all those mods, you could get an RG35XX.

Oh man, I really enjoyed Battlefield Earth. And the movie. What turned you off?

Like Frank in the "Frank's Little Beauties" episode. He just needs a song about not diddling kids.

Just go into a high paying field, and move somewhere that won't be affected as badly. The apocalypse is BYOB, so start prepping.

 

I got this when he sold his house to move to an assisted living facility. It's just been sitting in my garage for a couple years. Busy with the kid and all that. Well, we just got a little child trailer, and I didn't want to pull it with my mountain bike so figured it would be a good time to clean this guy up. New tires and tubes. Cleaned and lubed. Waxed. I thought it was trying hard to look like an old Schwinn, so I thought some nice shiny fenders would help out with that.

I have so many memories of going on rides with him, and of him taking it camping. I always thought it was a nice looking bike. I'll have to show him a picture of it all cleaned up next time I see him, I don't think he's ridden it in at least a decade.

Next on the agenda is new brake pads, and some retro lights. Any other suggestions? Maybe a white saddle seat, or different handlebars? I'm pretty sure its only value is sentimental, so the best suggestions are cheap suggestions. Thanks!
