So it’s just a single app running on a minimal Android implementation, the AI is done on remote servers and it still gets lousy battery life? Sounds like they dropped the ball on design. Nevertheless, no one is going to carry this that doesn’t already have a phone that can do everything the Rabbit does. It has no reason to exist.

I have a closely cropped beard. I grew it in the pandemic just to see if I could. It didn’t look too bad and my wife didn’t object so I kept it. Beats shaving every day.

Makes you wonder how many people got jailed for a crime they didn’t commit before the widespread use of fingerprints and DNA just because they resembled someone else.

Go ahead and laugh, but just wait until the class gets to Beowulf.

8/8 for all his Nazi followers.

Our HP inkjet scanner/copier/printer stopped recognizing cartridges were installed. We replaced it with a Brother laser and it just works.

In college, after working Friday night in the dining hall kitchen, a Pabst 16oz can was my shower beer before heading out to the weekend parties.

How I still got up to work Saturday and Sunday breakfast shift is nothing short of miraculous.

In theory, but then there’s Goop and its ilk.

From the same era when heroin was sold as the non-addictive alternative to morphine. “Truth in advertising” wasn’t a thing then.

Supply exceeded demand, it happens.

I hardly text and your call is going to voice mail. Phone things are not the reason I have a smartphone. I’d be happy with an updated Palm Pilot with connectivity.

One-handed clap.

I don’t anymore. Besides an (unrelated) injury I no longer enjoyed it. Too many distracted drivers and it’s only getting worse.

I hit a deer while riding my motorcycle. I saw it crossing the road from my left, tried to evade it, heard the bang of my fairing hit it, and next thing I knew I was lying on my back looking up at the sky. I ended up with a shattered collarbone, broken ribs, and some road rash on my left side. I have absolutely no memory of falling or sliding at all (and I’m okay with that).

The most likely explanation for why I survived was that I was only going 30 mph (50 kph). That same day another rider wasn’t so lucky. There was a husband and wife in one of the cars behind me that were both EMTs and I got experienced care right away. Plus, I was wearing boots, gloves, a leather jacket, and a full-face helmet. The road rash was from my jeans wearing through during the slide.

I write in cursive with a fountain pen in a Mnemosyne notebook. It’s tantamount to code due to my poor handwriting 😀

Further proof that Reddit is committed to copying every stupid decision that the Muskrat makes.

I dropped in today and there was a huge banner at the top of the page claiming to tell me about how much third-party apps were stealing from Reddit.
