Mmmm. You’re taking “company spokesperson” at face value there.

Let’s be real though, a meeting of highly paid, highly skilled people came up with that response then it was sanitised through three more filters before reaching our eyes.

€18 euro clown costume with €2 face paint for one. €3 cat in the hat costume from the school (which does costume recycling for money) for the other. They both looked great.

I absolutely pissed myself laughing at the family guy Irish heritage museum skit. I am Irish so your mileage may vary.

The bit with the lady giving birth wrecked me. My stomach hurt.

Honestly this is magnificent. 🤡

Oof. What in ignominious end for our old pal. :(

He did?!?

Temporarily unwealthy.

OnePlus claim it’s not and a quick search does back that up. For the one specific to my phone they move a chunk of the work off the device (reducing heat on the phone) and onto the charger. It’ll still charge normally with any USB charger but it gets much hotter and is much slower compared to the OnePlus “warp” charge.

Yeah, a friend of mine made a similar argument and I hear it. Personally I’m always right beside a fast charger so it’s not an issue for me.

My phone has an option to auto-stop charging at 80% so I use that. I will occasionally charge it to 100% but like maybe once a month. TBH if it had an option to stop at 90% I’d probably use that as a middle ground (my steam deck does and I use 90% with it). I got 5 years out of my last phone and I’m 3 years into the current one and hoping to get many more out of it.

edit:

Personally I charge to about 95% and my phone batteries remain at 98-100% condition after 2 years of everyday use.

That’s a good reference point, cheers. Do you not find it a pain to monitor that though?

For anyone wondering what “10,000 lifetime cycles” means, it’s full charge / discharge to the point that the batteries are at 80% of original capacity so 10,000 is to me an absolutely incredible number.

A typical phone battery is rated for about 500 (you can massively improve this by not charging it beyond 80%).

Sounds like you’re crushing it! Well done and good luck with the Baccalaureate!

Yes, but I felt I was living through a different era. My point was that recently it hasn’t felt that way. Maybe not in 20 years.

I wasn’t replying to OP though. I was replying to someone saying that living through an era makes it harder to discern the changes. I didn’t really agree with that because the 90s felt different from the 80s, even as I lived through them.

I dunno. The 80s had a very particular vibe. When the 90s came along, it just felt different, even as I lived through it.

I think the 2000’s didn’t feel that much different than that 2010’s.

But yeah maybe it’s recency bias.

Came here to recommend Brother printers. They willingly accept non-Brother ink (at least my one does).

My local charity shop has an arse load of DVDs.

I actually was interested in the good strudel recipe but a search (and some GPT) finds no primary source. There is a thread in “AskHistorians” on the other site which has no answers despite a lot of upvotes so it could just be a metaphor.

Solid one though in fairness.

Same. Dating in the modern era looks terrifying.

I think it’s more ignorance, lack of critical thinking and forced ideology more than anything. I think these folks are good willed but lacking all those things (except ignorance, but not in a bad way).

Edit: and I think all three are exploited by the party they vote for.
