Don’t know if it’s planned obsolescence or just laziness but all of my Nintendo Switches have at least a little drift and I’ve bought at least two replacement sets of joy-cons AND replaced just the joystick on one unit (PITA and replacements didn’t work 100% so I stopped repairing).

I’ve been successful in replacing built-in batteries in 2 different phones. Granted my families phones are all > 4 years old so maybe it’s gotten much harder lately.

Agree. My jeans have been wearing out at the knees within a couple years and I’m middle-aged so I’m NEVER on my knees for more than a few seconds. Apparently they’re averse to bending. 🤨

Been looking for an appropriate place to post this.

DHL contacted me about unpaid duties. At first I thought it was a scam given that I’ve never had to before and I didn’t recall any recent foreign purchases. Did some digging and the fees are legit. Well… somewhat legit. I should’ve been charged ~33% of the purchase price (flat fees included) for my item but the duties were actually more than the item itself! I asked the seller if they could help correct the “miscalculation” but chances are high I’ll eat the shipping costs (to send it back) and never see the item.

Guns are still cheaper than healthcare.

For the record, fuck Clinton! Release the files!

Maybe it’s time for the crows to have their shot as the dominant species.

Can’t find it but I was almost positive there was a trailer for 9 set to this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQRh_koli9E

TUIs FTW!

Pretty sure PWAs can run in the background.

No, we all face higher deductibles and premiums. Fewer enrollees means a smaller risk pool and fewer dollars in the insurance and health care system as a whole. Prices will have to go up to keep equilibrium as well as more denial and delay of care. Hospitals and providers will probably also close up shop or consolidate to save costs. We’re all getting screwed unless money is simply no object for you.

ICE recently lured someone out of their house by claiming to be a construction worker (dressed up I’m guessing) that hit a parked car. 😮‍💨

Clearly an emoticon/emoji of Iron Man’s chest.

And also keep up the strongman image by being ruthless to “lawbreakers”.

Haven’t proven ANY of these boats have had drugs on them. And if they did this is a good way to fight an endless war, by waiting patiently for the grunts to leave the trench and making no advance and gaining no intel.

I mean anarchy means we’re all having the rich for dinner so yeah, this doesn’t jive.

White, non-hispanics have the lowest rate for Hep B deaths. More eugenics from the CDC.

I mean, yeah, this is the system working as intended: corporations chasing profits and feeling no regrets about burning bridges in the process.

A kickass healthcare plan, a lunch allowance, an office allowance, a good salary, no minimum work hour requirements, and a kickass pension not enough for you Mike?

So AI slop doesn’t get generated, just imagine the visual of the Egyptologist from The Mummy holding a GPU, saying, “What have we done?”, while covered in dickflies.
