Don’t see why this was removed. Though it does go right back to OP’s victim mentality.

Oh that’s cool to hear about. Neat!

Hahaha

Hour of cardio? Maybe 2!😲

Lol, I can appreciate your commitment. We all have our white whales, mine are rear fingerprint and cordless charging. Edit: Also prefer as much plastic as possible. Make it lighter and less likely to break. I have a ceramic phone, it’s pretty (when it’s out of the case) but it’s heavy. So breakage is more likely to happen. I also have a Moto E5. You can throw it across the room.

I’ve had probably 5 times as many USB C port failures as I have micro ports… And I’ve had like 5 phones with micro (which needed charging all the time) and 2 with C. I do think C is better overall, but I don’t believe the durability claims. I already have a nice phone that really can’t be used for much since the C port died, and it’s part of the motherboard. Fortunately it has wireless, so I can use it for a spare device, just not a daily.

Whenever someone says it isn’t dead to them, it tells me they don’t realize most average consumers care about convenience most of all.

They (the average consumer - that is about 98% of them) don’t understand the tech, so have no way of forming an opinion or realizing why they may want a jack.

Or removeable batteries, etc. They’re easily swayed by shiny and seemingly “easy to use”.

Exactly!

“You can’t out run a bad diet”.

Exercise helps, but once you do the math and see how many calories hard exercise consumes vs how easy it is to eat more calories, it becomes very clear.

If you can’t see how you moved them, I can’t help you.

Nice comparisons. Will add that to my explanations.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Oh crap, you already done lost me in the second half there, but I’ll give the link a watch.

Thanks again!

I’ve worked with folks from around the world (including Central and South Americans), some can be touchy about it. Had to tell them “sorry, I, as an American, don’t define these terms. Blame Europeans, not me”.

“US”, “America”, “Americans” all have specific denotations… per EMEA, and hell, even Canadians.

It’s like nicknames - if you have one, you didn’t choose it. It was earned or applied by someone else.

Yawn.

Did you just finish Sophistry 101? Cause that’s all we’re hearing out of you.

I mean you’ve climbed up on the cross, and it looks like you’re even putting the nails in yourself.

Save some wood for Jesus.

Yea, that’s on the asswipe saying that. We get to meet them everywhere.

That description of American Colonists is exactly why there was a rebellion.

The English treated the colonists like second-class citizens, going so far as to try to get Ben Franklin to answer for things like the Tea Party, while he was in England, and a Loyalist.

The simplistic “rebelled over taxation” is just a representation of how the Crown and European Brits viewed and treated the colonists.

Colonists didn’t quit Britain, the Briton’s quit on the Colonists.

Got any more goalposts you’d like to move?

Half? No.

Closer to 98%.

Europeans are just as jingoistic as anyone else. And just as ignorant.

Yep. When my infinity app stopped working a couple days ago I said I’m done.

Now if I want something from reddit I just let my search engine find the post I need. Then save it to OneNote (lots of Android, Pi, Windows stuff)

Let the arseholes bring their ideas into the light, so we know who they are and what they think.

Suppression is just a bad idea, and your naivete is terrifying.
