sadly my eldest can read now so there were some that I couldn't get even though I wanted them. Specifically the "eat ass" and "fuck more talk less" ones. Some would also arrive much later than others, like the "ew, people" one, so that was out. I'm going for ones that look nice but are also ROTN-approved. I got this one, and this one. I figured if they're nice, she can't in good conscience make me return them or throw them away. Same thinking when I got a picture of her accidentally making a face she described as a "stoned jackrabbit" and then put it on a beautiful 20 oz coffee mug. Now she has to use it because it's a really great mug, but also the joke is on her.
It took a full week but all the leftover turkey has been dealt with. It was eaten plain, then made into a pot pie, roux/okra gumbo, and now lentil curry. I should make turkey more often.
I can’t believe you made it a full week with leftovers. I do 1 day of leftovers and then I can’t eat it anymore.
Well, I picked all the meat off the carcass and made broth with the bones and skin. We did eat turkey straight up for about 3 days but all the other days it appeared in new dishes.
I had to give away a dish of the gumbo to my neighbor today because hubs is not an okra guy and I made like 10c of gumbo. And that shit is solid at room temp. I cannot keep eating all this heavy food.
Today, I took some animal costumes to the dry cleaners, a dog and cat costume if you must know. They are just costumes that the SPCA uses for parades and events. The dry cleaner said he couldn't clean them and I don't know if it's because he actually couldn't clean them or if he thought they were furry sex suits and just didn't want to clean them. His English was shite, so he just kept saying, "no, can't do it." I'm kind leaning towards the sex suit explanation.
I like the giant screen size, and I have a Note 20 Ultra. The motherfucker has no headphone jack, which is infuriating enough, but has a pen. I've used Juice's dick to stir paint with more times than I've used the fucking pen. I have at least 8 sets of headphones that are useless now. Plus I have to keep another fucking thing charged. Plus bluetooth headsets are never 100% in terms of connectivity, sound quality, etc. The most infuriating part of upgrading. I long for modular phones so I can at least hope for a fucking headphone jack. Was there some technological reason for that? I vaguely recall hearing it fucked with some forms of wireless charging, but that sounds like nonsense to me.
Speaking diretly from my ass, the reason was not technological, it was to make sure you now have to go buy a new set of aftermarket headphones. The same reason the POS doesn't come with a real charger, now I'm on the hook to buy at least 2 adapters. Also I find apple had a tendancy to tell their users what they want out of there tech instead listening to what the users actually want from their devices. Hence no more headphone jacks, USB ports etc...nobody wants that but apple.
Yup. You got it. The reason is to reduce complexity. The fewer points of ingress and the fewer components, the cheaper/simpler the construction is. It's easier to waterproof, there's more room for other electronics (or batteries), there's no minimum thickness to accommodate the headphone jack... Why would it necessitate buying a new set of aftermarket headphones, when there are thousands of cheap 3.5mm headphone jack adapters, including one for $9 available directly from Apple? Apple even bundled the adapter, free, for years with the iPhone after they ditched the headphone jack. The flagship Google Pixel phones also don't have a headphone jack, and take the same tact of bundling the headphone adapter. I don't love it, because the 3.5mm jack is so robust and reliable. But the reason isn't forcing you to buy anything new. It's because fewer ports is technically a better phone design.
Yep. What he said. Conspiracy theories abound but it really is a smarter design. I’ve also found sone great wireless headphones from ISO Tunes that have me not missing it at all. Battery life for hours.
Because I'm a stubborn jerk who despises giving money to Apple (yes I know there are cheap 3rd options). NOW CATER TO MY OUTDATED OLD MAN TECHNOLOGY OR GET OFF MY LAWN!!!! Now where's my CD player....
For what it's worth, I wear these a lot now with my iPhone. I initially bought an older pair to use in the shop while listening to podcasts or the BT enabled TV in the corner, but they've gotten better over time to the point that now they are my go-to earphones most of the time. https://isotunes.ca/products/isotunes-pro-aware
When I was little, it wasn't unusual for there to be a pet raccoon that my grandfather found as a pup hanging around. But this gives me the willies. The former fur trapper in me is thinking, "Man, if fur prices were better..."
Can we all just stop with the man cave-themed barber shops? "Hey man, you want a warm Bud Light and watch some sports first thing the morning? Cool, bro. Sports are cool, these guys look great this year. Lifting weights. Pussy." Shut the fuck up and cut my hair.
Man-caved is a term I used to describe a dude in a relationship so battered and unappreciated that all his interests, passions, pursuits and hobbies must be hidden away in a basement like some sort of troll den. The marketing that targets men in general just makes me fucking cringe sometimes. The barbershops that try to look like garages....fucking stop.
