some_guy@lemmy.sdf.orgto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•My phone showed 0% battery but didn't die2·17 hours agoAny quality phone will / would “under promise and over deliver.” What I mean is, you lie about being at zero charge when you really have one or two or three percent left to give the user time to get to a charger. This is better than turning off because it allows time for circumstances that don’t allow the user to plug into a charger. Having a bit of breathing room means that one can call emergency services while on the way to plug in, for example, rather than being screwed because it’s a ten minute walk home.

Almost none of the people he banged got anything in return. Now, if you bang me… you also won’t get famous.
I don’t use Latex, but I have a ton of O’Reilly books and the Orly made me laugh hard.

I missed so many opportunities because of shyness.
I appreciate people who have a sense of humor about themselves.
Turns out the pope is a lizard person. Boom.

some_guy@lemmy.sdf.orgto politics @lemmy.world•Trump Chickens Out on Tariff Threat After Call With Europe6·2 days agoWhy do they even entertain a call with him? What do we make that they can’t digitally pirate? I know we export agricultural products, but is there anything else? And can they truly not develop their ag to make up for it? I assume corn is the dominant reason to keep talking to us, from my limited understanding of the market.
Just isolate us and be done with it. We’re too toxic to be worth it.
All Yesterdays is exactly this. The first half reimagines dinos from how we traditionally view them (leaning into things like feathers and a t-rex sleeping) and the second half reinterprets contemporary fauna based on their skeletons to demonstrate how wrong we might be about dinos. It’s a great coffee table book.

When I got an IT job, printers were so alien to me because I hadn’t had one in many years. They’re stupid and I hate them, but what are you gonna do.
Of course he is! He’s with Jeebus now.
