I mean, wasn't it mostly spam anyway?

Excellent read, this isn't a post you should just up vote blindly, read it first.

It's how they getcha! That dang "Thinking for themselves!"

Don't forget dusting them with paprika!

Oh, all of that sounds really nice!

Shakshuka, bean burritos, pizza are generally my most common. All are good, just generally have to plan ahead with a few of them.

Think it was something about being bought out by private equity, and being run into the ground. I've loved all of the instant pots I've owned, only have had more than one because I needed a bigger one.

Yeah. It largely reminds me of what reddit used to be a long time ago, a place for interesting stuff and to have a pleasant conversation.

Pretty much. I still occasionally have to go to reddit for some random questions, and the difference in tone is often rather jarring.

Ever asked for extra hot salsa at Chipotle on your burrito? Or eaten far, far too much cheese?

This is honestly one of the unintended benefits of being vegetarian that you can't always say in polite company. Haven't had a bad bm in years (except for self inflicted circumstances).

Facebook is leaking again.

It is, but it's one of the newest in my fleet. My favorite daily was my x230 with a third Gen i7, ran manjaro on it for years. Currently on endeavor sway edition, pretty decent handling of a touchscreen.

Currently running a ThinkPad x380 with a 8th Gen intel quad core and 16gb of ram. A bit old by modern standards, but on Linux it's plenty fast and I probably won't have to upgrade for a decade. And that would only really be if the hardware was either worn out or there is some major upgrade I feel I need. I got it a few years old for $200 (it was a top spec model when new), I can fix most of the problems that might come up with it with used parts for cheap, and when I upgrade I'll probably get another cheap laptop where running Linux won't make it feel slow. From experience, if it were running windows it would begin to feel slower a lot sooner than with Linux, and indefinite security upgrades are not guaranteed.

The magical time of 2017, where devices could have Bluetooth 5 and a headphone jack.

It depends. Had that issue a while back, personally found it was only when I was connected to 2.4 ghz wifi, which is the same frequency as Bluetooth. I haven't really had the issue on my current phone (except in areas where it's really windy), but it does have Bluetooth 5.0 so that might be part of it because it's a massive upgrade from Bluetooth prior.

Worst I've seen personally was an older Kia with most every inch of the vehicle plastered with Trump stuff, either stickers or written on it. It screamed, "Don't talk to me, I probably should be commited but thankfully those pesky mental hospitals have been defunded."

My advice is to generally opt for integrated on mobile, unless you absolutely need them. I did on my last computer (training ml models can often be sped up with Cuda cores), but the trade off was it breaking three times when updating my Nvidia drivers (had to chroot in an manually update, huge pain to deal with), so I specifically went away from Nvidia drivers on my latest laptop.

It's mostly when you're trying to optimize for power on a non standard distro. By default, they're kinda a power hog but you can sorta turn off the gpu when not in use, it's just fininky because Nvidia doesn't want open source drivers that can go that low level. Thankfully don't have to worry about it anymore after getting a non-Nvidia laptop for my latest daily.

Don't forget the inevitable zoomies that preclude the eating of the evil water snake. Seriously, I have to put up my dog every time I wash my car, and she whines the whole time.
