increases strain on your battery tho

whatever works best! it's just kinda hard to find something plastic that skinny and sharp, and I use tweezers as it's the most efficient (but also the most prone to damage if you make mistakes I guess).

starting with the brush/isopropyl is not a bad idea for cleaning the contacts (and should be the first thing tried if a device isn't charging) but it usually doesn't actually get stuff out of the port. if a port is only charging at a specific angle, it's cause there's debris stuck in there. in my experience it's usually very hard to get with a brush as it's been compacted and cemented over however long you've had the device.

it is frankly impressive how much debris a port can hold!

sharp pair of tweezers or a needle or a toothpicks should be able to help. tons of instructions on how to do it in this thread, but I will add my 2 cents as a phone tech and say that if it's a lightening port, you want to keep your tool as vertically in the middle of the port as possible while scraping horizontally. for USBC, keep your tool as close to the walls as possible while avoiding the center "tab". this is so you don't scrape the contacts. if you do that, you will need a port replacement (usually 80-100$ on most devices). once you scrape as much as you can out. you can use an old toothbrush or whatever works to brush the port clean with some isopropyl to clean any dirt on the contacts, which will come off easily now that it's not being supported but the other debris you cleaned out with the tool.

Futurama and avatar are endlessly rewatchable imo

labels are useless last a certain point. you're you and that's all that matters.

if you absolutely need to pick a label (for a doctor's form or whatever) bi would be what I would choose since what they're really asking there is what genders do you sleep with.

goddam maga infants /s

my profile very clearly said "trans woman" as my gender.

and yes, trans people have to be very careful with dating apps. so do all woman for that matter. but that shouldn't mean we aren't allowed to use them.

I got banned from hinge/tinder for the crime of... being trans.

turns out if enough terfs report your profile as "misrepresenting your identity" you'll just get banned, no questions asked.

maybe their business model. trust me. they'll find a way to monetize the zero click internet too. then it's back to square one

oo I bet that rifle was beautiful. I'd love to have an older hunting rifle, there's something about how they age that makes them gorgeous to me.

I had a savage .270, it was a smaller model they made especially for youth. loved that thing.

losing it at the fact that most evangelical Christian assholes are shocked when the Catholic Pope has different views

you don't get to a place where you're eligible to become pope without some skeletons in your closet

look into a .270. not a small caliber when you're used to a 22 but not massive in the whole scheme of things. they're quite fun at that range you were describing too, and they give you the opportunity to go a lot longer if you ever need/want it.

a .270 was my first hunting rifle, if a scrawny 11 year old could use it I have faith in you :)

being able to be vegan/vegetarian is a privilege. it's expensive as hell for starters. you can eat meat and still want change in the meat industry.

cause the crust on those nuggets are so thick and kind of separate from the meat of the nuggets, you can punch a hole in the side of the nugget for a mouthpiece and pick some of the crust off the top to make a bowl. the taste is off-putting tho

im gen z and I've smoked out of a mcnugget does that count for anything

imagine the spaghetti code that someone had to go through to find that bug

tf-idf will give you the keywords you want to target ads

yeah great addition. I repaired an OLED steam deck a month or two ago and I was blown away by how nice the screen looked compared to my LCD switch (which still looks impressively good for an LCD)
