Exactly. My phone is for texting and calling out. Receiving calls is an unfortunate bug.

Perfect score. Social obligations fulfilled: 100%. Words spoken: 0. Emotional energy cost: 40%.

I keep expecting Jeff Bezos to get angry at the portrayal of Lex Luthor to top it off.

While you can setup a second profile to put the Google services into, I don't recommend it.

The version of Google Services on GrapheneOS thinks it has root, but it does not.

So there's no dramatic need to setup a second profile, unless you want it for other reasons.

I personally think the second profile feature is one of the things people think they want/need from GrapheneOS, but really are happier without.

(Sure it's safer, but GrapheneOS is already so much better than other mobile OSes - and I hate to see someone quit GrapheneOS just because they didn't like the optional profiles.)

An exception I have seen is for apps mandated for a job. I'm happy to bury that stuff deep.

nobody just breaks out in song when they get dumped, for example.

You're one of today's lucky 10,000!

That amused me, too.

I think it plays fine for the intended audience, though.

For the folks looking into Anubis, that line plays well - because hosting costs are driven up by the kinds of spam bot visits that Anubis slows down.

Thank you for sharing this. Patman was a delight. He made some of the best "History of" videos for classic games.

RIP Patman QC. He will be missed.

THANK YOU. I AM PLEASED TO JOIN THIS DISCUSSION AMONG FELLOW NON-ROBOTS.

The rule of cool helps with honesty too.

My team knew well in advance that we would be short-staffed on the day the Switch 2 released.

" ((Candidate who Lost)) ((Previous Election Year))" bumper stickers after it has been a few years.

It feels needlessly divisive.

Although I saw a "Bob Dole '96" in the wild recently, and I kind of grudgingly admire that level of procrastination.

"We could be in serious legal trouble."

"Don't worry. My billions will protect me."

Tbf, the tsp by default I believe throws your money in a G fund which is basically bonds iirc.

Most funds now default to a "target retirement date" type of fund that correctly offers stocks early and moves into bonds later.

If you want my advice, talk to them constantly as if you are the narrator, and smile and make eye contact at every opportunity.

This is great advice.

I've always done this, and my kids all started talking surprisingly early.

But my motive is just that it calms them.

Some baby fussiness comes from insecurity, and I find that a running narration makes them more relaxed about being set down and returned to - that kind of thing.

Basically they get the same comfort from my narration as I get from leaving the TV running when I'm alone in the house.

I don't know (or worry about) if it really makes any serious long term difference - but it was occasionally convenient as heck when they could tell me what they wanted a bit earlier than I (or anyone) expected them to.

With my last kid, I felt more brave and also mixed in some singing, and think they are more musically inclined because of it.

You've shared the real life hack.

My kid was born with a love for the opening theme to "Star Trek: Enterprise", because we were bringe watching it while the kid was in the womb.

Playing "Faith of the Heart" came in handy when the kid started teething.

I have good news!?

...This isn't a particularly gendered problem.

a) I would not be driving a car with my child in it if I was so tired that I would forget I had a child. The fuck?

I hope you're thankful for a lifestyle where you have that option. We should all strive to build a world where everyone does.

Pen and paper is great for whenever I can't get my hands on a chisel and rock wall.

This is the way.

I'm sorry you went through that. I'm glad you got your trapper keeper, though. Your mom made the right call.
