  • Serious answer to a facetious reply: I’d imagine there has to be some level of software involved if it’s pulsing, even if it’s rudimentary or low level. I also wonder what it does in terms of the bodies demands such as during physically intense activities. I’d guess that it doesn’t which, along with the 4 hour battery life, probably answers why it’s a stop gap and not an alternative at this point. Still awesome though.

  • Fascinating, and awesome for people in need, but a whole new level of battery anxiety.

  • “It’s like chatgpt but it only prints replies on physical paper so it’s a premium experience, and the ai is expressive so it will use delightfully colorful, full page background images for its replies.”

  • Oh man, they are gonna ruin like 5 people’s day with this.

  • Trying to make Donny Jr accountable? That’s a tarrifing.

  • I use the app in the US from time to time. In my area it’s been meh. Some places kind of abuse it by getting rid of “stuff” that isn’t anything they’d properly sell or people would buy. For example one bakery by us throws random things in a pie tin. Other places have somewhat unrealistic pickup times, like nine to eleven pm. It makes sense from the restaurant’s perspective and must work out for someone, but not me.

    But I’ve found a few places that are great and seem to engage with the idea in good faith. I love the idea overall.

  • 2100 - 2500 seems to be the range, and Swappa looks to be trending cheaper than eBay. For example a “mint” 512 sold on swappa for just over 2150, it’s not quite half off, but it’s not far. And for those braving Facebook marketplace I’ve heard they are selling cheaper still… but I wouldn’t go there.

  • Not sure if this was snarky, but you can indeed get used ones at roughly half of retail, not a great sign for apple.

  • Gotta drain the swamp to make room for the cesspool.

  • Jokes on them, we used IVF, they got picked for who knows what reason under a microscope.

    From your most photogenic swimmer.

  • It has “force”, but it’s not very impressive, I can shoot saliva in approximately a 1ft / 30cm arch.

  • This is my time to shine, my body is full of useless, I can:

    • gleek intentionally (saving people a search: it’s causing the salivary glands under your tongue to shoot saliva, people often do it unintentionally when yawning)
    • open my jaw wide enough that it goes out of socket, and twofer I can then move it side to side and produce a loud popping noise
    • bend my thumb down to my wrist
    • cause my heart rate to spike for short periods even when at rest
    • make a three leaf clover with my tongue
    • click my tongue extremely loudly
  • I don’t know, I keep seeing Christopher Walken when I see these pictures of the kid.

  • Nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, we’re all going to die. Come watch TV.

  • I’m pretty sure all insect fragments, rodent droppings, and the like all vanish as soon as they cross the EU border in accordance with food safety regulations. /s

    I did start reading into said EU regulations a bit, but I won’t ruin your day.

  • You’re not going to be encouraged by everything else they allow.

    Though I think (anyone feel free to jump in if I’ve got it wrong) that the coffee limits are not 10% non-coffee matter by weight but rather 10% of beans demonstrating insect damage/infestation/mold. This is not exactly reassuring, but it’s almost certainly far less insects than 10% of your coffee bag’s weight being ground up buggies. You can read about the FDA’s coffee analysis process which is interesting, if somewhat opaque.

  • I’ll have you know roachfee is a sustainable alternative to pure coffee. /s

    More seriously it looks like this is primarily based on anecdotes and was directed at ground coffee vs whole beans.

  • Poe’s law has only gotten more true over the last couple of decades.

  • I don’t know, it looks pretty sturdy to me.
