the connection felt loose and it would charge unreliably, but changing out the cable has completely removed all issues.

Isn't that because the attachments are placed on the cable side, purposefully, because changing cables is easier than replacing parts of the phone/device? I think that's one of the more noticeable issues with the iIdiot lightning chargers: Once the grabbing parts of the port are borked in the device, no cable ever stays in.

The issue with that is the old cables had the same problem, they just were less noticeable because you didn't expect them to do what the USB-C is capable of. I had some USB micro cables that would pass power only, and it drove me nuts if they ended up near my computer.

If the edge crust isn't as much a pleasure to eat as the center of the pizza, you're doing pizza wrong. There's a local place that brushes an herb mix on, and I swear to god they could sell the edge crust as a bread appetizer and make more money than the pizzas. It takes you right to the edge, I swear to god.

In the same breath, I hate when people tell you they want to meet in the morning, or call you, and then wait until 1130 hours. Fuck that shit. We need terms to describe portions of the morning just like we do for afternoon, evening, and night.

I do get my evil grins on when they do that to me and then I call them at 0530 hours the next time we're scheduled for 'morning.'

No, it's morphed into one of those pearls of wisdom that people pass down and truly believe. They all have their 'true story' of blipping the throttle and "suddenly the car that was moving over to smush me stopped!!!!!!!!" The assholes who know it isn't true can be discerned from the true believers by the humor they find in their tales of blasting people with sounds.

Legitimate? Sure. As good as other options? Hell nah, brother. I've got too many other delicious options that take up cheese space to waste on pineapple.

Spoiling milk is all about the ratio of the fat. It's why cream is used in alcoholic drinks. The higher fat content of the cream means it can take more without spoiling. Try yours with skim milk vs. whole and taste the difference.

I definitely got the cornucopia from the saccharine depictions of 'the origin' of thanksgivings. I always thought the logo came from those.

The best thing about the fixed gear was the quick and sudden slides you can do with the rear wheel.

But most people would say that single speed has none of the disadvantages of fixed.

The incessant pedaling even as you're slowing or cruising can be horrible though. The single speed definitely fixes that.

I think I'd prefer my preferred hand in the place of high precision, which is changing the gears... and especially the very precise twist of the volume knob if I'm messing with the radio. Honestly, the preferred hand is mostly training anyway, so by the time you learn to drive a manual without grinding your gears every other shift, you shouldn't have an issue steering with your 'off' hand.

got a shower

That made me shudder. Are you a dog and being showered by someone else, or was it a gift granted to you for hard work that day? ;)

Them's just the facts, ain't they? Though I usually say chicken strips because they're often not one-bite sized.

I have the other issue. I get up early and can't go back to bed because I feel the call of the void. High rise life, yo.

I just got bit in the ass by bitlocker when my laptop motherboard died. I had to do the unsafe bootloader hack to get back into the drive.

Fucking poe's law. I thought you were serious until the last sentence. Even the idea of being made whole isn't something beyond what some fuckers would claim.

Professor=overworked and pushed to do the coursework more quickly so they can get everything; research, classwork, grant writing; done in the limited time they have. Not bringing in enough grant money or publishing enough well liked research often gets you fired, you know.

Parent=overworked and pushed to get to work faster so they're not late. Being late often get you fired, you know.

Both are being pushed into actions that are detrimental to society. Speeding creates a slew of cascading issues, starting with small things like increased frustrations in all drivers and building to large things like much more serious wrecks. It's a terrible thing. Giving up control of the curriculum and passing the buck to pearson (in the original OP's case) to teach students, make tests, grade coursework (that can no longer be anywhere near as inventive or applicable because it has to be in some format that a computer can grade), etc. is a terrible thing.

DNS over https

Wait, can you explain that? I think I have it toggled on.

You got to do it in a dennys? Our post performance was always at some random bar that was still open after we closed up. Greasy fried cheeses and stage makeup is a wonderful combination for falling in love.

Efficient in terms of miles per gallon or liters/100km, sure, but unfortunately they are also heavier polluters. I obviously don't want to give mine up, but the pollution means I would switch to electric as soon as it meets my needs and is affordable.

Where can I find these submissive puppy boys? It doesn't seem like it should be hard to convince one of them to wear one of those rape prevention reverse condoms, just in case...
