I always sort of read those jokes as illustrative as GLaDOS being a bad person fielding weak material more than like, an earnest expression of the game writer's values. Like, the game itself doesn't present the remarks themselves as funny so much as GLaDOS being rude, snippy, and actively incorrect given that Chell is mega-fit.
The one bottle I bought, I've had since 2010, I think. I have a few other bottles that I've picked up for free (conferences, college housing promo) from ~2012, ~2015, ~2019?
Thanks! Yeah, it looks like it covers T-mobile minus the GHZ/ mmWave bands, which is good for me. A solid consider, especially if they (eventually) drag it over to the states like the Fairphone 5.
Their website doesn't seem to specify which GSM bands it has (simply "More Bands and Band-Combinations for better reception"). I want to know how much of a given provider's spectrum I'd be missing out on trying to sneak one of these to the states.
Yes, I do 20USD/mo, I think, because I've taken up what I've been calling "Secular Tithing" in the last few years, and Wikimedia and its ventures were useful learning and research tools for my undergrad and highschool. Less so during my master's, but that's just how that goes.
A good number of those subreddits became breeding grounds for not-so-subtle racist dogwhistling, so I don't really miss them.
A lot of the others sort of ran through the actually good, viable content before expanding to being less good (/r/YoutubeHaiku basically dropping the 'unscripted' requirement and becoming essentially, short-form skits and streamer clips). I tend to follow people with content I like directly on TikTok and Youtube these days. Aggregators of content tend to go either generic or toxic, I find.
It's a thing, yeah. Disney acquired them in the mid-90s. Pretty reliably top 3 in viewership numbers, just above Fox and Fox News, who round out the top 5.
My home setup is a dual monitor, with the secondary to the side in portrait mode.
I prefer that to the time I tried an ultrawide, partly because it's a lot easier to configure secondary windows when gaming -- game is fullscreen/fullscreen borderless).
Friend's bookclub has been working through The Locked Tomb trilogy which has been fun (both to read and to watch other people encounter).
Outside of that, I've been slowly working my way through The Knot Book (about mathematical topology, not kinky stuff), a book about "The Shambhala guide to Sufism", and "Inside Scientology".
I've been going through library books trying to find something at least somewhat straightforward about the modern Sufis and their beliefs/texts/rituals, but all the books I've encountered so far seem to be way more concerned with the historical lens of "Westerners through the centuries trying to grapple with the concept of Sufism and disagreeing with each other about what it is".
The act of taking down notes helps me remember things (even if I never look at the actual notes, which I rarely do!)
Handwriting has this effect moreso than typing, but typing still helps. I think having to embody the notes in some form forces me to pay attention at all, and having to keep up means I need to summarize or pick the most salient points, which means I must engage with the material further.
I tend to use pen & paper or a tablet PC. If whatever I'm taking notes for is more of a liberal-arts-lecture feel, I'll type (more words needed!), but if there are diagrams or equations involved (STEM time!), I'll handwrite.

The chorus is weirdly popular/easy to teach to cockatiels, so I started mushing them together a couple years ago.
