I picked up my sunfish sailboat for free off Craigslist. It even came with a trailer. I had to do a little fiberglass work to keep the water on the outside, but considering the price it was well worth it.
Depending on the situation, whatever "that guy" is will be different, but generally I try not to be "that guy". Very rarely "that guy" is a good guy, and then the whole philosophy breaks down, but most of the time that's not the case, and I am happy trying not to be "that guy".
I've been told a lot that I have a great voice and that I should be in the radio many times as an adult. I've never actually considered it because I hate hearing the sound of my own voice, and I assume people are just being nice.
If you had asked me a couple weeks ago, I would have said Unihertz. I loved my tiny little Jelly Star.
Unfortunately, the backlight for the screen died. It is still technically under warranty, but the options they gave me were 1) We'll ship you the part, and you can pay a local shop to put it in. 2) Pay to mail us the phone, and we'll fix it and get it back to you in the next month or two. or 3) Buy a replacement phone at a discount.
It irks me that the only option that won't cost me more money is having them ship me the part and trying to replace it myself.
I still like the little phone, but there is no way in hell I am giving that company any more of my money.
Sorry for the rant. To actually answer the question: I like my Google Phone. I don't love Google per se, but the phone itself works pretty well.
Edit:
Since writing this, I received the replacement screen, and I will say that it was surprisingly easy to take apart and repair. I don't think most people already have the tools to do so, and I still don't think I should be responsible for the repair myself, but I do once again have a functional phone after spending 0 additional dollars. Also, I like the phone just a little bit more because it was substantially easier to take apart than all of the other phone's I've worked on.
During the height of the pandemic, the wife convinced me a few times to just be lazy and order delivery. Every single time I remember eating the food, and thinking "I could have made this better, faster, and cheaper than what I am currently eating".
I have seen their name a lot, and though I think I share similar opinions with them on a lot of things, I find they tend to be more condescending and insulting for my particular preference.
After using Linux regularly for a couple years, I did a Linux From Scratch build just for fun. I found it a really good way to learn all of the key pieces of Linux and understand a little bit better how they all work together.
The way it's setup, you get a choice to just copy paste commands and learn very little, or read the details and learn a bit more.
I never really used it for anything other than education. Keeping it up to date and secure is almost prohibitively complicated, but I learned a lot from the process. I just looked at the project for the first time in a long time. It looks like they now have a section to track security vulnerabilities along with suggested changes to address them. Perhaps it could be viable as a distro, but I have no desire to go through the whole process again to try.
How about "Jesus, put the weights down occasionally and leave some pussy for the rest of us!"?
It acknowledges your effort, but is clearly they are not trying to hit on you.
I've been growing out my beard recently. Similar to women with long hair, maintaining a beard can be a lot of work. Typically, if I see someone else with an epic beard, I try to acknowledge it. Clearly they care about it.
Also, when I see a dad out with a young child alone, if they are trying at all, I will try to acknowledge it. I feel like most dads are in a situation where they are uncertain about what they are doing. Let me know that they are friggin' nailing it.
