One guy’s defense was “I thought she was dead”.

I’ve always done that. If it’s not a contact, I let it go to voicemail. If it was actually important, they leave a message.

This article gives a good view from an average user’s perspective.

The platform is decentralized and has community ran servers.

For most people that’s a complication, not a bonus.

That’s a parallel worlds story. There are many movies and shows about travel through parallel worlds. Sliders is the first that comes to mind.

Our eyes can

They said “the ones I have”, as in multiple. So I was wondering if all of them connect to everything, or each connect to some. That’s because I went on the 8bitdo website and I looked at several categories. The Xbox ones listed only various Xbox models under connectivity, the Bluetooth ones only listed Switch, the 2.4G and wired ones only listed Windows and Android.

The ones I have work on switch, Xbox, pc, android, iOS, etc.

Is there a single controller that I can use on switch, Xbox and pc?

Step 1: don’t play competitive online multi-player games.

In my country unlimited fiber was $6/mo. Imagine the shock when I moved to the US (also in Mountain View initially). Eventually I got AT&T fiber for “just” $40/month, but now I moved to an area outside their coverage and it’s back to Comcast :(

Yeah, they’re more like dirigibles than airplanes. But same as airplanes, people have had a hard time believing that something made of metal can float.

I vaguely remember seeing a video that explained that how it’s usually explained is wrong. That’s what they’re probably referring to. But it wasn’t that we don’t actually know how it works, just that the common simplification is not technically correct (which happens often with these things).

Like a submarine?

I grew up in a country with over 90% Christian population in the 80s and 90s. The way the average person in my country would have answered if asked what religions are there would be: Catholic and Orthodox. Any other Christian denomination was clumped under either “sectarians” or “heretics” (and of course non-Christians were just “pagans”). Nobody in my country considered these American churches to count as actual Christians.

And even though I personally grew up as an atheist and spent every single religion class (yeah, that was a mandatory subject in our schools) debating the existence of God with my teachers, I still cringe and resent seeing these people called “Christians”.

Some people grew up eating that shit and it provides them with a sense of comfort and familiarity.

That’s exactly it. It’s confort food for a lot of Americans. I grew up in a different country, where home cooking was the norm and fast food was considered a huge waste of money. I of course tried it when I got my own money, but there was no reason for it to stick with me. So now fast food places don’t even register as an option for me if I ever find myself needing to eat from outside the house. But I’ve seen my friends in the US talk about fast food, their eyes gleaming talking about the Whatever Burger at Whatever Fast Food and the Whatever Taco at Another Fast Food and always get the Whatever Sauce at Yet Another Fast Food. The same way they talk about Twizzlers or Twinkies or other absolute junk that they would never touch if it didn’t bring them back to their childhood.

At least triple the price in my area. 4x if the schools are good.

I’ve had my Samsung Bar for 5 years now and no issue with it, if that’s worth anything

I only ever browse All->Top 6 hours. I’m not subscribed to any community.

Some great ones were already mentioned. I’ll add Life Is Beautiful (1997).
