I’ve got one like that, but in the military. We got little packets of instant coffee in our rations, I’d just pour that in my mouth and drink some water. I think that’s still technically coffee. Tasted like shit but woke you up, first from the taste and then from the caffeine. Mission accomplished, that’s a good coffee in my book.

Getting down those concentrated bitter coffee crystals with semi cool water (that might be a bit mildewey or plasticky depending on the age of the camelbak you’re drinking from) on a long shitty ruck just feels proper.

I love shitty coffee, I love fancy coffee, I love coffee.

The week of posting vans was a favorite of mine.

UPS does the same thing just with Louisville.

I played Deus Ex, taught me all I need to know about advanced AI agents and data centers.

No, radio is light. They’re all light waves from gamma rays to radio waves. Not visible light, but light nevertheless.

Wi-Fi is already using light to transmit digital data. Shit, radio was transmitting data using binary with Morse code in 1895, also using light waves. Radio requires no direct connection, pairing, account, or apps.

Much like health insurance CEOs getting waxed, destroying flock cameras seems to be one thing almost everyone agrees on.

Android Auto, I assume.

Those labels aren’t for you, they’re for the store, so they don’t have potentially unsafe food on the shelf.

It’s probably an advantage. You want your mouth to hurt so you stop there rather than damaging something more internal like your throat or stomach.

I’ve been saying this for a while, but it’s still relevant. You need to view US politics under the lens of professional wrestling.

Of course they print this, and of course you’re going to hate it. That’s the entire point. These absurd people saying hateful things are the heels, you’re supposed to hate them. It also makes you like the faces even though they’re lackluster. Posting articles like these online in some sense of (lazy) advocacy or “staying informed” simply reinforces the worldview they’re pushing. It’s all propaganda.

“Expensive and exclusive” is part of the brand.

That’s why the MacBook Neo is putting up numbers, because it’s expensive and exclusive. /s

IME Apple phones often end up cheaper over the life of the device because they get updates for 5+ years. Not everyone needs a Pro with maxed out specs. They’re hardly exclusive, either; have you seen how common they are? Every other person in the states has an iPhone. They’re often giving them away with cell phone plans. Getting a previous gen iPhone is probably one of the best values because it’s still fast and will be supported for years to come, but it’s significantly discounted.

Taking up space, without a reason.

Compatibility is the reason.

Because the infamous 2 girls 1 cup video is just a trailer. It was always meant to be free.

This is a game made for CRT/OLED monitors, too. Gotta have those perfect blacks for maximum horror. Amazing how good this game looks and sounds for being the age it is.

You don’t have to outrun any bears. That’s the entire point of the metaphor.

You said there’s no point. I contend there is a point.

The point is to make it slightly less convenient to steal from. This is the purpose of literally all locks. There are no locks that can’t be picked or bypassed. I don’t care if it’s my underwear, pants, shirts, shoes, whatever. They’re mine and I packed them because I want to use them. I’d prefer they’re not stolen, and some of my clothes are valuable, or at least I don’t want to spend the money to replace them.

Maybe someone’s just having a shit day and wants to fuck with luggage to be obnoxious. I’d rather it not be mine, and a lock makes my bag slightly more annoying to fuck with.

Agreed that a lost bag is much more likely than theft. I have an AirTag in my bag to help with that scenario.
