FYI, this is not an iMessage feature. This feature is part of Apple’s Messages app. iMessage is a service that is also part of their Messages app. It can be turned on/off in Settings just like this filtering feature.

Who Gives a Crap... is the service we subscribe to for toilet paper. Bamboo option: 370 sheets, 3 ply, double length rolls, $44 for 24 or $68 for 48. Delivered on 2, 3, or 4 month intervals. Signed on at the start of the pandemic and have not regretted it.

It’s the texture and mouth feel that people like about jackfruit, but yeah, I also do not care for fruits as meat substitutes. No matter how it tastes, it still digests like fruit. It’s great if that’s what you want, but not if you expect that barbecue not-pork sandwich to get you from lunch to dinner.

I wake up to songs by Rockabye Baby! (That’s their exclamation mark, not mine.) Gentle enough for a lullaby, rocks enough for a wake up song. Their songs are the aloha of the sleep cycle.

To add, Omega-3 means the hens were fed what’s left of the fish after the oil is extracted for fish oil supplements, so don’t bother trying to find vegetarian Omega-3 eggs.

Personal tip: I need a heavy outdoor cable for my electric leaf blower/mulcher, so when it’s done with autumn duty, cable comes inside for winter duty connecting a room heater. Big orange cable isn’t attractive, but it definitely will not burn down the house.

I also read that the peripheral is key, but more precisely, the system takes over when it recognizes the new peripheral. Any prompts are the system asking how to proceed, in this case with download and installation of the software. Any choices you make in that process, such as opening the PowerShell window, are…

That’s a good tip on the beans. So you’d have to add extra beans to truly match the 7-layer, unless you started from the bean burrito, which then puts them closer in price.

It can also be made from the bean burrito, but the Cheesy Bean and Rice is still the cheaper option. Also, if you want to customize and/or go a little cheaper, jalapeño sauce and/or nacho cheese are comparable (and tasty) mouth-feel swaps for sour cream and/or guacamole.

I like the magnet part of MagSafe. Case locks in on its own. Magnetic mounts work automatically. That’s useful, it saves me time. But using a 20w charger to inductively charge my iPhone at 15W? F that. I will spend the extra second on a wired connection to skip that 25% loss.

I know we all want to forget about the Trump era, but this movie was made during the Trump era, and Spicer’s appearance firmly plants us there. The story is driven forward by the idea that a sitting President is dumb enough to drop an open nuke on US soil. It is strongly implied that dummy is Trump, and Spicer seals…

I never called it a Ponzi scheme.

Where do you think all the money in Bitcoin comes from? Bitcoin isn’t stock in a company turning a profit. It’s not a bond that pays interest. There’s no parent feeding money into the pot. All the money in Bitcoin comes from investors in Bitcoin. Anyone cashing out is taking money from newer investments, which can be…

In a ponzi scheme, all the payouts come from other investors. In cryptocurrency, all the payouts come from other investors, but no one person is running the scheme. The scheme is decentralized; every participant is victimizing every other participant.

No need to worry: it definitely will not be over for a long time. However, we only need this first round of vaccines to prevent severe illness. Our initial goal with preventative measures was to “flatten the curve” or keep hospitals from exceeding capacity. That is still the goal. Hospitals cannot run at emergency…

They arranged the items so that all the packaging text faced the camera, except the “plant based” packaging.

No one is forced to be a nurse. If their job requires vaccination, they choose whether they want to keep that job. It’s no different than if the job requires a nursing degree. If you choose not to meet the requirements, get a different job.

You can rent a house in Lanikai, like President Obama used to do. Right on the beach, and it will only cost you *checks listings* $1500-$5000 a day. O_o

I don’t know if the clip had the full context (it’s been pulled), but the quote sounds like a retort to a prior setup. That could have been told something derogatory about his knees, like “you’ll be begging on your dirty knees” or “get on your feet, weak knees.” In that case, the quote reads like “these aren’t…

MagSafe is not an industry standard. Qi is a wireless charging industry standard, and it works on iPhone as it does for for any Qi-compliant device. If you want to use Qi, you can still use Qi. It’s not complicated. It’s only complicated if you make it complicated.
