It’s a pretty respectful junta that listens to UN criticism. We’ve got plenty of UN members that just laugh it off.

Your neighbors ask that you finish mowing the lawn and go inside already.

It’s starting to look like the movie “Desperado” (or perhaps the entire “El Mariachi” trilogy)

I suppose it was the hustler grindset

Are you certain that they aren’t working it out in the style of “You Got Served”?

Have you considered doing significantly less work while not having a care in the world?

I’m even more ootl. What happened?

Such is the price of greatness.

This was a really valuable interview. I don’t know enough about James Baldwin but I’ve seen a couple of his interviews and I appreciate his perspective and what he has to say.

Honestly, that doesn’t strike me as a ton of money for his wedding. He must not care too much for this wife.

You kept at this way longer and put far more energy into it than it was probably worth. Imagine if instead of bitching about bag bans to anyone online we just, like, looked up from our phone and paid a tiny bit of attention to bringing a bag to the store. Then we wouldn’t have to spend all this time justifying our lack of care.

I appreciate the examples you gave and I hope someone benefits from them. The simple fact is that the person you’ve been going back and forth with will not.

Is this the prequel to Cocaine Bear?

Good question. I was just reading the article about it on The Verge, which mentions:

On the back, you’ll find a 50MP main camera and a 13MP ultrawide camera, while the front has a 32MP hole-punch camera for selfies and video calls. That’s a significant step down from the Fairphone 5, which used 50MP sensors on all three of its cameras.

No mention of camera quality, though, as it’s basically a press release post and not a hands-on or review. I wish this would be available in the US for a fair price.

I suppose it depends how and how much you use it. I would rather pay $100 for software I know I’ll use for years than pay $5/month in perpetuity, especially if I can support a smaller software developer.

My justification was that in the city I was paying something like $150/year for an unlimited pass and saving by cancelling a $120/month unlimited Metrocard. And as I mentioned, it was by far the best bike directions available at the time. Shortly after, Apple released bike navigation on Apple Maps, but I still preferred Bikemap for its routing. I’m still annoyed from missing out on AllTrails when they offered a lifetime license…

It appears Bikemap doesn’t always have the lifetime license available anymore, but they offered it last summer. Maybe they’ll bring it back again? (Apologies for the Facebook link.)

This is a good suggestion. I had used it a few years ago but didn’t love its navigation at that time in New York City. It’s possible that it’s improved, but for NYC routing in particular I wound up getting the lifetime plan for Bikemap. Slick interface, good integration into Apple Health, and based in Austria so probably has a similarly not-horrible privacy stance.
