So I'd get reddit content without having to deal with reddit's nonsense layout and terrible app? That sounds kinda nice actually.

That less ice will mean more drink in the glass.

If the drink is filled to the same level on the glass, then less ice must mean more drink, right?

Unless you fill the drink first, and then add ice, in which case the drinks with ice would have higher water levels then those without ice.

It's a couple factors where I live:

  1. if you aren't used to walking places because you live in a car dependent city and thus drive everywhere, walking feels bad, so people try to minimize it.

  2. parking lots usually lack shade so the asphalt bakes under the hot sun, making the walk feels extra bad after the nice cool car AC.

  3. parking lots and surrounding areas here typically have the bare minimum pedestrian accommodations, so walking is extra unpleasant.

3b) gotta watch out for cars that might hit you, or are belching out smelly exhaust, or radiating heat when you're already sweating. Tolerable at best, and generally not at its best.

Basically, parking lots just suck to be in, so getting the least-sucky spot feels like a celebratory achievement.

But how much of the online world are we?

It varies per game, but my most common use is to replace the thumbstick clicks. I don't like how it feels to click in the thumb sticks, feels like I'm adding extra wear and tear to them.

In first person games, I'll often bind jump, sprint, reload, and melee to the back buttons so I can move and aim while performing those actions.

But the infotainment is where they collect all your data, which is their goal.

As a Christian Universalist, this is basically exactly what I hope for.

No ads are better than any ad, but this one gets points for being creative and not obnoxious.

I grabbed the humble book bundle a while ago, so this will be really useful. Thanks.

Edit: what category are the purple books?

When I had a phone with a jack, I used it daily to listen to podcasts or music during my commute. Now, without a jack, I use a converter daily to listen to podcasts and music during my commute, but can no longer charge my phone and listen at the same time.

As someone who struggled to understand what the fediverse even was, the email analogy was what made it finally click for me.

For me, it was pretty clear that the analogy was only about how different servers could talk to each other, and that the underlying technology wasn't equivalent. I never even considered that people might use the analogy that way until this article.
