I don't know what it would take to replace my iPhone SE 3. I can't come to terms with the losing the home button and the fingerprint scan auth.

Totally agree. Apply can pry my iPhone SE 3 from my cold dead hands. The perfect form factor. Touch ID instead of Face ID. It's the absolute pinnacle of the iPhone models, based on…

I read for about 30-60 minutes in the sun before the UV gets too high. Started this ritual a few years back and I couldn't imagine not doing it now.

You probably want to use Discriminated Unions https://docs.pydantic.dev/latest/concepts/unions/#discrimina...

This response to the point made by the person to whom you're responding is the philosophical equivalent of plugging your ears and going "la la la can't hear you". > In the grand sc…

People will say they've had children to quell existential dread _and_ also claim having children is an unselfish act all in the same breath.

They're called "knockers"; generally the score threshold for a free game or "replay" isn't hard-coded but is instead based on the grand champion score, so depending on location the…

As an avid (but terrible) disc golfer, this gives me an idea...

A package of tofu costs $1.99, which is enough for a meal for 2. How much does meat cost you these days? This trope is so tired.

People suffering from poor health because of a shitty diet is not a uniquely vegan phenomenon. Heart disease kills more people in the US than anything else and a poor diet plays a …

None of those are straw men; I've heard every single one, including one of my favorites "cow overpopulation" from you "cheese goddess" specifically. The same way plenty of farm ani…

If you trace this thread backwards to its root (by essentially responding to every answer with "so what?"), you end up with the question "would it a 'bad thing' if humanity were to…

What? The far left has _never_ liked Musk. He's a billionaire. He's the perfect representation of all they decry. Unless by far-left you really mean neoliberals.

Slashing the throats of 55 billion animals every year after only a fraction of their natural lifespan is a very interesting definition of "thriving".

So ridiculous, in fact, that the very next day after I made the original comment, some psycho shot 10 people on a train in NYC.

As someone who has regularly ridden Amtrak trains the past 15 years, I've actually always been surprised at the lack of passenger possession screening before boarding. Anyone can b…

For sure, speaking for the Navy (though I'm sure the same applies for the other services as well). Cryptologic/electronic/nuclear fields are all known to be cash cows after getting…

There's a saying in the Navy I was told from day 1 at the recruiter's office: Choose your rate, choose your fate. Your choice can be the difference between getting out after 4-6 ye…

"If animals weren't factory farmed they'd just be wild" is a hilarious misrepresentation of the cause and effect of how farmed animals come to be, and I assume you know that and ar…
