A Hemi engine has a hemispherical dome, which was a new design that increased efficiency and power output over others, in 1901.
Chrysler popularized the term for their engines in the 1950's, and the name has a positive image in some circles because Chrysler-built Hemi engines were used in WW2 fighter planes and NASCAR racecars.

It's not mundane at all, though.
Saying it implies that it needs to be said, as if in mainstream opinion it was not OK to be white.
It pretends there's widespread racism against white people.

So exactly what far right racists believe.

I've pretty much stopped buying stuff online, except from small brick-and-mortar stores who have their own independent online store.

Hey, I want free money, too.

This reads like a news story at the beginning of a disaster movie.

A Samsung Galaxy S+ from 2011 in mint condition, with a new battery. I'm now installing the latest custom ROM that will run on it and make it my daily driver.

Except the church and pastor being talked about was protestant.

My wife and I have a Christmas tradition (in Germany).
We go swimming in a local river or lake at some point between Christmas eve and new year.
The last 4 years it was always warmer than 10°C during that time. 3 years ago, it was 18°C, which was completely bizarre. We were lying in the sun to dry after our bath in late December.

Holy shit, where do you live? Sorry to hear about your missed chance to celebrate with your great-grandma.

Surprisingly, Christmas wasn't ruined this year.
My mother did try, though.
When my brother in law presented the baked pumpkins he had made, she told a "funny" anecdote about how everyone looks forward to pumpkin season in autumn but is sick of pumpkins by Christmas.
When my sister in law told about their church visit and my MIL chimed in about how nice the pastor at that church is, my mother brought up the Catholic church child sexual abuse scandal.
Then she started to rant about Trump. Granted, she despises Trump, but we're having a Christmas dinner in the middle of Germany, we don't want to hear about all he's done which we can do nothing about.

Luckily everyone knows how to deal with it by now, we just go quiet and let her talk until she runs out of steam and then someone suggests to switch to another topic.

RED ONEZ GO FASTA

 

Whenever I search for questions I have about Android system apps, ADB, flashing, etc. I noticed all the search results are really scammy-looking websites with instructions that sound like they were translated from Chinese by an AI.
It doesn't make a difference if I use Google, Duckduckgo or Bing.

Also, there seems to be hardly any official documentation for Android available. Even finding out what the preinstalled system apps even do, what exactly is needed for push messages to work, or what the different permissions do is impossible for me.

I know of xdaforums.com but when I look there I usually end up in a thread with 30+ pages full of users asking questions that get no helpful answer.

How come there is so little good information on Android? Or am I looking in the wrong places?

 

At this point I'm not even picky about which custom ROM I run.
What I'm looking for is a phone that has a very small form factor and there's any custom ROM that officially supports it.

Ideally, with a 3-4" screen
Must be <5"
Must be officially supported. (for unsupported builds, I know of a few options already)

Are there any? Thanks for any suggestions or help!
