Thanks for your service soldier. I wanted to retire too, but at 8 years my bop code expired and I got a nice little email congratulating me on becoming an mtl at Sheppard. I bop'd out of Texas and there was no way they were getting me to go back. It sucks because I did really like the air Force but the transition from e4 mafia to nco blew lol. No longer do your job and instead I was pushing paper and disciplining troops for ditching pt. And then do only that for 3 years for high schools kids in middle of nowhere Texas? 😂 Denied the retraining, cert'd up my last year, then got a job doing my same job with less work and for way more pay. The air Force classic lol.

Always glad to hear a good retirement story though. Most of the people I knew who retired were jaded as hell by the end of it. Hopefully the air Force didn't break your body too bad though... Have a cold one for me! Air power!

I've had the z fold 3, 4, 5 and pixel fold, right there with you. I mostly hear the complaints about people thinking folding phones are dumb from sites where people are more likely to have serious opinions on what phone you should buy, like here and reddit. To be honest everytime someone sees my phone for the first time they're super interested in it and could see themselves buying one; the real issue is the price. As soon as I mention that it's probably 3x the price of their current phone, that's the end of that lol. Hopefully they can get the price down to regular slab phones. Once they do I think they'll start to seriously compete because I think this form factor is incredible.

It was cool in 2010 when I was like 14 and had an iPod touch but didn't have wireless Internet access at home because my parents didn't understand the concept of a router and thought they would have to pay for it, plus christian concern over porn and corruption on the net. So I could go to like McDonalds or whatever, download all of these game review articles, web novels, and whatever else I was into at the time so that when I got back home I could still interact with the web.

Nowadays, yeah I don't really get the point. Everyone's permanently plugged in so a regular bookmark is fine. Also in case anyone was concerned, my buddy eventually gave me his old router and I secretly set up WiFi in my house so I was good for the rest of the time I lived at home 👍

I use it because I follow a lot of Japanese artists and mangakas. It's nice because ya know Twitter is English so getting around is pretty easy. Stuff like pixiv seemed intimidating because it's made for a Japanese audience, even if they have English stuff. Plus I just know how to use Twitter after making my account in 2009.

I force closed the app from settings and then that went away. I didn't mess with anything else.

In another article they post a photo of an example from reddit and it does say promoted next to the post title. So there's something there because there is an FTC law saying ads must be disclosed. Obviously they want to obfuscate that it's an ad as much as possible though so who knows how that'll change.

I always laugh at, after being in the military and a government employee, things being marketed as military grade. So what, it runs on windows server 2003 and hasn't been in production for 20 years?
