To add to this, if your debit card is used fraudulently, that money is gone from your bank account forever. If your credit card is used fraudulently, you are on the hook for maximum $50, and in my experience it has always been $0.

I have had fraudulent charges show up on a CC about once every 2-3 years. In each case, the worst hassle is waiting a few days for a new card to arrive. That alone is enough for me to never use a debit card unless absolutely necessary.

The boring answer is that we'd use different materials for construction. Or we'd find a way to make them suitable for construction, like how we turn sand and gravel into concrete, or pack snow into ice blocks.

You're 100% right. Im going to look into a remedial reading course at the local elementary school.

Sorry, I don't know what the hell was going on that my brain interpreted your post to say you were using a phone. Thanks for not being a dick in return, even though you would have been justified 😅

TBH, that's significantly better than I would have expected for photos of the stars taken on a phone.

FYI stars (and anything over a few hundred feet actually) is at an infinite distance as far as your phone's optics are concerned. So it's not a matter of focusing, it's a matter of trying to resolve what are effectively pinpoints of light on a black background while in your hand, where the minutest movement will smear them across the sensor.

Photographing the stars is not trivial, even with a real camera and a tripod.

I actually didn't, which was the main reason I replied.

It's fairly common to see people arguing as though a thing is either risky or not risky, without any sense of context.

The real issue is that airplane mode should really only affect cell signals now and leave WiFi alone since planes have WiFi now and a lot of applications share between devices with WiFi, and leave Bluetooth and NFC alone since they’re short range and low power and unlikely to cause issues.

I'm not sure how common it is, but my S22+ will remember if I turn bluetooth or wifi on while in airplane mode, and leave them on in the future. That's especially nice since I use a CGM that pairs to my phone via bluetooth, so I don't have to worry about accidentally losing that connection.

Spot on about there not being any point in having cellular service enabled. You're 6 miles up and traveling a mile every few seconds, so you might as well just shut that radio off and save a bit of battery power.

Huh... You have me questioning my sanity now.

Apparently they were the same imagery during the first seasons but in the last season they changed by episode. I have a few vivid recollections of seeing a motif from the intro show up in a key shot from the episode, but that must have all come from the last season.

Better Call Saul

Short, sweet, and generally relevant to the episode in an almost easter-eggish way.

As a former teenager, I apologize.
