Me when I was 12. Around that time two of my aunts also divorced. My dad side a couple more split earlier on too. My generation of cousins and siblings had a running joke that divorce was in our dna. Probably some truth to that.

All studios had to do was follow the path of music streaming. It’s practically rid of piracy on a mass market because most streaming service has practically the same content. So it’s a matter of user experience they’re competing with, not the content they host.

I hit my limit with hope much I’m willing to pay for a phone. Unless my contracting work needs the best phone I’ll be capping myself at a price by getting not the latest phone.

This isn’t talked about enough. Apple at least for now support more older models than most if not all androids. The key is not to buy into the marketing. Phones today are good enough and mature enough to not need to be at the bleeding edge every other year. Just get a new case, new wallpaper and swap the battery before deciding a new phone.

Honestly if you care about camera improvements, get a second hand semi decent mirrorless or point and shoot camera. Way more fun. And easy replaceable battery and storage.

It’s incredible to think they don’t mind given that people say how good dog’s sense of smell (and taste?) is.

I’m always bothered by this meme template. My follow up tile would be the woman leaving as he’s talking like she’s a menu item.

Edit: I know it’s a joke and a meme but still

I taught guitar at the height of guitar hero. I just taught kids how to play songs they liked. If they like playing they’ll be curious enough to want to learn theory, which some did.

I live a short bike ride away from the shops. I have some side bags for the ebike I built so lugging groceries isn’t too much of an issue.

The biggest shift is learning you wouldn’t shop the same way you do with a car. With a car you go to a big supermarket and load up a trolley. Spend over a hundred for a week’s worth and drive home. With a bike you kinda just buy as needed for the next couple days. You do more trips throughout the week which is kinda nice too. Forces you to get out of the house more. Benefit I realised when doing this was vegetables were less likely to just die out in the fridge since I bought as needed. Which meant I spent a little less overall.

It’s hard to have a baby without a car. It’s for sleep, for nappy changing, your closet and your pantry. Those first few years especially. If you need one even for a few years it’s totally understandable.

The idea is the concentration of lithium production can be more controlled (and recycled?) as opposed to leaving gas guzzlers out on the road. Plus the distribution of gas to gas stations and such.

As much as I want an EV. My country is just not set up for a smooth transition to EV yet. Until then it’s best to just not give the auto industry more sales and run what you have until you’re realistically ready.
