Lol and the two biggest are close in color as well. At least make those two clear distinct colors.

Both links are paywalled, but if I’m remembering correctly, that company (CMG) eventually had to correct their claim that phones were actively listening to everything you say. It was an overzealous marketing guy trying to oversell. They admitted in the end that they use the same info that data brokers have on you based on data gathered from your browsing and other activity, not from actively listening to you.

Siri for example is designed in a way where it “listens” for your voice to call it, but that mechanism is completely separate from the actual Siri that connects to the internet to understand you.

Every 2-3 days I walk around the house pushing a swiffer mop and it has helped a ton with keeping dust at bay.

I wouldn’t consider beans countable, and would put it in the same category as rice or noodles. So I’d say “too much” is the correct term.

+1 for veracrypt. Very convenient.

Lol calm down, no one's trying to fight you over Signal being the best private messaging platform. I was just sharing that it was weird to me how stories was one of the most sought out features from users.

They also added stories which, despite what the internet might have you believe, was one of the most popular feature requests on the Signal message boards for many years

This was weird for me personally. I consider Signal a messaging tool which in my mind is separate from an actual social media app, so it was a bit of a head scratcher for me to see stories as a very popular feature request. I don't really care about sharing "stories" in that format to my contacts or seeing theirs, but then again that's just me.

I’ve never deleted any saved contacts on my phone/s over the years so there’s likely more than a couple of people there who are no longer living.

I think it also has to do with scale in time vs years lived. For example, if you are 9 years old, 3 years is a third of your entire life; while for a 30 year old, it’s a tenth. So time feels faster for the latter.

Not exactly, but when I was a kid, I slammed the receiver of our rotary phone because I saw Tom (IIRC) from Tom and Jerry do it. I got scolded obviously. lol

Will I be paid appropriately? If yes, then yes.
