I have fallen and landed with my full 200 pounds on the phone held in my hand grinding across 2 feet of asphalt. The scratch on the case is barely visible.

I walk the dogs on the beach at night, dropped the phone in the surf and watched the lit screen at night in the dark washed up the beach 20 feet away from me under the wave. I'm still typing on this indestructible beast.

You will pry my xcover pro 6 with swappable battery out of my cold dead hands.

Yeah. I think there are two schools out there, us anxious types that have to have the room pitch black without light source anywhere or we feel like a laser is drilling into our brain, and then normal people.

Or the alternate spelling in our house so we don't send the dog through the window: werl sounds like whirl

I did train our cat to come to a whistle.

Driving to work 110 miles a day meant I had to get gas once per week, driving out of my way, stopping to get gas cost me 500 minutes per year as opposed to the two seconds to plug in at home. Totally a no brainer. I HATED stopping for gas on the way home from work at 11 in the evening, or whatever hour really. I think of people tied to ICE engines the way people were tied to outhouses a hundred years ago.

Don't need the homeless. You can pluck a hair, donate your blood, or even take a plug of your foreskin if you have one, to generate the neural stem cells from iPSC, the cell type they use in this process.

If you read the arstechnica article Google is correcting these errors on the fly so the search results can change rapidly.

ooo! I knew about having to select the 'Web' option but this saves that step! Thank you!

Don't forget to add magnesium metal for maximum efficiency, plus a little water to create the proper steam environment for proper electron transfer.

I already actively avoid the shithole that is YouTube, as in I refuse to follow a link if it's YouTube and Google another path for what I need. Stopped Reddit, my only social media app last June, and now only on Lemmy a couple, the times per week. 5-10 years ago I used to complain about how bad Google was getting, little did I know how truly useless it would get.

 

One of mine is when I finish wrapping my hair up tightly in the towel to dry after washing, I whack the towel where it's tucked in, kind of like encouragement to stay tucked for the duration, kinda like a coach does when sending the kids onto the playing field.
