To me, the cost of stuff like syrup works as a great example of how much we shouldn’t be eating it.

It costs so much because it’s very time consuming, labor intensive, and it’s reduced from the source liquid about 80%.

I go through about 16oz of syrup in 1 to 2 years. It’s a sugar (a very simple carb), that’s plenty for the average person.

Even worse is what it’s typically used for - high carbohydrate foods, like pancakes, waffles, and desserts. Again, stuff we really shouldn’t be eating all that much of.

It’s sort of naturally limiting by the effort involved in getting it. So I don’t mind paying for the real thing.

The one on the right. He’s got the full on “holy shit” look.

Just get a new screen kit online. For most phones, they’re fairly reasonably priced. (But not Pixel, not even a 5 from 2020).

After heating it with a lighter. 😆

Exactly.

Honesty and transparency go a long way. If we know what’s going on, we can choose to help if we have time (say it’s for a portfolio).

I now put dates on everything (sharpie or paint pen) in an inconspicuous place so I know how long I’ve had something.

Do the same with containers - get a date when I open it to use something. If I come across a container (say USB cables) that hasn’t been opened in 2 years, maybe I don’t need that stuff.

I think it’s a failure of the muscles after decades of playing.

By how much? What is your start point?

My 2 year old Lenovo (business, not consumer) laptop takes the same time to boot as my ~4 year old phone. Though the difference is negligible.

This is what I’m talking about - we both have different experiences, and I’m sure neither of us is using a stopwatch or ensuring we’re measuring consistently every time.

Given how fast either one boots, I don’t really see the issue. Especially since phones don’t get rebooted constantly (though I reboot mine every 3-4 days because stuff I do makes it unstable). Previous phones ran for up to a month before needing a reboot.

Edit: Just did a test, 40 seconds to being logged in on my phone. Not exactly a problem.

Yea, Windows has had (real) separate user logins since XP (well, NT3.51,but no consumer used that).

No one gets my password, I’ll create a separate account for you.

I think we need better/standardized metrics to make any statement about Android being slow to boot.

From personal experience, it boots faster than any computer I own.

Then again, most apps on Android register for a bunch of receivers, many for “on boot” so do whatever they do for that broadcast. (Yet another reason I run rooted, to disable those receivers and keep rarely used apps hibernated).

These days I try to do both, but recognize it’s an on-going thing that will never be done.

Sometimes folder structure can be a challenge because of extensive metadata. Where do parts of a compilation go, for example. At least with metadata, music players can show the tracks correctly.

Plus if they’re links, how many still work?

You understand the value of risk management.

You know they’ll be getting paid.

Take some expensive shit home that you can sell. Fuck 'em.

Made the least attractive one go first… Dammit. Haha

The 60’s…thats whats with the hats

Poorly acted, shot, written and edited

Haha, awesome

Dammit, now I want some kind of pastry

Shag… Oh my. Both good and bad.

No kidding? I don’t recall that.

First I read was in Windows NT mag about 1999,they had a working prototype, but without a touch screen.

Of course it wasn’t called Android, yet.
