This is a man who knows how to gling. He is glinging. Yesterday, he _____.
Most of the California coast is actually pretty cold compared to the rest of the state. Why, I have no clue.
Also, the place you marked as "indigenous" is also farmland and cowboys, because Oklahoma is where we sent all the indigenous peoples to.
I looked it up right before writing that comment.
I think what you are remembering is that slow charging is usually due to some sort of problem with the power supply, and if your phone is always slow charging that might indicate that your battery is damaged. Slow charging, by itself, is very safe.
Back when I was preparing to propose to my now-fiancee, she figured out very fast exactly where and how I planned on proposing. I didn't want to change my plans, so I lied my ass off for the next month to convince her that
- There was no way that I could propose on that date because the ring was still in Canada/Michigan/Guam/Pennsylvania/Kansas/Indiana/etc.
- Even if I did, I can't do it where I wanted to because she's expecting it now and I am adamant that she be surprised
Kept all my plans the same, had the ring the whole time, everything went according to plan. She was completely suprised!
That said, the stress of keeping a secret for so long apparently wore my immune system down. An hour after putting my ring on her finger, I was suddenly nauseous, exhausted, a bit dizzy, and running a high fever. So now she has extra proof that I will never lie to her.
That makes more sense than what I thought initially
It's the same for both. There is a marginal benefit to slow charging but IMHO it doesn't outweigh the inconvenience of having it on the charger so long.
Honestly, it's better for your battery. Fast charging heats up your battery and wears it down.
I mean that's basically what I'm looking for. I dont find tablets to be super useful
What exactly are Chromebooks for?
Follow-up question: if i got a Chromebook and wanted to put a distro on it that does what ChromeOS does, what distro would you reccomend? Just to be clear, I strongly dislike Chrome but depend on Google apps for my schoolwork and my job, which is why I'm looking at a Chromebook at all.
Edge of Tomorrow, the movie where tom cruise is put in a weaponized time loop to stop an alien invasion, stars a female lead named Rita that the male lead pines and tries to earn the love of. This is a reference to Groundhog Day's female lead named Rita.
I kinda wished that they had named the male and female leads named Phil Connors and Rita Hanson, so that it could be interpreted as the weirdest AU fan-work of Groundhog Day ever.
I find it funny that you are only taking issue with it here, in the comments, not with the original post
Men of Lemmy, how old were you when you found out that bra cup sizes are not standardized in the slightest?
It's so bad that my fiancée has some bras that say she's a B cup and others that says she's a D cup. In order to go bra shopping, you have to actually try them on to find out if they fit.
If I had to try on underwear to see if they fit, I might not bother with underwear at all!
My favorite rule is telling people all about skinny pigs.

If you want him, you're going to have to pick between his happiness and safety. If you want him to be happy and get him a friend to live with, when they argue his friend will bite him in the rump and sides, and he's going to be constantly sick and tired from all the shivering. If you want him to be safe, just get him, but he might actually die of loneliness. Also, he only exists for one of two reasons. Either he is going to have drugs tested on him in a lab (no fur means easy access to the skin) or a breeder was using him to store the genes of a recessive coloration pattern they like. If you still want one, get a heating pad for him to to stand on and some blankets for him to tunnel under, and hope he doesn't pee on the heating pads too much." > > \#guineapigs

Newb looking for fabric advice for a windbreaker
I just made an almost no-effort cloak, but when I tried to wear it outside I was disappointed to find that the wind cut right through the single layer of no-pill fleece I had cut into a U-shape and draped over my body. Who could have predicted that! 🤦♂️
I'm currently puzzling over how to upgrade my project into something that could protect me from the wind a bit better. I've got two main ideas:

unreasonably long rant about the weather
Just to be clear, the reason I'm making a cloak is that it's 40 degrees outside right now but I just know that next week it's gonna be in the 80s again because you cant spell fall without all here in the midwest, and if I wear my jacket I'm going to transfer all my belongings into its pockets and I'm not going to readjust when the weather decides it's time for August Part 2. That means I'll he walking around with a winter coat on in 80° weather because I'm too lazy to just take my keys and wallet out of my coat pocket and put it in my pants pockets. So I just want something that can do the job without the commitment. I'm a college student, nobody cares what I wear, I could wear whatever I want.

Please comment what sort of fabric you think suits my needs best. If I'm completely on the wrong track here, please tell me so; i have never had any common sense at all and never will.
Me talking to my rodents.
I must remind my potatoes of how good they would be in a stew. They are so cute and chubby!
Trying to come up with a list of vague words for different "kinds of animals". Help?
I'm fiddling with a card game concept, and a very important part of it is creatures interacting with other specific kinds of creatures. This necessarily means I need to come up with lots of type names that are descriptive but vague enough to shove literally anything in them. Here's some good examples: "bug" containing ants, shrimps, pillbugs, bees, and literally anything that could be called a creepy crawly; "fish" containing everything from salmon to sharks to eels to octopi; "trees" containing all the stuff you are thinking of as well as those precambrian 6-foot fungi pillars; and "cats" including housecats, big cats, cheetah, and carcals.
And that's everything I can think of that would be useful. You see my problem? I know there are other casual-usage words for big categories of critters, but my grasp of the Enlgish language is fickle and leaves me whenever it is most inconvenient. If there is a list I could work from, that would be very helpful. Otherwise, volunteer as many words as you think would be useful.
