The other day a dude was using his phone on speaker in the gym. Just sat there on the machine casually having a conversation on the phone and not doing a whole lot of working out.

I asked him if he could use the phone normally and made the “hand to face” gesture and he just mumbled a “yeah” and took it off speaker.

Now if he had considered my request outlandish, presumably there would have been a little friction in this exchange? But no…he knew exactly what he was doing, why it was annoying, and immediately how to remedy it.

Why the fuck are people using speakerphone instead of the God damn normal speaker to have their conversations? They know it’s annoying.

I’m curious as to whether this is lack of experience, knowledge or imagination. Maybe all 3.

Goodness gracious your responses to these Russian trolls are entertaining, keep it up!

Fuck off, Russian bot

So can Russia

I have a pi4 and been very happy with the dimensions and low power usage. What could I get for the same price and power use?

Genuine question. Im looking at a pi5 right now.

Care to elaborate? What’s wrong with “hosting” on a rpi?

Thanks for the tip!

I always tell passengers where the manual lever is, and where the break glass hammer is. What’s the point in having them if only 1 of you knows the location?

This comment made me learn. Thank you.

You sound about as self aware as the adults they’re referring to.

No, they’re basically saying the same as the summary.

Thankfully there’s nothing particularly special about Elons DNA and so whatever they produce from it will be an especially sub-par human.

Elon, like Trump, are cut from the same cloth: family wealth.

You are correct. If the flow of traffic in lane 1 or 2 is faster than the flow of traffic in lane 2 or 3 then it is okay to pass. Intentionally changing lane temporarily to pass a car on the inside is illegal.

The other poster confused your point.

If someone in lane 3 is going 69 and overtaking someone then there’s no reason to pass them, and probably isn’t safe or legal given there is, by definition, a car on the inside lane already.

I kinda did the same. Except I went for .ml and folks would call me a tankie for no other reason. Got kinda boring so I switched to another.

This would just be an occasional nuisance I reckon. You’d get pretty good at it. Just like all the other mundane things we have to do in our mortal lives.

Must every use of a singular pronoun be called out? This isn’t offensive, it’s slip of the tongue. Get out your own arse and give people a break.

Are you sure you can’t come in anyway? Janice didn’t turn up either and we’re really stretched.

Has it not? Are you sure the bubble isn’t just 1 light second away? Anything travelling towards you at the speed of light is not perceptible until it hits you. This is why the ability to accelerate something to FTL speeds would be an unstoppable super weapon and most likely lead to interstellar species destroying one another until only 1 remains. Or at least that’s my take.
