I'm waiting for a possible release of a new Sony Xperia 10 phone in May. The Xperia 10 VI was close to what I want. I could buy last year's but rumors are a new one will be released soon. I guess I can live a month or two with a dying battery. It is my best shot of getting a decent phone with a headphone jack, no camera punch-hole or notch, and a straight-forward UI, and a somewhat OK long software support period with updates. I hope it'll be about the same price and actually worth it.

i only upgrade my phone if i can do it in such a way that it would be free or if my old phone gets so old it's cumbersome to use. what this means is every time i get a new phone i'm amazed by features that were actually added three models ago. did you guys hear about this "Siri" thing? crazy

Meanwhile other USA citizens ask me if I'm from England or Canada or somewhere. Do I really not sound Californian? I say "dude" just all the damn time!

My dad was showing me something of an old guy from Maryland, where Dad's from. Dude had a wicked thick accent, but I could mostly follow him while he was talking with the interviewer. But once another local came up and they started talking, man, I swear it went from "dialect" to "whole new language" as far as I could hear

@scribus western Maryland and the Baltimore-DC area may well be in two different parts of the country if I’m being honest.

@zeldatra My dad has the absolute thinnest accent of his side of the family, and even he was able to be pinned down to what part of the Chesapeake Bay he grew up on by a dude he met in Long Beach for about ten minutes

Working for a project in northern Germany. Every morning it begins with everyone greeting with "moin". It is not a abbreviation for "morning" but it is an old lower German word for "good" and "pleasant".

@scribus Just to be clear: Lower German is not that common, however in casual conversation it has some foothold in everyday use, especially common expressions and traditional stuff like in food or handiwork or hunting. In comparison the Bavarian dialect is 20 times more common. It is not dead but there is definitely a dying trend. A local broadcaster has a one hour news block that uses lower German throughout.

I wanted to finish my 3d printer repairs but NO, the self-designed part cooling fan ducts had to be redesigned 6 times because of some dumb issues. On top of that I had some print failures.

The air duct I was using for years is utterly apple. With my latest attempt I saw that the fan has not enough pressure to push the air through. I only noticed it now. I modeled one myself with less restriction in flow. I'm confident that it is better but I didn't use any simulations or other verification.

For me it is easier to recreate a 3d model in CAD than to do the modification I need in blender. Due to a new hotend I grabbed a part cooling fan duct off the Internet and had to do some modifications to make it work. I needed to extend some parts for clearance. Yeah... I could do that in blender with not a lot of problems BUT now it is easier for me because I have a CAD model now. It only took me 30 minutes to recreate. Once I used Cinema 4D and it was easier to grasp the workflow and UI for teenage me than blender.

Almost repaired my 3d printers. Printer one got a mainboard replacement and a new hotend and a new extruder. The other had already the upgraded mainboard but was mostly disassembled for another hotend (E3D V6) but it was too difficult because I had to reengineer the mounts and cooling so I stopped that due to lack of motivation. That one also got a new hotend and a new extruder. Both need new matching part cooling fan ducts for the new hotend. Also I have to compile my own firmware. Maybe tomorrow I will have 4 working FDM printers again.

7 hours into my 32th birthday I've already caused all sorts of romantic chaos, had my crush hint very overtly that she would like me to fight with her boyfriend over her (won't, she made her choice) and had a drunk gay friend confess to me in an absolutely obsessive, self-destructive and pathological way (which would have been really hot if it was a girl)
It's turning out to be a VERY eventful day and I'm very happy for it.
I joined this place when I was 18 and I'm glad I haven't mellowed out at all in that time. Here's hoping in another 14 years things will be just as crazy still.about a year ago from web-
@adiwan Pretty sure I'm not! but it's a funny life for certain and I put in a non-insignificant amount of work into keeping it that way.

To be perfectly honest with you crashing the stock market was just about my biggest hope for Trump, I just didn't expect him to do it in three months. Cheers to my brand new stock portfolio! ...once things cool down.

I've grown weak. My capsaicin resistance is barely existing.

@scribus I have one Cayenne plant and 5 Jalapeno. They don't bear a lot of fruit but right now I am plenty served by them. I planted seeds for their replacement, as they are supposed to be living about one year. I don't get cold sweat or anything but their hotness can be slightly overwhelming. Maybe I need them to cook for a lot longer. They were basically fresh when I put them into the sauce. As of now I wouldn't go eating any hotter stuff than that.
