Mickey Moses spent 40 days and 40 nights on a steam boat until they finally found land.

That’s a good metaphor! I’m not sure about the rock though, throwing a rock into a complicated machine doesn’t seem like the best idea. I’d consider replacing it with oil, where it needs to cover the gears at the top first before it can drip down.

But you compared it to other planes, not to cars. Please leave the goal posts were they are.

You still have a contract. But I get that it may not be worth the trouble.

This of course depends on your jurisdiction and how much time you’re willing to put into this, but I’d refuse to pay for shipping either way.

You have a contract with the company, and they didn’t fulfil it, that’s on them. They can’t just send you a defective product and make you pay for (part of) it.

I use bxactions to control play/pause (single tap), flashlight (hold when screen is locked) and auto rotation (hold when screen is on). No custom ROMs or root needed, just a quick abd command that comes with the app and disables bixby.

If you’re a large online news outlet doing this repeatedly: Probably sue you.

I don’t see it either.

And nothing of substance would be lost, that’s the point.

“This meeting comic could’ve been an e-mail image.”

Put a pen there or make it clear that it’s paper. These are imho quite obvious.

Everything but the last panel just explains the joke before it’s even made.

This could’ve been one panel.

I don’t think they researched this decision.

Who?

The new owners? They’re interested in the high rankings on the playstore. The vast majority of people don’t care about bloat/privacy and install whatever is at the top of search results.

The original developers? I’m sure it worked out for them.

Collectively know as the four humors.

The only actual rule I’m aware of is diminutives (i.e. words ending in -chen or -lein) always being neuter (das). This is also the reason why it’s das Mädchen (girl) and das Fräulein.

The rest is arbitrary, and sometimes there’s even regional variations.

Also one is a strong and one is a weak verb, meaning that in certain cases, one will be split apart:

Ich umfahre jemanden: I drive around someone.

Ich fahre jemanden um: I run someone over.

Clearly nuclear is the future!

I know phones cost money but when they lock you in a shitty contract for 2 or even 4 years, is it even worth it.

In the EU, mobile phone contracts have been limited to 24 months since 2011.

That’s the whole point of going to a restaurant. >So you can convince yourself that the food is somewhat healthy, without seeing all the salt, sugar and fat they put in it.

I thought the point of going to a reastaurant was eating tasty food. No one’s lying to themselves about reastaurant food being healthy.

But alternatives we have and know to work solve both greenhouse gasses and local porblems.

We’ll have to stop driving gas cars specifically, but we’ll also just have to drive less in general.
