Unfortunately, cutting drugs with things to make them either cheaper or stronger is pretty common most places, in fact it’s basically universal here. Some weed dealers have relatively uncontaminated stock, but most don’t.

And good fucking luck if you buy any kind of pills or anything.

Not proper cooking to a well temp, but you never really know if proper food safety practices were observed or not.

Isn’t mumble hot garbage? My planet side outfit memes on it whenever it gets brought up.

People who prefer android because it’s open source usually use open source android because that’s what they want.

That being said, proprietary blobs and black boxes are a pox on basically every usable device these days. I hate it.

Ads have been known to contain drive-by malware. Even if you don’t mind seeing ads (which personally I don’t mind unless they’re very intrusive), an adblocker is important for online safety.

I’ve had the exact opposite experience. I switched to Arch when proton came out, and I haven’t had a system breakage since that wasn’t directly caused by my actions.

Debian upgrades would basically fail to boot about 20% of the time before that.

The level of incompetence I’ve grown to expect of my state government would suggest that they’d have fissile material delivered and stored in a leaky shed, where it will create runoff which contaminates the local reservoir, before a crackhead steals it, takes it to the scrapyard, and it is never seen again.

Like I said, we can’t/won’t effectively regulate the power plants we have now.

Our government is only good for generating moral panics and building roads. I hope that changes one day, but it has been getting worse for a long time, so I won’t hold my breath for it to all be fixed tomorrow.

Yes, but when things go wrong, the boom is relatively small and contained.

We can’t run a regular coal or natural gas power plant here without fucking it up and getting people killed. Despite the safety of modern plant designs, I do NOT trust the people in charge here with fissile material.

Can confirm, the PC even stops working if you lick it long enough!

Context matters a lot. On a 27" monitor, it makes a pretty decent difference. On a 50" TV at 10+ ft…meh?

This is a hot take, but get a pixel. The hardware is more than good enough for basically any phone use case and you can install grapheneOS.

The battery life could be better, but it will last substantially more than a day, so complaining seems a little pointless to me.

Fictional cops rarely have any ethics. Quite famously, they ignore people civil rights or liberties when they “know” that person is guilty.

It’s like the male lead of a shitty romance novel acting super creepy, abusive, and rapey, but it’s okay because it’s fiction and they always luck out and the woman is into it.

That is the last place you want to be during a hurricane…

Now super armored dome houses…that’s where the money is.

It’s a 10/10 OS. I will only buy pixels until it or another similar project expands support to other brands.

Although as OP described, NFC does not work. You can just put a card in your phone case, if it’s that important to you, but I have to carry my wallet around anyways.

Because we didn’t want to follow federal regulations due to cost. Some of said regulations included winterizing measures. It was peak “leopards ate my face” material.
