I typed with T9 without looking. Learned what order the “common button combination” words would be suggested. Still haven’t recovered my WPM from that era.

Released two years later, expensive as hell, still had a touchscreen. The blackberry was always an option.

Chad did a bad job. Fuck AI.

Yeah, I really miss spelling things out like this. Those were the days.

Missing the pauses needed to start the next letter sure stumped my translation progress.

Not to mention mixing up Lemmy and Reddit. And always starting in a confirmatory wording.

Nice ad my dude! How come you went with the “standard” layout instead of something more ergonomic like an ortholinear setup?

I guess I did. Sorry about that!

Because Trump was never going to wage a war? Lol. Everyone but R could see it clear as day that Trump would have no interest at all in stopping his Zionist friends from their favorite pastime hobby.

It seems citizenship don’t mean anything to ICE. Stay safe, friend and good luck.

Many (most?) of those have been adopted over years of doing something badly - arguably “history” which could’ve been learned from.

I guess everything is news if you don’t learn your history.

Why not USB C? It can carry a DP signal and (obviously) do all the USB stuff you’d ever need too.

That’s incorrect. DP has had audio (up to 8 channels, 24bit@192kHz) since 1.0, nowadays it supports up to 32 channels and 1536kHz sample rate. Wikipedia has the official standards PDFs linked.

Americans pay 10x per capita for their healthcare, compared to other countries like the Nordics or Germany. Still, the costs of the war on Iran would have funded public healthcare for all for how long? Decades?

I did participate in my mandatory military conscription. Was excited for it. Learned some habits that I’m sure have helped me since. Alternative would’ve been jail, which sounded like an overall bad idea.

There are pacifist roles (medics, firefighters, …) for those that don’t want to handle a gun.

I’d be more willing to believe it if the second comma was a decimal point.

Mainstream Media no longer has the reach that it used to. Nowadays you’ll have to find your own spaces to discuss whatever you feel like discussing. If you actually feel like learning more about what’s new in the agriculture space, I’m sure there are special interest groups to join locally/regionally where you are. Sadly I don’t think you’ll be able to get the topic to become a global interest - we all need food and most are willing to sacrifice quite a bit to keep the current level of comfort related to how to acquire said food. For the general populace, how the food got to the store is knowledge they’ll have no use for.

My main point is that shit is happening everyday in that space. Electric tractors are becoming a viable option. New feed to lessen livestock farts are used. Ways to lessen expeditures and/or maximize output without increasing pollution are sought everyday.

Why do I get a feeling that OP doesn’t talk much to farmers?

I mean, going skiing costs an arm and a leg to begin with. $10 for a large beer at the mountain doesn’t sound outrageous to me.
