Baltimore’s subway is clearly worse.

Is that something people were asking for?

My purpose for a VPN is more about connecting to WiFi APs I don’t control. Google VPN worked just fine for that.

Transplants suck everywhere, but that doesn’t mean LA isn’t a complete dumpster fire.

Is there literally nobody else?

I just accept that living in the moment sometimes requires the sacrifice of ice cream stamps.

If that’s going on I promise you have much bigger concerns than how to pay for some mcnuggets. The same thing can happen to any credit card processor as well. Not a bad idea to keep some cash at home, but for day to day, hour to hour stuff there’s no need to bring it anywhere.

No different from losing your wallet back in the day. Except I can log into my Google accounts on literally any Android phone (plus my yubikey) and get it all back.

Still, I will put a credit card in a different pocket sometimes when I am going out drinking just in case. If I’m really stranded I’ll call the police from that bar, say my phone was stolen and beg them for a ride.

Literally Home Depot is the only place left which doesn’t have phone payments, and they really need to get with the fucking program. I wish more people would shame them for this.

I plan ahead and put it in my pocket if I’m going to get ice cream.

Yeah, as an older millennial, I was just carrying a phone in like 2013. No keys or wallet for most trips - just an ID and credit card in a phone case and a pin lock on the front door. That was before Apple pay was even a thing.

Gen Z is pretty cringe taking credit for the pocket minimalism movement I clearly started.

You can just take pictures of the barcode for most of that stuff.

More like a set of keys.

Yes, in Shanghai proper, about 70% of the public toilets have toilet paper these days, and that ratio drops quickly to zero as you get into the exurbs. The newest bullshit are toilets which have paper, but you need a face scan to get it and it limits you to like 8 squares. It’s like Japanese high tech bathroom, but instead of some anime Moe toilet character, it’s abusive and dystopian. Almost as if it’s forcing compliant indignity into every corner of society.

No porn in China so it takes a lot longer to jerk off.

Look at this guy and his whole 30s

You realize that your kernel which loads keys into memory can also access all this right? So can anything which shares memory space on the platform.

The 3x is legit. It’s not like these “one shot” challenges where you can just get it over with and then suffer for a bit. It’s a whole fucking bowl of ramen. Like 30 bites worth of pain and then when you are done your entire stomach is filled with it and you have to carry it around all day.

The fast mode also uses more water and electricity than the three hour heavy wash mode.

This is why I don’t let my Samsung TV connect to the Internet.
