The only reason I haven’t bought a sidephone yet.

I say Gesundheit here in Australia like its muscle memory anytime anyone sneezes. My girlfriend hates it but its ingrained in me, I have no idea why. Its just a funny word

I’m religious, and I say that too. I think you’re in the clear.

More than ever

Give me a break, I’m allowed to go to church on Sunday. That doesn’t mean I’m a far right MAGA maniac. Just means I like a sip of watered down wine once a week

Eh, I’m an Australian who works with old British machinery, so I’m used to thinking in Imperial too. You’ll never get away from it, not in our lifetimes.

Diesel is equivalent to 2 €/Liter in Australia right now. Given that the country runs on diesel, its a nightmare. Even the few people who don’t own cars are hurting, because the ships that bring in food run on diesel, the trucks and trains that bring the food from the ports to the rest of the country run on diesel. The grain producers and cattle farms, some of which are the size of small countries, all run on diesel. The cost of diesel is hitting everyone.

5/32"? What in the washing machines per football pitch kind of archaic measuring system is that?

My car is 46 years old. Average vehicle in Australia is 10-12 years old. People who exclusively lease new cars are nuts! Assuming petrol is still around I’ll keep my car going as long as I can - and even then I’ll only swap an electric drivetrain into it. There’s nothing wrong with the rest of the car

You wrote exactly that delusion into your constitution. The only reason you still have guns after everybody else realised they were bad was so that you could use them to overthrow some mythical tyrannical government.

Now the tyrannical government is here. Use your guns you love so much. Overthrow it.

Is this true? The luxury car tax was bought in to protect our auto industry, I thought that was still a thing even though our auto industry is long dead

Yep, my primary phone is a Sony Xperia 10 IV on SailfishOS. If I had a working camera and could take a call without being forced to use speakerphone I’d be over the moon, but as it is it’s pretty neat and there aren’t otherwise too many day to day issues.

You’re right, its shit. Fennec via Android has to be called up way too often. But, to their credit, the android compat layer is second to none

Do you have access to HKEY_CURRENT_USER in the registry? You can usually edit this even without admin rights.

I went back to the old Win10 right click menu by this method on my work PC, which sped things up substantially

I carry a Linux phone in my normal pocket, not my other one.

The camera doesn’t work, I don’t have any problem with apps but I am probably not a typical user in that regard, but my 5000mAh battery lasts me a day and ends on 30-40%, which is reasonable but not nearly as good as Android. My family members complain I sound like I’m underwater when I call them and the phone crashes every morning when I take it off the charger.

Linux phones are a wonderful promise but require a lot of comprimises. I hope they improve soon

Are the bullets that killed those people made of rubber?

Same way my grandad quit smoking. Dad used to slip horse hairs into some of his cigarettes so when he’d go to take a drag he could never be sure if he was going to end up with a throat full of horse hair or if he picked a lucky one. Scared him straight, he never smoked again.

I’m a younger person but I sit at a desk most days for 8 hours. I do not need bulk calories. Sometimes just one big meal is enough. I certainly don’t need three

I went out of my way to find a dumb TV locally for my grandfather and it was literally impossible. He just needs TV channels, but noooo - now every time he turns it on he has to get past a million screens trying to sell him shit or launch Youtube before he can watch the 6 oclock news followed by the football.
