devnull406,

In medieval England it was trendy to make nicknames by rhyming with a shortened form

Robert -> Rob -> Bob

Richard -> Rick -> Dick

Margaret -> Meg -> Peg

William -> Will -> Bill

All being pretty common examples. This was covered pretty early on in the excellent History of English Podcast

There’s not much reading involved, it’s got a big picture of a deer on it.

Dude here. My wife doesn’t like the water anywhere near as hot as I do. I’ve seen the “girlfriend hot water” meme but never thought it was real. Is this really a thing for everyone?

devnull406,

Yeah I’ve done it plenty of times too… In this case I don’t want to wipe (during the initial bootloader unlock) and then get a new phone in a few days. Too much work to set everything up twice.

The other issue of course is that Google can’t expect that to be the obvious behavior for users. Updates can and should just roll out on time for all users.

devnull406,

Oh well that changes things then. I tried to use the Android Flash Tool and it wanted unlock my bootloader first. It’s been a while since I’ve messed with this. I’ll take a look. Thanks

devnull406,

Easy peasy - side loaded and done. Thanks again

Using T-Mobile but so is my wife on her 6 Pro so maybe 7 Pro specific?

devnull406,

Today my phone screen turned completely green for a little while, then Gmail was crashing, and Chrome froze on me. I wonder if they were holding it back for a good reason.

My 8 Pro arrives tomorrow, so I guess it’s moot.

We had a son (4) and a daughter (2) and my wife really wanted a third. I wasn’t that excited about the idea, because we had 2 children and one of each seemed like plenty.

I was a pretty firm “no” for a long time, but she eventually convinced me during a particularly hot and heavy night.

Our youngest is now 10 and she’s an absolute joy. I can’t imagine my life feeling complete without all 3 kids. It’s one of the greatest things she ever conned me into doing.

Then I got a vasectomy.

The only winning move is not to play.

The Sun Does Shine - I was a supporter of the death penalty until I read this book. It totally rocked my world and I realized how totally wrong I was. There are evil people in this world, but I am not God and I don’t get to decide who lives and dies. Also, if there is even a small chance that someone was wrongly convicted, we can not kill them - we make ourselves murderers.

Really this book made me rethink my entire view on systematic racism, the prison system, and the death penalty.

Are you able to read in your dreams?

I ask because it’s considered common knowledge that you can’t but I regularly have dreams where I continue books I’m reading irl (they usually devolve into naritive nonsense over time and then sometimes to blank pages, but the actual text is definitely deciferable), text messages, computer screens, and road signs, in both...

devnull406,

I have definitely written code in my sleep. As to whether it would work in real life who knows, but I’ve had dreams that I was coding. It’s very annoying to do it in your sleep and then go do it in your awake as well.

Let’s not forget the Fish Cam. You could press Ctrl Alt F in Netscape and go to a live stream of a fish tank in like 1994
