Between my partner and me, 4 to 6 times a day. I need to charge it faster because I don't have the charging base in the bathroom (UK houses don't have plug sockets in the bathroom) and I often forget to charge. When that happens, I want to wait 5 minutes to brush my teeth, not 45.

Oh yeah, I have the same one (or similar one in the range)! I got it because it charges faster than the non-ai version. Disregarding the digital gimmicks it is an excellent toothbrush, and I couldn't tell you if the Bluetooth/AI make it better or worse because I literally can't care about the connectivity protocols or data processing capabilities of a fucking toothbrush.

The way I see it, it needs to be made a thing. It's okay to be trans, it's okay to dress in drag, it's not okay to do it while you're a homo/transphobe. That's very much like the LGBTQ+ equivalent of cultural appropriation.

Plus I'm tired of the hypocrisy. If they're okay with us having to endure being called slurs, he deserves to go through the same. We will stop if and once they say "please stop, it's okay to be gay".

Same, more or less. I work with self driving cars, in software integration (for people not familiar, that is putting together the software components other teams make, and solving the interactions between them).

It's supremely fun. Constantly changing, chaotic, requires me to see the whole picture and never keep detailed focus on a specific part for very long. I love it.

When you bought e.g. half-life, it would come with the ability to run a server.

If a game needs a server, that functionality should be added into the game, not kept separate. I mean it might be a separate executable, but it should be part of the game "bundle" because the server is part of the game.

Thank you, signed.

I have no idea what this solves. You get wet and have to pedal like in a bike, but it's big and cumbersome like a car?

For those two examples, I'd either keep looking or lower the requirements if I believe it's absolutely impossible - it all depends on the time constraints.

If I have 8 months more to look for a job, I won't care / lower my expectations. If I need a job now, I'll find whatever and look for a better job in the meantime.

On the vacation example, I would keep trying to find a place where I want to stay until I'm actually pressed for time - then I'd look for a place further away or lower the requirements.

Sometimes trying harder works, but the times it doesn't, it's more valuable to find something not-so-nice and settle than to keep stressing and trying to find something impossibly good, without achieving anything.

Improvisers unite ✊

I have accepted I can plan about 20% and the rest will have to be solved on the fly. The world is confusing. There are too many things happening at once for anyone (definitely at least for myself!) to keep track of everything. My goal when planning is not to set out exactly what I'm going to do, but rather to reduce uncertainty and gather information to improvise effectively if needed.

Absolute yea!

Although I wasn't a fan of how the goblins kept acting like they were going to eat the baby, ready with knives and forks, but no, really it was the king the only one who was going to try it.

My brain can usually get around the sci-fi-magic in doctor who but that sort of argumental u-turn gets me scratching my head for too long, even if it's a small detail.

never fixed until ~~Android 6~~ Android 9

FTFY

It wasn't until my Xiaomi Mi 8 that I could use my phone without babysitting wakelocks. My nexus 6P still had them, and the consequences were quite annoying thanks to the SD810...
