Same. All my life I didn’t like being around kids, being in places with lots of children, being with nieces, nephews etc. I found them loud and unpredictable, like belligerent little drunks with attention seeking problems.

But then I got married, and we had kids, and I suddenly don’t mind anymore. Probably an evolutionary adaptation. But there are still certain kids I can’t tollerate, but that’s more likely the parents fault, not the kids fault.

Update, after looking at it a bit more, I don’t know if I like the Edge 60 pro. It’s got a MediaTek processor, I prefer Qualcomm. I’m not a fan of the faux leather back, and the price is much higher than I expected (though I know they discount substantially after a year on the market).

I’m on an Edge 30 Pro now, it’s the best smartphone I’ve ever used. I’ve had it for 2 years, and it was 1 year old when I bought it.

I skipped the Edge 40 and Edge 50 (they are pretty good, but not worth upgrading), this Edge 60 pro will likely be my next new phone.

I will wait until I can buy a lightly used one. I don’t buy new smartphones anymore. There are many people who upgrade their phone every year, and unlike iPhones, most android smartphones depreciate in value rapidly after they are even lightly used, so it’s easy to get a good deal on a 1 year old phone that’s in near-new condition.

Bro, people normally don’t comment in the form of a regular expression.

I was big into custom ROMs back when CyanogenMod was the state of the art. Unfortunately these days my banking app and my work mail app don’t work on custom ROMs, so I’m stuck with whatever the manufacturer provides me.

This is correct. All DVDs I borrow from our local library have these.

I’ve only been to another country once in my life. In 2018 I was invited to present at a scientific conference held in Sicily, and my workplace sponsored my travel and accommodation costs.

After 6 days there, my takeaway was an unfavorable view of the local Sicilian people. This is obviously not representative of every person in Sicily, or Italians in general (Italy is a big place with lots of different regions), but I’m not in a hurry to go back to Palermo.

Is that the same police officer who unloaded an entire clip into a teen’s abdomen repeatedly firing her handgun, pulling the trigger because she thought her taser wasn’t deploying?

As someone who has dabbled trading ETFs, (and refuses to touch NFTs), I still always read “ETF” as “NFT” whenever I see it, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. :(

My understanding is the only Australian breakdancing professional women who are better than her don’t have citizenship, so cannot compete.

Yes, that’s the theory, but it also has the side effect of making banks richer, because all the money that would be flowing out inflating the economy is now flowing into the banks inflating their stores.

Motorola (technically owned by Lenovo now, but even some of the Lenovo phones are great).

I have this one. It’s the best Android calculator I’ve used.

I love the widget feature. You can add a whole calculator to your home screen, I have it taking up my second page, so whenever I need a calculator I swipe across once and it’s there.

Yep, perfectly average.

How the heck is he 25? Dude has bushy old-man eyebrows and greying hair. He looks 55, not 25.

“We’re here about the homicide. Where’s the body?”

“Nope, ain’t nothing here except 60 litres of strawberry smoothie”.

It mentioned in the article that Meizu already has a phone with capacitive pads instead of buttons, screen-based speaker, 18w wireless charging and no USB port.

That’s why generally they’ll use the term “street value” for these kinds of descriptions. That means it’s worth that amount because that’s what people are willing to pay for it.

Kristen Bell played Anna in Frozen, did not sing “Let it go”. That was by Elsa, played by Idina Menzel.
