I just picked up a couple of "flamed titanium" pocket clips, and I love the look of them. I've always been attracted to the blue-on-black color combo for most things I own, and I love the way the color pops on my Vision FG!
I've noticed, however, that even the slightest touch from my fingers will dull the shine and really mutes the color. It comes right back with a simple wipe on the clip with any dry cloth, but it's a little annoying just how well this finish attracts skin oils.
I was thinking about picking up some flamed ti scales to go with this, but after seeing how quickly the color fades after being touched, I'm not sure how I'd feel about an entire handle with that finish.
At what point do we declare this a coup? This isn't what even the most diehard conservatives out there voted for, I don't understand how this isn't considered a hostile takeover.
While this is a good move, I don't think John Mastodon was making anywhere near the kind of money to turn into the next Musk or Zuck to begin with.
Maybe the leopards started with the eyes.
"At no point did I indicate my position, nor did I ask the responders to do anything that they would not, had not, or have not done for anyone else who makes a business dispute call."
What the fuck is even a "business dispute call"? The police are not supposed to be involved in "business disputes" at all. If he thinks his deputies are supposed to speed through city streets to placate some Karen at Burger King, then he's beyond educating and should just be removed from his position.
Remember the video of him getting into a fight with some teenage girl just a few days before he killed those people? The video they wouldn't let the jury see because it might show that Rittenhouse was an escalation-seeking rage-aholic? The video that his spokesperson has definitely seen?
Yeah, he was never disillusioned. He knew who this bastard was all along. He just stopped making money off the kid, is all.
Ask your vet what they think about a vegan diet for your pets. They will tell you "no". That should really be the end to the discussion, but I guess these guys think they know better than actual experts.
The API-based deletion tools usually have to be tuned to delete posts slowly enough to not trigger Reddit's abuse detection. Otherwise, they'll automatically undo bulk changes like that.
There's no way I can manually edit and delete all of my content with the snail's-pace reddit UI
This is, unfortunately, the only way to guarantee that your posts stay deleted. My account was 15 years old. I still log in every few weeks or so to go manually delete more comments. It'll be a while.
I mentioned this in another thread, but this only applies to their "Team Pixel" ambassador program. Those aren't actual reviewers, they're contracted by Google's PR firm, specifically to promote their product line. They're not coming after MKBHD and the likes with this. This is just part of their sponsorship agreement.
Worst case scenario in this situation is a few lifestyle vloggers will stop getting free phones.
I don't mind there being an emoji for cryptocurrency. It's a relevant thing in modern society whether we like it or not, so there's no reason it should be excluded. But just not Bitcoin, specifically. Even though Bitcoin is the one that kicked off crypto, it's still a brand name, which would result in auto-rejection according to the Unicode Consortium's guidelines.
If there was a more general-purpose icon/symbol that could represent cryptocurrency in general, that'd be more appropriate. But it can't be Bitcoin.
From noplace's FAQs: *
do you collect my data?
we use your phone number as a way for you to sign up and log into the app. that's the only thing about you we collect.
we don't share your number or anything else about you with third parties like some other apps do. we want you to be able to securely log in and chat with ur friends, that's it.
Emphasis mine. Now their privacy policy: *

So, it looks like they're starting off with lies right at the top, like every other tech startup.
EDIT: To also address the "we don't share your number or anything else about you with third parties" part, the privacy policy also outlines exactly how they will share your data with third parties:
We may share Your personal information in the following situations: [...] With business partners: We may share Your information with Our business partners to offer You certain products, services or promotions.
Go fuck yourselves, noplace.
EDIT: Another issue I just found with their FAQs:
is this a crypto thing?
wut? no.
I thought it was weird that crypto would be a frequently-asked question for what appears to otherwise be a pretty generic-looking social network. Then I found that noplace's parent company, Islands XYZ, was originally launched to be an NFT platform of some sort, financially backed by our old friend Alexis Ohanian.
So they're totally not a crypto thing. Definitely not crypto. 100% something other than crypto.
Guys, I swear they're not a crypto thing.
This 100% reads like LLM output; it's confidently wrong, isn't using proper news copy syntax, and got weirdly vague as it trailed off ("the small device").
