Sounds about right. I held onto my 16:9 OnePlus 3 until the battery completely gave out in 2023 or so. It was the perfect size, and I hated the 2:1 ones that came after. Tried a OP Nord N200 for about a week but returned it.

Daily driving the Minimal Phone now. It's not the highest resolution by any stretch of the imagination, but it's 4:3 and makes current phones look even skinnier than when I was used to 16:9.

The only thing preventing me from looking into this further is it's yet another tall-skinny phone. I don't know which manufacturer popularized that ridiculous aspect ratio, but I hate them and everyone who followed suit.

I think it's more exhausting to be around a narcissist.

The narcissists themselves seem to feed off of the behavior.

(Generic label used for illustrative purposes)

Instead of having the directions clearly, consistently, and conveniently at the top, it's expects you to unfurl the damn label like a scroll, read through the tiny print until you get to the directions and dosing information.

I've already got a headache. I don't need to be squinting at this tiny text to try to find the one bit of relevant info I need. I just want my headache to go away for a while.

It's not just aspirin, ibuprofen, etc. It seems like everything with a label is like this now.

Yep. They just knocked on Banner's door at a very inopportune time.

CBS cannot contain the online spread of a “60 Minutes” segment that its editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, tried to block from airing.

The episode, “Inside CECOT,” featured testimonies from US deportees who were tortured or suffered physical or sexual abuse at a notorious Salvadoran prison, the Center for the Confinement of Terrorism. “Welcome to hell,” one former inmate was told upon arriving, the segment reported, while also highlighting a clip of Donald Trump praising CECOT and its leadership for “great facilities, very strong facilities, and they don’t play games.”

Weiss controversially pulled the segment on Monday, claiming it could not air in the US because it lacked critical voices, as no Trump officials were interviewed. She claimed that the segment “did not advance the ball” and merely echoed others’ reporting, NBC News reported. Her plan was to air the segment when it was “ready,” insisting that holding stories “for whatever reason” happens “every day in every newsroom.”

But Weiss apparently did not realize that the “Inside CECOT” would still stream in Canada, giving the public a chance to view the segment as reporters had intended.

Critics accusing CBS of censoring the story quickly shared the segment online Monday after discovering that it was available on the Global TV app. Using a VPN to connect to the app with a Canadian IP address was all it took to override Weiss’ block in the US, as 404 Media reported the segment was uploaded to “to a variety of file sharing sites and services, including iCloud, Mega, and as a torrent,” including on the recently revived file-sharing service LimeWire. It’s currently also available to stream on the Internet Archive, where one reviewer largely summed up the public’s response so far, writing, “cannot believe this was pulled, not a dang thing wrong with this segment except it shows truth.”

...

As Americans scrambled to share the “Inside CECOT” story, assuming that CBS would be working in the background to pull down uploads, a once-blacklisted tool from the early 2000s became a reliable way to keep the broadcast online.

On Reddit, users shared links to a LimeWire torrent, prompting chuckles from people surprised to see the peer-to-peer service best known for infecting parents’ computers with viruses in the 2000s suddenly revived in 2025 to skirt feared US government censorship.

“Yo what,” one user joked, highlighting only the word “LimeWire.” Another user, ironically using the LimeWire logo as a profile picture, responded, “man, who knew my nostalgia prof pic would become relevant again, WTF.”

Why YSK? The segment was pulled for clearly political reasons, and the internet does not forget.

Catbox link posted here, so please don't hug it to death. It's also easy to download this one, so consider mirroring it elsewhere. This version was pulled from the Threads post (linked below) and stitched back together into a single video. Someone posted a Youtube link to it yesterday, but YT took it down on copyright grounds.

Don't judge my dinner lol. It was a long day and I wanted something quick and easy. Defrosted the chops, got them ready to coat, and, what's this? No bags? Surely this must be a manufacturing anomaly.

Nope. I go back into the pantry and grab the newer box, open it, and....also no bags.

Had to waste one of the good, gallon-size Ziplocs for this.

How many fractions of a penny did they save (and not pass on to me) by not including the shake bags? Ugh!

Arnold was an engineer, though. He was competent in using the system and not totally lost when poking around the code, but he's no computer scientist. Basically, he was a power user / sysadmin rather than a developer.

I work with several people who would think this is a good idea.

When they push it to prod, and our WAF goes 403 on every request, then suddenly it's my problem to "fix". Eye Roll

The only thing worse than that is emailing them a simple boolean question and then your phone rings.

I've recently learned that in Linux, you can use emois in filenames. I died a ~~little~~ lot inside when I learned that.
