I’m just saying I don’t think the market is going to be big enough for these models to even get close to emptying shelves. Maybe it’s not the right time, I don’t know, I’m just finding it difficult to see any use where people would find it more appealing than the form factors and devices they already have.

I was an adult when touch screens properly took off, and I doubt this is in the same league.

There was some practical purpose to touch screens, whereas this thing is just unnecessary. I doubt it would have the same effect.

I pick the category 'Things no one Asked For", for $25 Mr. Trebek.

I mean, in all fairness I sure do hope I have a bigger penis than my sister.

We have processed boobs now too?! First they went for our chicken nuggets, and we didn’t take notice…

Like many other shows, this one was a product of its time and wouldn’t work today.
Talking, intelligent car decades ago? “Oh wow! Futuristic!”
Talking car today: “hey Google, play Tiptoe Through The Tulips on 120% volume”

Not too long ago I had bought a power bank, for a holiday, and since returning I’ve found myself occasionally using it when I’ve done something a bit worse than this: I’ve been so tired before bed, I’ve forgotten to even plug my phone in!

I think I’ve used the power bank, after waking up, more at home than on holiday.

I was disappointed that the Android “BlackBerry” phones have such a bad keyboard. I still remember the one on my Bold 2, and I absolutely loved the shape of the keys. Touch typing at great speed was a breeze!!

The lack of basic things that used to be standard many years ago. Namely headphone jack and micro-SD card slot missing.

You mean that’s what the hole in the wall was for?

Oh dear…

Google. Hey Google. Is this thing why is this thing typing? Fuck. No don’t say that. Backspace. Google backspace. How do I turn this off? What was that? I told you not to use that door the hinges are loose I’ll get to it I gotta play call of duty first. No I can’t pause it. Is this thing still picking up my voice? Oh for fuck sake

Describe it however you want. If you have a decent barber, they should understand you fine and work with you.
I’ve been shy, straight forward, and all manners of sides when asking for a haircut and the biggest issue has only been the occasional language barrier.

Once you’re comfortable in a style it’ll be easier to use different wording, depending on how you want your style. For example: you most certainly can ask for clipper sizes, like “no. 2 on sides”, however if you don’t know what you want from the top you could just ask them “a bit short but matching the sides, if you know what I mean?”

Some styles have different options, such as skin fades (usually medium or high here, indicating the point where the fade reaches on the side and back of the head). If you’re unsure definitely do not be afraid of asking, if any barber has an issue with working with you they aren’t the barbers you want as they’re likely to rush the haircut regardless of what you say (in my experience), or only know limited styles/lack broader experience in hairdressing.

When I first saw The Lion King in the cinema, my best friend and I couldn’t stop crying at the Mufasa scene.

We were probably taken to a colourful McDonalds, to be cheered up, however we did not use the play room as someone was having a birthday there.

If someone left their PC unattended, I’d quickly change all fonts to Comic Sans.

Some of us can’t be trusted with such power. I would personally use invisibility to switch items in people’s coat pockets. Keys always in the left? Well now they’re in the right pocket!

Total anarchy.

The REAL question is how much beans can I feed to a cat, and why does my house smell really bad?

I’m actually rather thankful for this entire drama, or rather my cats are.
I was ‘this’ close to forgetting some ham for their once in a while treat. Thanks, /c/vegan!

This article has completely missed a selling point of e-readers for people like myself: no constant refreshing.

My eye strain, when reading for a long time, doesn’t come from the light (or lack thereof), which is evident as a positive of backlit Kindles and other e-readers, though the constant flicker of screens. E-ink solves this issue perfectly, and with every device in that article mentioning “60Hz” on their alternatives I feel as though they’ve missed a big point of having an e-reader and what exactly constitutes as “paper like” (it’s a lot more than just “low/no backlight”).

That is very, very different to my situation. Thank you for trying to help, however.

This is rather interesting to me, as I have gut issues where I should be limiting my consumption of red meat. Red meat, specifically beef, in excess gives me rather uncomfortable toilet visits, however completely refraining from any at all causes flare ups in my mental conditions (namely, my depression and CPTSD symptoms are somewhat more exaggerated). It’s at this point where I would crave something like a burger, almost like an addiction that somehow lay dormant until that moment, and my mood is lifted for some time afterwards.

I’m not within the field of science, however I have been noting how my diet affects my gut and mind for many years now, and that’s just what I’ve noticed. It makes sense to me for a study to prove some correlation as well between the gut and brain.
