Cornball was the Pangram in the NYT spelling bee the other day. This was my first thought.

You can get good 2nd hand cook books for insanely cheap (compared to new) from op shops/thrift. It’s one of a few things that are still decent value on the 2nd hand market.

Ya that’s a good one. Still give that album 10/10 tho.

Modest Mouse - Pistol

It’s a classic song to hate on by fans. I don’t mind it now, but it’s pretty abrasive.

Youtube video titles that have been really bugging me lately (as they have become increasingly common) are the weirdly negative ones. Like, “THIS is why you suck at >insert your hobby here<”. It’s annoying because the video could raise a good point, but fuck, dont frame it by negging me. If I’m searching for videos on that topic, I want help, not put-downs.

Fair point about the sprongs. But. Coz phones are so big, when phone+dongle is in my pocket it often puts a lot of pressure on the USB. Which A, doesnt seem good and B, can easily cause the jack to very slightly disconnect and pause the song. Also, when the sprongs fail on the dongle it starts doing crazy shit like play/pausing song or adjusting volume.

I’d need to buy like 3 more dongles in that case…

I’d much rather just have an audio jack on my phone.

Did that. Still annoying. Have to bring it everywhere. Will wear out the Usb C jack faster (pretty hard to wear out an audio jack tho). Can’t charge and listen to audio.

I compared a tonne of flagship smart phones not that long ago. The Sony Xperia series was the only one to still have an audio jack. They’re quite expensive tho, so ended up with a phone sans the jack. I miss it dearly.

Spunds like you need Super Hearing Pro. Now with the additional upgrade of in built ear-plugs.

News articles with dynamic scrolling that like, gradually reveal a graph and drip feed text. Just show me the fucking graph and text. Fuck.
