Ok I have to ask. Are you trolling and is it actually a porno cartoon parody?

cordlesslamp ,

Is it just me or does that look creepy AF?

cordlesslamp ,

I can eat all that in one sitting.

cordlesslamp ,

Imma do this with my son, right now in 2024.

Thanks, now my weekend is fully booked.

How is it Thatcher's fault? I'm genuinely curious.

I learned that Hong Kong is under British control because it's a leasing contract that last 99 years (from 1898 to 1997). So when the time comes it's nobody's fault that Hong Kong went back to China. Because China at the time would never extent the contract or even except negotiations.

The advantage of iMessage is SMS fallback when you don't have internet access.

While we're at the matter, could you recommend a small woofer that's not break the bank but good enough for music (no genre in particular, I listen to all kind of stuff).

cordlesslamp ,

Old Logitech are great. New Logitech are cheap craps.

Kurzgesagt make me understand this meme.

It make me really sad when I learned that James and Adam were not friend.

James said their relationship doesn't really extend beyond the show.

cordlesslamp ,

Yeah, I'm sorry English is my second language, sometimes I'm confused how names are spelled.

Couldn't they just buy the tape? I'm sure the audio quality is gonna be shit tier recording like that.

In my entire life I've spent less than $50 in micro-transactions.

I don't think house spider eat cockroaches. I would worship them if they could.

ngl, I think millipede is kinda cute. I'm thinking about building a terrarium tank and keep a few of them as pet.

Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough ( www.xda-developers.com )

There were a number of exciting announcements from Apple at WWDC 2024, from macOS Sequoia to Apple Intelligence. However, a subtle addition to Xcode 16 — the development environment for Apple platforms, like iOS and macOS — is a feature called Predictive Code Completion. Unfortunately, if you bought into Apple's claim that...

They could just raise the prize to $198 and slap another 4GB of RAM on it.

cordlesslamp ,

EV are much heavier than petrol cars, maybe the offset weight will help regain some grip? Normal tires wear out so fast on EVs.

cordlesslamp ,

LOL that scandal is so funny, and I somewhat find it clever too.

Can't focus on the moon? Just slap a PNG on it bro :))

cordlesslamp ,

I fucking love correctly used POV memes.

cordlesslamp ,

TIL, there's Inside Out 2.

cordlesslamp ,

It looks like 4PM outside, what do you mean "dinner"?

cordlesslamp ,

Usually we let the baby having his meal first (he is 8 months old), when everything is said and done, we put the baby to sleep. Then we have our dinner in peace or do whatever we want.

That being said, I just thought it's super early outside based on your picture. What you're saying is totally reasonable and I completely agree.

cordlesslamp ,

Why idiots think they can just walk up to a wild animal (regardless of sizes) and do whatever they want?

cordlesslamp ,

I feel your pain. 9 years ago I dropped my Intel CPU into the socket. One magnifying glass, a tweezer, some toothpick, and a week later it was up and running for 8 years, until I moved and leave it in a cardboard box for 6 months. Now it's just boot looping after the CPU fan spin for a few seconds.

Obviously it's the landlord who do it for profit. It's not like the tourist just came to the city and shove the residents out of their own home or something like that.

All this would do is shift the profits to hotel chains. The rent will never go down and the landlord will never sell.

when I was little, my dad had a parrot that can rip apart his metal cage. We have to replace his cage 2-3 times every year.

Years ago I read somewhere that they discovered a way to remove something from the blood and make it universal, like eliminate blood type all together.

Wonder how that research going?

cordlesslamp ,

And then there's the used cars market, so easy to search and buy with multiple online tools, services, and websites.

cordlesslamp ,

To a little kid, it's a whole different perspective. Peer pressure is an ugly thing. Your kid can feel ashamed or insecure just because their friends goes to Disney and they're not.

Make sure they understand that too, not just yourself.

cordlesslamp ,

How old are you? Different times, different perspective, different issues.

Each generations have its own issues.

Back in the 90s, if one kid doesn't have a Gameboy he's happy to watch other kids play. But now, if one kid doesn't have the stupid Stanley Cup, they're targeted for bullying.

You can't assume your own experience and emotions is the same as everyone else.

cordlesslamp ,

Usually your friends isn't the one who's done the bullying.

Bullies exist in every generations and ages, and they don't need a whole lot of reasons to bully someone else.

cordlesslamp ,

Or spend way too much time at it.

cordlesslamp ,

You're misspelled BRIBE.

Why would they invented a plugs that's not grounded? (Type A and C)

I fucking hate it because my country's default plugs is type C. Caused me so much trouble in damaged electronics, shocked, and the effort to make a grounded line for each individual electronics myself.

cordlesslamp ,

my pc case shocked me when I touched it, not a huge shock like live wires but enough for you to feel a little pain (like static shock on winter day). My phone charger also shocked me the same way when i touched the metal part of the USB head.

cordlesslamp ,

Hi, so should I just grounded the neutral wire from the fuse box (the one that goes from the pole into the house) instead of running a ground wire to each devices?

cordlesslamp ,

It's a $80 GAN charger from Ugreen and the C-to-C cable that came with my iPhone.

I would be a big sad chump if it's a faulty brick. But thanks, I'll find a way to troubleshoot that.

If I have a USB powered device, could I leave it plugged into a portable power bank (like the kind you charge your phone with) as a power outage backup?

Basically as the title says. We have semi frequent power outages where I live. The noise machine in my daughter's room goes out and wakes her up. If I were to buy a USB powered one, plug it into a power bank like one of those 10000ma ones you get for charging cell phones, would it have continuous power. Basically like a cheap...

cordlesslamp , (edited )

That's old power banks from decade ago. Majority if not all reputable powerbank brands now have charge passthrough.

Some will charge your device to full first, then disconnect the device and charge itself second.

Some will slowly charge both the device and the powerbank itself (I emphasize the Slowly part, probably at 5V 0.5A).

For OP, look for something on the packaging that indicates it have the mentioned above function.

HOWEVER! No good powerbanks will work as a UPS. Because they have built-in protection that will disconnect the power when fully charged or turn itself off when the plugged in devices is full.

I said "good powerbanks" because cheap, no-name one doesn't have those protections and will keep on trickle charging both itself and the devices, which is really bad.

Also, as a rule of thumb, you DO NOT want to plugged in your lithium battery at all times and keep it at 100%. That's the recipe for disaster waiting to happen.

A cheap or 2nd-hand acid-battery UPS can be bought for as little as $30-$50 on Ebay, even the smallest one will be capable of powering the noise machine for days.

cordlesslamp ,

No, it's the customers who's gonna be fucked

cordlesslamp ,

Taylor Swift have more chances winning than Harris tbh.

cordlesslamp ,

LOL Taylor Swift is indeed a force of nature, or at least can summon one at will.

cordlesslamp ,

Umm, lovebombing?

cordlesslamp ,

You fool. That's what Big Milk wanted you to believe.

cordlesslamp ,

Yeah, it's the Doppler effect that creates those cool sounds from the bystanders perspective.

cordlesslamp ,

My sweat will ruin any white fabric after the first or second wear.

cordlesslamp ,

If you can't tell that's intended as a joke then I have some bad news for you.

cordlesslamp ,

GOD DAMNIT! For the first time, the stupid American date format is more interesting.

6/12/24

cordlesslamp ,
