Mmmm. You’re taking “company spokesperson” at face value there.

Let’s be real though, a meeting of highly paid, highly skilled people came up with that response then it was sanitised through three more filters before reaching our eyes.

That’s OK. You’re doing the best you can. Try to go easy on yourself.

Welcome.

That is one of the core tenets of fascism though. Simple sound bites for simple people. Repeat until absorbed.

Were you watching it live? Or is it on the internet somewhere?

€18 euro clown costume with €2 face paint for one. €3 cat in the hat costume from the school (which does costume recycling for money) for the other. They both looked great.

Yeah very true. It all has to be viewed through the ol’ historic lens.

Fascinating read. Thanks. I wish them luck.

Does anyone know of any examples of politicians swinging hard in the opposite direction?

I just learned today that Hitler was a lefty in his early days. True story.

He was always anti-Semitic though. That wasn’t unusual for the times however.

Someone describing themselves as a tree hugging progressive railing against supporting society’s most vulnerable can go and fuck themselves with a fishing rod though.

Update:

how many black lines are on the aux you’re plugging in?

There were only 2. I unplugged the aux cable but left the USB to aux in and the mic is still tied to it unfortunately.

Thanks for your help. Looks like I’m a little goosed.

I absolutely pissed myself laughing at the family guy Irish heritage museum skit. I am Irish so your mileage may vary.

The bit with the lady giving birth wrecked me. My stomach hurt.

Honestly this is magnificent. 🤡

Nice one. This sounds like a good option. I’ll check in a bit.

Oof. What in ignominious end for our old pal. :(

He did?!?

Fucking baffles me how people think appeasement works. EU did it and immediately got fucked. Get the trade war over and done with lads.

OnePlus claim it’s not and a quick search does back that up. For the one specific to my phone they move a chunk of the work off the device (reducing heat on the phone) and onto the charger. It’ll still charge normally with any USB charger but it gets much hotter and is much slower compared to the OnePlus “warp” charge.

Yeah, a friend of mine made a similar argument and I hear it. Personally I’m always right beside a fast charger so it’s not an issue for me.

My phone has an option to auto-stop charging at 80% so I use that. I will occasionally charge it to 100% but like maybe once a month. TBH if it had an option to stop at 90% I’d probably use that as a middle ground (my steam deck does and I use 90% with it). I got 5 years out of my last phone and I’m 3 years into the current one and hoping to get many more out of it.

edit:

Personally I charge to about 95% and my phone batteries remain at 98-100% condition after 2 years of everyday use.

That’s a good reference point, cheers. Do you not find it a pain to monitor that though?

For anyone wondering what “10,000 lifetime cycles” means, it’s full charge / discharge to the point that the batteries are at 80% of original capacity so 10,000 is to me an absolutely incredible number.

A typical phone battery is rated for about 500 (you can massively improve this by not charging it beyond 80%).

Sounds like you’re crushing it! Well done and good luck with the Baccalaureate!
