I’ve got one of these. Aka Snowsky echo mini, fiio’s brand aimed at accessible/fun audio. It still has the pedigree of a higher end digital audioplayers, including a nice DAC and 4.4mm balanced output. Its also got a firmware update to be used as an inline DAC.

Qualms: lower end Bluetooth codec and lack of gapless playback.

I wouldn’t use it if Bluetooth was a must, but I’ve enjoyed using it with a cheap pair of IEMs.

I took mine over summer break at my high school (birthday is at the end of the spring semester, so it was either that or wait 3 months). But it was definitely offered as just another class. Midwest, BTW.

Only once, but they caught me and I got fired for being “wildly irresponsible”. It was just for like 15 seconds, the bus barely went off the road.

That’s Montgomery “Lightning” McQueen, you uncultured swine. [/s]

Also his eye is right there drooping under the windshield. He’s definitely seen some better days

As someone who has lived in the Midwest, the biggest distinction is if I’m in a city, a suburb, or rural town. People in cities can’t emotionally afford to be genuine to everybody they meet. Rural folk are suspicious of outsiders, but will help you hide a body if you’re in the group. Suburbians can be a happy medium, at least in my experience.

I think I’m emotionally stunted from years of repressing my feelings. I don’t feel that strongly about most things. A lot of people will comment about how stoic and quiet I am, but it’s not like there’s really too much to express. When I am “upset”, it’s usually because I’m exhausted or hungry.

That being said, in times of catastrophic events (deaths, break ups, etc), I might get upset. But I tend to be very good at expressing myself with words. I take my time and choose them carefully, so much so that sometimes other people will think that im being silent; im not, I’m thinking about all the ways this could play out depending on what I say.

Crying only happens quietly, to myself, maybe once a year, and usually because of some dumb kids movie that gets to me. I think the last one was Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.

The only right answer is that I would save both of them by drowning myself, having them use my corpse as a emergency floatation device. 2 weeks after the occurrence, they would begin smelling brackish water no matter where they are, followed by brief glances of what appears to be a disgruntled boyfriend/son in the corner of the room as I begin to haunt them for asking me such a stupid question.

If my mom asked it, my response would be my girlfriend. If my girlfriend asked it, id say save my mom. If they both asked it, I’d get a beer at the bar and let them both drown. Cause fuck you if you’re going to play those kinds of games with me.

I’m shocked nobody has mentioned Aisleron (https://aisleron.com/), I use it for my semi-monthly shopping. It lets you organize items, and then you swipe it if you’re out of it/need to buy more. You can have different stores set up, and each item will go to the corresponding location in that store.

It basically functions like a database for grocery items with an intuitive interface.

Oh, did I mention it’s FOSS?

It’s both. Judgment is common in North American and British English. Judgement is fine, but not for legal proceedings. https://grammarist.com/spelling/judgment-judgement/

OP, are you okay? You’re not making sense.

There’s a lot of resources out there specifically for it. Depending on use case it may be impossible to 100% degoogle, but every bit helps.

I assume by “being an introvert” you mean you have social anxiety. If so, start out by looking for things you need online, followed by your location. Many local businesses will have some kind of online presence, or at least a Facebook page. Check what businesses those pages follow or interact with. At least that way you’ll gain some background.

Buying local is ideally going to be a more social experience. You will start having to seek out local markets and meeting the people who provide their goods and services. You’ll also find it easier once you visit local places For example, the local brewery here hosts markets. Local supermarkets buy food from (relatively large) local farms. Smaller local farms work directly with local restaurants. It’s all interconnected.

You’re going a little crazy.

Woof, I don’t know if I could do that. I did six during college, and that felt like a big sacrifice.

Not new, but I recently transferred over my balatro game from steam to my android phone after degoogling (the official balatro app needs google play services to work). It means I have to pretty much start over, but it’s been nice re-unlocking the cards and seeing how much better I am now. (Link for those interested: https://github.com/blake502/balatro-mobile-maker )

Also, its not a technology but I recently learned how to darn my socks and that’s been a lot of fun.

Depending on the use case, that may be a benefit. I’m just trying to figure out what that use case would be.

I’m confused at what you’re wanting exactly, particularly the second part. Are you trying to turn a sentence into many languages at once, like “The red car is quick” to “The rojo 車 est schnell”? Just trying to understand the ‘not in a list’ and ‘pull down menu or (…) swap the first option’ part.

I haven’t seen it mentioned in here, but switchel is a favorite of mine. Water, Apple cider vinegar, some kind of sweetener (molasses is traditional), and ginger. Pretty easy to make a pitcher of during the summer. Tart, and hits the spot in the summer. You can also utilize a shrub for some NA mocktails.

Ancient Egypt, if memory serves correctly. Butchers used to have essentially platform shoes with heels to avoid putting their feet in pools of blood. It was on QI, so take it with a grain of salt.
