Ive actually just started to take the time, once a year, to go through all my phone photos, and print out a couple hundred of them and put them in a photo album. I suspect they’ll still be around when me and my iCloud account are long gone

likewise, I've def run into this problem in Europe (several years ago). Some unmanned ticket kiosk for the local train/public transport would invariably only accept credit cards and require a pin, which I would not have. I think

I enjoy scrapple. Fried slices on their own are not too bad, but it really shines as the meat in a breakfast burrito. It’s certainly better than SPAM.

I mean, if it’s Fortran that’s been around since the 70s, it’s probably been around long enough that it is both better vetted for accuracy, and not burdened by “real development” affecting some static mathematical principals that the code i

I don’t think Italian is too far off. The word endings changed, but roots are mostly (all?) the same. If you can read one I think you can pick up the other usually…? Or I guess seminary school will teach you if law isn’t your thing…..

lolol. Clearly it's just degraded service. It seems The Management hasn't approved declaring it an outage, that would just ruin uptime metrics!

It gets tons of press and seems pretty meme-y to hate. But mine of 3 years has no problems and I actually enjoy typing on it quite throughly. More than an other laptop keyboard actually. I’m sure there are at least dozens out there just li

Maybe you would, but most of the “free market” real world out there wouldn’t. Or if they did you can be sure it was a tax write off as a loss at least.

If you think Uber sucks for society, you should have seen taxis before Uber was a thing, my god what a nightmare. I’m willing to bet Uber has saved 10s of thousands of lives from drunk driving accidents alone solely because they made getti

All good thoughts. I think Italy has the soil and weather for goood tomatoes though, so it took off. That said, I think most sauces in Italy are not tomato based. Simple things like Oil and salt is pretty common on pasta (and VERY tasty

I don't think it's fully available, so it's rationed for high risk cases. And it's expensive (much more so than a vaccine, you need an IV and to go sit in a hospital room for awhile)

Absolutely great idea. I do it for hot sauces and beverages. Also recipes and grilling times and stuff too, just take a pic or screen grab, & throw it in the album.
