Comment on RIP Cybertruck. You were unloved, unwanted, and utterly absurd. in ~transport
DiggWasCool Link ParentNo, it wouldn't. I mean, look at what happened to the sales of every other Tesla vehicle since his Nazi salute? The sales didn't come to a complete stop. People still love their Tesla cars. Just...I'd bet that if the author wasn't Elon, it would be much more popular in some online circles.
No, it wouldn't. I mean, look at what happened to the sales of every other Tesla vehicle since his Nazi salute? The sales didn't come to a complete stop. People still love their Tesla cars. Just not the truck.

They like the idea of small phones, but don't want to buy one. Over on /r/smallphones everyone wants a small phone, and then the moment one gets announced, they bend over backwards to find something wrong with it.
However, I will say if the Clicks and MP02 are any indicators, people do want these niche phones. People have been asking for a phone with a physical keyboard and from what I've seen so far, both MP02 and Clicks have had a ton of orders. This may also be the case with small phones. It's a tiny community compared to the iPhone/Galaxy/Pixel, but there is a community there.

I figured I'd share with this community since some of you all mentioned wanting a small phone.

Disclaimer: I am not in any way associated with the company, just a fan of small phones (still using my Pixel 5) and someone who really wants this phone to get made.

Everyone who has recommended it thinks it's as good if not better than Breaking Bad or Better call Saul and one person even thought it was as good as The Wire but I just cannot get into it.

Comment on What are you reading these days? in ~books
DiggWasCool Link ParentJust move on to the next book! That's my motto. There are too many great books to waste time reading something I don't enjoy. My strategy is I will give a book two attempts. If I start reading it...Just move on to the next book! That's my motto. There are too many great books to waste time reading something I don't enjoy.
My strategy is I will give a book two attempts. If I start reading it and for whatever reason I'm not into it, maybe I don't like the writing style, maybe I don't like the story if it's fiction, maybe I just can't follow the plot, maybe I find myself having to look up words, phrases, metaphors, or whatever, too often, then I just put the book aside. I'll take a break, maybe a week or two, and then I'll give it another try. And if on the second try I still can't get into it, I just move on and delete (Kindle) or recycle (paper books).

I do still use reddit but I am only subscribed to several very small and niche subs and a few local subs.
I like Tildes mainly because it feels like a small community, it reminds me a lot of reddit circa 2008 or Digg circa 2006.

Comment on Does the dryer shrink your clothes? in ~life

I have several of these button up (dress) shirts which I wear to work. I've had them for a few years now. Suddenly about two months ago, one of them shrunk after a wash and I can't tell why. You can clearly tell that it's smaller compared to all the other shirts from the same store/merchant but one shrunk for some reason.

Comment on What's the oldest piece of clothing you own and still wear? in ~life.style
DiggWasCool LinkI have some clothes from mid 2000s but I don't wear them often. For example, I have a couple of soccer jerseys which I purchased between 2004-2009 when I was playing soccer but I haven't worn them...I have some clothes from mid 2000s but I don't wear them often. For example, I have a couple of soccer jerseys which I purchased between 2004-2009 when I was playing soccer but I haven't worn them since probably 2018. I also have a couple of jackets that I bought at around the same time and I don't wear them often, maybe once a year.
I have lots of clothes from early to mid 2010s and I wear them frequently. For example, I have a few fall/winter button up shirts and I wear them once or twice a month between October-March. I have a pink shirt which I wear once or twice a year. I have a dark shirt and a dark tie which I wear to funerals maybe once every other year which I bought in 2012 when I went to my first ever funeral.
Shoes, on the other hand, nothing is older than 2018. I have a pair of Clarks Chukka boots which I bought in 2018 and I still wear them weekly. I have a pair of dress shoes which I wear to weddings, funerals, job interviews, I think I bought them in 2017.
This is something other people have said as well. Since this thread went up, I asked a few other people about this, and literally not one person was 100% sure whether shawarma had lettuce in it or not.
Everyone said something along the lines of "I know it has meat, I know it has sauce, and usually it has pickled vegetables" and that's it.
