Sharing etymological roots in pairs is particularly true when it comes to the word for "raspberry": For example, Lithuanian avietė & Latvian avene. it comes from Proto-Balto-Slavic *áwis "sheep", because to them, raspberries resembled sheep.
In Germanic #languages, like English, this #berry derives its name from its vivid blue hue. But is #blue the color associated with #blueberries in other languages?
This is a special summer only flavor that's around for a limited time.
Probably Crown Royal's best flavor of all time. It just smells so damn good right in the bottle. The taste is amazing. You can certainly taste the sweetness and the bitterness of the blackberries mixed perfectly with the Crown itself.
I've heard #cybersecurity experts often say that passwords are more secure than #biometrics, one of the reasons being that you can change your #passwords if it ever gets leaked but you can't change your biometrics. However one of the major downsides of using a password/pin for your lockscreen is that someone could simply look over your sholder to figure out your #password. These so called over-the-shoulder attacks are more common than you may think and the presence of #surveillance cameras everywhere makes the situation worse because now you could be recorded typing in your password!
So because of all these reasons I had mixed feelings about using a password/pin and tent to use biometrics whenever possible. But my opinion about passwords changed entirely after watching this 9 year old video on YouTube showing how to use the "picture password" feature on a #BlackBerry device - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gef7kehpedA
The ingenuity of this system not only prevents over-the-shoulder attacks but is also fast & easy to use! I'm actually quite surprised that this never caught on to other devices because it really seems like a smart and easy solution to a common problem. Thanks to @sr for mentioning this on your #podcast or else I would've never known about this technique.
I hate sounding like the old guy in the room when I say things like "phone design used to be more fun". I mean, I AM the old guy in the room, but I hate SOUNDING like the old guy complaining about new tech.
Frosted gradients. Laser etched glossy. Bold primary color polycarb. Metal and leather. Different form factors and features... Sigh...

This is a Necropost - rescued from AudioBoo and transcribed by AI because I'm lazy. Hello there, AudioBoo. I'm just in the middle of another grand phone experiment. I'm moving back to BlackBerry. Yes, after about a year, year and a half of being an Android Boy, it's time to go back to BlackBerry. So I've picked up the Torch, which is the slider and I'm having mixe…
