Longevity. Good headphones will have replaceable batteries, cheaper ones can still be opened up to replace them fairly easily. Batteries to fit most earbuds are much harder to source, even if you can open them up without completely destroying them.
If you do your research, a couple of earbuds use button cells that can be replaced with minimal soldering (particularly the Galaxy Buds).
Headphones often also come with a 3.5" removable plug, useful if you want to use them as a computer headset.
Earbuds are generally more acceptable in stores and other places where you need to interact with other people.
So I’ve realized that in conversations I’ll use traditional terms for men as general terms for all genders, both singularly and for groups. I always mean it well, but I’ve been thinking that it’s not as inclusive to women/trans people....
I myself wanted one of those remote controlled air planes. I thought that’s the coolest thing ever. Once I grew up and had the money, I never bought it.
Seriously, open a new tab on your browser NOW and jump on eBay or whatever and buy it. Even if you aren’t surprised by how much fun it still is (which you probably will be), you’ll be able to stop regretting NOT having it. No downside!
Definitely silly, but [person X] is the plaintiff in those cases - United States is the defendant.
You’re looking for case law of the form “United States vs [person X]”, which the sovcits believe is illegal but exists because everyone else doesn’t know to question it.
Apathy is absolutely the problem, but “just” getting out there and voting means replacing them with whatever new asshats the existing donor class selects for you. Actual change is going to require voting, and then getting back out there the next day (and every day thereafter) to hold their feet to the fire through direct action, strikes, organizing, protests, call campaigns, and every other tool at our disposal. Pretending otherwise is almost as much of a disservice as the "voting changes nothing argument.
That said, there is a way of not voting that DOES make a difference. Politicians DO pay attention to the differences between votes for various party members on the same ballot. So if you really can’t stomach voting for someone, voting for down (or up) ballot races and leaving that one office blank tells them their policies are unpopular with voting members of “their own” party - and that WILL scare them in a way that low turnout won’t.
Unfortunately, I drive a ghetto minivan which causes the police to profile me and has caused people in small towns to call the police on me if I am in a public park or in their neighborhood.

And the ICJ didn’t dispute that. They said that the convention the case was brought under defines “financing” as money only, so supplying weapons and training camps doesn’t qualify as “financing”.
A polished nail feels differently in my mouth, which is enough to make me realize I’m doing it and then to stop myself. Here’s my current mani vs one of my first
I kicked the habit for years the same way - the different texture of the polish against my upper lip was a perfect reminder. It’s amazing just how effective that can be.
Hello internet users. Someone in my family is looking to buy a car and wanted some recommendations for a private one. They are looking to buy new, and need Android Auto and CarPlay. I know all new cars suck for privacy by default, but I was hoping someone here could offer some insight as to which cars can be made better and what...
Sorry, but I have bad news for you. Privacy in major car brands no longer exists.
You don’t say where your family member lives, but you might look into smaller regional brands that focus on cheap cars for less overdeveloped areas of the world. Be aware the tradeoff is probably in safety features.
It is looking like eggs are about to go up again and I have a lot of freezer space. There are many ways to do this but I am looking for portion control and convivence for 1 person. Is it better to scramble them or try to freeze as is?
Definitely scrambled. If you freeze as-is, the yolks will gel and remain that way when thawed.
Your other option is water glassing rather than freezing, but that only works with fresh, unwashed egs (not store bought). Also be aware most recipes you will find on the internet are wrong! Proper waterglassing should use Sodium Silicate, not lime lye (Sodium Hydroxide).
Edit: Corrected - see below. Also, be aware that “lye” in older recipes can refer to any basic (as opposed to acidic) solution, and was more commonly potassium hydroxide leached from wood ash rather than sodium hydroxide.
Even more specifically, Calcium Hydroxide is “slaked lime” (also called “pickling” lime, as opposed to the even more caustic “unslaked lime” (Calcium Oxide)

Nope. The math has been done on this many times, and death sentence is more expensive than life without parole. And that’s according to the State’s own numbers.
Even selling them weapons would be an improvement - then they’d at least have a slight financial incentive not to use them indiscriminately. Right now, the US is supplying them for free.
The worst part is knowing the only direction he’d go with a policy change would be the wrong direction and pay them for every missile or bullet they are willing to take.
You don’t need to run an X server on the headless server. As long as the libraries are compiled in to the client software (the GUI app), it will work. No GUI would need to be installed on the headless server, and the libraries are present in any common Linux distro already (and support would be compiled into a GUI-only app unless it was Wayland-only).
I agree that a GUI-only installer is a bad thing, but the parent was saying they didn’t know how it could be done. “ssh -X” (or -Y) is how.
