The convenience you required is now mandatory.

I assume I will forget to make myself a cakeday meme like I did every year I was on Reddit. Seems appropriate as a celebration.

Are government photo IDs given to all citizens in the UK?

SacredHeartAttack, 11 days ago

Ooof. I ended up digging into the article. So this clown passes a law requiring photo IDs to vote, neglects to add military veteran ID cards to the approved list, then forgets his own ID when going to cast his own ballot? Seems dumb.

Unfortunately the clowns running my country do the same stupid stuff at such a rate that I can’t pay attention to other country’s politics as much as I’d like.

I knew he was PM and disliked but I didn’t know about the voting act. Crazy stuff.

I do this too, thankfully I work from home. No has to listen to me but my cat.

This record was released in 2001. A few years pre-iPod.

I would buy ANY political stance Drummer is selling.

This movie is absolute masterpiece. It will always deserve more credit than it gets.

As a musician who has been following this closely for a while, it keeps getting worse and worse. Musicians of my status have less and less opportunities to make a living off of our art in a world that is becoming increasingly easier to produce and distribute in. I’ve done this a long time and have had moderate success in the past. It’s to the point now though that the ways I THOUGHT musicians made money was never available to me, and the way we DID make money when I started almost doesn’t exist anymore either.

It’s not the hardest of sci-fi and ultimately there’s isn’t a ton in the narrative specifically about this, but there’s some really interesting stuff in The Expanse series (book, not show) that touches on this kind of thing.

Ummm it’s hard to do without giving up a wonderful 9-book, 7 or 8 novella plot, but I’ll do my best. It’s ultimately a space opera, but the ideas explored are well thought out and intriguing. I don’t think it really gets as deep into what you’re looking for as you’d like but it’s still a wonderful book series.

Future humans, in our solar system, lots of political intrigue between the powers of the UN (all of earth), the Martian Congressional Republic, and the Outer Planets Alliance (people of the asteroid belt, less of a govt, more of a political movement). Someone finds what might be alien life or alien technology (possibly sitting for a billion years in outlets solar system), and the rest is what happens to humans in the wake of that.

The tech itself gets into possible collective consciousness, planet-sized carbon crystal data storage and quantum entanglement. Along with things like worm hole technology and heavily bending (but not really breaking) the laws of physics.

It’s all written with VERY sound scientific thought behind every little nuance of the story and all the tech involved.

I’ve kinda dealt with this before. I also find it crazy you can’t just turn Focus off with a switch. What I learned was that embracing Focus helped me.

Go into the Focus settings. Turn off Share and Focus Status. Then just add yourself a preset with no people or apps silenced (unless you want some), turn smart activation off (or don’t if you want to use it), and you can now set that Focus.

You can take this a few steps further. For example I have 3 settings. One for a loud phone that I don’t miss calls or notifications on, a quiet phone for when I don’t need the alerts to be so loud, and a sleep mode where the only notifications I get are calls from family. I made shortcut buttons (the Shortcuts App is kinda powerful) for each mode using a widget on my home screen, and now I can switch to any one I want whenever. You can also long hold your lock screen, and edit your Wallpaper (background appearance and widgets on the lock screen). This setting can be linked to each Focus mode you’ve made. So you can easily link your phone’s appearance to a mode so you know when they’ve changed.

I’m not so sure. When I look at that menu, I only see the options for a Focus.

Upon another check, yes. If you go to that menu, and press the selected Focus, it turns off. I guess I never tried that.

Why this list was ever sealed to begin with is beyond me.

Oh weird, that projecting thing again.

Yeah that’s the thing, search results seem to end up just melting into every key cap ever after a couple of pages. I get that’s the nature of searching for something I want to purchase but hot damn is it annoying.

SacredHeartAttack, 4 months ago

It does, but I’ve seen these and they are nice but not what I’m looking for. Thanks either way!

Weirdly, I am days fresh from a vasectomy.

I don’t, of course. “Sir, this is a meme”
