My Apple Card is expiring this summer, and the replacement physical card arrived in the mail today. Activating was super-duper easy—just bring it in close proximity to your iPhone and tap a button or two on screen. Done.

But what do I do with the old card? It's titanium so it's not easily destroyed.

I've had metal Amex cards since 2010 or so. When Amex sends a replacement card, they include a return envelope custom made for mailing them your expired card for recycling.

@gruber if you save enough of these you can maybe build the cockpit for the Phoenix in time for it’s inaugural warp flight.

My iPhone keyboard is haunted. I can type a word, let’s say “my” and it shows as my, and I keep typing and I swear it still says “my” and then I hit post and it becomes “your”. True story.

@jilleduffy it gets more complicated when everyone in the house is works remotely.

Medical professionals still think that slapping on a medical mask will magically remove all virus from the air - like viruses spread like alpha radiation as opposed to like smoke from a cigarette.

“Would you like me to put on a mask?”

“Sure - if you also flush the air out of this room like you are blasting the alien queen out the airlock”

Is it time to start designing and making our own fascism-compliant N95 level masks?

@thepoliticalcat a mask that no cop will be able to accuse you of hiding your face - or a mask that is cop-approved. So yes?

    Just got off the phone with my parents and it’s amazing how prevalent the myth of immunity debt has become. Sad.

    andymoose,
    @andymoose@mastodon.social avatar

    @masukomi a made up term since 2021 to “explain” why everyone is always sick now - the claim was that because people didn’t get infected with stuff during the short time pandemic measures where in place (masking, some isolation, working from home, laughable “lockdowns”) that their immune systems were out of practice so the solution was to “catch up” on every pathogen until you reached equilibrium again. Which is complete nonsense and based on wishful thinking.

    I’ve realized it’s physically impossible to demonstrate how to ride a bike when the only bike available is one for 8 year olds. So anyway, he took to it quite well. Sat on it, wore the helmet with no sensory issues, even peddled forward-ish some of the time and steered. Balancing is going to be hard to teach. He’s sort of kind of got the concept of “brakes” but I wouldn’t trust him to use them. #autism

    Why are there so many YouTube channels where it’s two dudebros and they somehow scrape enough money to afford a cybertruck to make a video of. Or is it the same cybertruck and it just gets passed around until everyone has made a stupid video with it.

    This story is a great example of how journalists act like they have amnesia. After 1.5 years of watching Elon run Twitter based on whims and fits of rage, there’s no secret genius reason why he fired the entire supercharger team.

    An exec challenged layoffs now everyone’s gone.

    @gglockner @carnage4life “I feel like Elon is just too smart to screw this up that bad in a rash decision. He must have a plan. Not that I will like the plan, and not that the plan will be good for Tesla owners! But he must have one. Maybe there are 500 engineers in China that we just hired?”

    Aw honey sweetie punkin’ - no.

    @andymoose@mastodon.social avatar

    @jadugar63 @gglockner yep. Late stage capitalism at its best. Why make a good product and sell it when you can just screw the system and make out like a bandit. You don’t need a product anymore - clever financial tricks, some well placed stooges in government and let the good times roll.

    It’s Friday. Here’s to everyone who isn’t living their best life. Who isn’t jet setting off for a long weekend, who can’t drop everything and go anywhere and do anything. To those who are disabled, chronically ill, trapped by the system, trapped at home caring for a loved one, I see you. It fucking sucks. I hope you can find a little time this weekend to do something you like. Whatever that might be.

    Can we agree that “/xs” means “extreme sarcasm” - we are at the point where basic “bronze plan” sarcasm isn’t enough.
