Yeah, it's not like doing that is unprecedented. We all knew what these were supposed to be:

uhh.... wouldn't that trigger all sorts of https certificate failures?

Hey just wanted to comment about the EMT rescue part:

US sold vehicles can have laminated side windows that don't shatter open, and it's been a huge educational issue for years because people are using traditional window breakers on them in emergency situations and the tool won't open them. It's only gotten worse since that article, as auto manufacturers are installing more laminated side windows to prevent ejection during a rollover event.

Might want to check if your vehicle has them. Best list I could find was from 2019.

I carried an LG phone with 4" screen for YEARS. Way beyond what was considered safe for Android. It just fit so well in the pocket. I kept expanding the storage with larger SD cards. Also replaced the battery, since it wasn't glued together.

We used to call extra large phones phablets.

...but all phones got so large that there was no reason to use a different word. Look how much bigger a base Pixel 11 is compared to that 2013 HTC:

An extra large phone is just any phone.

All the ones I could see on ea's website made it to GOG, which I don't think allows launchers tied to accounts, so it's possible they don't.

As somebody who fell for a clearance Vizio TV, the option to "just not connect your TV to the internet" is not available for my Vizio.

The TV will randomly power itself on asking for an internet connection. It will interrupt other connected devices to start internet setup. It will refuse any HDMI-CEC controls until you retrieve the Vizio remote to cancel the setup process.

AVOID VIZIO. full stop.

ESRB is not a government entity. It's a US game industry rating board.

As long as whoever you are trading to accepts that it is Japanese only, there should be no problems at all. My local game shops have a section for imports that people trade-in.

That's what the movie is. All the cutscenes, none of the battles. 5.5 hours of cutscenes to catch up.

I was really hoping for more of a longer summary to read instead. But maybe I just need to put aside a whole evening and power through.

I'm going to try to get back into Final Fantasy X.

Only problem is... my file is 20 hours into the game. It just didn't click for me at the time. I stopped at where you have to dodge lightning.

It's been a few years since I dropped it and I want to avoid the 20 hours of replay, but also don't remember the previous story to resume. I tried the movie but it'd be 5.5 hours to catch back up (and it's dubbed). I also tried wikipedia but that was too concise.

I haven't found a good middleground to catch up yet.

Yeah, I completely avoided a large portion of the DS library because of the gimmicks. And unless you are directly referring to somebody's favorite game, most people agree the DS was flush with gimmicks.

I distinctly remember purchasing Star Fox Command, and really enjoying it... until I found out they removed the ability to fly through rings. You could only fly through a ring if you took your hands off the controls and scratched up your touchpad really fast. Mmm.... nah, that ain't for me. Probably why I adopted PSP so fast after loving the GB/GBC/GBA.

Yeah I was taught only to call someone "Miss" if she is 100% confirmed single otherwise it's an insult. So I never use it.

I didn't know "Ma'am" was an insult for old people.
