You’re forgetting getting into the car, where that jumps to a -5pts for a few min.
Addv4@lemmy.worldto Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Aux doesn't belong on smartphones anymore.English1·9 days agoDepends on what you’re doing with them. If I’m listening to music and want fidelity, I use wired headphones (also with my Xperia 1 v), but if I’m at the gym I much prefer my Bluetooth headphones as they’re generally easier to keep in my ears for long periods of time. Just a point of reference though, I’m not recommending the airpods style of Bluetooth headphones, I’m talking the older style wired connecting the two earpods and when you’re not using them, they magnetically join together around your neck. They’re actually pretty decent with Bluetooth 5.2, can get a couple of days of battery life and charge quickly over USB c if they’re low.
Addv4@lemmy.worldto Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Aux doesn't belong on smartphones anymore.English15·10 days agoI feel this is a very good unpopular opinion, as I think a lot of the annoyance about the fair phone not having a headphone jack is that they bill themselves as a sustainable phone maker who prides themselves as reducing waste and increasing repairability of their devices, something that dongles kinda fly in the face of from an ewaste perspective.
The same target group that they are aiming at generally likes stuff like expandable storage (so that they don’t have to upgrade devices just to hold all their photos and stuff) and having a dead simple headphone jack so they can use one of the oldest standard ports in the world to use their headphones.
Since most newer phones have multiple days worth of battery life, I’m more than willing to sacrifice a few hours worth of runtime (maybe even a days worth) just to have a headphone jack. And you could say that I am in the minority of phone users, which is apparently true, however I’d argue I am pretty solidly in the target demographic for a fairphone, which I’m not getting due to the lack of a headphone jack. I instead, got a Sony Xperia 1 V (stupid name for a very nice phone) which offered a 3.5 mm, expandable storage, and decent repairability.

Addv4@lemmy.worldto Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•Everything we know about the 2026 Nissan Leaf2·16 days agoI’m a little more forgiving with the bolt because it isn’t that much bigger, and it isn’t completely fugly anymore.
Addv4@lemmy.worldto Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•Everything we know about the 2026 Nissan Leaf101·16 days agoWhy did they have to make it a Murano? The only thing I thought was nice about the original leaf was that it was smaller than most electric cars.
It really depends on what you want to do. If you’re trying to build muscle, lifting weights and a little bit of cardio will make you strong and feel just generally better (less mental fog, have more energy, etc). You can generally get a good deal of the benefits if you’re just starting out at home, provided you are actually being consistent with your workouts. Workout clothes are much more comfortable than just wearing a pair of jeans and working out, plus they won’t chafe if you get them wet from your sweat. A lot of the reason I have a gym membership is that it provides an incentive to actually get my money’s worth by going to the gym (I am rather cheap), thus I’m less likely to not workout. I think we all remember how awful gym time at school was, but a paid for gym is a much better environment, as you can go take a shower after rather than having to be sweaty in your clothes for the rest of the day, or even just working out at home with the opportunity to shower after sweating.

If you point at sanity, a lot are gonna say, “that’s just what the liberals want!” and go the opposite way even if it is blatantly stupid.

Addv4@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What are some good places/activities where a middle-aged man can make new friends?51·22 days agoBook club or maybe even some sort of 3d printing meetup? I’ve always found that the people that are interested in those probably would hit the other items on your list.
Got it and it did. Thanks again!
Addv4@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do fancy cars look fancy and cheap cars don't? Can't you just slap a Lamborghini-style chassis onto a lawnmower engine if you want?81·24 days agoIt depends on the frame and the ideals of the manufacturer. You can make a sports car with essentially an economy motor from the same brand (Miata, MR2) or maybe a reliable engine from another (Lotus with Toyota engines), but largely it comes down to if the brand wants to spend money to do it.
I’d love Golf with your friends if you have it available, thank you!
As for good gaming memories, I’ve been meeting with some out of state friends for movies and games on discord for the last couple of years, and I’ve had many a moment having fun just doing stupid stuff playing raft (we went through the whole game, it took about 6 months with our schedules constantly changing). I think one of the funniest memories I have was trying to use the snowski in that game, as one of my friends uses audio controls to play and she was constantly running off without meaning to and being unable to control the snowski gave us all a good 15 min just chasing her.
Golf with friends looks like it might offer some fun to the group as well, thanks in advance.
Make more opossum-like maybe, but I think it’s still otherwise fine.
