BigDaddySlim@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the most unexpectedly useful item you've ever bought under $20?English2·2 days agoPut a drink in your cup that you hate, that way you’ll be reluctant to drink it as frequently. So if you hate pineapple juice, fill it up with that!
Buddy, I’ve got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle and I’m going with Veronica to pillage this Vault only to put it’s contents in a locker at home and never touch it again
BigDaddySlim@lemmy.worldto Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•Is the Steam Deck getting outdated soon? Should I wait for the next gen?English2·7 days agoSame, the last roughly 40 hours of my gameplay on the Deck have been PS1/2 and Xbox games, with a few hours of New Vegas sprinkled in.
BigDaddySlim@lemmy.worldto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Toronto is considering raising parking fees and lowering transit fares during concerts and sports games to encourage people to take public transit rather than their carEnglish4·7 days agoBiggest issue for me is the commuter rail leaves South Station no later than like 11:30, so leaving an event that ends late is impossible or very close to impossible. I don’t mind getting home after midnight but if I have to take the subway to South Station first I have to leave early. That’s why I dont bother going to concerts at TD Garden if they’ll run that late. I will not drive into Boston unless I absolutely have to (Microcenter is an exception).
For Valentine’s day we did an event at the Museum of Science for an adults only night, but it ended well within that window so it was fine. That was the latest we took the commuter rail.

BigDaddySlim@lemmy.worldto NonCredibleDefense@sh.itjust.works•my turn to post thisEnglish11·9 days agoThe fact that the wiki states that 2 of the leaks were posted just to win an argument is hilarious to me
BigDaddySlim@lemmy.worldto The Verge@sh.itjust.works•Apple’s USB-C EarPods are an even better buy at just $15.99English1·9 days agoBluetooth mics are and always have been ass. Doesn’t matter if you have Airpods Max or any other expensive set. Nothing beats the quality of even $3 gas station wired buds with a mic. Direct connection is way better. The Earpods aren’t the best audio quality but they’re decent and the mic is great. You don’t have to buy the Apple ones though, any cheap brand well still work better than wireless.

BigDaddySlim@lemmy.worldto Tesla@lemmy.zip•‘Defectively designed’ Cybertruck burned so hot in crash that the driver’s bones literally disintegrated: lawsuitEnglish7·15 days agoIt’s funny, I drove past a dealership (not Tesla) earlier and they had one of those Swasticar Dumpsters. They didn’t have it in the normal line however, it was on one of those lifts that rotate to show the whole car about 30ft in the air. It took me until now to realize they’re not showing it off, they’re keeping it high up away from the better vehicles so it doesn’t immediately burn them down too.
Also it has like 1,500 miles and is marked down to $77k lmao imagine losing all that money on a dumpster.
BigDaddySlim@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•It's Father's Day in the United States. What is a memory of your father that left the greatest impact on your life?English8·18 days agoMy dad wasn’t perfect, but he always did what was best for my mom and I. He worked his ass off doing a number of labor jobs (carpentry, mechanic, electrical, plumbing, etc) and was a jack of all trades. He dropped out his sophomore year in the 70s to help support his parents when his dad had a stroke and just kept working the labor jobs. He was well known enough in the plumbing business that when Disney was planning another hotel they asked for him by name to lead the plumbing project.
When all that hard labor caught up with him and he had his back surgery, it threw him on his ass and disability. He still kept working on stuff after recovering, rebuilt his uncle’s Willy’s he had found, swapping motors out of his truck when he eventually killed it, doing home renovations, everything. All while trying to teach my dumbass some of what he knew so I’d know something useful. I learned a lot from him, but not nearly all of what he knew. He was a stubborn hard ass so he liked things done a certain way and would sometimes get frustrated if I wasn’t doing it right, but never in a “I’m going to scream at you because you fucked up” kinda way.
It took me until he was diagnosed with cancer to realize why he had always been a hard ass and pushing me to do better, he didn’t want me to follow his footsteps and he stuck doing these hard labor jobs, destroying my body like he did his. Sorry that didn’t work out, old man.
It’s not really a particular memory of my dad that impacted me, it’s basically his whole memory of him that did. I’ve had lots of great memories with him, but everything he always did was for his family first, he was very selfless. I wouldn’t be who I am today without my dad.
Happy father’s day, dad. Miss you.

BigDaddySlim@lemmy.worldto Climate Crisis, Biosphere & Societal Collapse@sopuli.xyz•The Scholar Who Predicted America's Breakdown Says It's Just BeginningEnglish27·22 days agoFriendly reminder that Halo 3 is legally an adult this September and that you’re getting old, as am I
Had this problem too (phone number is from NM but I’m in MA now) so I just started messing with them. I’d answer “Federal Bureau of Investigation, Albuquerque district office, how may I direct your call?” Click. After about a week of doing this I haven’t gotten a single spam call, this was like 2 years ago. Who cares it it’s “impersonating a federal agency” or whatever, they’re scammers overseas, fuck em.
BigDaddySlim@lemmy.worldto [Moved to Piefed] Television@lemm.ee•This Is the Real Reason Why Documentaries Are So Popular NowEnglish8·24 days agoAdding to that, there’s so many of these docuseries that are like 4 or 5 one hour episodes when it could easily be condensed to a sub 2 hour film. They just drag it out for no reason.
BigDaddySlim@lemmy.worldto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Boston Mayor Michelle Wu attacked by Political Ads accusing her of supporting Bike Lanes. English12·25 days agoAt this point I didn’t even drive in Boston anymore, I take the commuter rail into the city and subway from there. Why people are acting like that’s an absurd possibility is astonishing to me. Yes, traffic in Boston sucks, but mainly because too many people from outside would rather drive in and complain about the traffic they’re causing than the cheaper and much easier alternative of taking transit into the city. As for the actual residents, there’s great public transportation, just fucking take it. You really wanna pay all that money for parking and vehicle maintenance just to sit at every red light to get somewhere maybe 3 min faster? Get a grip. If I lived in the city the first thing I’d do is sell my car and use my electric assist bike for everything, I already use it to get to work in the Metrowest, you can do it in the city.
BigDaddySlim@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Samsung teams up with Glance to use your face in AI-generated lock screen adsEnglish2·28 days agoYou have to use the Google Play version of OSM for Android Auto, plus tweak a setting or two in the advanced settings of AA. As for the maps itself it’s been fine, I use GPS not Google Play Services for location, so I need to make sure the phone is in clear view of the sky for best results, but it still works in the center console of my car. Just make sure your location services are on before opening OSM or it acts funky.
BigDaddySlim@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Samsung teams up with Glance to use your face in AI-generated lock screen adsEnglish34·29 days agoDid the same thing last September, my S21 Ultra’s battery was getting tired and I was tired of the Samsung bullshit. So far it’s been great and so has battery life, plus it’s a breath of fresh air to only have apps I want installed without needing ADB to remove them after Google/Samsung decides they want them reinstalled every few weeks.
Only downfalls have been my broken banking app (which might be the actual app being broken based on Google Play reviews) and the amount of tweaking I needed to do to get OSM as my default map for Android Auto.
I finally have a phone that actually feels like mine, not just a leased device from the manufacturer.
That was confirmed a while ago actually
