Context: I have an iPhone 14 and I drive a 2012 Fit. The Fit first gen came with a USB port that connects to the stereo.

When I connect my phone to the stereo in my car, 4/5 times the iPhone will launch the Music app, and play the first track in my library. That’s been true for quite some time (since iPhone 7 at least.) I listen to podcasts on a non-Apple app, and I listen at 1.5x speed. Since the iPhone 12, when I disconnect the phone from the car or turn the car off, there’s a 9/10 chance Music will start playing, at 1.5x speed. This clearly has something to do with Core Audio and the old dock connection system in iOS, and it will almost certainly not be addressed because it’s only going to affect older cars that don’t have 3rd party CarPlay stereos installed, and Apple only cares about CarPlay now.

Here’s the real question: is that the actual MC 900 ft Jesus or just someone who likes the name?

Don’t even joke about that. Cats are obligate carnivores, they can’t survive on beans. If you must, let them eat the children.

A sandwich I used to make when I worked at a deli. Pastrami, turkey, and provolone, melted, on a toasted onion roll with coleslaw and Russian dressing.

I would argue it’s actually congealed demon jizz but it’s definitely not fucking chocolate.

B is for people who live where there’s no alternative, like small towns where Walmart undercut every other business and is now the only game in town. If you live in a place like that, steal from Walmart. If you live in a place where you have one store doing dynamic pricing and another that isn’t, go to the place that isn’t doing it.

Just refuse to go anywhere that does dynamic pricing (if possible.) Steal from places that do it (if possible.)

The Dollop: now with 90% less child murder than Behind the Bastards!

Apparently if you watch the replay it’s clear that he had already failed his attempt before his bulge hit.

That’s what I heard from friends who were watching, they said it was a massive improvement over the last Games.

Technically not an Olympics photo. She’s an Italian gymnast who does promo for Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. That’s an ad she did.

Brunch: Asian pork and rice Dinner: Korean hibachi (an irresponsible amount of meat) with traditional sides (kimchi, broccoli, japchae, bean sprouts, etc.)

Superhuman charisma.

I was cautiously optimistic about Harris before, now I’m regular optimistic. Walz seems like a good dude who will appeal to working class voters, having been a schoolteacher and a union member, and able to be folksy with a genuine-ness that DJT and JD couchfucker couldn’t muster in a dozen lifetimes.

Primarily children. Consider a situation where one member of a married couple is unwilling or unable to engage in sexual contact but is otherwise a good partner and coparent. Divorce is traumatic for children and has a significant negative economic impact, life with single parents is also difficult. So the parent who still wants sex seeks it elsewhere. They are fulfilling an important aspect of their life, and preserving a healthy home life for their children and partner.

Sometimes ending the relationship will harm third parties, but the core relationship is harmful to one or both of the people in it. In a case like that cheating may be the least bad option.

Not only because of that, but it was definitely a factor.

Build housing that would be rent-to-own. The only qualification would be paying first month’s rent and a deposit, then if you stay for 15 years you own the place. Price it for minimal profit (5-10%) and build/renovate a new set every year.
