The ends of both earbuds are a singular panel that clicks. Click once to fo “A”, double click for “B”, etc.

I set mine up so a single click will start/stop media. It will also answer or close phone calls.

Even mediocre Beets earbuds have physical “click panels”. I’ve used mine in the Upper Peninsula at -18F with gloves, hood, and ear covers.

He also had a drawer labeled “Plastic Shark” that contained one of my old toy sharks.

My father had a workbench drawer marked “Pieces of Wire Too Short to Use.”

Mind you, he was an electrician.

Edit to Add

I do, but I’m handicapped.

ETA: I don’t really care if a non-handicapped person uses it.

It’s the rule of goats:

If you screw a goat ironically, you still screwed a goat.

Job

“Stocking stuffers” in my home are there to keep the kids occupied when it’s not their turn to open gifts.

Maybe $25 total in a stocking.

Oh, some of them need laughed or yelled at, for certain.

I, however, need continued employment.

Poker face.

No matter what I am thinking internally, it does not show externally. Essential skill for customer service.

Totally agree.

As a temporary measure, I have blocked that bot from my feed.

So I did the tuxedo thing when I left a job. Security wanted photos.

I told security that there are only two ways to leave if you know it’s going to be your last day: Head held high and dressed to the nines, or carried out by as many security guards as possible.

They thanked me for choosing the former.

This new version of them was not someone I could hate.

We were completely new people, so it felt like the “us” from before were gone. There was no need to hold onto any of the hate.

I met one during college. We were both very different people by then and went out for lunch.

While there were no apologies (there were lines crossed by both of us), there was closure.

There was a post a few weeks ago referring to seals as “300kg cats with the emotional stability of a toddler and the morals of a seagull.”

So… yeah.

My favorite is “skratch labs”, though it is… gatorade-adjacent.

I’ve had this issue for a few days. If i use the web interface (i normally use liftoff), it gives a json error.

Quick web searching points to a possible image size limit (and poor error handling).
