I love that this appears to have the option of installing an extended battery. I had one on my HTC Incredible, and got one for my wife too when she got her HTC Thunderbolt. The Thunderbolt had CRAP battery life because of the drain from the new 3g radio, and the Inc was so small… I probably wasn’t helping the battery situation with my custom ROMs. But we didn’t mind a bit of extra bulk in order to achieve a full day+ of heavy use, and had a spare battery we could bring with us if needed, too.

And then the sleek, gorgeous HTC One m7 came out and after only one generation, sealed in batteries were the norm for every other phone I’ve ever owned. Now, the battery life wasn’t so bad - and so I didn’t mind, but all these years later I wish it were at least an option on the market.

Pretty sure you shouldn’t use WordPress - it’s an aging platform with serious security vulnerabilities. 😬

I would happily move from the US south to Ireland. My wife and I went for our 10 year anniversary and it was the most magical place I’ve ever been. Freezing cold temperatures at times during our visit and still, the hills were still lush emerald green, the loughs glistened in the sunlight, we walked some incredible river trails and crossed stone bridges, walked and lived amongst the ancient history of castles and forts all across the north and through the center of Ireland. We spent 4ish hours a day driving from castle hotel to castle hotel, I never expected the drive to be one of my favorite parts of the trip. Deep forest to tall swaying grassland; sheer cliffs, hills, and mountains; rivers, lakes, and the sea. Just utterly, unbelievably beautiful. I think we’d sell our house and all our worldly possessions to live in a shack, if we could emigrate tomorrow.

Toss in there the benefit of living in the EU, but in reach of the British and Scottish countryside… Leave behind hidden US sales taxes for clearly defined pricing with VAT, ditch the nightmare of the US system for the EU healthcare system, there’s so much else to love.

YouTube Music allows you to upload up to 20,000 tracks to your personal storage for free. And then you can just pre-download anything you want or you have anytime access to just stream your whole library, without the need to preload your device as if it were 2003.

I haven’t tried to use it collaboratively, but TickTick is excellent. Ever in need of something that helps me stay organized, I actually pay yearly for the premium subscription even. Really nice interface, and gives you multiple ways to manage your tasks, just depending on what works better in a given situation or for a given individual.

You run with an interesting crowd.

Oh yeah also all arcade games with prizes are rigged. All of them. We literally have a setting that determines how often the game will allow wins.

One time on vacation, my little sister and I found a crane game in the game room of our hotel that was clearly over tuned - basically every button press was another win, it was great. We still remember it fondly. A stupid thing, but even at that age we knew these are usually scams and we we’re stoked to just basically get cheap toys.
