10 is optimistic imo

Based choices, exactly what I’d have chosen

I couldn’t find any properly dumb tvs in a recent search and got a Google TV. You can set it up in “dumb mode” at startup and it never does a thing online. Can even do firmware vis USB if you felt like it for some reason.

Happy with it so far! 4k and OLED, a decent price imo as well. I’d rather it be fully dumb but this is close enough.

Dave not coming back

I have a bit of an ocean/diving fear and some mild claustrophobia, so this is the perfect doc to scare the crap out of me

Totally agree, but you really never know where would be insulated from everything

I mean surely in the 1930s Hawaii felt like an excellent place to be insulated from war…

Totally. But “down pat” and conversational are a bit different.

US ex pat here:

I agree with a big decision, but I strongly disagree with needing the language down pat before you go. You should know some for sure, and mostly have a willingness to learn it. You’re going to learn so much faster while there than you will studying in the US.

Just need enough language to get by at first

Does… Does this person reach through the legs from the front?

And dont bring hair dryer!

Gas? It’s so much cheaper than the EU, even when it’s at its more expensive in the US

Look at the indent around the opening. On the shorter can it goes from wide to narrow at the back of the tab. It’s more of a straight line on the taller can

If I still worked where I used to I 100% would. No cans around me now :(

I guess I’m a bit rusty, so I am not sure at 355ml and the skinny profile if you can get a 202 end can, or have to use a 200

Hard to tell if it’s sleek or slim

Edit: Actually no, that’s a 200 not a 202. Look at the profile around the tab.

They do, but overall the can end (lid) is a LOT more aluminum than you expect and the whole rest of it isn’t as much as you expect.

So a little less lid is worth a fair bit more sidewall in terms of weight of aluminum

It’s definitely more surface area per volume, but a 200 vs 202 lid and a smaller hermetic seal cancels some of those losses. Sidewall is cheap aluminum wise, but you’re likely right in that it’s a little more aluminum. Definitely costs more to make since they do fill a little slower.

Also fuck coke, what a bunch of assholes

That looks like a 202 vs a 200 can end, so a “sleek” not a “slim” (red bull can is slim)

The sleek can is 355 ml and uses a 200 end.

As for which uses more aluminum… Good question. It’s probably close

Gen III is so damn low level/exp everywhere.

There’s no great way to grind levels. Anytime I play gen III (often in a multi world randomizer) I bump exp up so I can use more than 1-2 pokemon without grindijn

Take the thing you wanna do as long as it’s even kinda profitable.

With luck, you’ll do it for decades. Enjoying it is nice

I always ran converse low tops for non-track driving. Lots of feel, plenty of space to heel-toe, and they go with anything

I just want to comment on how good Gboard is with multiple languages that share a keyboard (or nearly do). It’s gonna be the hardest thing to give up in my slow de googling process.

I used to have English/Spanish and now English/Danish. It will autocorrect mostly to whichever mode you’re in first, but will do some and not fight you on the secondary. Very good for like a conversation in English but an address in another language.

I don’t think it adds anything to my Japanese keyboard layout, just have to swap each way
