As an update I have since started using standard gas as the manual recommends and think the performance might actually be better now

I use it in my 50cc motor scooter since it's got a barely 1 gallon tank that lasts me ~2 weeks a fill, so the price difference is negligible
I figured the higher octane would make a noticeable difference since it's such a small engine
But reading this thread I'm now thinking maybe I shouldn't do this?

I've encountered some sentiments that they're bad simply because they're trendy
air fryers are just a rebranding of convection ovens, which are awesome. I don't care what it's called, cooking with circulated hot air is really useful

i've started using "hey there" and "heyo" specifically to avoid the wasted syllables of "howareyoufinethankshowboutyou"
at least "sup" works w/ close friends who know to just reply "sup" also :]

true that. I'm into the double digits now for number of psych medications I've tried
everything sucks and I'm miserable and so is everyone else and I wish I had the energy to do fuckin anything besides work, sleep, and occasionally shitpost as a semblance of social interaction
no platitudes from me dawg, life is ass 🫡

It was that VoLTE wasn't supported for that particular model of phone. VoLTE is very much the norm here although I'm unsure if every phone uses it now. My flip phone probably doesn't, but it's hard to tell with how stripped down its manufacturer-customized Android is.

the joke answer is "go touch grass" but let's be honest it's not always because they're incel types (though my guess is that's usually it)
assorted thoughts:
- most people have at least mild mental health problems and that often makes it hard to connect with people in a healthy way. i fall directly and pathetically into this category myself
- fuckin capitalism profits from isolating people and dissolving community infrastructure that traditionally facilitated dating
- it's way easier to think about how hard it is to interact with potential dates and all the things that could go wrong, than it is to think about all the times you've successfully interacted with humans (with dating intentions or otherwise) and it turned out fine or even fantastic. even worse, we're wired to remember negative experiences with more detail. all my horrible awkward attempts at flirting are chiseled in fuckin marble in my memory, while the times i was normal AND lucky enough for it to be reciprocated, i barely remember in comparison. :[

I held onto my Sony XZ2c for months after calls stopped working on it after the US 3G shutdown. I got a flip phone for making calls.
The worst part? The XZ2c has VoLTE calling capability, but all the US phone companies refuse to support it on their networks.
Now I'm begrudgingly using a OnePlus 6 and praying that I don't drop the massive thing >:[
Basically, even if we want to use aging tech we're held hostage by telecom companies, who obviously would prefer to rope people into new devices on credit plans. ARGH

Think "you wake up in the woods naked," [Dr. Stone](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Stone)-style tech reset. How could humans acquire a 1-gram weight, a centimeter ruler, an HH:MM:SS timekeeping device, etc. starting with natural resources? My best guess was something involving calibrating a mercury thermometer (after spending years developing glassblowing and finding mercury, lol) using boiling water at sea level to mark 100 ° C and then maybe [Fahrenheit's dumb ice ammonium chloride brine](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit) to mark -17.7778 ° C, then figuring out how far apart they should be in millimeters on the thermometer (er, somehow). I can already think of several confounding variables with that though, most notably atmospheric pressure. I feel like the most important thing to get would be a length measurement since you can then get a 1 gram mass from a cubic centimeter of distilled water. That's as far as I got with this thought experiment before deciding to ask the internet. I actually asked on Reddit a while back but never got any responses.
