Yep. Forgot which model, but one of my color Nokia candybar phones which I loooooved starting getting crappy battery life. Used to go 2wks between charges if no phonecalls, then got to only days before I had to recharge. Figured, okay, it’s the battery, so swapped in a brand new one from another same-model phone (used to get ‘em essentially free if you’d buy airtime), and took apart the old battery.
F’n thing had the same exact battery life with the unused battery! I figure their “updates” f’ed with the charging algorithm, standby power draw, anything, that’d kill battery life.
My Nuron is also on its last balls, too. Damned good battery life ‘til all of a sudden it went to shiite. Literally as if someone flicked a switch. Now, it’ll go from 4-5 battery-bars to 1-2 with minimal interaction (call, display, etc.), then bwoop-bwoop its “feed me!” warning.
That’s why I HATEOTA “updates”. I had unwanted UI changes, new crapplets installed, new/broken versions of stuff I used, all kinds of annoyances.
Back when I was a kid, this kid from across the street saw a cat taking a dump in someone’s front garden. He froze, mesmerised, just staring at the spectacle.
When the cat was done, the kid then blurted out, “Wow, that cat took a helty schitt”.
Just the way it came out (the comment) just struck me as hilarious.
Great stop motion CGI (2014). I wonder if they used studio takes as seed material to build on. Stitching scenes together.
Anyways, I’d like to find a ‘behind the scenes’ video.
Isn’t that a yearly(?) festival where tall ships from many nationalities visit some port, sorta like some antique car shows?
A few decades ago they came to my city. Many people with their crafts would ride alongside. Was quite a sight and the crowds in the port, overwhelming.
That’s what I was thinking.

Q. How do you defend a caged lion?
A. Open the door and let him out and he will defend himself.

I always wanted to learn how to split firewood
Oh, that’s what that was about?

Here’s one about the weather… or stocks… or something.

There are 10 kinds of people in the world. Those that understand binary notation and those that do not.
WOW — She talks a lot
I would actually start watching the news again…

Don’t know if my ax would handle those logs but I’d sure give it a try.
Make enough firewood for a long cold winter.

…and can turn left better than Nascar.

Wish I had one of those… well, if I lived in the woods.
Wonder how many miles-per-sticks he gets.

well, since it is in Brazil,
that would be Kilometers

…I especially liked the segment “Things you can say to your dog, but not your girlfriend”, but I always loved Whos line…
One Bulb to rule them all,
One Bulb to blind them,
One Bulb to bring them all,
and put the darkness behind them
Gotta love the entertainment value of a VR freakout.

Carpenters didn’t look like this when I was working
how to drive around Land Mines.
Takes guts. Are they booby-trapped? Like lifting them would go Kaboom?
She a big girl. She a bodybuilder-type or something?

Holy Crap…
Ain’t familiar with the piece, was thinking it sounded kinda Zimmer-ish, and yeah, it was.
She played it to perfection.

This one is cool.
Never knew there were so many tall ships in Amsterdam
All the Best,
