    so it begins.
    i thought they would at least wait for the subscription to renew.

    • How much you pay now monthly??Ramanisky2
    • $139 annual going up to $175. that's going to be a no from me dawg (even though i use the shit out of prime) i'll re-evaluate come june ¯\_(ツ)_/¯imbecile
    • Yeah I hear ya dawg lol
      Been thinking about either Prime or Apple TV+ but not sure yet.
      Ramanisky2
    • i use prime shipping weekly for personal and business on dog stuff and basic supplies, plus i watch prime video and netflix. grrrimbecile
    • Yep they're all at it. Not so much improving the content as making it a bit less shit.MrT
    • Everyone is always "well I'm cancelling Prime." This is finally it.garbage
    • aaaand when trying to cancel I accidentally signed up for the annual. Spent forever on the phone cancelling and organizing a refund. Two punches.garbage
    • That blowsYakuZoku
    • This blows dawg!prophetone
    • good thing they have monthly sub now. if i don't need to buy anything, i just dont renew it.pango
    • AU$79 a year down under. Still a good deal.sab
    • Despite going up AU$20 a year in the last 12 months.sab
    • Ha, we have THREE firesticks because my partner works for the demon. US, UK, DEU. Guess how much free Prime she gets?garbage
    • @garbage I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess 'none'.Continuity
    • Bingo. I can't out her, but she is responsible for things you probably have seen. She's a big deal, and Prime is somehow not a benefit.garbage
    • Then would she feel bad knowing I haven't got a Prime subscription, yet watch Prime stuff?Continuity
    • So Apple TV+ it is then, for me ;)Ramanisky2
    • @conty Lol, I can assure you she doesn't give a single solitary fuck.garbage
    • Heard of WatchSeries? It has all the TV shows in the known universe.jagara
    • We have every subscription service known to man. She mostly has to do regional QC checks, but I'm still riding the high seas here.garbage

    Evernote.

    This used to be a cool note taking app but now I get spammed with 10 popups to pay for a subscription before I can access the notes.

    I'm gradually switching to Google & Apple Notes

    • I'm too locked in to that shit. 12 years of highly systematized notes. I used their service for free until now. For now I'm paying.jagara
    • Price is ridiculous, though.jagara
    • I made that switch at least 10 years ago. Their constant updates were getting on my nerves.CyBrainX

    Very special punches for people using the term

    Me for having a New Yorker subscription and not having opened a single issue in the past 6 months (that's 24 issues).

    Currently completely overwhelmed by the amount of info at our disposal.

    • Related: Does anyone pay for The Guardian?skinny_puppy
    • "Currently completely overwhelmed by the amount of info at our disposal." I buy this!OBBTKN
    • I pay for Apple News+. Great access to magazines, decent access to papers like WSJ. And the UX on iPad is excellent.nb
    • get yourself a library card and the libby appdasohr
    • My weekly paper issues are now accumulating in an unread pile of shame. I do listen to novels and articles through their app. Will check Libby and Apple Newsspl33nidoru
    • Or become a hoarder, like the brothers in NYC that eventually smothered themselves by subscription. You'd be famous.garbage
    • Search for, magazines pdf vk.com - Thank me later. No more subscriptions.Wordsworth
    • I pay for the guardian. I listen to a fair amount of their podcasts and check the site every day. Only started a subscription last year.thumb_screws
    • garbage : i just read about those Collyer brothers, fascinating!spl33nidoru
    • Just don't start setting traps and you should be fine.garbage
    • paying for the guardian? imagine giving money for shit written by Jonathan Freedland and that fucking Toynbee witch.face_melter

    Apple and Qi for having the audacity to call it “wireless charging”. It’s not wireless. It is literally a wire with a big flat connector.

    MBPs have had MagSafe connectors for years. No one would have dared call that “wireless charging”

    • Yeah but it isn’t metal to metal so .... Also Apple isn’t alone calling it wireless. Literally everyone does.monospaced
    • if there was a blue check system for this place, nb would have one.face_melter
    • I don’t get itnb
    • It’s not fucking wirelessnb
    • It’s wireless in the sense the phone doesn’t need to connect to a wire nor does it need to have metal contact.monospaced
    • We use tables with wireless charging built into the surfaces. Nobody would say that wires are being used except nerds who refer to power outlets.monospaced
    • It's not a lie but it's a bit misleading.CyBrainX
  • NBQ00-3

    Well, I haven't even used it that much and already getting this message. And I just started the subscription to test the GPT store and plugins.

    Multiple owners listed (sometimes 8 people) on every project in your portfolio, so who the fuck did it?

    All the people flooding my yoga studio after the new year. Fuck your new year's resolution, just be consistent or leave the rest of us alone!

    Fuck You Google!

    Youtube constantly recommending spam based weather reports all over my YouTube homepage. I don't check the weather or view and weather related videos. I am constantly clicking either "don't recommend" or "report spam" and then clear my history...And "Poof" and they are...dozens of fake weather reporters suggested videos!

    • if you watch a lot of bs videos (and you do) so that is what you get as recommended content on this subject.sted
    • I have observed an uptick of cantankerous comments in the side notes, are you okay?utopian
    • I'm fine thanks. Just tried to explain you are sharing lot of videos with questionable content, and it is possible that this is the reason whysted
    • YouTube recommends such content on such mundane topics as the weather.sted
    • you can't rid of this with the methods u described because of the recommendation system. You need a clean account and watch these bs videos only in incognito.sted
    • you will get a clear and purposeful feed like me.sted

    Speakeasy bars. Dumbest trend

    • Real speakeasies in nyc are cool, but you can’t read about them on the internetnb
    • Most of them are just a gimmicknb
    • There are no real speakeasy bars in NYC. Just places that require a password. So stupid.monospaced
    • Here in California it’s just password and 5x prices. And always the corny 20s vibe -_-HijoDMaite
    • There are actual speaks here because of our restrictive sell times. They are all gang-related, fun and terrifying.garbage
    • Wouldn't we give a speakeasy fisticuffs?stoplying
    • There are illegal underground bars in nyc that you have to know someone to get in. They’re coolnb
    • I’ve only been to two, so grain of salt, but they were both cool. One is now a legal bar and it’s not cool anymore lolznb
    • it may makes me laugh that mono speaks as if he knows everything ever.ephix
    • Real people like me spend their time at Speakhard attics.sted
    • @nb This. I won't name names, but I got into an all-black MC speak, and it was fucking wild.garbage
    • No photography banners everywhere, I smoked a skull bong in the garage, some young riders came in and actually said "who's this white bitch?"garbage
    • Too bad I had already been chilling on the plywood with the bartender who didn't bother to tell me he was the boss. He told them to fuck off..garbage
    • ..then I got free drinks for the night, traded stories and was invited to his birthday party. Honestly one of the best nights ever.garbage
    • I went to one years back in Ottawa and though it was fun! Behind a hidden bookcase; a gal I went with forgot how to get back in after going to the restroom.

    • geezas, what are these bars? weird BDSM clubs or drinking places where husbands hide from their wifes, i can't decide?%!%sted
    • there's a stupid one here in an obviously fake barber shop with a code on the wall you get from their facebook pageephix
    • There used to be a legendary speakeasy in NYC Greenwich Village called Chumleys. It was on 86 Bedford Street and the expression "86 it" is came from this place.CyBrainX
    • It ran during Prohibition and they had an inside man at the Police Dept. who warned them of raids. There was a secret entrance through a courtyard for escapes.CyBrainX
    • It was there until about 12 years ago or so. The building had structural damage and it came back but was never the same. The neighbors closed the courtyard too.CyBrainX

    Instagram for taking this area as a full screen and making it like this. In general, their entire platform wouldn't pass usability standards of the last millennium.

    My Landlord(s).

    Just found out when a delivery person uses the switchboard in the lobby of my apartment building it actually calls the local TARGET store—not our apartment (I just tested it myself)... I just missed a pretty important package from UPS and I can't expect a redelivery attempt until Monday.

    Fucking TARGET.

    • fuckers!YakuZoku
    • Sucks you have to wait for your used Fleshlight from Craigslist until Monday :(NBQ00
    • Don't I know it, NBQ00. As plans have changed I guess I'll see you Monday? (which gives you time to get that second round of shots!!)PonyBoy
    • It took our property manager 5½ years to fix our buzzer so it actually worked with everyone's phone.i_monk
    • Curious, did you try #0000? A lot of buildings with heavy deliveries actually use that. Can't expect a rotating squad of drivers to remember 4 numbers.garbage
    • There's a list of apartments and buttons that connect directly to them, garbage... 30 units in the building - 30 buttons. Mine calls Target. :)PonyBoy
    • lol, that's so comically fucked. At least it's not Walmart.garbage

    People that want to make roast potatoes in an iron steel pan and then complain that everything sticks.

    • lol, all they have to do is heat it correctly toomonospaced
    • Err ... what do you roast yours in, oey?Continuity
    • I don't have a cast iron pan for a year now. That's how I use to do it. Now I do them in the iron steel pan. In between I used a non stick coated pan.oey_oey
    • But what I mean is an iron steel pan is not the best option to do it. if you want to still do it then learn the trade instead of complaining about the pan.oey_oey
    • Do you mean stainless steel? Again, sticking is only a result of cooking technique. You can use any pan.monospaced
    • yes, I agree more or less.yes I mean stainless steal, sorry.oey_oey
    • I frankly get the best roast potatoes in a stainless steel pan. I think, in your case, you're choosing the wrong potatoes.Continuity
    • Don't try to roast floury ('mehlig' in German). You want waxy ones ('festkochende' in German). Floury potatoes just don't roast well.Continuity
    • Floury/'mehlig' potatoes are for mash.Continuity
    • You are getting me wrong, I'm not the one letting the potatoes stick.oey_oey
    • You are getting me wrong, I'm not the one letting the potatoes stick.oey_oey
    • I was doing some research to buy a new pan and in a specific model from a known brand people had written reviews and were complainingoey_oey
    • One has to be skilled to use a stainless steel pan for that. I worked in a kitchen way back in Amsterdam.oey_oey
    • You have to have the skill set to use any pan. Nobody NEEDs a Teflon nonstick pan, and things can stick to anything with the wrong technique.monospaced
    • I think carbon steel pans are the best midway between stainless and cast. They’re smooth, but heavy. And they season to a mirror so virtually nonstickmonospaced
    • ^oey_oey
    • Waxy potatoes? No. Roast floury potatoes in the oven and don't skimp on the fat.MrT

    I went to a New Year's parade yesterday and the amount of people walking around with and watching it through their phone screens was mind boggling. People walking around with selfie sticks, recording was weird.

    People are not selective and take selfies in front of the most random things.

    • People are so removed from an authentic experience. It’s wild. They don’t need punches, more like a slap on the face to wake them upnb
    • Millions of people working months to buy a trip to a famous place they saw on their phone, only to look at it through their phone’s camera.nb
