  That was my first thought too lol

  I’m also an anglophone, but this seems not quite right to me. There’s no real need to insert a comma in that sentence, as there’s no real need to pause for clarity or pacing.

  What’s with the weird comma placement in the, title?

  I know its not on you OP

  No. You have to be pretty deliberate about it. Honestly, its pretty impressive how well tuned it is.

  Motorola phones have a feature that allows you to “chop” with your phone twice to turn on/off the flashlight. It sounds super mundane, but it is way more convenient than you can imagine. Especially for me as an athletic trainer when I’m testing pupil response during a concussion evaluation. They also allow you to twist your phone twice to open the camera, but I don’t find that as convenient since double tapping the lock button also works.

  Blaming Valve for prediction markets is certainly a stretch…

  I’m on a second generation of Motorola phones. I gave them a shot with the 2020 g power and upgraded to the 2023 edge+. The g power was fine for about 2 years but then I really began to feel the brunt of having such a underperforming chipset. I’d definitely suggest getting something that’s more in the midrange price bracket given my experience. My advice so take it or leave it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good. Now if only they could make the Edge+ with the same relative spec sheet and ditch the curved glass in 2027. I’d buy it in a heartbeat for Graphene. My next phone WAS going to be a Pixel for the broader case/screen protector support, but that would make me reconsider cause I would really miss the chop chop flashlight.

  There’s something silly about describing a NSFW intance’s shut down as untimely lol. As if it could have had a more timely death. Not to criticize the wording in any way, it just gave me a chuckle.

  Your job sounds really cool! How likely is Alberta to be on fire again this year?

  That’s what’s crazy to me, they survived the dot com crash and were so diversified that I have no idea how they stayed afloat. I would think that all of the combined expenses across all of their ventures without a true cash cow would sink them. Instead they survived and became the trash heap of consumer rights violations that they are.

  You can’t really compare online book retailer Amazon to global online marketplace Amazon. Your underlying point is still mostly correct, but I would exclude the years that they were primarily focused on books. From my lived memory they didn’t really become the online retail juggernaut until a few years after the launch of Prime. Free shipping turned them into what it is today. So maybe the best comparison would be from like 2006-2016? Or maybe I’m wrong and thebl distinction isn’t necessary. Idk. I’m just trying to foster conversation
