  My cousin couldn’t understand how I bought groceries after I sold my car. After telling him I walked three blocks to the store he asked how I bought groceries in winter. I told him I put on a coat and boots and walk three blocks to the store.

  What? Before the iPhone Palm and RIM were improving their smartphones constantly, new feature phones were coming out all the time with apps to access social media, the internet and play games. I think a lot of people actually were often wanting a better phone

  Does that make things appear faster on your LCD Display?

  In Georgia (the country) they make wine by smashing the whole grape (including stems) and fermenting it in a clay vessel (qvevri) without any additives. The winemakers told me all the yeast is on the grape skins and that washing them removes it. The wine does have a distinctly different taste versus wine make with cultured yeast.

  In Modica, Sicily they have a chocolate dessert with minced beef called 'Mpanatigghi which has a similar story.

  Qobuz is available in the US (Qobuz Availability).

  I tried Tidal for a while back when they only had the high-fi tier. It was nice but not worth the $20 a month IMO. It looks like they have cheaper tiers now.

  Another plus is both services sound much better than Spotify.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Peak organization⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m currently using Qobuz. The interface is a bit clunky and the catalog is smaller, but there are no podcasts, audiobooks, or social features.

  My favorite ever streaming service was Mog. It was bought by Beats and ruined.

  You need it so you can mull the wine after making it so it tastes somewhat decent.

  In my experience you can make bad wine directly in the big plastic grape juice jugs by adding some yeast.

  You know, you blow up one sun and suddenly everyone expects you to walk on water.

  My boss: add this field to this old form.

  Me: open the form, add my field. Now VS crashes. I have to open the form code in a different editor and delete all the code VS added to the form when I opened it in the form editor.

  Best case scenario is that she’s really into the science behind physical training. In reality she probably just owns a pelaton.

  Istanbul requires a Turkish phone number or for you to scan your passport at a console.

  Thanks. I switched from Pop OS to fedora today and was feeling left out

  If AI will stop people from telling me their “amazing” app ideas when they find out I’m a programmer then I’m all for it.
