I for real think the Airpods design is great, not specifically airpods but having the earpiece with no cord connected, even if it means shorter battery time. I bought a pair of fake airpods when I was in China and they lasted me around 5 months before they broke. I work construction so having a wire dangle is a major annoyance, I accidentally yank them out of either my ears or the phone whenever I'm using corded even if it's under my shirt, there's still a little bit hanging out that i eventually get caught in. Ordered two pairs of cheap "noise cancelling" from Aliexpress with the purpose of using them during work, hoping one of the pairs work well enough to order another couple and just use them as semi-disposable. But even the fake ones I got in China were great without the noise cancelling cause the PPE fit snuggly on top of them with no sound leaking in because of the wire.

Apple is garbage for charging so much for them though.

:shrug: have to keep the commie propaganda playing in my ear somehow so why not fund the rise of China by buying overengineered garbage that works well enough rather than from some western company that barely works better and are also made in China.

Don't take this as me trying to excuse Apple, but what's stopping me from throwing a big flat rock onto the airpods when the battery dies and collecting and recycling the pieces in their respective bin(assuming theres infrastructure for it)?

A cloud of toxic gases that'll either instantly kill me or give me cancer in a year or ten? It says fire in the garbage compactor but is that applicable if I just toss the rock on em?

But isn't the point that they're really tiny, so wouldn't the fireball be tiny? I'm really wondering if you'd also die by toxic gasses or if it's just a fireball.

blasting them into such tiny pieces but at such a volume that they burn up before they hit the ground but the entire atmosphere is mainly silica giving us all instant miners lung, collectively gasping for air until we all suffocate in a painful but deserved end, a month later it all settles on the surface and the insects and whalesfish rule the earth.

edit; poo poo the whales breathe air, they will be necessary collateral damage with all other mammals

Because how did you get to this point? That you grew up with a worse system and ingrained it into your psyche isn't the argument you think it is. Had you not lived in a metric hellworld you would have had an intrinsic understanding of the unit instead of having to have been conditioned to do so.

HootTheOwl youre doing a DunningKruger but instead of thinking youre smarter than the rando you cant identify you assume youre better at approximating things than a rando metric user.

Like, ive only ever used metric and im very good at eyeballing things. About 2 months ago my boss and I approximated the material we'd need to buy down to a sack of 25kg left over when we were done just by eyeballing the house.

Like its not an issue. Not an issue what so ever.

We did however need to relate the dimensions of the house(approximated) into how many kilograms of materials we usually use per meter and that was very easy to do in our heads and took us less than a minute.

I'm vaguely nervous of when I eventually gotta get my first colonoscopy cuz I think the doctor's gonna get one look at my butthole and be like "oh I see you've got plenty of experience with this kinda thing already, tee hee" and then all the nurses will laugh at what a big gay I am.

I'm not even particularly against it but the banner is funny

Backed by the world’s top venture capitalists, the Enhanced Games is the Olympics of the future. When 44% of athletes already use performance enhancements, it is time to safely celebrate science.

I honestly want pro athletes to be so full of roids that their piss glows and their muscles shred their skin open on live television.

people should look at athletes as weirdo freaks that nobody aspires to emulate because it's weird as gently caress and bad for you.

the olympics should go on two separate paths, one where it returns to its modern origins of non-sponsored amateurs

the other where barely recognizable bipedal enhanced humanoids attempt to assault the heavens

This is just as dumb as the usual "just let them take all the PEDs" redditors who have never seen a sports venue from the inside. "Allowing" PEDs as a sports governing entity just moves the barrier of what's allowed and what's not a bit, because there is tons of stuff that is straight up not legal. And you need doctors to do stuff that they're not legally allowed to do. Which means you either need to control for people doing illegal stuff (and you are back to the exact same problems as anyone else with regards to drug testing etc.) or you're running into trouble with the law at some point. Or you're just 100% irrelevant so nobody cares what you do, like bodybuilding or something. It's not like the big governing bodies are against PEDs because of their integrity.

sounds like you're anti science buddy
