Kinda depends on what features in sync made you like it.

Overall, boost, connect, thunder and summit each get close to parity, but only close. But, you could say that in reverse, (that sync only gets close to parity with any of them) it isn't a slight against any of them.

Eternity is another one that I've had good use of, but development on that seems to be stopped as well, so I dunno if that's a useful option.

Past those, you get less similarity in ux and ui than would make sense to compare. Like, the apps that mimic voyager (or whatever the popular iOS reddit app was called), things are laid out so different that if you used sync as a primary, you aren't likely to enjoy that ui.

On a phone, I kinda favor connect over sync, despite it looking very unlike it compared to boost or eternity. But on a tablet, nothing else does double columns in portrait worth a damn for me, and aren't great in landscape either. But boost and eternity come the closest to the visual ease sync has.

that's sync

I was going to include screen shots of the ones I have on this tablet, but uploads shit the bed and are being weird after that one. So no promises that I can do them all

boost

eternity

connect

and interstellar since it does piefed better than anything else I've tried, and still does lemmy just fine.

Decided to install thunder and summit long enough to give a visual

thunder

annnd summit

As you can tell, everyone has a slightly different approach to the UI. But they're even more variable in what settings are available, little niceties, etc. Theming is all over the place from a bare bones light/dark/oled to the relative broad visual options of boost and sync. None of them are bad at all. They're reliable, work even on older devices without bogging them down, and are all easy enough to get going with.

That was my thought exactly, with the addition of something along the lines of: "gee, it must have flown through Thanksgiving dinner"

I bet they even threw a party!

Lemon parties are always sexy

Well, I know someone that ended up banging their stepdaughter, though both were fully adult when they met. Both were women as well.

I also know two people that banged their step siblings. Well, I guess I technically know (or knew, anyway) 4 people since I did like their step siblings. In both cases, it was hetero sex, but one of the two couples were in love and ended up married. The other couple, it was a "fun" thing, nor a serious one and they only did it a few times.

The pair that got married met in their late teens and didn't do anything sexual until they moved out. Or, that's what they said.

The other pair were in their thirties when their parents married and didn't meet until the wedding. Someone supposedly cracked a joke that they'd end up married now, which did not come true, but it set the idea in both their heads (again, supposedly).

I suppose the tropes of the plumber/repairman thing has to happen at least occasionally in a world of billions. Plus, I kinda got into roughly equivalent situations a few times qhen doing home health work, though it wasn't the same as the tropes, just people taking an interest and me having to make a difficult decision regarding sex with the family of a patient, and it was essentially a hell no every time.

But, if that can happen to my sasquatch looking ass, it could happen to anyone, and without the professional boundaries in place, there's no reason it couldn't lead to sex.

Lack of core function, and no sign of future updates in this case.

I'd also apply the term to other situations, such as a github page being taken down without any word from development about it, or similar.

Or, if an app is otherwise functional, but can't be installed/accessed via apk/app store (like the keyboard app swype that works fine, but you have to jump through hoops to install on newer android versions and is no longer listed in any store)

Aight, a few suggestions so you can have something approaching a decent cup.

Assuming you're stuck with bags, which isn't the best tea, how you heat the water only matters a little and you can get a fairly similar state with a microwave.

Nuke the water twice. It's going to vary depending on the microwave, obviously, but this the low powered stuff in most hotel rooms, go with 1:30 twice. The water should be just under boiling after the second zap. Stir in between, then stir before dunking bags. This also assumes a "coffee mug" sized vessel, which is usually about 8oz (y'all brits still use those liquid measures? I'm not sure, but I can calculate the CCs if you don't have access to an app for that). If the cups are smaller, maybe do two one-minute zaps and check the temp.

Now, if you've got loose tea and your own steeper, it's about the same, but you can go a little hotter (more hot? My brain can't parse the right grammar) since the steeper will suck up some of the heat, and do so quickly.

Tbh though, the difference in nuked tea and more properly steeped is likely moot if you're using the bags the hotel provides. Most of those are utter crap even by US hot tea standards.

That's also assuming the front desk doesn't have kettles. They aren't usually in rooms, but some places do have them available on request, particularly in cities, and even moreso in cities they have a lot of European/British visitors.

You'll likely need to warm the cuppa

As others have said, it isn't dead, but don't expect any future support or updates.

southsamurai @sh.itjust.works 4w ago

You can get them on amazon for sure, which means they'd also be available elsewhere if you dig for them a little.

You hear about the dwarf psychic that escaped prison?

In all reality, someone I used to know dying under suspicious circumstances. I've known a few people over the years that, if they got murdered, there's a non zero chance that someone around at the time might consider me a suspect.

Like, some people are just that fucking batshit that you have to cut ties in a very blunt, direct, and unmistakable way. When that happens, it tends to linger in memory longer than just a casual argument or whatever.

And I've run into a handful or so of people that I had to very definitively inform that they should not darken my life again. So, yeah, if one of those turned up dead in a ditch, I might get a knock on the door despite never thinking about them until s question like this comes up

Tintinabulation!

It's not as direct an onomatopoeia as your example, but it so perfectly encapsulates the experience of hearing the bells, bells, bells, that it counts imo

Ahhhh, iirc, it's one he built himself.

It's actually come up in comics before, more than once if my mind isn't playing tricks.

I don't doubt that he would have at least taken lessons from open source type projects if Linux doesn't directly exist in the comic universe.

No worries :)

Ngl, some random asshole comes up to me in a parking lot, I'd have a weapon ready and warn them off before they got close enough I had to use it. Those people walking up to strangers got a lot of threats, but they're damn lucky nobody carried them out.
