  • An update from a previous Android version to a newer one borked the battery life. It’s been noticeably worse than when new. It has times when it just heats up because the CPU is going better, but the actual load is minimal.

    It’s done because this phone has battery saving features, like you can set it to only charge up to 80%. Over time the max battery life has taken a moderate hit. It’s not that it’s not tolerable, it’s just that I wanted to refresh. Also I kind of messed up my headphone jack, I thi k the ground contact broke, and I already ordered the replacement parts so I want that installed anyway, so I might as well put in a new battery.










  • … the most qualified candidate in the history of people running for president…

    You do realize that she was extremely widely disliked right? You do realize that we got Trump because the Democrats wanted a stack the deck in her favor by giving air time to the looniest sounding opponent? You two realize that despite all that, she did not have a clear win?

    She was so qualified that people thought that the" you’re fired" guy with connections to the mob or whatever, dealings and cover ups with a pornstar, and (at the time) widely talked about connections with a foreign power… Got into the white house?

    And you have a gal to blame people who exercise their democratic right to vote? Fuck you. It’s people like you who are the reason that we’re stuck in this polarized two party system.

    As for RGB, yes she should have retired under Obama. The Republicans did all kinds of shenanigans to get all their supreme Court people in, and it’s okay when they do it, but the Democrats have to fight clean or whatever, so now Row v. Wade is gone



  • So I think I was pretty tired when I wrote that. But in case I wasn’t clear, I meant that I don’t like the thought of countries, such as North Korea, who are only relatively stable, in possession of nuclear arms.

    I really was not talking about the United States. We have our own issues, but I don’t think we’re about to start any nuclear wars on a whim. Yes our politics are pretty screwed up at the moment, but I don’t see it as likely that any yahoos, like that bodily fluids air force guy in Dr. Strangelove, can just start a nuclear exchange.

    No, I don’t think the US is going to give up it’s nukes anytime soon, there’s lots of politics in play, and half the point of NATO is that it’s under the protection of the US nuclear umbrella.

    By dictatorship I mean a government with extreme accumulation of government, and usually military, power in less than a handful of individuals with ineffective or even lack of democratic elections.

    Edit: so what’s up with all the N. Korean defenders here???
