The Bone Chillers episode where their lunchlady gets replace by someone feeding them food with larvae that can be thrown up if they consume mustard also left a mark but only for a matter of days; I remember foregoing ketchup and getting mustard on my school lunch, the next day. I think I was in elementary school, at the time.

As much as I love it, that first Batman: TAS Clayface episode.

Gleefully tormenting a clearly desperate man with the thing he wanted most left me mortified.

Wouldn’t Stranger Things also qualify (I have not watched it, I’m afraid; just heard a lot of 80s nostalgia)?

Jar-Jar Binks

I…thought that was Sailor Moon

My eyes are stronk…

Making phone calls with a GTK UI is a surreal experience in the best possible way.

The only way to win is not to play.

I mean, I’d argue that “Thank you” always implies acknowledging a social debt; if you don’t feel there was a social debt someone just assisted you with, I probably wouldn’t say, “Thank you.”

“Have a good day” would just as equally and politely close the interaction while not implying you were just assisted with a social debt.

That’s the strongest point in their favor.

So there’s Flare which works (GTK implementation) but it’s far from feature parity; but it definitely works pretty nicely, for what it is.

The device also has really good Android emulation; certain Google Play services still don’t quite work, even though it comes with MicroG preinstalled (e.g. the Integrity API so, unfortunately, all my banking app.s crash themselves), but I can’t imagine Signal uses any that’d cause it not to run.

I have it (the Android version) installed and it opens just fine but I haven’t had the chance to try transferring the account (and all messages) over, yet. So I’d expect it’d fully work but that’s all I can tell you, yet.

I can come back and let you know how it goes and how well it works – once I get there –, if you’d like.

FuriOS’s FLX1s works pretty well; it’s been my primary device for 3 months, now.

This is art.

Is your mom possibly Bloody Mary? And I think the problem was less the noise than that it was directly on the floor.

Are you using suspend, rather than hibernate? Proper hibernation shouldn’t be using battery, at all (as the entire machine is shut off).

I still follow the old twice-your-ram rule; 128GiB swap for meeeeeeee

Frankly, this is why I’m still antinuclear; everyone is always, “It’s so easy to store!” but, like, that’s a reliance in a world that loves cutting corners (usually because of corporate pressure…).

I’d rather invest in the energy source that doesn’t have devastating consequences if we don’t do it right or someone decides to drill into it despite all the warnings we put up.
