Same. And I’ve bought many UGreen chargers and cables since that whole ordeal. Since then I’ve seen some Anker chargers, batteries, and desk power strips that looked really appealing and that I would’ve bought if I wasn’t avoiding them.
The end of I’m Your Captain (Closer to Home) by Grand Funk Railroad fits that description.
What sneaky?
That game cartridge mechanism is satisfying.
I’m guessing OP was talking about set #10497 Galaxy Explorer with 1,254 pieces.
Maybe two weeks of nightly building after work while watching TV.
Titanic, and no. I looked at getting an LED kit for it, saw how much I’d have to disassemble and decided not to.
For the last few years, every time I’ve looked at the DeviantArt homepage, it’s run rampant with inflation porn. Every goddamn time. I’ve tried hiding a few dozen of them, but there’s either no personalized algorithm, or it absolutely sucks. I’ve now basically written the site off as an inflation fetish site.
See my comment above.
I used to adjust my mirrors to see a sliver of my car, but it’s still not ideal. See my comment above.
ITT: a whole bunch of people more worried about scratching or bumping their car in a parking lot than possibly killing themselves or others on a highway with an unsafe lane change.
Adjust your mirrors so cars approaching from behind in the lane to either side start entering your side mirrors as they start leaving your rearview mirror. There should be a point where you can see one half of a car in the side mirror and the other half in the center mirror at the same time. You should not be able to see your own car. You might not be able to dial this in while parked and might have to adjust on the road, but it’s absolutely worth it.
If you need to see the lines while parking and your mirrors don’t auto-move in reverse, explore methods that don’t rely on mirrors. I used to park on a long, squiggly driveway. I’d crack the driver door open to see where the edge was while I was reversing, and I could follow it precisely at speed. If your car allows you to crack the door open without shifting into park, give that a shot (you’re wearing your seatbelt, right? Don’t fall out and run yourself over.). Otherwise you could try rolling down a window and peeking out that way.
The recommendation to not daisy-chain UPSs together is less about what makes for a cleaner setup and more about not damaging them.

Florida voter here. We have closed primaries and I have a registered party affiliation. I don’t receive any political texts, mostly just fake USPS scams.
Anytime I want to use public WiFi that’s behind a captive portal that requires an email, I give them “bezos@amazon.com”
I had an American-made 2001 Honda Civic that didn’t start having significant problems until it was well over 100k miles. Had an American-made 2007 Accord that never had a major issue with 116,000 miles. Now have an American-made 2023 Integra, and I hope it fares the same.
Edit: but our American-made '96 Astro was a total piece of shit.
Batman: The Animated Series
Unique art style (it was drawn on black paper), excellent writing, excellent voice acting.
Yeah, I also hate back-button hijacking. I suspect some websites do it to artificially force more page views for ad revenue. Try a long-press on the back button to view the history for that browser tab and click on the most recent page you think won’t redirect.
If you give them permissions. Speaking from Android. Don’t know how iOS works.
Brace yourself, because it’s going to get a lot worse.
