Can Puerto Ricans vote as expats?
  • No, it applies to Americans voting in the territory’s election. Americans from States can vote absentee on their States’ ballots while living in U.S. Territories. A sailor from a State deployed to Guam can vote in the election of their State. But anyone voting in Guam’s election doesn’t have an option to vote for president.

  • Lily Allen Makes More Money from OnlyFans Than Spotify
  • That reporting. Imagine her quote was an answer to a yes/no question. “imagine being and artist and having nearly 8 million monthly listeners on spotify but earning more money from having 1000 people subscribe to pictures of your feet. don’t hate the player, hate the game.”

  • Lily Allen Makes More Money from OnlyFans Than Spotify
  • The reporting doesn’t match her statement.

  • Lily Allen Makes More Money from OnlyFans Than Spotify
  • It’s worth noting that Allen doesn’t actually claim she earns more money from OnlyFans than Spotify. “imagine being and artist and having nearly 8 million monthly listeners on spotify but earning more money from having 1000 people subscribe to pictures of your feet. don’t hate the player, hate the game.”

  • Kentucky state Sen. Johnnie Turner dies after plunging into empty swimming pool on lawn mower
  • There were more respectful ways to word that headline but none more click-baity.

  • Trump will plunge U.S. somewhere 'between recession and depression': MSNBC analyst
  • Self-centered and desperate for cash. His supporters think he’s a successful businessman, and it’s true because his business is taking supporters’ money. Win or lose, he can never stop campaigning.

  • Donald Trump's wallpaper is a picture of himself
  • Why sully a very plausible claim with a screenshot that is clearly not of a wallpaper? Lock Screen displays the big clock, not at the little corner clock. Home Screen at minimum shows the dock at the bottom. Time at top + app switcher line at bottom = open app.

  • I want my smart Android TV to be dumb again
  • 💯 I bought a Sceptre as a smaller living room TV, which became our main TV, and it’s great. A smart TV is just a good TV with a crap computer built into it. I’d rather just have the good TV.

  • 20-Year-Old Dies From 'Fried Rice Syndrome' After Eating Leftover Pasta
  • Terrible headline. The bacteria that killed him is associated with ‘Fried Rice Syndrome’ but FRS is named for leftovers stored in the fridge, not uneaten food left on the counter.

  • (dnd 5e) Prove me wrong, RAW
  • I see no flaw in this argument. Instead of dying, the character exists like the guy from “One” by Metallica, desperately waiting for a stiff breeze to end his existence.

  • "My AI girlfriend told me that my novel sucks"
  • Without context, that’s the only way to read it. That leads me to side with the Rep on this dude’s writing.

  • The last time you were wearing a hat, what type was it?
  • Kangol flat cap, gray. I alternate between that and a beige flat cap with a closer fit, which is the one that got me into flat caps.

  • What's your stance on "donating" blood plasma?
  • If your blood plasma helps save somebody’s life, either directly as an infusion or indirectly in research, that’s not a scam. The monetary reward is compensation for time and an incentive to try to meet demand. The donation is free, but the time and energy required to make the donation are an expense. That’s what the compensation covers. It’s only a scam if your donation goes to feed a literal or wannabe vampire or their bathing fetish.

  • Trump Says He's Done Debating: 'THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!'
  • I do appreciate that he claims losers demand rematches without acknowledging that he is in a rematch after he lost 2020. Meanwhile, his wingman says celebrity billionaires should stay out of politics. Not a shred of self-awareness.

  • Trump is 'hanging himself' with his own rope as campaign spirals out of control: analyst
  • “Hanging himself with his own rope” is a funny saying. Imagine someone borrowing your rope to hang themself. “Sure, Don, you can borrow my rope.” Then you go to get your rope back. “Hey, Don! You done with my… nah, dude, that’s your rope. That’s not my rope. My bad.”

  • iPhone 16 Storage
  • Which days are “these days”? If it’s the past couple of years, the number is 13. That’s not most. Going back a decade, 74 out of 1,654 is also not most. Many? Sure. But most phones with USB-C are USB 2.0, and no one cares except people who don’t use iPhones but love to complain about them.

    Most people are not going backwards to plug in their phones to backup data. Even those who do backup locally do so over Wi-Fi, which is now faster than USB 3. Fast, wired transfer is absolutely a necessity for professionals moving A/V data. The iPhone Pro is for them. For the rest of us, it’s not something I’d need, even if I was still doing regular local backup these days.

  • iPhone 16 Storage
  • It’s not like it’s the flagship model. The Pro is the flagship with ProMotion and USB 3.2. The non-Pro and SE are lesser ships in the fleet with lesser features. Same situation as the iPad Pro vs. Air and other models. I am squarely mid-range with my iPhone 13 mini and iPad Air 4, and the only Pro feature tempting me is Face ID on iPad because work authentication through Touch ID feels tedious compared to Face ID on iPhone.

  • iPhone 16 Storage
  • No, it is only data. USB 2.0, 3, 4 refer to data speed. USB A/B/C refer to connector shape. There are min/max wattages associated with both of those, but USB Power Delivery is yet another USB spec that supersedes those limits, and it only requires USB on the power supply. That’s why USB-PD works on iPhones with Lightning ports, and why 140W power on MacBooks works through MagSafe (and not USB-C). Apple associates USB-C with charging speed to differentiate their charging cables, but the spec is about the connector, not speed. Though it never caught on, even a USB-A charger could deliver up to 100W via USB-PD 1.0. The first few Galaxy Z Flip models only supported USB 2.0, didn’t affect fast charging, and no one noticed.

  • Shillbilly weirdo likes beer. Do not drink beer with people who do not like beer.
  • It’s like he’s never even seen footage from a presidential campaign before. Or maybe no one told him he would handle all the human interactions to allow his boss to keep shouting nonsense.

  • Add vibration to cross-device shortcuts but only on iPhone

    For my first post, I’m sharing this utility shortcut that lets me build shortcuts that can run on all my Apple devices but vibrate only when run on iPhone. I find it most useful for my HomeKit shortcuts. It also has an option for multiple vibrations.
