Depends on if they’re going to abduct me or just shoot me.

I’m a “use what works for you” kind of person. I’ve been using the Pro Max iterations of the iPhone lately because mainly I like the camera. Having my phone with me out on a hike is better than hauling an extra piece of kit and I like having a bigger screen because I’m middle aged and I have to do the holding everything 2 feet away arm extension to read. Realistically, there’s nothing I would call a major difference among the models.

Ah, thanks. It’s absolutely not mine and I can’t give credit because I honestly can’t remember where I appropriated it from but it’s cartoon Ragnarok. It’s cropped down a bit on my phone otherwise it scales a bit weirdly but this is the whole thing.

For sure, glad I could help!

Sure can. Settings > Display & Brightness.

Always on, idle

Always on, in use

The display runs dimmed unless you’re actively using it. During certain Focus settings, like Bedtime, the display turns off completely unless you wake it intentionally.

I can confirm that I’m not a bighorn sheep.

Ah crap is it not ok to say tourist anymore? Are they sightseers? Differently geolocated? Apologies for offending.

It happens. People come into Colorado Springs to visit and don’t let themselves acclimate if they’re from lower elevations and then they try to do pikes peak, which is about 3k feet lower than Everest base camp. The altitude sickness can be legit.

Bigfoot approved!

Didn’t realize it til I took a closer look but if you zoom in where the sunlight is hitting you can see the Cripple Creek gold mine.

It’s 14,115 feet in elevation at the summit so it tends to be 30 to 40 degrees (F) cooler than where I live down in Colorado Springs so it’s still cold enough to snow up there.

No I think this definitively qualifies as fuck around and find out.

Yay harm reduction!

They’re the only culture some people have.

I saw this story yesterday and I just cannot fathom HOW. It’s kind of amazing.

89 was a good year. I didn’t quite have bills yet.

This, along with velvet Elvises (Elvii??) are peak art.

Edit: Autocarrot doesn’t like elvii.

Yep. I make ok money and have insurance. Things being what they are, rent has skyrocketed over the past couple years. Food seems to be coming down in price but for a while there it was pretty alarming. I haven’t had a significant raise in about 3 years to keep up with cost of living increases. Choices must be made and if life and limb aren’t in immediate danger, I choose to not have a bill of several thousand dollars for something like a few stitches and/or fight with my insurance company over coverage.

Again just a personal opinion but I’m loving the change I’ve been seeing lately. More people seem to be standing up for their fellow man and calling for things like universal healthcare. I’ve never seen this much unionization and union positive thinking in my life. I have hope that this attitude of radical individualism is going away and that people are going to pull together for the benefit of all people, not some.
