YTV is a passion to keep updated, though. I mean, I use it too, but every few days seemingly it'll start offering up ads anyway. Plus, it doesn't play well with click-through links (a YT video link in whatsapp or this forum will launch regular YT app instead of Vanced, and I haven't discovered how to change that on my phone yet).
Still beats regular YT by a mile though
Only time I use Youtube on mobile is when I'm in bed at night and want to cast something to the bedroom TV.
*sits down at work computer*
*logs on for pre-shift*
*sees queue is around 100 and average wait time is over 30 minutes*
Sooooo...gonna be one of those days, huh? Lots of customers who will first need to rant about the wait time, thus wasting more of my time.
Like, I get it. Long wait times are aggravating. But don't take it out on the low end call center employee who's just trying to do their job. We have no control over this.

"yes sir, I absolutely understand your frustration, half an hour waiting time is not acceptable. We really do strive to do better. We would most certainly prefer to have enough colleagues to provide you with the support you deserve. Please feel free to send a complaint to the manager responsible for our current understaffed status at 123@123.com.
However, let us phrase continue with your current problem and solve this first, shall we? Let's see... You say you didn't order all these porn movies last month? I see. They were ordered during a week you weren't at home, just your teen son, huh? I'm just check out logs... "
(I know it never works out like that, but one can dream. I'm returning to work tomorrow after 13 days of vacation and I'm dreading it)

Is this some kind of Europe joke I'm too American to understand?
Ain't got no pocket space for that shit, and cables just break and tangle and Bluetooth batteries never last enough.There's been a rather revolutionary invention done, it's called headphones
Can you give a link to your bone conductivity headphones? I've been interested in them, but I have no idea which brand might be good.On the train, on my bike (sounds only obvs), on the toilet, while just waiting for five minutes while the wife is in the bathroom,...

More seriously, yes, in your part of the USA I imagine those aren't the most likely things to spend your time. New York subway or LA tram or whatever are American too

I'm quite happy with my Trekz Air from Aftershokz. I get better battery life than they claim, even after more than a year of intensive use.
Quality is pretty good, though obviously it suffers in the bass department.
thanks! Pricey but I've stuck them on my list for later purchaseAir

I got them at €80 or €90 in a sale. I'm actually surprised they're still soldat the same price point, they've introduced some newer models so I expected a bit of a drop. Their newer stuff tends to miss something I want, though, depending on model (smaller battery, not wireless, whatever, depending on brand).thanks!

Different reasons, and a long time ago, but I can truly relate. But that's a story for a different time, I'm focusing on the fun times back then atm.

After taking my Covid vaccine earlier today, I learned of a possible side effect:
Side effects may include staying up ridiculously late to play a snow map on Cities Skylines and becoming obsessed with heating homes and watching snow plows do their thing.
I'm 500% certain this is a side effect of the Pfizer vaccine.

Could it be having the same impact on me a week later? Different game and all....
Non stop snacking too. It’s wild.

No no no. I'm ABSOLUTELY certain it's specifically playing a winter map in Cities Skylines and being obsessed with heating homes and watching snow plows do their thing. There can't be any other rational explanation.
You're both wrong. It's upgrading your base in Subnautica.
That game looks good. I’ve been thinking about getting it.
It's so good! It's not super long, but it's got neat characters and a cool narrative device.
It's designing and building a better drowning chamber for your trade depot in Dwarf Fortress.
(My previous drowning chamber's water pressure was too high and came from only a singular source, which resulted in traders' wagons and their pack animals getting pushed by the water flow and embedded in the wall, which then necessitated deconstructing the wall and manually murdering the horses and traders. So now I've reconfigured the water source to rain down from above in multiple places, thus distributing the water pressure more evenly and pushing my victims in different directions.)

If I were a trader, I would simply not go to the fortress of dwarves.
There was a a cool trading game on Steam but it’s free to play and that scares me as I know it means “so many micro transactions” later on.
That is, of course, an option that many traders eventually take. Sometimes their civilizations will send an army to besiege my fortress instead of traders. Which then results in their army getting slaughtered by my traps and military. And then I loot the weapons off the dead and use them to make even more traps. And melt down their armor.
In previous versions of the game I could even butcher their bodies to make food out of their meat, leather and parchment out of their skin, handicrafts and bolts out of their bones and skulls, and thread out of their hair. But alas that feature has been taken out in the version I'm currently playing.
