Yeah, very similar but with steel-cut oats instead of cornmeal/flour. I’ve not had scrapple but I understand they’re very similar, both born out of German immigrants trying to stretch meat servings and save money.

Cincinnati seemed like a nice enough city though. Can’t think of any particular reason I’d ever want to go back

Clearly you’ve never had goetta.

I’ve been trying to figure out the recipe so I can put it on everything.

Edit: I say “been trying” but in reality I only made one batch of an okay attempt at a copycat recipe. Haven’t gotten around to trying again yet.

It is great, but I prefer it with steak. And ALWAYS extra creamy jalapeño sauce!

The steak BREAKFAST Crunchwrap is the greatest thing.

Or a PS5. The comparisons between PS5 and PS5 Pro are nearly impossible to notice.

Nebula is awesome.

IT WAS RIGHT THERE ALL ALONG.

The meme they’re satirizing directly, this one here, was comparing an $800 iPhone 16 with a $1300 Xperia 1 iii from three years ago.

It was pointed out several times that a few of the specs listed were things available on the iPhone 13 Pro, for a similar price point, also in 2021.

Comparing an older, more expensive thing to a newer, cheaper thing and claiming the newer cheaper thing users are missing out is disingenuous.

But of course the whole thing is stupid. People should just buy the phone they want that meets their needs and their wallets. My suspicion is that this type of behavior is the same as it was during the console wars: deep down people are insecure about their decisions and so they mock the decisions of others.

Breakfast.

People laughed about it when they announced that they were doing breakfast, but I love to try weird foods so I thought I’d give it a shot.

No joke, the Steak Breakfast Crunchwrap is my favorite piece of fast food breakfast. And (I’m mildly ashamed to admit) I’ve eaten A LOT of fast food breakfast in my life. It’s especially good if you ask for extra creamy jalapeño sauce.

Pretty much any time I have to be somewhere early in the morning these days—I’ve become quite lazy in my permanent work-from-home schedule—I motivate myself with Taco Bell breakfast.

Double-press the lock button and the camera opens on android phones (or at least you can configure it that way). Been that way for years.

Yep! That’s why I said, “something I desperately miss from my Android phones.” :)

Sure, in that the port is far more versatile than it needs to be for audio output. I’m not arguing otherwise.

both 16 and 16 pro have 128 GB base storage

I stand corrected.

That said, if you up the price to match the pictured Xperia 1 iii ($1300 when new in 2021), the iPhone Pro (13 in 2021) will have 512GB (256GB for the Pro Max at $1200). Fancy price for a fancy phone.

At the end of the day people should just buy whatever phone fits their needs and their wallets, and let others do the same. Android phones are great. iPhones are great. We’re living in the future and other than the dystopian tendencies, it’s pretty awesome.

Switching OS is a pain. And when you aren’t using it as your daily driver, it just makes it worse. It took me a couple of weeks of exclusively using iOS for it to become comfortable. If I were using Android at the same time I doubt it would’ve ever stuck and I’d still be annoyed rather than quite comfortable and agile now.

(Did i forget to mention that I want it to be an open connector? One that any vendor can make without Apple’s permission?)

Apple ditched Lightning last year. All iPhones from the 15 forward are USB-C.

So buy the $300 phone! If the iPhone isn’t your cup of tea you don’t have to buy it. You’ll sacrifice some stuff to get the price point that low, but if they’re things you don’t want or need, awesome!

That Xperia 1 iii pictured? $1300 new in 2021.

Depends on locale, I believe. I think the US version is eSIM only.

60 Hz in 2024 is crazy, aside from the fact that iPhones have been the same for the past 6 generations.

iPhone Pro has been 120Hz for a while now. Also bigger base level storage and USB. If you want the fancy specs you get the fancier phone.

I’m kinda confused on why this button is helpful. If you open the camera app on iOS, hitting either volume button will take a picture.

Opens the camera faster than going through the lock screen (something I desperately miss from my Android phones), and it’s multifunctional. You can press it with different intensity levels to get different functionality, and it’s touch sensitive so you can use it to make adjustments.

It’s not like, revolutionary. But it looks pretty cool and I’m looking forward to trying it out.

That’s fair! Whatever works for your situation.
