These guys have said “this is a mute point” about 5x now 🤣
A dude at work does that every single time we are in a meeting. Drives me nuts.

He also says "irregardless", "I could care less" and "supposebly" very often. A couple times he said "Liberry" instead of "Library".

I wonder how he got hired.

its pretty funny, cause just today I passed a 90's tacoma driven by a :manuel: who can't drive for shit and he was wearing them too. I seen them in older cars that mostly have a broken stereo.
I'd say a solid 20% of drivers in the city have headphones in.
They're also the ones that blow stop signs and come closest to running the pup over because they're aloof.
I drive with headphones because I have never had a car where the Bluetooth worked acceptably. And I always talk on the phone on my way in and out of work

At least he speaks some sort of English.

Really?? Wow, 0/7
Apple headphones have been trash for a long time. Which is why I think it's funny to see people wearing the air pods.
:dat: I also hear they're problematic and not sweat proof, yet I see people in the gym wearing them. Also they use the same system as my beats headphones, which I learned when mine took shit and got a free replacement with warranty by the apple store since beats is now owned by apple.

im not a fan of those either, knowing I can get cheaper ones that are just as good or better, and won't be easier to lose. That's what im afraid of with AirPods, and yet I see people rocking them all the time.

The AirPod Software and hardware Integration Are great. Nothing comes close. Their Bluetooth hardware is the best. But the sound quality is blah mainly because they went one size fits all on their bud design

:themoreyouknow: pretty much the functionality is great when it comes to use, but not so much with what it was intended to built for.

Like most apple products, the marketing and functionality of the user experience is top notch, but the actual performance is nothing spectacular.

I have two sets of air pods from when I was using my iPhone XS Max for more than a Porsche data connection and they sounded terrible. One set is still sealed and I'm about to sell them. The charging case is awesome and a great idea. The implementation of using one pod to keep one ear open is a bit lacking and will often trigger the "buds not inserted" feature and pause the audio.

The new version should fix that, yeah, since they have changeable buds and a test to see what works best for your ear?

Was taking a golf cart from our yard to the Base for a meeting and the fucking thing died on me. Someone must not have plugged it in last night. Had to push it back into our yard and to a charging area to plug it in. Heavy as fuck

:dat:

My quartz countertops are almost 100% non-porous and are thus highly rated by the National Sanitation Foundation, iirc, because bacteria has almost nowhere to grow. A simple occasional wipe down with a soapy sponge,k or vinegar, or even a bit of Windex keeps it plenty clean.
Same...but I still put a paper towel down when making a sandwich. It doubles as a holder/napkin when I'm eating the sandwich, so it's a win/win.
Putting the paper down is not in question. We're talking about slapping a piece of bread on the counter and slathering some PB and Jelly all around it.

I thought that was the question though?

What's the question then?

Is the countertop an acceptable cooking/prepping surface.
