I was gonna say, only now? I’m in the US and can see it’s been a bad actor since at least the end of WW2.

The vast majority I worked with could be flexed a full 180 but had a preference to a specific angle based on either how they were packaged or moulded. We did have a few with cheaper antennas break internally with repeated flexing and tugging, those were all remote only.

In practice we found that that tails moulded into a tight C shape made them easier to wear under clothes as straighter J shaped designs would make an obvious bulge in tight clothes and shift around more freely during movement.

While I can’t vouch for the in person details, sex toys were a hyperfixation for me because I was going to open a sex shop myself. My findings were that around 86% of full silicon egg vibrators use comparable motors. So when the shop owner said it won’t bring you to orgasm, that’s scam language. They were looking for the upsell.

Now, like someone else said, good reciever is the make or break here, a lot of the remote only models we tested just had a single wire loop for an antenna, which is not reliable and prone to breaking in use. If you’re planning for anything other than personal use in a bedroom setting, look for Bluetooth compatibility.

Lastly, some other things to consider are charging style and battery life. Battery life is an obvious, if you take longer you’re going to be pretty peeved if it dies. As for chargers, I found that bare contacts will corode over time and models with rubber caps that cover a USB mini are worthless. Possibly the best option I’ve seen across the board was using 1.5mm mono audio jack that pushed through a raised silicone nipple. The seal was reliable at 2.5m water depth (deepest pool we could find locally), the cord itself was durable and easily sourced if you needed a new one, and the interface was waterproof enough that my test subject could charge it during use.

All of this is to say, price isn’t really a good tell. You’re better off looking for something that’s well reviewed and fits your needs.

My 3d printer is half 3d printed and a fourth recycled garbage. I’ve laid hands on every single part in her and hopefully soon I’ll replace the box as a whole with a vintage tv cabinet and finally put a 30cm heated bed in her. The only thing I can’t replace is the thermistor because I don’t know how to program for a modem one.

I’m subscribed to his YouTube channel, the guy just likes to show off how cool space stuff is.

To add whimsy to the world.

I love this show! It genuinely feels like a great setting for a table top game.

I’m currently writing this on a phone that’s 7 or 8 years old. I’ve had it long enough that it’s bent a little from the tension of being in my pocket. The battery has held up pretty well given my absolute abuse of it. I’ve certainly gotten my $200 worth but I’m not looking forward to having to get a new one.

Actually I do. My partner has a specific smile she only gets when eating persimmons and I refuse to turn down a chance to see it.

I can’t answer your question, but your story is cute as fuck.

That’s not violence, it’s self defence.

Oh holy shit! That would be amazing for my home media server!

What does syncthing do? It came preinstalled on bazzite and I’ve never had a reason to launch it.

Weird all Yankovic.

He’s been around for ages, doing parodies of everything but hasn’t managed to make a single enemy. He’s smart, he’s caring, he’s never involved in any scandals, and I guarantee he’d only use this power to better everyone.

I wish I had the time or skill to be one of those indie developers. Id kill for a modern pocket pet game but it doesn’t look like anyone else will. Maybe after I get my BA.

Iron sky is a masterpiece and anyone who says otherwise is getting the arian treatment.

I love this movie so much for exactly the same reason

This is actually something I’ve run into in my day to day. I changed my full name when I got married because I’ve hated my name for my whole life. My old name was very cute and very white, and I frequently got questions about the beloved children’s show I was named after. It made being a working adult pretty hard. What I didn’t expect was that my new name is heavily assumed to be Latino. I was going for the Italian poet but a few people have been confused to find an absolute honky in the interview.

I’ve actually taken to it the same way I do Minecraft. I expect I’ll run out of game to do eventually as everyone keeps saying there isn’t any depth, but I’ve spent the last few days smuggling gravatino orbs off sentinal planets and building a hookah lounge in the portside barracks of my ship. I just wish I could type logs up ingame like I journal in Minecraft.

Honestly I think the loneliness is what really got me into it. Recently I’ve lost touch with my usual gaming group due to scheduling conflicts and it makes it hard to play a multiplayer game knowing what could have been. Nms feels like it gets that and the whole story basically centers around that feeling. It’s kind of cathartic.
