There's something down there!

Thanks :)

Had a tricky patch in life. Recovered. I remember the calls and letters from that time, and the relief of finding a way out. Not sure if it can help OP, but hope there's something similar available today.

In Australia we have a thing called a part 9 debt agreement. If you enter into one of those it's an 'act of bankruptcy' but you have an agreement with creditors to pay them off over a long period and potentially without interest.

Once in an agreement I believe they must stop hassling you.

Source: had one 20+ years ago.

I could have gone bankrupt instead, but it wasn't fair to the people who I owed money to.

A bit late maybe? Are we moving away to other battery tech?

My phone was on 5% battery so I turned it off. While sitting on the shitter, I examined its pale blue body (Moto g84) and observed the dents on the edges from the times it had fallen to a hard surface.

I reminisced back 30 years when it would have been a Phillips, Hanimex, Aiwa or Sony walkman that had been my similar constant companion, whose design was etched in my memory after months or years of use.

They're kind of right. We don't see the phone for what it is, but rather for what it displays; although the intimate knowledge of the contols of the phone remain.

A multimeter on DC.

What about smoke?

But yeah, don't finger kids.

I might take it apart and put the innards in my 85 Bluebird for fun. But it's probably DRM'd so who knows when it'll kill itself. It'd be like driving an HP printer - get in one day and the bastard will say PC LOAD LETTER, or more contemporary, "Problem with the ink system."

Oddball here. I like mod files and midi files :)

Booka Shade is also good.

Oh, and also Theatre Organ stuff if you have a subwoofer.

That's fair and I've suggested the same before as well.

Seems odd to me, but then I rarely downvote anything.

Being able to block German and French instances easily might be helpful though. I can't read them.
