Step 1: Put the front on.
Step 2: Don’t let the front fall off.

Please! If I could just get a solid Linux phone with a decent up-to-date browser, that would be 99% of my use covered.

Edit: Now that I look at it, perhaps it’s time for me to cough up, buy a FP5, and ubuntu that sucker.

It’s the classic trap.
Wait long enough to be sure that a product is actually good, and poof, the next model comes out.

Glad I wasn’t tempted by the 5, in that case!

I like the fact you can move the number pad to the left hand side (left-pad lol).

I’ve always fancied a left hand numpad, but never quite enough to buy a separate one for a TKL, or a special board.

Maybe it was invented in Alabama.

I will second OsmAnd. You need to use the paid version from the app store to use CarPlay, but personally I really like it, and use it regularly.

Offline maps are important to me, and it’ll happily route me even when there is no signal.

The only downside is, it’s only as detailed as OSM (which in all honesty, is often better than gmaps. Plus you can easily contribute things that are missing)

£10/y or £40/perpetual for the version that activates CarPlay (and gives you regular offline map downloads, as the free version only gives you 8 before you have to either pay or side load).

And honestly, I’m not that mad that it’s chargeable. They make a good free product based on OSM, I don’t mind chipping them a tenner.

The price drop recently is making me suspicious.
Though it’s still a good deal, so I may get a 5 anyway on payday.

I’ve genuinely considered moving there.

They have a radio station, and it’s run by the chillest guy ever. Just playing tunes, and chatting between.

ICE can be a lot cheaper if you book ahead.
Non-ICE on the Deutschlandticket is a goddamned bargain, so long as you navigate the gotchas on the payment and recurring.

That’s really interesting. So what you’re saying is, Germany sold more to the states than they bought, but the states were able to “keep” the money by marking off that Germany had so much gold.

And I guess now, Germany is concerned that the states may no longer honour that ledger.

I love pom-bears, but love Lidl’s Teddy’s Hit even more.
Unfortunately, I’ve never seen them for sale in the UK.

North Taytos, or South Taytos?
A very important question.

I quite like the tesco finest crinkle cut ready salted.
150g bag for £1.25 or so. The only downside is, the flavour varies (I think it’s the freshness of the oil for that batch).

Tyrell’s are good.
They’re owned by KP Snacks, a UK based company, who also make:

I have some of the NFC/USB sticks Token2 make.
Which are neat, as you can stick the seeds on there, then retrieve them so long as you have physical access, and the passkey.

Sounds like a 6 ohm resistor solution.

Imagine if they introduced a law, that if you had defaulted on your student loans, you were not able to get a passport.
That would reduce the number of highly skilled people leaving the country if it got really shit.

I’m the complete opposite: I don’t like rinsing under a running tap, so a single bowl means farting around with a container for the rinsing water.

The ninjas will get you.
