what features would you look for when choosing between flip phones?
  • So first phone was an Ericson T10, this was basically the cheapest GSM in the late 90's. After that I got a Nokia 3310 (flashed with 3315 firmware and with a Bacardi case) which had a bigger screen, so multiple lines of text on-screen. Also, you could send images over SMS and install custom midi ringtones. Next a Samsung X600 with a color screen and camera. After that a T-Mobile MDA vario (rebranded HTC Wizard 200) which was a less than great very bulky phone, but it had windows and a (stylus only) touch screen. I can't really remember why I got it though. After that a Nokia N95, the last one before my first smart phone, which was a LG optimus 2X.

  • Wisdom of the Ages!
  • I would have argued against you a week ago, but since the debate between Biden and Trump one can only hope the democrats come to their senses and withdraw Biden as a candidate (if it isn't too late, I don't know a lot about US politics). If Trump manages to get elected again, he'll help Putin win this war and take credit for ending it.

  • If you ever worked shifts and transitioned to a 9 to 5 job, how difficult was the change?
  • I worked shifts as an operator in a chemical plant. Took the opportunity to work days about 15 years ago (was about 35 years old then), never had a problem with it. I didn't make any less money because of it, because the 9-5 job was a somewhat promotion. Pro's were for me being all weekends off, like all the people I know. cons were less off time between. Biggest pro; get to be around my kids at more regular times. But it really depends on the jobs.

  • You could also argue that men are a little handier. /s

    Seriously, if you feel depressed, burnt out or plain suicidal, talk to someone about it. Mental health problems can hardly ever be powered through alone.

  • South Park (TV Show)
  • I hardly watch TV. I've seen some episodes over the years, and it's not for me. I don't hate it, but it just feels like someone trying to be edgy. It might be that I'm from Europe, so I can't really relate to a lot of stuff going on.

  • Europeans of Lemmy, what places in Europe should foreigners avoid at all cost?
  • True, but also if you go to Amsterdam as a tourist, you'll end up in the tourist trap places. Shady coffee shops, tours of the red light district, and over priced bars where you have to pay for toilet usage. And you can be rushed through the Anne Frank house for a price.

  • The Delusion of Advanced Plastics Recycling
  • In Europe, big oil companies are teaming up with waste companies to source waste plastics. Traditional mechanical recyclers are already doing bad, because the same big oil is flooding the market with cheap virgin plastics. Chemical recycling is basically a big (marketing big, not actual big) green washing scam.

  • That’ll be Why the Median is Barely Over 40
  • Maybe as a rule of thumb it would always be the lowest bracket for the US. I live in the Netherlands, and the mode here is as a rule of thumb about 79% of the average. This gives a mode of 44000 euros annually. So it doesn't have to be the lowest bracket.

  • What is an easy instrument to learn?
  • The easiest to learn is the kazoo in my experience.

    More serious: reading music isn't nessecary to learn how to play an instrument. For instance, guitar can be played using tabs or even chord progressions.
