I really like their concept. I can see why people would sign up for this. I just didn't like their small selection of designs. The impression I got from their website was that they only have a handful of fabrics that they use for both male and female. I was expecting more rainbows and unicorns, but the one rainbow unicorn male boxer design didn't grab my attention like I thought it would.
Still beats paying $5 a pair for generic boxers at walmart. If I had the extra cash, I'd say why not and sign up.
>> I just didn't like their small selection of designs.
They may only have a small-ish selection of designs at any one time, but they cycle very quickly; if you subscribe you get a new/unique design each month.
I wouldn't recommend any of the current generation kindles. I've been gifted every single Kindle there is, and I have to say that $50 is not worth it unless you really just want a throwaway tablet as an alarm clock or something. It's cheap for the following reasons:
1) you're stuck inside the shitty Amazon App store ecosystem. Lots of developers hate that Amazon created their own separate app store, so expect no major apps on the download section of your kindle's app store. Especially not Google apps like YouTube. Just the lowest quality of low effort apps made by foreign developers.
2) screen and speaker quality sucks now compared to previous kindles. The UI and user experience has just always been bad because you don't get anything resembling stock Android OS. You have to use whatever weird skin that Amazon decided to tack on to their weird and limited version of Android.
3) the tablet's price is subsided by ads. It's cheap because you have to see a different ad every time you unlock the Kindle screen.
The kindle's speakers used to sound amazing on the old HD, I forgot what it's called but it was the best tablet Amazon ever made. Every Kindle ever since has been significantly worse.
Id you want a tablet, find some $80-$100 Chinese tablet from somewhere that can at least doesn't blast you with ads. It's worth it.
You can probably justify the expenses as "travel expenses" that you would have done anyway. If I was rich and had no job AND I had an important place that needed mapping, I wouldn't mind doing this just to get to play with the gadgets.
I could be wrong, but don't people have autocorrect on their phones that will correct the character based on context? Is that even possible?
Lets say somebody wants to say "how I eat" in spanish. The correct way to do it would be "cómo como". "cómo" means how, and "como" means "I eat". I wouldn't make sense to say "como cómo", so therefore, autocorrect should, in theory, feel free to correct all instances of "como como". Only until it becomes an international household brand name will this ever be a problem- for this one phrase at least.
Afaik autocorrect doesn’t work for Slovenian. And even if it does, most people I know have it disabled because our colloquialisms use a lot of English, some German, plenty of Serbocroatian, and sometimes Italian. We often spell those loan words our own way.
This combination of languages and intentionally incorrect spellings makes autocorrect total trash.
I've had some of the best lucid dreams I've ever had while my sleep was disrupted by living in the second story of a building smack dab in the corner of a very busy street corner during broad daylight. I had a night job so my sleep schedule was from 7am to 3pm. All in all I had half a dozen lucid dreams and one mindblowingly extreme out-of-body experience which left me breathless upon waking. I think I even had a night terror or two while I was there.
I didn't hate it. Sleeping during the day has taught me how to put a pillow over my head in order to block out all light, and now I can sleep in the brightest loudest room without trouble.
I haven't had lucid dreams since then, or if I have, they've been really really rare and extremely hard to remember. Now that I think about it... Could my lucid dreams and OOB have been triggered by smog from the traffic in that area??
>I've had some of the best lucid dreams I've ever had while my sleep was disrupted by living in the second story of a building smack dab in the corner of a very busy street corner
Though not during the day, I lived in a second floor apartment that overlooked a traffic circle that had an elevated subway stop, was a main route for ambulances going to the hospital a block away, and a crucial interchange for traffic entering/existing that part of the city. I barely slept for the first few days and then got the best sleep of my life. I rarely woke up for anything other than my nightly trip to the restroom.
Fast forward a few years and I now live in the suburbs. I've been woken up several times in the past month by the sounds of a mouse scurrying in the ceiling of an adjacent room.
Probably $3-6k but with the associated risks and punishments of a $30k crime, and much more if you happen to have a firearm on you while committing it.
serious question: Why do people like to do work or leisure in pitch black rooms? Don't you feel clumsy, sleepy and uncomfortable when everything is dark? How can anybody go more than 10 minutes without needing to use vision to interact with their surrounding environment?
I personally can't have the lights off even if I'm watching a movie. Maybe because I was raised without TV, I can't sit still for more than 20 minutes watching entertainment before I feel the urge to do something productive like wasting time on the internet.
> serious question: Why do people like to do work or leisure in pitch black rooms?
I prefer low light, not pitch black. Generally speaking I want my monitor to be the main focus. Same for TV; if I care about the viewing experience I dim the lights. I might even prefer pitch black honestly, but due to the reasons being discussed, the contrast is just too great.
> Don't you feel clumsy, sleepy and uncomfortable when everything is dark?
Nope
> How can anybody go more than 10 minutes without needing to use vision to interact with their surrounding environment?
Not sure, tbh. I imagine it has to do with not wanting to interact with the environment most of the time. Ie, what am I going to do with my banister? It's just sitting there.. why do I need to interact with it? Most of my house is the same way. If I'm doing X, rarely do I need to interact with the rest of the house or room.
Does it bother you that there are things behind your head that you can't see?
Very personal answer to your serious question (sorry if it isn’t relevant for others): I can’t stand the stimulus caused by light (one of the problems that come with being part of the autistic spectrum). I wear sunglasses at work (because of the bright fluorescent lights above). Being able to work in the dark is a relief.
It's funny that I'm reading this thread because I just went through this exact same thing last night and it was weird. I don't ever make a habit of using my phone in the dark, but I did yesterday and I did at full brightness and for many hours and it did not feel good.
Eventually after like 6 hours in the dark and accidentally using just one eye for reading- eventually I started to see really trippy and weird visual noise in the dark areas of the room. I also noticed that if shone at the right angle- the pitch black areas of the room suddenly lit up, as though I was giving my over-exposed eye some kind of night vision, which is weird because you'd expect an oversaturated eye to be completely blind in the darkness.
Now this is all anecdotal, but reading screens in pitch black light has always felt bad for me. I don't understand people who insist on watching TV shows or movies in a fully pitch black room. I mean I get why school teachers and home theater enthusiasts do it- but for normal TV viewing, it just seems wrong to me.
