    I looked on backmarket and they have two tiers of battery level - 80-89% capacity and 90-99% with prices to reflect. I guess it would depend which phones you are moving from to know how much newer would make a difference? Apple Store doesn't go any older than the 15 for their refurbished models. As to whether it is smart to replace the battery, again that depends on use and if the current phone is near the end of being able to load the newest iOS?

    Title is “Meet Cute” (2022) Link to video Of the “crazy chick keep using a time machine to fix her one date” genre, very well executed, a pretty smart treatment of an otherwise dumb genre.

    it’s a bold to move to make a change into something more creative and fulfilling. Reminds me of the leap of faith I took to become a bank accountant…

    @wtg said: About the tariffs on alcohol... https://theconversation.com/trumps-new-tariffs-give-ontario-and-quebec-the-perfect-excuse-to-sell-their-unsold-american-booze-287930 Anecdotally, folks in my area are fine with them putting US booze back on the shelves to placate the US, though most people say they wouldn’t buy it anyway. I’ve heard folks suggest that we should put it back on shelves but on the bottom shelf, which I think is a great gesture.

    @AndyD I highly recommend the one about playing the part of a Christmas elf. After watching that video I decided I do believe in Santa. Heck, I'll get the link for it, others might enjoy it as well... Link to video

    When it was listing everything he carried with him in his packs all o could think of was “and 4 extra batteries”. That’s a lot of weight. I’m sure the technology has improved a bit but when the boy and I rented e-bikes in Norway and Sweden they barely lasted 5-6 hours even with no extra weight.
