HakFoo, in This 9v battery contained six cells stacked like a layer cake

Disapointingly, it came wrapped in a branded metal case that you have to pry apart to see the cool layers.

FQQD,

They need to make transparent ones as a special edition xd

The metal shell is part of the protection.

FQQD,

Who needs protection when you have cool lookin batteries?

Jokes aside, maybe a print of how the insides look would be cool, too. Like the phone cases from that recent JerryRigs drama.

They used to think that sort of thing was cool in the 90s.

They were right. I stand by this claim.

I had one of those in my bedroom growing up!

A friend of mine had one as a teenager and then brought it with him to his dorm room after high school. We called it Pavlov because it had to be answered when it rang.

we must be due for that to be 'retro' trendy again.

I hope so. I don’t know if it would work to make a smartphone in a clear plastic case like that phone, but if someone did it, people would probably just complain because it was plastic and not metal or something.

ThatFembyWho,

IIRC there’s a transparent version of the Fairphone 5. Not that it’s as aesthetically interesting inside as older tech, more of a statement about the device’s modular design.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I just looked it up. It’s a little too opaque for my tastes based on what I’m talking about but you’re right, it’s not as interesting inside. Maybe that’s why other companies stopped doing it. It still makes sense if you want to show off the design of the device in a specific way like you said.

@DharmaCurious@startrek.website avatar

I can’t remember who did it, but there’s a YouTuber who always clearifies his phones when he gets a new one by removing the back and putting a gorilla glass back on it. Haven’t seen his videos in a while, I don’t think, but he has several iirc.

FQQD,

I think “Phone Repair Guru” (or something like that) does it similarly.

About a decade ago I told my spouse I wanted to customise my PC with a perspex case and some lighting inside. He was all bleurgh, why would you want to do that?! His current PC has a glass side and rainbow lights inside.

I also stand by this claim and have since the 90s. Thank you and good day, sir.

what do you mean “used to”?

dion_starfire,

I saw one of these at Target the other day in the $5-and-below section. Except it wasn’t a full phone, it was a nostalgia grab designed to be a wired “headset” for a cell phone with a headphone jack.

RubberElectrons, in I did a glucose curve on my diabetic cat today
@RubberElectrons@lemmy.world avatar

Ooof, if I had numbers like this (assuming mg/dL?) Is get a talking to from my doc. Good luck to you both!

zeppo, in I did a glucose curve on my diabetic cat today
@zeppo@lemmy.world avatar

What is a cat’s glucose supposed to be? And how do you measure it? That would be a lot of ear pricks.

Zerlyna, (edited )
@Zerlyna@lemmy.world avatar

This is a human monitor and for a cat on human test it should read between 50-120. Yup lots of pricks. He was a trooper today!

zeppo,
@zeppo@lemmy.world avatar

Between 50 and 120? Interesting. For a human the range is 70-140. Most people with T1 try to stay around the middle as to avoid going low.

piotrm, in I did a glucose curve on my diabetic cat today

Is this normal? I take it you dont normally have to take this many readings in order to administer daily?

Zerlyna,
@Zerlyna@lemmy.world avatar

It was super high to start with. I’ve read Vetsulin only lasts 8 hours and I wanted to see how it changes throughout the day. Usually prick him before the shot to get an idea of how much to give him.

zeppo,
@zeppo@lemmy.world avatar

I had a cat with diabetes and they never even gave me a tester… just said 1 unit of Lantus a day.

Zerlyna,
@Zerlyna@lemmy.world avatar

I bought one myself. He’s been on Vetsulin for 3 months and still drinking water like crazy. I’ve heard Lantus is better but I have a vial of Vetsulin to use up so I want to better monitor him.

devilkitty,

The three diabetics I’ve cared for were all best controlled with a combination of diet and Levemir. Fancy Feast pate-style and no dry food; no need for “special” (read “way overpriced” food).

Check with Diabetic Cats in Need about the best ways to source Levemir or Lantus. I used to live in the Detroit area and just drove to Canada for it where it is over-the-counter and less expensive…

zeppo, (edited )
@zeppo@lemmy.world avatar

I see, it seems to be “porcine insulin zinc suspension”, which I think used to be used in humans but isn’t any longer. I thought perhaps it might be Levemir or NPH. Lantus is definitely pretty good… not just for cats, I have T1 so I’ve tried various insulins. It’s quite stable over 24 hours.

weariedfae, in U.S. 6 in Nevada Tonopah, Nevada A stretch of highway even lonelier than the so-called "Loneliest Road in America."

Huh. Apparently I’ve driven both a bunch of times without realizing they were the “loneliest” roads. They didn’t feel any different than normal highways around there, and there were plenty of other cars. It’s it just because of lack of services?

I love it out that way. Fantastic geology!

Got a notification in similar vein a while ago from Xbox.

Theirs is better as it says to hold the action butt

friendlymessage,

It’s also better because the font is not awful

SnipingNinja,

I agree, but didn’t mention coz it’s their phone and they can make it as bad as they want.

Unforeseen, in Unfortunate cropping of a phone notification

I’m more impressed you have multiple phones handy in order to be able to do said photo

threelonmusketeers, (edited )

Is this not a screenshot?

Edit: Maybe not, there are some strange moiré-like patterns surrounding the text…

DarkThoughts,

It very obviously is not? You can literally see the frame of the phone and OP even said in the description that it is a photo of a phone screen.

tiredofsametab,

If not a screenshot, you do realize that things other than phones take pictures, right? Have people forgotten that cameras exist?

MossyFeathers, in Unfortunate cropping of a phone notification

There’s a streamer I sometimes watch on twitch who used to play a game and then spend some time watching analog horror that chat had recommended. He intentionally phrased his stream titles so they’d show up in twitch notifications as, “now: [game/activity] later: anal…”

ASeriesOfPoorChoices, in Unfortunate cropping of a phone notification

Truncated, not cropped.

Cropped is for images.

bobagem,

Yes, agreed.
