I did not expect this to be so close. I actually expected the phone to come out on top as I often see people wearing a watch not use it – and when I use mine, I often get “never seen that" comments from cashiers.
I think “Mostly Phone" would pull into a clear lead with a more representative sample than Mastodon users.

That didn't last long. Bought a (Chinese) replacement pack instead of cells for the Dyson vacuum last time, because cells come by ship which takes 3 months and we needed to vacuum.
They were crap of course and are dying already. This time I'll just get cells and maybe I can find where I left the original pack with the original BMS so I don't have to use this one.

@tinker @JdeBP That's an extraordinary claim requiring extraordinary evidence. it presupposes an Episcopalian and two Catholics are going to agree enough on theology to combine their rulings, which doesn't suggest the accuser knows much about their Christianity.
I push back on this because America has a bad habit of letting criticism of Christianity fall over into anti-Catholicism (JFK was the first Catholic President; being of that faith would have been damn-near disqualifying in the generation before him). So if we're going to make this sort of claim, the conspiracy-map had better be rock-solid.

Trump just signed an EO to try and overhaul our election system in an attempt to rig future elections. Mike Johnson's been attempting to unilaterally unseat judges that have ruled against Trump which shows the lengths MAGA will go to hang onto power. Stefanik is out and the Florida special election is competitive.
That's how worried they are that what they're doing is not sustainable.

Hey #believeinfilm friends,
Looks like film photography has been recognized as a cultural heritage in Germany and is on a path toward UNESCO recognition:
Do you think it should be listed as such, and what may this do for our craft?
Film photography is now recognized as a cultural heritage in Germany and is on the path to UNESCO listing.
