There was a subreddit called /r/NoRulesCalgary that I liked, but turns out there are rules, like not insulting other members, so that was pretty short lived for me. I was in absolute heaven at first, though.

You are such a ####!

WTF? I can’t even call you a ####!?

Call me an eternal optimist. I like to see the best in people. Like the Dalai Lama

What a bunch of horsecockery.

What about something like this, and mount it to your monitor instead?

Those beats look like they were shrunken down to 1/3rd their normal size in photoshop...

Thanks, I like the idea. Not sure if it will work - I'm an android guy, and my phone is not magnetic. Wonder if putting a metal plate between the phone and case would work, or would that disrupt the wireless charging?

That magnetic situation on iPhones is so cool (Android guy as well).

I didn't look if there were other options with a little shelf or something, that was just for the general idea.

A simple metal plate in the centre would disrupt charging. You'd need a case that has strategically positioned magnets or plates to take advantage of both magnetism and wireless charging.

I think you can buy MagSafe cases.

Yes this concept. I couldn't remember the name and I thought Magsafe was an Apple proprietary term.

Isn't this always how it goes? My search started by looking for a simple headphone stand. My headphones are wireless, so a stand with a usb charging port would be nice. Then I thought I could combine it with a phone holder. Well, if the stand already has usb, why not a phone holder with a charger - may as well make it wireless because it's a pain plugging in/unplugging all the time. And now I may need to buy a new case for the phone.

I can see my wife's eye roll already.

Ha! This is the same thing that happened to me when I put new flooring in my shop... I need to take off the baseboards... so I'll paint them... but then i better paint the walls also becuz a new floor with freshly painted baseboards and old wall paint would look bad. And I might as well update the material on my sound absorbing walls so the colour goes with my freshly painted walls. And then I need to refinish my work tables becuz they look terrible compared to all the new stuff in the shop! Ha ha!
On the bright side, my shop looked awesome after "new flooring"!

They make hanging a sliding barn door look sooooooo easy. It's not. I did not block off enough time for this.

Cockney rhyming slang can be useful when you want to call someone a James Blunt when you are on your way to do a Barry White.

I thought it was "Berk"? I heard it came from "Berkshire Hunt", a place in England. As always, likely many origins.

I thought after everybody watched The Banshees of Inisherin, we’d be seeing the more elegant, “feck” takeover from the tired old “fata” swear replacement.

I guess “fata” is kind of CP-born though and unique.
