Stick Figure - World on Fire. Beautiful ear worm.

Hard disagree. It is. It’s the root of most of humanities problems. I don’t know how you could think otherwise.

Israel wants Gaza so they’ve finally found a way to take it. That’s selfishness at the most root. Monopoly Capitalism is a higher level issue.

Right, humans are selfish. That’s the root problem.

This is the cleanest way but does take some work to get going. It also has the benefit of full video quality when web only shows 720p.

Opener. Opens things in the app you want when iOS won’t.

Pretext. Markdown and Plain Text Editor for iOS. Simple and works. Can’t beat that.

Love the price. Hate the lack of physical buttons for temp and the lack of instrument cluster. Never liked driving cars with it on the center console.

NES:

• Kickle Cubicle. Absolutely fun stage based action puzzler. Try it, it’s totally pick up and play.
• Robo Warrior. Stage based action top down shooter. Difficulty is up there and the soundtrack is kickin’.

GB:

• Hyper Lode Runner. Side scrolling single stage collect the items and get to the warp before the enemies kill you.

Give someone blood with antigens when they don’t have antigens and things go badly. Now they can test for non-antigen blood and ensure they give the correct blood and save their life.

This is what got me. There are 5 of us in our household and all of us have devices. 500/500 is what I went with even though I could have 1Gb/1Gb. Most of the time 500/500 is faster than the servers we’re on. I don’t do a ton of download images or anything and we’ve never had an issue streaming 4K/gaming all at once so on it we sit. I just don’t see the point of moving to 1Gb. I’ll probably have to be forced onto it in the future. My service has 2.5Gb in places and is looking to go 10Gb at some point. That’s just completely unnecessary currently and would be a waste of money for most.

EV only vehicle manufacturers are not doing a great job on the servicing side of the business with months wait times. Robison is up to 6 mo right now. That’s unacceptable when your AC fails. This is where the large manufacturers have the upper hand, if they can ever get it together and make 1) vehicles that aren’t a 2nd mortgage and 2) cheaper to repair.

A rear quarter panel on a Rivian R1S is $20K+ as the entire side of the vehicle has to come off to get to it. Rivian only sells the quarter panel with the entire side. You can’t just get the rear quarter panel. Absolutely insane engineering.

From the recent reviews I’ve seen in Australia (BYD has a large presence there) everyone comes away extremely impressed.

It’s funny how everyone forgets that all of our favorite high quality and hard to manufacture electronics are made by Chinese companies as well. The Chinese have perfected manufacturing from the lowest end garbage all the way to cutting edge. It’s impressive honestly.

Great book.

Agreed, we’re living in the a computer/phone is an appliance age. This is also why there is a movement that doesn’t like electric vehicles. They’re just too accessible and they don’t like that. Same mentality here. The only main difference is of course there is librehardware out there AND software. Just about the entirety of Linux ecosystem is this. If one wants to tinker and make them personal all one has to do is build a home lab. Plenty of maintenance on one of those and it’s probably not affecting one’s day to day life.

Appreciate the heads up. Will watch.

Which is insane since they’ve mostly been using iOSs or Androids built in password manager for as long as that’s been a thing on both. Doubt they even realize that’s what it is though.

Hey now, Apple Maps is more accurate, provides better directions where I am, has more up to date satellites imagery, and has been this way for years. I only use Google Maps to search because Yelp is god awful. I live in a rapidly expanding area and all of that matters.

Roblox. If you were there in the beginning then you know how empty it was. Now, that’s mostly what my son plays to what just make the most money/things? I don’t get it myself (I’m old, lol).

Makes sense to me. Open office designs SUCK. I share an office with 2 other people and I’m much, much more productive in my home office with 3 kids in the house because I can shut my door, be alone with my thoughts, and be productive.
