Low-bandwidth cellular chip…

Depends on where you live and where you plan to go with it. Our EV at current range is fine to get to the nearby large city in the summer over a fairly long stretch of highway. In winter it would probably be doable but at the least it impact our stopping/charging schedule. At 70% range it might not be doable at all in winter and we’d have to be careful in summer. Governments pushing EVs absolutely should be pushing a reasonable recycle/replacement cycle for batteries and the infrastructure to support that.

That’s a regular thing with Jerboa

A lot of companies seem to pull this shit. Went to buy a product from ba Canadian company (in Canada) on their website. Prices were in dollars but no mention of CAD or USD. I used PayPal as the last step so thankfully it told me it’d be converting currency, at which point I cancelled. If I’d tried to pay by card to directly I would likely just have been charged with no idea of the currency difference until later

No shit, right? While not all people in that group are racists, bigots, or homophobes it is the side which is more likely to attract such. Gotta have some real blinders on to think that a black, gay man is going to be welcomed by all as “part of the team”

Is there an audiobook version?

My phone has started glitching a bit over the last month or two. I JUST reached the end of the point out was paid off under my plan, which is kinda suspicious to me.

In there past, I’ve always bought phones outright but this particular one there was a sale where it was cheaper to finance though my provider.

They’re fine for certain things on an evolving menu etc, but not anything where a tactile sense might be needed to avoid distraction. A lack of volume knob is the thing that pisses me off the most in many vehicles, including my own.

Also, power should be a physical cutoff and NOT a soft button for head units. The one of my car is a software toggle and when the system started glitching, froze and also put out high volume noise with no way to kill it except to shut off the vehicle when I could safely do so

Sounds like an earlier version of this

Yeah. I basically focusing on nitpicky professional details and missing the “is this movie entertaining/fun” part.

To those people, if there’s no Devil then it means all the bad stuff in their heads and hearts is just them. All the temptations are them. All the hatred, including self-hatred is them. There’s no Devil that made them do it or think it, no external tempter or defiler to resist. They can’t take that.

I do but it’s certain circumstances where it make sense (on aircraft or when I’ve got a good pair of wired earbuds/headphones on me). Sometimes I use Bluetooth, sometimes wired but I appreciate having a CHOICE!

These are great

But, what if the player from the other team trips and falls over one of them. They might get pregnant! - concerned soccer-mom

Ditto. “The Cloud” is just another name for somebody else’s computer which you don’t control

Raw high-def video and image files? But yeah, there’s unlimited and then there’s kinda pushing the limits of what’s reasonable. 233TB is more than the contents of some orgs’ datacenters

Which is a matter of how little they’re allowed to have. If there were some sort of minimums that might actual force them to be somewhat effective.

Instead it’s a race to the bottom of “your business is important to us, but nobody gives a fuck about your satisfaction”

Somebody should redo this but with Hanks’ actual arm and then a skinny geek-arm :-)

To scalp something though you’d have to have enough people want a thing that’s hard to get. I’m not sure that’s the case with the CT anymore

So, a third ceasefire now, with them starting new attacks within 30 minutes or less? Or are we past third yet?
