If he's held in contempt, it's an excuse to stop doing the things he probably personally disagrees with anyway (since the government is essentially a rogue actor). At least the poo…

I rented a BYD M9 PHEV minivan while on vacation in Cancun, Mexico and other than the vehicle winning over my family in, like 2 days, the mileage was amazing. 1000km range, of whic…

If you don't have a regime that supports the medication, you could suffer some real problems. Drinking a LOT of water is mandatory. As well as eating lots of fiber - like good p-fr…

Have you considered tirzepatide (ie, Zepbound/Mounjaro)? I know several people who responded poorly to Wegovy who did great on Zep.

Capitalist systems (even used in moderation by China) based on Keynesian economics relies on constant growth.

Except Apple ditched their firebrand founder to fumble it all. In Tesla's case they are tied to the hip of their "founder" and are fumbling it. Stonk still high though so...

They should but they're not. They are also controlled by the interests that control the US. Europe could be relevant again if it only embraced China and gave NATO the finger.

Non-skeuomorphic style simply allowed for easier adaptation to varying screen sizes that iOS devices were beginning to adopt at the time.

You are confusing a 2-way race with a 3-way race. Mamdani could've won with a lot less than 50% (since there was no ranked choice - and even if it was, I doubt any Sliwa voter woul…

Sodium Ion looks far more promising for home or industrial scale battery storage.

Cancelled my R2 reservation just now. Seriously why ditch even basic CarPlay?

If true...

Israel is now damaged goods. You interact with them at a reputational cost. It's only going to get worse as they don't seem to want to stop the genocide.

The 12 mini and 13 mini had very substandard batteries compared to the mainline version or the SE. There are a lot of people who probably would've bought the mini but instead of op…

Most of the new ICE agents are just militia members in government clothing. Now they get paid to do what they've been doing before.
