That’s a bigger screen than my pixel 6a, which is borderline unusable one handed for me. I’m in the market for a new, smaller phone, but unless they’ve warped space to get this thing smaller I don’t know how it completes against all the non ‘mini’ phones which will be mere millimeters larger

$4 for the cheapest at the cheapest grocery store near Charlotte, NC. Limit 2 per customer too

Would love something like this for field notes, though for my uses a eink screen would be preferable. Hopefully this or the equivalent takes off and we can start getting fun variables in the future!

Doesn’t the congestion revenue explicitly help fund public transportation? Which would help mitigate a lot of the issues you bring up, there will for sure be growing pains but with smart decisions should adapt to the needs of traffic

This isn’t a young person problem and it isn’t new, it’s just getting worse. See Fox news on Trump 8 years ago or more through now

For sure, though I get the op point that at least Trump pretends to promise them something unlike every other group

And when there is money it’s often earmarked in ways that severely restrict its use for, e.g., paying for software

Oh please let Trump’s first dictatorial move be to strip Elon of his wealth. We’re all going to suffer some shit but let at least one oligarch stuffer too

Not that I agree with this but on some level it could be construed as self-preservation after the hunting parties in western NC

Make one then coward

Be billionaire and outbid Netanyahu

Most countries have deep economic ties to most wealthy countries, we’re in a global economy. Even subsistence farmers in subsaharan Africa buy more of their seeds than you can imagine from Chinese companies that do the bulk of their R&D in the US and western Europe, if US policy becomes extremely isolationist that will affect them.

Also, the US is one of the biggest climate emitors, if that ramps up instead of decreasing the whole world will feel that too.

Best of luck!

There is some panicking prompted by the horrible things he’s promised to do but probably can’t, but:

-He got Roe v. Wade overturned, stripping rights from Americans while also being responsible for a 3% increase in infant mortality in the US, the first significant increase in decades

-about as many people died of COVID as voted for Jill Stein, and while Trump isn’t responsible for all their deaths he significantly worsened the problem.

So I’d say beyond shit

A pride flag pin is not political swag but also correlates very strongly to voting blue, and far-right nutjobs could run with that

Additionally, the raised and blunt hood height makes a full-body impact with no force dissipation much more likely, particularly for shorter people, where a more traditional hood shape allows a struck pedestrian to roll over the top and avert some of the force of the strike

Look, I’m with you most of the way in theory, but a lot of rural areas don’t have plumbing and drinking water from public utilities, they have their own septic and water wells. I know it’s pedantic but a lot of parts of the world are so rural that it probably doesn’t make sense to have fully public transport, like it doesn’t make sense to have centralized water. The scope needs to be great systems within towns and cities and lots of park and ride hubs around the perimeter

As long as it can’t be mistaken for the actual person it moves the stigma from them doing weird things to the artist doing weird things

I don’t buy it, tbh. I’ve been hearing some variant of “Tesla isn’t growing more and the stock is overvalued” or in the last five years “Musk is an idiot and is going to tank the stock” since I started paying attention to the markets circa 2012. Musk is a fascist piece of shit, but he does have some quality–and it may just be having more money than God and thus having a sort of wealth inertia–that keeps the stock merrily tripping its way upwards. I bought three shares several years ago on a whim, and between the upward growth and the stock splits I’ve sold my initial investment amount 3x already and could sell it three more times today and still have Tesla stock leftover

I’ve been on the pixel A train the past few years, and wait until they offer me >$300 for a trade in. I got a 3A for I think ~$300 or so in 2020, and a 6A for $150 in 2022. Almost jumped to an 8a which would have been like $200 I think but there’s no reason to really besides shiny new toy so I’m holding out for another year or two in hopes a 4a-style size reduction comes again

The other factor not yet mentioned is charging time/range. There are EVs with more range, and EVs with faster charging times, and EVs that are cheaper, but there are no EVs with a comparable long-range driving ability as Teslas for less money. The Hyundai ioniq 6 is comparable now but it’s new, untested, and doesn’t really have a used market
