It’d probably be better to put a lot of the R&D money into improving and reinforcing public transport systems. Taking cars off the road and separating cars from pedestrians makes a bigger difference than automating driving.

This is to test the waters for desktop ads I’m sure of it.

Very cool, but can it run flight simulator at 60fps?

If you haven’t already you have to try Thrills! It advertises itself as “it still tastes like soap”. Unique and old brand of chewing gum that I think everyone should try once. Shouldn’t be too hard to find and it is certainly available in Canada.

My birthday I keep to myself and whoever remembers remembers haha.

I used to forget others birthdays but the people who matter most to me I’ve made the effort to remember as best I can. Last year I started putting birthdays into my calendar as a recurring event so I don’t miss them. I just set a reminder a week or two prior if I want time to get a gift!

Norm MacDonald has some great bits

Did threads take off recently or what’s the story? I thought it was unsuccessful as xitter was already the preferred platform

I feel like adequate energy storage would at least alleviate some of the worry on days when there is less production. There has to be days when there is too much energy produced and rather than wasting it, find some way to store it whether it’s batteries or something else.

Real small relative to the other comments but if a loose cart is nearby in the grocery parking lot, I’ll go out of my way to return it. I know I hate seeing an “empty space” and there being a cart in the way and in that case it’ll likely never get moved.

I’ve started carrying a fountain pen rather than a typical ballpoint. I think the writing experience is a bit more pleasant.

Love that Forever story is there as both original and extended version! Sticking to the strong lyricism rap themes Food and Liquor from Lupe Fiasco is great.

I think Eminem’s latest project The Death of Slim Shady was a lot of fun and showed his talent as an artist but it’s not for everyone thematically.

I try to train 3 days a week. Simple compound body weight movements are my personal focus. So pullups, dips, squats. Then accessories to compliment muscle groups. Bicep curls, tricep push downs and/or lateral raises, and Romanian deadlifts respectively. Lastly core is important for your overall health and stability so sneak that into your workouts.

I priorotize walking to most places if I am able, keeps staying active easier than dedicating time to running. However, sprints are a really great athletic movement so don’t be afraid to find a field and do sprints or something explosive like it.

As for diet, there’s no real counting anything for me. I typically just prioritise getting proteins on my plate then veggies and complex carbs. Try and cook your food yourself rather than eating out and you’re 90% of the way to your goals! The rest is consistency and effort.

As for local plants I’m not sure if there’s anything special but growing your own food does seem to taste better in my opinion!

Unless they regularly carry very large coconuts, I’m not sure it will be strong enough

Sounds like it’s just another tool in a coding arsenal! As long as you take care to verify things like you did, I can’t see why it’d be a bad idea. It’s when you blindly trust that things go wrong.

Thank you very much, I appreciate the insight.

Thanks that is very reassuring.

There are a few phones that still do a headphone jack and expandable storage but they definitely aren’t the big flagship brands if that’s what you are looking for.

Heck, Moondrop a predominantly audio gear manufacturer, just launched a phone specifically for audiophiles and it has a 3.5mm/4.4mm headphone jack combo. I don’t think its quite as modern in the other aspects but hey, it has the unicorn features we don’t see nearly as often!

I guess even if you are a stomach sleeper your feet are still towards the foot. Maybe this is best.

I would say the foot is the Stern and the head the bow I guess. Just to stay with a sort of head being the front of something and foot being the tail end.

Probably closer to renting the OS lol
