Yup, we only had him because enough people didn’t vote against him in primary elections. He was a pos and I’m still surprised how well he handled the pandemic (before someone goes on about nursing homes I said how well, as in relative to both my expectations and how horribly red states handled it. I didn’t say he did the best job ever).

I have them in my current apartment. They aren’t activated by the fire alarm, they’re heat activated so if there’s no actual fire the sprinkler doesn’t turn on.

It’s the same as with any other coupon. They make more money from people who don’t bother to clip it.

Google is still the best in my experience, at least for stuff I search for. As long as they’re just slightly better what reason do they have to improve?

None of the products that had the price increased are locked in. Apple TV plus doesn’t even need an Apple device and has many competitors, Apple News has plenty of competitors, there are games you can buy without Apple Arcade though most do stupid in app purchases.

The next generation of CarPlay is going to be able to control the AC and integrate with the car enough to take over all the panels. I haven’t seen Siri mentioned but I’m guessing Siri would be able to control it too.

I don’t really follow android so I don’t know if they have similar in the works.

I found a better article on Reuters that says he took the mushrooms about 48 hours before. Would they even still have an effect at that point? I’ve never taken shrooms.

It should hopefully not have any effect on regulatory perceptions since legal psychiatric use should involve a medication with a certain dose that’s the lowest amount that will help instead of just eating a bunch of mushrooms but we do live in the dumbest timeline. I felt bad for this guy thinking it was a mental breakdown and he needed help but this was a series of really bad decisions.

There aren’t “5g bands”. The reason they shut down 2g/3g is to reuse the spectrum for 5g.

Uber changed things a lot. Uber lets you easily request the ride and track the driver instead of calling for a cab then calling back 45 minutes later to find out where they are and find out they never sent anyone.

The company I order my diabetes supplies from uses okta. Judging by how crappy their website is (once my order didn’t go through but I didn’t know because it sent me the order confirmation email) I expect if anyone got in their accounts they wouldn’t notice.
