They’ve had something similar available for years. It’s a small plastic square about the size of a lego brick. You put it in your shoe and it makes you limp

Gotta submit their timesheets.

What, you prefer to give your data to Sony, LG, Samsung, or amazon? Like they’re not selling it to anyone with a buck as well? Never connect a TV to the internet, period. After that it doesn’t matter what you buy.

I’m in the PV area. Trust me “all the stuff going on in Mexico” was a brief temper tantrum that lasted a few hours and some cars were burned after the head guy was taken out. Despite what English media wants to tell you, Mexico is safer today than it was before the events of Sunday.

I suspect we’re gonna find out one way or the other.

Telsat Lightspeed, from the Canadian company that invented commercial domestic satellite communications in 1971.

Publicly funded fibre can be provider agnostic. Starlink can’t. Unless Musk is arguing for the nationalization of Starlink, which frankly I could get behind.

I prefer to unfold a map to read it, as opposed to doing origami just to figure out where I’m going.

Beat me to it. Except it’s more like 25 years. Now get off my lawn.

Navigation isn’t the only purpose of maps. You can display geographical, social, economic, and a whole host of other datasets on to maps.

The water may be treated with anticorrosives.

communists and anarchists have very, very little in common.

He only controlled his response to it (which wasn’t great, as that money was used to allow banks to pay bonuses and buy up foreclosed properties while people laid off for no fault of their own lost their homes).

That ‘not great’ response prevented the complete and imminent collapse of the entire global economy. I’m not sure what the phenomenon of discounting the much worse outcome is once it is avoided, but I’m pretty sure it has a name.

It’s the same phenomenon that has people say that the covid crisis was overblown and vaccination was unnecessary because it subsided on its own, ignoring the impact that billions of people getting vaccinated had.

They might not even know that it wasn’t funny tasting yoghurt.

After 30 years of marriage, my wife floated the idea of turning this on. I looked at her like she had two heads.

Why would anyone be willfully surveilled? You know its not just your partner that has access to that data when you have location services enabled.

Same.
