There’s a difference between “has connected features” and “REQUIRES connected features” though. Again, you’re making a false equivalency.

Yes, pretty much every new vehicle has some sort of connectivity, and almost all have some sort of paid subscription to use those connected features in the app.

That’s entirely different than requiring you to have a subscription and use the app. Most new cars do NOT do that. They still have all the basic functionality without using the connected features, and the features are literally extra features so you can do things outside of the range of the fob, or add some extra things that the fob can’t do.

Buy any of the other vehicles out there that don’t pull that bullshit?

Lol it wasn’t a choice between that car and walking. That’s a massive false equivalency.

That would be an absolute nightmare to administer lol. Though I guess that tracks.

1, 01, 001, 0001, and 00001 would all be different users

Unless by “digit” they mean any alphanumeric.

You’ve got a lot of options if you go to a 5 characters with letters.

Which they’d kind of have to with 700k users if it’s 5 characters.

If it’s case insensitive, you’ve got 60,000,000+ combinations, and if case sensitive then 916,000,000+ combinations.

Your mix and your average age.

Same as if you close a credit card.

Paying off a credit card will massively increase your score. From having a lower overall balance, having more available credit, and a lower credit utilization.

We already do with tidal generators.

And theres ways to follow currents for extra help, but you’re limited to that and where the current moves.

Anything else and you’d have to violate the laws of physics.

It’s like putting a wind turbine on an electric car. The increased drag would cost more electricity than the turbine could produce.

It’s kind of funny to see all these headlines not long after everyone was going on about Apple not doing enough with AI and going to slow with their rollout.

They have just done it a lot smarter than the others. Not rushing out to throw piles of money at something. Same thing they did during the pandemic, when other companies were massively overhiring trying to ride the wave. Apple didn’t and subsequently hasn’t needed to hold massive layoffs.

Focused on private groups of friends and family

So, a group chat.

the future of social networking lies in small, private communities powered by messaging, photo sharing

So it literally is just a fancy group chat. Or I guess a singular feed of multiple group chats…

Man, I wish bear was safe medium like this. Unfortunately, that’s pretty much a guaranteed case of trichinosis.

An in fact, that itself is a meme. Memes aren’t just pictures on the internet.

The term itself comes from the 70s.

It’s definitely a thing, but sounds more like a-boat to me than a-boot. Very heavy around Toronto and Ottawa.

It’s a documented dialect feature called Canadian Raising. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_raising

Ehhhhhhhh.

We have two Kias. An EV6 and a Telluride, so their EV and gas lines.

They’re nice looking cars, but the “Kia quality” definitely creeps in. If we didn’t get them on dirt cheap leases I would probably be pissed lol.

Because they basically are. There’s only so many ways to design a double walled vacuum insulated cup lol.

If I’ve learned anything over the last 8-9 years, it’s that all these bottles are the same damn thing lol. One brand just happens to capitalize on a design trend first and that’s what lands.

That chart is a bit outdated. That might be the millennial moms that pick up the trend late.

All the white Gen Z girls at work have HydroJug now. Owala was a a while back. Stanley was more covid era.

My wife has a fuckin entire cabinet dedicated to her damn cups.

I could see Gordon being more unmedicated ADHD because of his stance on drugs.

He quite famously is very anti-drug due to his brother being a heroin addict, his father dying from alcohol abuse, and another very close friend dying of an overdose.

That was part of the inspiration for this show. The rampant cocaine usage in the kitchen industry, and his personal experiences with addicts.

This was like a week after his death. Ol boy wasn’t even cold yet. She went on a whole “grief tour” throwing massive events.

No I got that. I’m saying that by the time the prod deploy comes around, there’s no proofreading left to do anyway.

Not proofreading texts should have zero bearing on being able to write and deploy software because it should be proofread several times before the actual prod deployment. Hell it very likely isn’t even the same person doing the deployment that wrote the code.
