I got the 13 Mini for exactly the reason you cite at the end: if it’s the last of its size, I want the best version so I can try to hold onto it for 2-3 years. The 14 will have to be something truly special to get me to go back to being unable to hit the Back button in the upper left-hand corner of the phone. DAMN…

Cool strawman you set up to argue with. I always appreciate when people acknowledge up front that their argument is so fucking stupid that they could only win it with an imaginary person who can’t respond.

How pitful do you have to be to still be carrying a torch for your favorite brand enough to make up a bunch of easily disproven lies about a competing product? In the year of our lord twenty twenty-one? It’s just baffling.

They already confirmed Ed is in the series, but they’re not revealing the actor yet.

He’s 16 months old - babies often start to speak around 12 months or earlier.

You think this is better than flying toasters? FIGHT ME.

You clearly don’t know any design nerds. Bad design is bad design, and would get dragged no matter what. But it’s a lot easier to drag a tacky Trump design.

You said: “Being arrested for theft as a naïve teenager is far worse than breaking your wrist.”

Juvenile criminal records are typically expunged when they turn 18, especially for petty shit like theft. So personally, I’d take 100 hours of community service over “wrist pain for the rest of my life.”

If it’s legalized nationwide, prices will drop so far that most thieves would MUCH rather find electronics in their stolen packages than cannabis. So I’m not sure your assertion is correct.

Flight records are utterly trivial for the FBI to obtain - if that’s what happened, they already know.

Nothing like copy-pasting the same utterly off-topic non-answer to prove my point: you don’t seem to understand how to relate to other humans.

So you’re saying that, because you don’t actually understand the other person’s feelings and have decided to tell a made up story about them, their reasons must be ridiculous and foolish? That’s fucking stupid as hell, man. You get an F in basic empathy.

I’m not advocating for any particular policy - just looking for the facts. Are you saying because it’s from the Chamber of Commerce (which I despise, for the record) that the 2.3% number is incorrect? I’ve seen quite similar numbers elsewhere. But it certainly doesn’t tell the whole story - that I agree with.

Would love to see your source for the claim that “lawsuits are down, way down, over the last 40 years.” Do you mean suits per capita? Or are you claiming that the total number of suits is down in that time period?

You didn’t have to write a whole post outing yourself as a sexist shithead. But I’ve done you a big favor and dismissed it. Kisses!

Please, please, please don’t comment on someone’s attractiveness while they’re testifying to Congress about surviving sexual abuse. Please.

If you’re talking about nuclear, just say it. I agree that we need more nuclear, but it doesn’t help to obfuscate by vaguely lumping it in as “carbon neutral power sources.”

If you think the most powerful woman in the United States doesn’t talk major shit behind the scenes, you’re either too sexist or too naive to possibly function in the world.

Has Ethereum fully transitioned to proof-of-stake? I thought that was ongoing, and far from finished. Lots of NFTs on Ethereum.
