They merged private messaging (which predates chat) and instant messaging/chat content sometime after chat was introduced, taking all message history into the single platform. Debatable whether you can consider it a chat platform prior to 2008 as it was more of an email-type system.

Come on, 80s toyota pickups go for crazy money around here. I saw one guy asking almost 5 figures for a low-mile example.

...Or around 2.8 million L/100km in the standard metric fuel economy units

Well, one potential problem I see is preventing the onboard potable water you’d need for it to work from freezing in winter.

We have an aussie cattle dog mix and a lab mix. The aussie seems perfectly content to skip a meal. The lab on the other hand would probably eat a bowl full of batteries if you put it in front of him.

This is the important thing, though. The average car owner is terrible at maintaining their car and an EV drivetrain will fare much better under neglect than an ICE drivetrain. There are less maintenance requirements to forget about/not do. The ones that are required - tires, suspension, brakes - are much harder to…

Agree, I prefer this setup as well. The GT’s paddles are basically useless and while it’s nice to row your own, I’ll make the sacrifice to have the handbrake.

Folks come into the plumbing department with a leaking water heater they want to patch

This is iOS’ biggest shortfall IMO. The user has very few options to troubleshoot issues and Apple is often unhelpful. In my case, I did indeed visit the genius bar and their troubleshooting tools shed no additional light on what the issue might be, and their ultimate suggestion was to nuke it and start over.

Me either, at the moment I don’t see anything that fits my needs.

People likely had similar arguments about horses a hundred years ago. Horses are still around. ICE cars are not and will not go away. There will always be ICE die-hards, and I suspect the R&D budgets dedicated to ICE options will pivot to a bigger focus on enthusiasts as the market becomes more saturated with EVs for…

Smart charging stations could even theoretically use the EV’s battery capacity as storage resource, discharging from the EV when the grid needs energy. In areas where cars remain parked longer than required to fully charge (for example, airport garages), there’s a lot of potential.

I have a 6S w/ new battery (from the recall) and the device is still throttling. Geekbench scores consistently well below expected. Took to an Apple store and they confirmed the battery is in good health with a low cycle count.

it should be pretty obvious there’s no filler cap and somethings wrong

I’m ok with it as long as we can still have books.

I meant consumers in the specific sense (e.g. consumers of fiction), not the broader sense, although it’s a valid point.

You are right, in that if we lived in a world where Twitter went out of business it would mean that most of the people in that world didn’t give a shit about Twitter and that’s a world I want to live in.

I disagree. Fiction can be a venue to air real world grievances and has the potential of opening consumers’ minds up to different viewpoints where they otherwise may not be willing.

Goddamn weather. You’d think we’d be able to hunker down and enjoy some comfort food in front of the fire in mid-December but nooo, instead I’m out here throwing the damn frisbee for my dog again.

Airport stuff:
