This is good to know. Sweden’s climate is very close to where I live in the US (a little colder I think) and I know I’ve always thought the tech wasn’t there yet for places that actually have 4 seasons.

Isn’t the President visiting Los Angeles right now?

That steer is going to come back and haunt his ass for such disrespect!

Allowed is probably a better choice. I know it’s a synonym but it’s simpler terminology. Permissible often gives the impression of permission given, even though no permission is given.

You know this user and that corvid of the night user are the same person, right?

Yesterday we were shopping at Target and in the frozen aisle they had a sign for the Favorite Day ice cream sandwiches, “Everyday low price $4.99”.

The price on the shelf label, $4.69. Whoops!

You seem to have a lot of anger. I hope you find a positive way to manage that.

While this is true in some cases I’m still waiting on concrete evidence the moon landing was fake.

If they would have spent the same amount of money

They did spend the same because they were getting the deal phones from their provider. You’ll have to bear in mind this switch was about 10 years ago.

I think what you’re saying contributes to why this Android/Apple discussion is still going on.

The level of Android device varies based on cost affecting the experience. If you buy an Apple you don’t have that issue because all their devices run relatively the same and are expensive. They don’t have a “cheap” option.

Oh the irony of the article being about Cheeto’s dictator comment and the user you’re replying to being upset Biden isn’t behaving like a dictator.

I mostly meant the oven wouldn’t work in a power outage regardless of gas or electric.

Our gas range works in a power outage but so does our fireplace. The fireplace has a standing pilot so I’m guessing that’s why.

You should be able to “properly saute” on a gas, electric or induction range. Stir frying, which I suspect you meant, is a different story.

because having access to iMessage - and now right-colored bubbles - is a big part of why Americans go Apple to begin with.

Do you have something supporting this? I was the only iPhone user in my family years ago, now everyone in my family has one. They switched because their Androids were slow, buggy and had issues. Over time they decided to try iPhones and now their perception of iPhone is that it just works better and smoother than Android.

I think some go Apple for status, but still others go with it because they’ve personally had a better experience. For older people there’s probably also an element of support from their younger family. If their kids, grandkids etc. have iPhones then they can get help from them because they’re familiar with the device.

I use an iPhone and many other Apple products because I work in IT. I get tired of troubleshooting other people’s tech issues and I can come home and my Apple stuff all just works. I don’t think it’s the best, I actually have a Windows gaming computer and an Ubuntu box as a home server but the Apple ecosystem works well together and means I’m not still wearing my IT hat at home all the time.

The teen bullying is a social problem but it’s not that different than Starter jackets when I was in elementary school, branded sports apparel (particularly Nike) when I was in middle school, and having a pager when I was in high school.

I don’t really care what color the bubbles are when I send messages, as long as the go through.
