Assuming you're talking about iMessage, comparing that to E-mail (GMail) is literally apples and oranges.


They're comparing it to SMS and voice calling on Android (and apples and oranges are very similar)


He achieved "FI" early on then.


That's awesome! I have very fond memories of playing 1 vs 100 on Xbox Live and was sad when they canned it.

Same. Multiple personalities?


Thanks, but I couldn't watch more than 30 seconds of that video. The cuts every 3 seconds or when the speaker took a slight pause is maddening.


This is how it works in a free market economy. The incumbent (oil and gas) is directly state sponsored in the US.

> the US government alone spends $20 billion every year on direct fossil fuel subsidies. Of that figure, around $16 billion goes towards oil and gas, while the remaining $4 billion benefits the coal industry.

The solution for that is not to sue Big Oil. It's to make it clear to our elected representatives that we want these subsidies to end, and vote them out of office if they don't do it.


How do you support your argument that the current administration is being effective in killing off oil? We are still a net exporter of oil [0] and crude oil production is about where it was at in late 2018. It took a dive during COVID-19 and has been recovering since.

You're joking right? He has been killing off pipelines, suspending leases, increasing regulations.

My question still stands. We're near ATH of oil production and are a net exporter. Sure, the Boogeyman wants to kill oil, but has he been able to do that with great success in 1.5 years as president?


Same. The Logitech Cordless Optical TrackMan is my favorite device. I wish they still made them (or something like it.)


I long for a modern Corless Optical Trackman. Last I checked the few you could find on ebay went for hundreds.


I think that’s one of the points of the Ploopy mice/trackballs. They are all open source, so it’s possible to reposition components (if you’re into 3D printing, etc…).

Maybe it won’t be long before someone does come up with a similar design.


We evaluated a bunch of solutions and came to that conclusion as well. Everything we do is in code (Terraform) and will gladly pay for something that has friendly APIs and an already existing Terraform module. Conversely, we'll not engage with or throw away anything that doesn't have friendly APIs.


Google likes to push you into a textual/parsed format of the menu, which is often incomplete and difficult to navigate. Just show me the pictures of the menu, please.


And make it obvious when the menu is from. Too often menus are years old. And with prices going up overnight everywhere pricing has gotten really hard to figure out.
