Still by that standard, there are larger sail ships today. Just not cargo ships, but cruise ships. It’s still a manipulative statement.

1. Yes, you can share location, the widgets aren’t as fancy as Google integration with everything.

2. Not feasible without the constant data harvesting in the background, which it doesn’t do. It doesn’t log your every move as Google does. Privacy vs surveillance, will always be at odds.

3. Depending on the area. In my country public transportation is way better on OSM than on Gmaps. Oftentimes Gmaps won’t even have large structures like train stations or bus terminals. It depends on users and contributors.

It’s also not the largest. During the age of sail one of the largest shipping boat was almost 8 times larger than this one. They are just playing the technicality of being wind powered and not a sail ship to con startup investors out of their money. But there have been even larger sail cruise ships. It’s just the game tech bros play, reinventing the wheel but coming up with a catchy marketing name that looks like disrupting the status quo to bait capital injection.

It’s a crash log, not an error log. It’s probably dumping the entire memory stack to text instead of a bin dump every time it crashed. I would also suspect the crash handler is appending to the log instead of deleting old crashes and just keeping the latest. At several dozen gigas of RAM it would just take a couple of game crashes to fill up the 300GB.

The obvious answer is that Facebook should not be used by anyone, ever. The model is cancer, whatever FB does of value for the user can be accomplished without a social media platform.

The insult is the implication. “I wouldn’t tell a backwoods country to be like us, [but we should]. So instead I will tell you that you are not like US [because I actually think that you are backwoods], and you should be like us to [so you aren’t like those backwoods countries anymore].”

The gall of saying, that entirely different culture that’s been around for longer than our country, they should have our same values, right after calling them backwoods countries. The extreme narcissist egoism is palpable and disgusting.

Perhaps, but the soft shadows still don’t match the text. It’s uncanny. An amateur designer would’ve gotten a better result on Photoshop in less time.

Probably logistics. They had hacked the smartphones, so Hezbollah decided that they would turn to older tech that was harder to hack or intercept. But of course this presented a great opportunity, as there aren’t that many maker of pagers left in the world. So the Mossad probably interdicted the delivery process to tamper with them and insert explosives.

Lithium batteries don’t explode, they fizz really quickly into a flame. The incidents reported included an explosion, and in several occasions they injured not just the user but several people around them. EDIT: apparently they didn’t even have Lithium batteries, just use regular alkalines. So there was no way to make them explode without inserting an explosive and rewiring the device. Alkalines also just tend to leak when they overheat, not explode. To make them explode you have to feed them with high current, which the pager doesn’t have space or circuitry inside to induce that, and it is still very rare even when you do overcharge them.

It’s super obvious, I caught it immediately just scrolling the thread, I don’t even do graphic design or anything. You can just tell if you have ever seen a single episode of Jeopardy in your life.

It’s extremely obvious because the lettering shadows have shadows themselves and they don’t match. It’s simultaneously trying to be the flat image and the CRT soft afterglow of the shadows at the same time, when in real life you’d only have one or the other. It’s also giving a headache.

Real state is not just about the square area, or even the construction on top, but mostly about location. The cost is not about how big or luxurious of a mansion it is, but because it means living surrounded by other millionaires. If you scout the area, you notice it is one of the biggest houses around that place and the price, while outrageous even by the area standards, is not that far up next one, and about half of the most expensive one.

When dogs do that relocation of food is because they don’t feel safe eating at the bowl. Usually because it is in a corner or the shape of the bowl blocks their peripheral view. They are skittish of where they eat, since it is instinctively a vulnerable act. Same reason they might get zoomies after pooping, you want to be as far away as possible as the smell gives away your position, predator stuff. Relocate the bowl to a location with a wider view of the room, not giving their back to open spaces. And choose a wide but shallow bowl that lets them see what is in their surroundings as they eat.

People should learn how to assess whether they can afford a debt or not. The math is not intuitive and requires prepwork that most aren’t willing to do.

I also noticed that they started showing ads upon opening YouTube on Android TV.

Google sucks so bad.

It’s already pretty much a rich people hobby. There are many facilities and heavy assistance from locals. It’s dangerous still. But it’s not even among the top 5 most deadly, dangerous or difficult climbs. In really good weather you can pay for a helicopter ride to get you even further up from base camp thus making your climb shorter.

The best pieces of children’s cinema are always those with good writing that can simultaneously entertain and respect both the children and the adults in the teather. Everything else is rightfully forgotten as dumb slop. Pandering to little children humor is always a sure way for IPs to die in obscurity.

I love these dorks because they always look like CGI, but no. That’s just the way they look and photographs are accurate.

Compromise can only exist when there’s at least one coincidence of interest. A greater good or similar common value that motivates the parties to negotiate over the aisle on individual issues. The principles, values, goals and even worldview of the two party system in the US is radically polarized. Which makes it almost impossible to negotiate a compromise. Right now, the few policy issues they agree on are nonessential points (supporting Israel, e.g.) that don’t weight the balance and exist out of pure accident. It exist on either side for completely different reasons. When one side argues that some people deserves to die, it is hard to negotiate when the protection of life and dignity is above all for the other side. But compounded by the fact that they don’t even agree what life, person hood and dignity even mean.

Electric assisted can help you keep your knees for longer without depriving you of the exercise. Specially if you’re using it for transportation and not just sport.
