That screen is seriously distracting and the worst thing is you have to look at it even to check your speed. There is absolutely 0 information displayed behind the steering wheel. I always wonder how did this get approved.

Nexus hardware (LG made) was crap. Both mine and my wife's phones bootlooped at 12-14 months of purchase. Never had such issues with any of the other smartphones we have owned.

The aid is not sent to the government but some chosen NGOs. India has said aid is not needed: https://icai.independent.gov.uk/html-version/uk-aid-to-india... .

I had a similar brush with ambiguity sometime back when there was an article about a bill being tabled. The verb table has two opposite meanings per merriam webster: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/table#:~:t

I did grow up in a religious vegetarian family but my rationale for remaining vegetarian is simple. We derive all our energy from the sun. The more hops between myself and the source, the less efficient the energy transfer. For now plants t

The article certainly lacks interesting details. Why did it take 9 months to edit the image? What nuances were involved? Also would it have been better to capture the full moon?

I think that happens when other language nouns are added to English. Case in point "chai" tea and "naan" bread. Chai means tea and naan means bread but here we are...

I recently got an email from amazon saying they are charging my card again for items which I have already returned to them (via the whole foods store). I even have confirmation email of the said returns. Now the email claims they haven'

I remember some liquor site in the US (totalwine IIRC) used to ask are you born after <date> to ascertain age and it worked pretty well.

But if that same restaurant started having different wait times for something as arbitrary as country of birth, we would have a problem.

We are talking about 14% of the total annual green card quota, 140,000/1,000,000.Everybody is not coming from same place and it will be a pure FCFS system if these archaic quotas are gone.

Diversity can be preserved for 86% of the green card quota. Why does need to be there for the other 14%? Already this is forcing companies to make investments in offshore centers as it is difficult to hire here. There is enough proof this i

Attributing all the problems to those bodyshops is a bit disingenuous IMO. Yes they are part of the problem. Even Chinese nationals face 5+ years backlog for their green cards. Limiting immigration from populous countries based on arbitrary

Why though? If Google is hiring an engineer, it doesn't make a distinction and does so purely on skill. Why should it matter if said engineer is from Argentina (arbitrary example) instead of India? The US issues roughly 1 million green

Doesn't that vary with the skin color (aka melanin content in the skin)? I presume as a brown person I need more exposure for an equivalent dose compared to a Caucasian person.

>With these options for updates available, there’s only one conclusion to draw: Google just doesn’t want to keep updating the Pixel 3. That three-year promise has been satisfied, and it's not making more money from Pixel 3 customers

We're about to have our second kid in spring so that is the biggest thing to look forward to. In prep for that, planning to switch out our sedan for a minivan (due to 2 carseats). Apart from that, try to keep learning. Pickup something

Honestly I don't think it is. However a lot of opponents to removing country caps are always concerned with this. Hence I was saying if anything country caps may be justified for family based GCs. There is no viable argument for them
