Oh. Really? I mean, not in baseball. Not in football. Not in basketball. Not even in President of the United States. What is this alternate reality you're in, and what is your list of "everything else"? Citations, please.

The constant dongle arguments are so funny, especially in this case. 1) You buy a USB-C to Lightning cable. Obviously. 2) Everyone bitches about Apple supposedly requiring all kinds of dongles, but of course, what caused that? Apple's

Out of spite? What about it feeling out of spite to make this change for the tens of millions of users who have one or two or four sets of AirPods, and several wireless Apple keyboards and mice and trackpads, and various other gear, all of

This isn't an important reason. There's no technical reason that Lightning could not have been updated to support higher speeds, and there's also nothing in this legislation that forces USB-C to magically use a high data rate

This doesn't "protect" any consumers from anything.

It's not a straw man, and you clearly have neither learned what a straw man is, nor really looked at this entire issue.

That's just you, of course. For hundreds of millions of others, this cuts the other way: over a decade's worth of Lightning accessories and cables and docks are out there. Which is why the EU is just being dumb, here. They think t

As xwdv points out, it's implied, inescapably, by two points: 1) it blames the EU, somehow, instead of Russia 2) if by some magical thinking one avoids blaming Russia somehow, the only other possible thing the EU could have done wrong

Well, there's the fact that 95% of the hijackers were Saudis.

Huh? The US is not a "special case" in this way.

Nope! Lots of pro singers (including me) can read this as-is. No need to transcribe to modern notation. This chant notation is still very commonly used and read today by all kinds of professionals.

Fuck "mechanism of sale". You can't see the value of preserving the full, priceless manuscript in its original form?

Any serious examination of the overall homeless problem also needs to take into account that for decades now, Republican governors in other states have been allowed to export their own social problems and homeless issues by busing the homel

Might want to double-check your inflation info, there. We're not close to an all-time high. We're not even at 50% of an all-time high. And also the concept of inflation not being the same everywhere. https://www.usinfla

Not really. Our interest in TSMC and other tech assets in Taiwan is already enormous. Any impact would really be on the margins.

Could we please have at least a shred of evidence of sabotage before we move on to the phase where we conclude there was sabotage? Sorry to be a stickler about major geopolitical crises.

You need to read for five minutes about AirTags and how they work, and how Apple addressed any stalking issues already, before casually tossing around accusations like this with vagaries like "I think these tags are opt out" attac

In other words, it's completely true. Right? Things are either true, or not. Which is it? Come on, just have the guts to admit it.

No, that's all he has said thus far. You don't have the faintest idea what he "can say". In fact, Magnus hints that he has more to say, if GM Cheatboy gives him permission to do so without threat of a lawsuit. I imagine

That's simply a lie.

Not many at all. For instance it takes a maximum of 6 bits to encode a given destination square on the board. This is probably sufficient, or very close to it.

Why? Has Magnus admitted to cheating on multiple occasions in the past? No. He has not.

Doesn't seem to be needed since the OP already got the message, but just in case...yet another +1 for AutoSleep, which I use religiously. Great design, just complex enough to give you lots of detailed info, but still simple enough to b

Why is it unfortunate? It's a worthwhile and perfectly legitimate use of SPR to even out economic impacts.

Not that shocking. About half of American society was unable to figure out why masks and social distancing were helpful during a pandemic.

Interesting that this comment, one of the only realistic ones in the entire thread, gets aggressively downvoted. I guess we're going to have to wait until several major cities are utterly destroyed, or a few mass-heat-death events occu
