Yep. They could do the same shit in empty parking lots, but they stop up traffic at the Bay Bridge and other intersections where people are trying to drive through instead.

Okay, well candidates already have to qualify for the ballot on their own. Being the party nominee doesn't except you from all the paperwork and petitioning that is required in pretty any jurisdiction I know of in America. Even Preside

Ah, no, I get it now and I get the sentiment but I think this is better a case where we actually lean into the party system that has developed rather than running away from it, in no small part because it isn’t going away. I still don’t t

Just so I understand because I think I might be misunderstanding you, are you against the States executing primaries on behalf of the parties, or are you against the parties gating candidates from also being on the general ticket under thei

I agree. On the other hand Apple has done different models to some degree and since they didn’t keep e.g. the Mini models, they don’t seem to be happy with the sales of all of them. Right now they still have a model with the home button tho

Hurt? Maybe their sales. I wouldn’t buy any model of iPhone that reinstated the home button at the bottom since screen real estate is more valuable.

Probably a couple of more years provided you can keep replacing your battery. I’m on a 13 Pro Max which has the same SoC as a 13 Mini and while I might want a battery replacement within the next year, the phone itself has no performance iss

Yeah but we in the Anglosphere have this wonderful phrase for people that get too hung up on it: “get over it.” I honestly don’t care if someone uses “color” or “colour” or makes ghoti jokes at the English language’s expense.

by SllX 2y ago
I’ve seen similar suggestions but one of the best things about English is that we don’t have that nonsense. It would just be a source of annoyance and consternation adding more noise to news and politics in the Anglosphere.

Yes, domestic and international trade is a worthy human endeavor. Shipping containers are awesome. Shipping containers are also multimodal and are loaded up on trucks and rail cars at ports to be hauled away.

I agree we should have the option to choose, but I’m not going to consign any statement that it should be done by government force. That’s reckless and unnecessary. Also Epic lost their case, so “the Court” isn’t in a position to do anythin

Cases aren’t decided purely by the law. They’re also decided on the facts, and the facts are what are entered into the court record. It is also a fact observable to anyone outside any court of law that while Google sells phones, their main

Is a rendering engine still a web browser if you remove all the chrome and extra features built around the rendering engine? I would say not. And it has a rendering engine: the iOS WebKit engine. It’s not Google’s preferred rendering engine

Chrome is on there and people still use it. It’s just not using Blink. Web browser ≠ rendering engine.
