Yup. Primary reason I just pulled the trigger for framework. They've proven that they'll keep upgradability going over a few generations which means I'll be buying all my updates from them.

It's really crazy. $20 for the glucose meter. $1 for each test strip. And you are expected to be testing yourself around 10 times per day. CGMs are much cheaper by comparison since it's a one time sensor installment for 15 days

Tastes have changed and I think people have been highly exposed to tastier dishes. There's also the "Denny's" problem. Classic diners tend to be pretty much the same as a Denny's in terms of quality.

> Would you rather live in North or South Korea? Today obviously the South. In 1950, probably the North. Throughout the Korean war, it's a wash. The US obliterated the north, but the south was completely insane towards their own

Conquest from who? I generally take the word "conquest" to mean some outside force coming in and taking over. That didn't happen in either Vietnam or Korea. You could argue that the USSR used conquest to take over territori

The US treated both Germany and Japan well. It did not and has not treated any other nation whose government it's meddled with well. That's my point. Edit Actually we probably could throw in South Korea into the nations the US

The US did not retreat. We fought multiple wars to maintain our power and influence. We toppled multiple regimes to maintain puppet governments. Very much the same as the USSR and China have done. Vietnam, Korea, Iran, Iraq, Cuba, Guatem

The old tractors are missing cabs, they are open to the air. Some of them have a removable roof but that's about it.

It and Kalshi are not. But we don't have regulators that want to enforce the law here. Polymarket in particular started out using crypto and off shoring with a "not legal in the US, wink wink " to get try and dodge regula

Yup. Gambling is already bad but somewhat contained within the walls of a casino or race track. When you put money on the line for events that are influencable, things get dark fast. Seemingly harmless sports betting is rife with stories a

The old machines are rock solid. They really just keep going and going. Really the only reason we got a new tractor was for the cabin with AC. That does make it a lot easier to spend an entire day working field. Otherwise you have to dea

Hey, we have the exact same model and it's still in use. Those things were built like tanks. We have an even older one from the 1940s that also still fires up and works just fine. The main thing the modern tractor buys at this point i

That was literally the last lawyer he had which ran the trial (Reynolds). And the reason his lawyers were so objectively bad was because they all had about 1 month working on the case before getting fired and replaced by a new lawyer. Meanw

I guess I find that a bit misleading. His lawyers in CT didn't call witnesses but they did cross examine the plaintiffs witnesses. In the TX case they did have AJ take the stand for his own defense, the "Perry Mason" moment

The only polls they care about is their sales numbers and their sponsor dollars. It really doesn't matter how popular or unpopular a candidate is, what matters is if their listeners are still willing to overpay on snake oil. Or if the

Idaho is as well. AZ just has some of the dumbest rules in the US WRT to solar. It's a state where every home should have solar panels.

> It's cheaper to fly than take the train. It can be, depends on a lot of factors. Obviously flying ryanair will often be the cheapest way to go, but if you do any sort of other regular airline trains will quickly start to win out.

Plenty of EVs will drive for years as well (so long as they have a good thermal system for the battery). So I'm not sure what point is being made. Saying "It costs a lot of money to replace the battery" doesn't mean muc

A £1500 car is £1500 because it's expected you'll need to replace the engine or transmission pretty soon. That can be up to a £4000 job (£2500 on the low end). And, as it turns out, a brand new 50kWh battery costs around £4000 to

Presumably a lot of people will charge at home which significantly cuts down the number of stations needed or the traffic to those stations. For example, I have 2 gas stations within a mile of my home. They stay pretty busy because people

In the UK? Nah. Electricity is expensive in the UK (~25p/kWh) But not gas car expensive. It is £1.57/L (£5.94/gallon). The EV infrastructure is also pretty dang far along, especially compared to the US. Remember that every

This is it. Sleep is such a finicky thing which requires all parts of the system to do it right. My desktop lost the ability to sleep because I guess the nvidia drivers have decided that you are wrong to want to put things to sleep.

Ubuntu 26.04 hasn't been released yet and that's likely what they'll test on. It includes kernel 7.0 which has a bunch of the panther lake support.

There have been fairly recent changes to the linux kernel to better support panther lake in terms of power performance. I'd suspect a major reason for holding back is because ubuntu 26.04 has not been released yet and it is using kern
