There was even an era before dumb phones :) Some people burried their heads in newspaper or books, some looked and watched the world go by. I still do it, phone is really last resort since I strongly believe its slowly making me more addict

Had a recent talk with a colleague who owns one of earlier model S on exactly this. He often goes skiing up to Verbier in the Swiss alps, so similar situation and cold. He definitely burns through the battery much quicker in mountains, and

In Geneva, Switzerland they simply dont give replacement cars as per colleague's recent visit. And of course they are in the middle of nowhere, impractical for ie going to work adterwards. Thats a very shitty service, even cheapest non

Do you drive a car and did such a situation happen to you, in situations I describe? It did happen to me in dense traffic, there are few ways to mitigate it but stopping in multilane road for anything but a serious medical condition or car

No, thank you we are not idiots. Out fighters are just fine, as long as we don't have to fight US. BTW you don't seem to understand military well - F22 is much better plane than F35, but abysmally complex to do and expensive, that

That's what populists do, everywhere including Europe - they take real issue and low-income & low-education folks (usually big overlap), tell then how they were wronged, play on their emotions, dumb down things to us-vs-them yada

But with lower rates, and with abysmal rampup period (or even afterwards). Don't blame managers, they just follow money, why else would they work those crappy jobs. Blame idiots who think short term bonuses should be massive instead of

On highway, in dense traffic? Sure you can put the car in emergency lane, but that's a risky place to be increasing risk of accident on its own, plus traffic police comes immediately if they see you / are called for such car. Anot

World can be a very futuristic experience, or it can be (almost) as it would be say 2005 or even earlier. My parents and most of their generation experience it in a very similar way. I would say even despite missing out few cool things over

You can't make more visible public executions than throwing people out of windows in centers of cities. Modern public guillotine, gets a lot of press too. Message is clear to all, the goal is to be shocking and not subtle.

Lack of critical thinking I'd say, inward and outward. Gaping hole in nation's education system, just listen to what higher level says. I have one german colleague with whom we dicuss sometimes deeper topics. He confirmed what I t

Well most of the west still does, its just that US is right now much bigger evil and bully to rest of the world than China is or ever was. Expect some realignment in next 4 years, maybe oil won't be yet traded in CNY but who knows.
