I think it's like Apple cables: for some they're frayed in a month, others still have perfectly serviceable 30-pin cables that they've used daily. Personally, I wear Unbound merino t-shirts and underwear, and they last for ye

Once you left Nevada, I doubt you saw the same thing. If I want to see a slot machine in Washington, I have to go to a casino on a native reservation.

We never got any declines, but I always wondered how that reconciliation process actually worked out. IIRC, the merchant gets paid if hitting a credit limit or similar decline reason. The card holder then gets hit with a financial penalty

“Never heard of these”, meanwhile I was remembering a credit card that I used so often that I wore the coloring off the raised numbers. And I guess if one has never seen these, I need to explain. In order to leave an impression on the carbo

In the late-80s there were also well-publicized predictions that Jesus would return to earth. There's always some crackpot who gets it wrong that one can point to years later as a counter-example ("In the 70s, Time magazine predic

I do on occasion, because the navigation gets thrown onto the HUD of our Ioniq 5. That said, our new camper van (ProMaster chassis) apparently interfaces with CarPlay, and so the navigation gets put on the dashboard (no HUD) without using t

I suspect you missed this part of the argument, then: In the next few decades, it’s entirely possible that AI with an IQ of 300 will arrive. Really, that might actually happen. If you want to argue against that point, feel free. But to

Desktop computer? I'm not seeing the disconnect: why do you think a phone is required? OTPs? There are solutions for that.

That’s because no one prints headlines that read “Gold has been in a trading pattern for the past six months, 15% below its ATH”, or at least that headline didn’t stick in your mind like “ATH!!!” does. As a sibling comments outlines, gold i

Did you read what FCC published at all? Most of it, yeah. Any teardown org would be absolutely salivating at this info. I'll disagree and say that any teardown org would be able to figure this out on their own in an afternoon, and

People were going online in the ‘90s (and using obnoxiously large phones) Umm, the guy in that picture isn’t “going online”, he’s making drunken purchases at 2:00 a. m. via QVC’s 800 phone number. You see a keyboard attached to that “moni

You can get a more powerful PC on Amazon for less. I think you might be missing the point. If you’re looking for the cheapest, most cost-effective computer, and you’re willing to shop for it on Amazon, then I know you’re missing the poi
