Eh, one probably sees more of that on other forums, but it certainly happens. I was making a half-hearted joke about OP's AliExpress link (which I see they've deleted) more than anything, though.

Every Apple thread is required to have at least one person to say, “Wut? I can get <types spec sheet> for half that! Have fun paying the Apple tax! lol”. EDIT: (OP originally had an Ali link to cheap microfiber cloths, and then delet

I’ll pay your $9, but is it too much to ask that you list the dimensions? I’m not forking over money to find out it’s the size of an iPhone 3. sigh , I guess I’m driving to the Apple Store this afternoon.

I buy large and run it into the ground so long I mistake the ground for the computer's remains. My still-being-used 2012 MBP (which cost me about $3K) says, “hi”. And, as you point out, the new computers I want blow Dvorak’s hypothes

The “spend” and “want” number might differ, depending on one’s financial state. I know I’ve purchased plenty for less than $3K. But the one I wanted …

John Dvorak said many, many decades ago (80s/90s) that the computer you want will always cost $3000. That statement has been more/less true for some time periods than others, but with some wiggle room I’ve found it to be accurate

I’ve had iMacs for almost 20 years. My last one was indeed my last. Without target display mode (use the Mac as a monitor), I’m ditching a perfectly good monitor. I was going to buy a Mac Studio and a good monitor to replace the iMac until

Might want to edit, as this would make sense/be amusing if the exec in the last sentence was Apple. That, or I can’t read.

You’re assuming they bothered to read your comment before jumping to “why u surprised, bro? Derp, derp!” https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48223674

A lot of deficit spending accelerated with Reagan, when mortgage interest rates were 18% . Yeah, high interest rates will learn ‘em real good this time.

"Why u surprised, bro? Project 2025, duh!" meme needs to die, it's a lazy answer. You know full well what OP is talking about. Where's the $2 gasoline? Why does the debt keep going up with the party of fiscal restraint i

Sea lions don't merely "look things up", they ask you to do it for them.

Eh? The bank apps I’ve seen appear to be webviews wrapping their mobile site. Much to my chagrin, I’ll add.

So the question is, is it legal for me to receive radio emissions that your device freely emits?

Serious lifelong runner here, and it’s news to me. OTOH, it may be an influencer bro-science thing that I’ve successfully ignored. OTOOH, I take beet juice powder, which is to increase blood flow pre-run, so I would not be surprised if folk

A more sane world, you say? How about the Nixon administration, where Nixon proposes a universal healthcare system to Congress? https://kffhealthnews.org/news/nixon-proposal/

Not quite the same thing despite sounding very similar: https://www.mdanderson.org/cancerwise/what-to-know-about-foo... (And good gracious, HN, how about answering the person’s question instead of downvoting it?)

It’s the hardcore version of beet juice powder, which athletes often take to…increase blood flow. As a user, I can’t say whether it helps with Viagra’s advertised purpose.

I hate getting pedantic on a side note, but the T-1000s (improved model over the Arnie ones) were detectable by dogs, and they weren’t made of anything human. There’s a scene in T2 where the T-1000 is on the phone with a young John Connor,

Good for you for avoiding exercise though. I realize that you really, really want to think that we are talking about electric motorcycles, but you obviously have no idea how e-bikes work, so I see little benefit in discussing it further

Had the road been completed, Bryson City could have also become another Gatlinburg (as the road would be an entrance to the National Park), with the tourist revenue that goes with that. When I lived in NC 25 years ago, locals were obviously

Found the person who lives in Kansas. Sometimes I just want to ride to work without having to deal with that 2km hill on the way. And my bike is still human-powered, with electric assist. Do you not know how e-bikes work, perhaps? Signed, f

I got one of those on Etsy not long ago: “only one left!” Fuck off with your FOMO, Etsy, there’s plenty left. Five minutes later, “add to cart”. Etsy: “sold out; we weren’t lying!” So in this particular case it didn’t work. But it will next

That is a massive misrepresentation, and arguably intentionally deceptive to support a narrative. One can read the blueprint for themselves and come to your own conclusions. https://heatpumppartnership.org/blueprint
