Sitting on public transit doesn't have to suck, though. Have you taken the Paris Métro? Or the London Tube? They're totally fine experiences.

Don't be flippant if you're out of your intellectual depth. You are factually incorrect and should educate yourself on basic high school chemistry before you embarrass yourself further.

It's just so stereotypically American to say "here's a problem society faces" and then in the same breath pretend the solution is to enrich the CEOs of a handful of tech companies peddling solutions that may or may not e

The top hit for "Naruto run" was some random anime video. It was not at all clear that it's a meme and the joke went way over my head. Just as a heads up, not everybody watches anime.

Looks like they're a new startup. Their previous product, the X1, was/is a collaboration with Lattice. Looks like this S1 will be another collab.

100% disagree. Imagine how much better off our society would be if every adult was grounded in the fundamentals of political science, ethics, economics, and philosophy. An educated electorate demands higher quality candidates. The populist
