I found that I have little need to print in color. When printing photos I use a high end service like Mpix and the local big box store when quality is not important. At home my 10 year old Brother laser printer just works. I replaced the to

Our local Walmart has given up weighing items post scan. It helps a lot. In the UK many of the small grocery stores limit shopping to what fits on the scale at one time. While highly annoying, it mostly fits the shopping habits. That would

While probably true, I would love to see the traditional car dealership business model go away. The only reason anymore to have a dealer is a place to test drive, and you do not need a huge lot full of cars for that.

One of the biggest factors is the US government pays the salaries for doctors in their residency programs. They indirectly set, and therefore limit, the number of seats available in US programs by the amount of funding they provide. There a

Apple Maps is hard to use in rural areas. It is just a pretty green page with the faintest lines. Labels are maddening to read. Google maps also needs label improvements, but generally has enough contrast to see the lines.

Likely the cable but not the phone itself. The pro cameras can create images and video that have large files. Even without the EU law, Apple needed a faster way to pull these files than todays lightning connector can provide.

My guess was someone in education. They have pay scales based on experience and education designed to keep salaries low. Getting a doctorate or PhD would move you to the far right column.

Therefore, a post on X is apparently a “post”.

But why single out Cuba? China is friends with Russia, even likely supplying them with weapons, and is also a “communist”. (Single party) state. Yet we can travel and do business there but not Cuba? It makes little sense.

I have seen a few young kids in school uniforms on the tube in London. Most, but not all, seem to have a chaperone. Two or three young kids traveling together is not unusual. We only noticed it because it is becoming unusual to see kids wal

And examples of a sugar tax working as intended exist today. The beverage choices available at a convenience store in London are drastically different than what is available at my local store here in the states. The majority of space is giv

But if that was your goal, why not simply role Twitter into the X app shell? Why destroy the brand?

This is perfect for a company like ESPN. They have enough sports writers working for them that they could instantly create the place sports talk happens.

This is more about the city than the house. To build a walkable city requires a certain density. Great public transportation requires density. Density is not possible with US style sprawl. As evidence, look at what people are willing to pay

Note that the CCS in Europe is different than the CCS in the US. We were already on our own unique standard.

If you include PHEV, Tesla is second behind BYD. Even if you look at EV only, the margin is not insurmountably large. When the big automakers (Ford, GM) truly change over they will dwarf Tesla. https://www.ev-volumes.com

I hit Apollo yesterday out of muscle memory and clicked on one of my favorite subs. The posts were simply terrible. If that was the daily experience I would not ever read that sub.

A point that has gotten lost in the discussion; The CEO is saying the "average" user would only cost $1 a month and therefore the pricing is fair. But users of apps like Apollo are not average, they are super users (and include a

One differentiator is the amount of memory available. Apple's shared pool of memory means the GPU has potentially up to 96gb of ram at its disposal, where discrete GPU's are often limited to 8, 12, 16, etc. They mentioned in the k
