The 3rd world country with a Gucci belt*

Unfortunately, about 30% of Americans

They are doing a project in Vegas to do a loop, but it only holds Tesla’s… So maybe close?

Eastern Oregon is also going through a bunch of fires so itll be interesting to see if some pull out of Oregon too.

I don’t, in musk’s mind it’s probably buying a favor so Tesla is excluded from subsidies removal. They’d find another way to get Musk more federal funds by saying their only a tech company and working on AI or some shit like that.

Agree. None of these CEOs have any groundbreaking ideas either. It’s all the same strategies for short term profits rather than longer sustainable growth.

I feel like Elon still uses a magic 8 ball to make decisions.

It’s like how product placement in movies started off super small. Now sometimes it just fucking smacks you in the face where you think is this movie legitimately just an ad?

Fried chicken, it was absolutely delicious but the prep work, frying and dish clean up was more than I’d like.

I just switched last year and it worked great. I had like 4 other family members file as well through them without issue.

Oh didn’t know about that! I’ll check it out.

Other things that irritated me when I recently switched from android to iOS:

The keyboard doesn’t have the numbers along the top. Didn’t realize how much I used digits when typing stuff out so switching back and forth is annoying.

When typing long text messages I find it impossible to just click higher or scroll up to reread what I typed

Speaking of messaging the fact I can only do emoji reactions with such a limited range is really amazing especially in 2023-2024

The calculator doesn’t show you what you typed in….maybe I’m the idiot but I can’t figure it out

No ability to do Picture in Picture especially with FaceTime, so everytime I leave the app to look at another window it always blacks the video out

Printing things from my phone is so difficult now

Apple Pay for some reason only works when I double click the side button before placing the phone near the reader rather than scan and then double click

Speaking of wallet I can’t transfer in a local public transit commuter card from android….i need a physical card or number to scan. There is no option to manually enter that I can see

The action button why can I only do 1 action and not multiple with a click and then a hold option?

Speaking of action button I have mine set to silent bc if I keep clicking the volume down button it doesn’t automatically put the ringer on vibrate and then silent

Which leads me to why in gods name can I not turn off send noises from any app? I don’t need to hear the swoosh sound every time.

The Notification Center in general bothers me

Also I really miss the back button and menu buttons on the bottom.

I’m sure there’s more I forgot about but those are little things that have bugged me.

Man a 2.5% revenue share definitely could add up especially for mobile you’d be giving close to 20% in revenue to either an app store or game engine.

Agreed. They’d also have to be pretty sure they’d make up the deficit from potential sanctions/lost exports. [https://trendeconomy.com/data/h2?commodity=TOTAL&reporter=China&trade_flow=Export,Import&partner=World&indicator=TV,YoY&time_period=2021,2022](20% of their GDP is exports ) with the US, Japan, and Korea making up close to 25% of that.

It’s probably why they are watching Russia so closely and investing in Africa heavily.

I like the brand LMNT. They are a little more expensive compared to others but the flavor variation is a good switch up if you don’t want to make your own (I like watermelon salt personally).

They also have an article on how to make your own at home

Is wells Fargo the worst run of the big banks? The seem to constantly have the worst shit (that’s reported on).

100 billion puts you in the top 15 richest on the planet. You’d actually rank #11 ahead of Sergey Brin and Bloomberg.

• Pikmin 3 is out not sure if you already played that.
• Luigi’s mansion 3 was fun for me on a flight.
• I’m a big fan of civilization just bc it’s turn based and I don’t constantly have to pay attention to it.
• Crash Bandicoot could be good since it’s a game pack

I’ve had my laser brother 7860dw (also discontinued) and you are right thing just works. I’ve never replaced the drum and I’ve only had one clip for the paper tray break in the 12 years I’ve owned it.

Twitter went from like 7000 employees down to 1000. So skeleton crew for sure. There’s also speculation that they didn’t migrate all the data off Google cloud services so they lost a bunch of data as the contract ended June 30th.

As for the X thing no idea his obsession I’d probably guess he thinks he’s like the modern day iron man or professor Xavier for the gifted with x men.

I’ll give credit where credit is due he’s really good at being able to raise capital but in terms of actual business execution he falls flat to me.
