I don’t disagree from a purely American standpoint, but I’d caution against calling a war where Ukrainians are being so heavily impacted daily and Ukrainian soldiers are fighting and dying “cheap”. It’s an inexpensive investment in the security of the region and the world on the US’s part, but no war is cheap.
At this point he is in too deep. His only hope is that by continuing to deny any wrongdoing and continued efforts to delay things will work long enough that Donny can reclaim the white house and pardon him. If he recants now, he’s assuredly going to prison. That said - I suspect if he flipped and offered to testify against Trump, ‘ol Rudy might be able to secure a sweetheart deal. He’s far and away the closest person other than Trump himself who could best detail the extent of their criminal activities.
Say what you want, but the iPod click wheel was anything but awkward. It was the most approachable and efficient interface and hardware on the market by miles and miles. Navigating other similar devices without it is an awful experience of buttons and layered menus that feel clunky and slow.
I won’t deny that the Arcos and other jukeboxes were incredible devices, but they lacked accessibility and mass appeal. Their size and expense kept most people from even considering getting one. They were absolutely an enthusiast’s device and nothing more.
The iPod ushered in the boom of portable media players and paved the road for Apple’s performance in the mobile phone space by establishing them as purveyors of a superior form factor and experience when it came to those devices. Apple owes its continued success in its personal computer and tablet product lines to the iPod’s design and their decision to focus on creating a cohesive ecosystem across their products based on those design principles.
I think the point most non-youth are making is that when the choice is between being kicked in a sensitive nether region and literal fascism, the only answer is to request a second kick. I would love for the democrats to be more progressive, but there are bigger worries and frankly, whomever the Dems put forward MUST win the presidency. Your feelings literally do not matter.
I mean…. Really? Toyota kind of kicked off the whole EV shebang by introducing the first commercially successful hybrid in the Prius. And they’ve been innovating in the space ever since. Don’t mistake this for me believing they have a solid state battery right around the corner. But Japanese auto companies aren’t known for being on the forefront. They’re known for doing what everyone else does with better reliability and lower costs.
I think that Netanyahu’s rhetoric has been clear that the hostages are not the his primary concern. His focus is on eliminating Hamas entirely. I don’t disagree that releasing the hostages needs to happen if there’s to be any hope of a deescalation, but I think it’s a longer road to the conflict ceasing than Hamas doing what they should’ve done as soon as Israel retaliated.
Google’s browser dominance is so pervasive, that Microsoft had to adopt Google’s browser technology because users demanded access to add-ons and user experiences akin to Chrome.
The game feels unfinished. The seasons forcing you to reset so shortly after the game just launched only to replay content you just went through in order to get season rewards that don’t even pay for the next season’s pass feels punitive.
I haven’t played since the first season launched, and likely won’t until they release the expansions. It just doesn’t have enough to keep the game interesting in the meantime, which is a shame because mechanically it’s a much better game than D3, but suffers the same problems with being a single player / co-op PvE game that Blizzard is desperately trying to make into an MMO.
Reading between the lines a little, the littlest dictator is saying:
Don’t use healthy Floridians as Guinea pigs for these vaccines.
Only get it if you’re over 65
Covid hospitalizations in FL are skyrocketing. Desantis knows the vaccines are effective, which is why he’s not precluding elderly VOTERS from seeking it in his guidance. He doesn’t care if young people, who even in his hellscape of a state aren’t a guaranteed supporter, get sick and / or die from this virus. He’s hoping that he can buoy those who are almost entirely in his voting bloc while “proving a point” in his dumbass culture war.
Aaron Rogers is the star quarterback for the New York Jets, and formerly the Green Bay Packers. Yesterday, in the first minutes of his first game playing for New York, he was injured while tackled and tore his Achilles tendon. He will be unable to play for the remainder of the season.
Yesterday was also September 11th, which in America is recognized as the anniversary of the terror attack wherein hijackers flew planes into the World Trade Center towers in NYC as well as the Pentagon building.
The joke is that Aaron’s legs are the Twin Towers, and the plane is his impending season-ending injury.
