I have a US passport and did multiple trips to the schengen area over the past year. The airport staff always makes me go to the passport scanning machines despite me telling them that it will reject me for being too complicated. They won't let me go directly to the manual line so I have to wait in the machine line, get rejected, and then wait in the manual line.

If you're in a car centric place it's usually faster to go inside too.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

"basic traffic noise from highways won’t get perceptibly quieter due to electric cars. Urban road traffic noise below 40 kph likely will, as engine noise starts to dominate at lower speeds. And we can all look forward to fewer and fewer noisy motorcycles and trucks, and no economy cars with broken mufflers."

I wouldn't be surprised if some EVs get phony gears and broom broom noises

Lexus made one already

As a non European, prepaid sims in Europe are complicated. Some companies won't sell sims to foreigners, some have little to no roaming. Some have activation fees that double the price.

Some examples: in Germany you need to do a video call to activate your sim, in Italy most providers require you to have an Italian tax number to buy a sim. In Romanian most of the plans have a paltry 1 GB of roaming.

Also most of the SIMs geared toward tourists don't allow roaming.

Unfortunately this won't work for Pixel devices because google disabled video out.

Istanbul requires a Turkish phone number or for you to scan your passport at a console.

I don't know, I just figured someone would have. I guess we're just a flyover instance.

How long until the flickr style group spam starts?

Clone a Willie will be a much different product.

"This analysis confirms that drivers did, overall, get closer when the rider wore a helmet."

Nah, we renamed Web 3.0 to Web 3.2 Gen 1 to be less confusing, you're thinking of Web 3.2 Gen 2.

You mean a $5000 wrench. The government can't appropriate a wrench for just $5.

I have to do a captcha on basically every cloudflare site with my VPN on.

But how are you supposed to learn kernel patching if everything works out of the box?

Thanks. I switched from Pop OS to fedora today and was feeling left out

It makes the stock pixel seem so bloated with all the non-removable google apps. Like why can't I remove the pixel buds app?

I never had any issues with the motherboard on my 5A, but I gave up on it after destroying the screen twice. I have a 6 now but it's annoyingly large, top heavy, and I have to keep it on LTE only mode to have decent battery life.

A cool use for that would be a warning screen in your garage if you pull in with low tire pressure.
