yea I was using the display models. It’s not a bad phone but nothing convinces me to upgrade yet. I’m thinking next year will be the one. Especially considering XS max at the bottom of eligible phones for upgrade this year ha.
yea those third party sites aren’t reliable. The store I went to had a line out the wazoo just for pickup orders. A rep said they had no phones for people to buy.
I’m on a XS max (2018 release). Still going strong. I think this is the last year it will get major upgrades.
I checked it out at a retail store thinking it would change my mind but still not convinced to upgrade. I’m definitely thinking next year will be it. The titanium feels kind of nice in my hand tho.
Your phone will probably last 5-6 yrs if you want it to.
Isn't it possible for hydrogen sulfide to form in outhouses (at least in the toilet?) If so, very lucky this woman did not die. Very shitty way to die imo
Is it guaranteed that retail stores will have them in stock, or only select versions? I won't buy but want to know how the "titanium" finish feels in my hand. Seems like Apple will stick with this for another year, and will probably upgrade then.
The Daily Caller is a right-wing news and opinion website based in Washington, D.C.[7] It was founded by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and political pundit Neil Patel in 2010.
OP blundered. Article shitty, definitely cherry picking here.
Above is only an abstract. Looking to see if I can get the full paper with data. Something is definitely off.
This research design has some crucial limitations. First, almost every major city in the United States had a protest during the Mike Brown era, implying that I am comparing large cities to relatively less populous cities. Second, the reasons for participating in BLM protests may be related to future police behavior. For example, protests are more likely to occur in cities where more Black people have previously been killed by the police (Williamson et al., 2018). Therefore, if BLM protests are precipitated by a police shooting, police misconduct, or strained community-police relations, then the course for future police behavior may have changed regardless of the protests.
Author of paper even acknowledges the weaknesses in his methodology and seems to think those weaknesses are addressed by his “battery of robustness tests” performed on the data.
My initial thoughts: if police are not doing their job because of “BLM protests”. Then isn’t that on the police? Because police can’t kill people without impunity, that means they can’t do their job?
During the shitcoin hype, bought $100 chunks of various projects. Only 1 coin 🚀 to the moon for a nice $20K profit (it crashed 2-3 weeks after selling). If it had shed another 0, would have had a nice chunk of money.
drive on southern roads long enough. you will encounter them. Either they have 0 awareness that they are driving in 2 lanes (or swerving between lanes); or they are deliberately doing it to be assholes
🚘 🧠 people, I guess. Most people are just born/live in areas where it’s nearly impossible to get around their area that’s not by a personal vehicle.
Getting groceries? Hop in the truck/SUV, drive 5+ miles to grocery store
Want to eat out? Hop into the SUV/truck, drive 10+ miles to restaurant
Visit friends? Hop into the SUV/truck, drive 10+ mi to friends house in the exurbs (and they already live in the suburbs 💀)
Going to work? Hop into the SUV/truck, drive 20+ mi to work.
Going to the bars? Call a rideshare, pay $50+ for one ride, get drunk. Most people probably think they can still drive while under the influence and get home safe.
Only describing 1-way travel, by the way.
These people trying to imagine there’s a more scalable and safer way to transport people is a foreign concept in their mind — despite the rest of the planet figuring out how to properly move people.
Been working remote since onset of pandemic. Never going back to the office bro. Couldn't pay me enough to share the roads with the rest of the grinders.
Counter point: If I didn’t hear how badly he runs his businesses, or how bad his company’s products are. I would have easily bought one or more of his products.
I have backed out of Tesla pre-orders because of the bad publicity, many reports of bad build quality, and terrible business decisions.
If this was a puff piece, I honestly wouldn’t have bothered posting it.
