Except anyone else that has ever taken my picture can opt-in for me, and I have no way of knowing if they did or not.

Seriously, the silent cartoons were kinda boring, and once they added color it gave me a headache.

Betty Boop was peak 'toon.

The spelling is actually also important for non-english speakers.

Alpha is hard to pronounce if you aren’t familiar with English ph, so it should be an F.

Juliet should have two T’s to ensure romance language speakers pronounce the T.

That’s great and all, but not all batteries need lithium. When another battery technology gets mature enough to surpass lithium based batteries, then we’ll still be stuck on old tech cause the government is subsiding it.

This also reduces the incentive for making more lithium efficient batteries.

Subsidies can help, but they need to be more generalized so they don’t create issues moving past current tech. Heck, look at how much trouble we’re having getting past oil, that’s a perfect example.

It wouldn’t be hard to just remove the handle from a hardware store saw and replace it with this.

Might have to drill out the rivets, but that’s not too difficult usually.

Best case under $50k for sure

Which Japanese EV? I’m not aware of any good ones.

Korean ones? Best on the market. If you want the best for a reasonable price, Hyundai or Kia.

Not a bank holiday, just the exchange is closed.

Disney: Till All Are One

Star Trek: The Motion Picture is peak Star Trek.

Fight me.

They’re too small and fast for that. They burn up in the atmosphere.

Larger space debris on a different trajectory can, but not LEO communication satellites.

Tried that. Half the Internet is full of incorrect spellings, so a lot of times I do the search, I see it used that way a lot, Google doesn’t show a correction in the top, and still use the wrong spelling.

It’s not just regional spelling either, it’s just people using it incorrectly a lot.

Can’t use search to validate spelling anymore in unless it’s a really common word.

In an exception to the usual rule, routers included on the Covered List can continue to receive updates at least through March 1, 2027, although the date could potentially be extended.

I guess it depends on what this means here. It COULD mean that you won’t get software updates (security updates) next year.

Great, so zero network products can be sold, and we have to dispose of any existing ones in a couple years.

I guess the US won’t have any Internet anymore.

If you set your default browser search engine to this, it gives a much cleaner Google search result, without AI crap.

I tried other searches like DDG and the like, but Google still gives the best results… If you bypass all their junk.

You don’t need a robot dog to have a gun. If you really wanted to have a wall mounted camera with a gun on it, it would be just as easy.

They don’t need something mobile. They can stick 1000 cameras up for the cost of one of these and have less up keep.

I was playing WoW on linux long before the iphone was a twinkle in steve jobs’s eye.
