I generally look at what the market is doing. I care a lot more about software availability and battery than performance these days, most manufacturers have little to offer me.
Generally, the only things of interest to me are the pixels (shootout Graphene), the fairphone, and projects like the Librem 5. IMO if you want an android and care about privacy or security, the choice is kind of obvious these days.
I’d say closer to 400. Quarter pounders have only ever been common as smashburgers or at shitty burger restaurants.
That would mean you need to enforce the law for whoever built the model. If the original creator has 100TB of cheese pizza, then they should be the one who gets arrested.
Otherwise you’re busting random customers at a pizza shop for possession of the meth the cook smoked before his shift.
Tbf, a guy who’s that unreliable would have a ton of difficulty holding any job at all due to unexcused absence. He’d probably be working below minimum wage or getting fired every other week.
Although things have obviously changed a lot. I’m reading mercy Thompson right now, where a character complains about barely being able to afford living alone after giving away 60% of their check. Iirc they’re supposedly a waitress.
The democrats are the liberal party. They support abortion, religious freedom, police reform, civil rights (sometimes), drug decriminalization, etc.
That being said, they are trying to encapsulate and entire half of the political spectrum. There’s going to be gaps, disagreements between individual party members, and places where one policy or value has to override another.
Its a retirement vehicle in that it prevents future rent raises from threatening your retirement, not in that you can/should live off of your home’s equity. Nobody wants to go back to work at 85 because their rent doubled.
It likely isn’t any different in imported models, flame retardant materials are a very basic and very important safety feature.
Also, it is surprisingly hard to import a car in the US. I’d kill for decent hot hatch that wasn’t $40k.
There isn’t much of an alternative. All major manufacturers have been doing this for a while, we are approaching the point where you’ll need to buy and maintain a classic car to avoid this type of data collection. Unfortunately, most people simply do not have the time, money, and expertise to do that. Nor should they have to.
Mazda is just as involved in this bullshit. All car manufacturers are.
Mozilla tried to rate them a few years ago and basically has to give them all the same grade because basically every can manufacturer’s privacy policy is so cartoonishly horrible.
They’re not actually worried about sharing power, they don’t want to be subject to additional federal regulation.
In this case, the issue is business interest in politics, not our weird toxic individualism.
We were supposed to build one here, but AT&T basically owns our city government lol.
They announced the project wouldn’t be moving forward because they wouldn’t/couldn’t use imminent domain to lay fiber in peoples yards. They’ve used it to build 3 stadiums in the past 20 years, and knock down entire neighborhoods in the process. Literally bulldozed multiple square miles of city.
I fucking hate it here. We gave the stadium owners a bunch of money this week to renovate their stadium for some reason.
You already buy “up to” a certain speed. When the network is congested, you just deal with it.
Trying to make people budget their internet usage is stupid and pointless.
See, I know what you’re trying to say, but that would unironically be an improvement for most of us…
I’m referring to two bits of copper wire in a sleeve of (probably rubber) insulation, commonly used for landlines back in the day. If you don’t call it that, maybe it’s a regional thing.
Oh, and there’s 8 billion people on this planet. They all live in the “real world”. Your experiences are not somehow more valid because you happen to live on one particular patch of dirt.
No reason they should exist in any day and age.
Companies do not pay per packet. Paying more for more bandwidth or lower latency kind of makes sense because theoretically they may be prioritizing your traffic when the network is under too much load. But sending 16 petabytes costs exactly the same as 1kb in a month, assuming your connection is fast enough to handle 16 petabytes in a month.

Respectfully, I’d consider large parts of Canada to be undeveloped. I’m not trying to throw shade or anything, there’s just a lot of Canada to develop.
The same is true to a lesser degree in the US and most other very large nations.
I had exactly two English teachers who were good, which was all I needed.
One when I was young, taught me how to communicate and understand complex ideas properly.
Another my first year of college, who taught me that deeper meanings and subtleties in fiction wasn’t entirely bullshit. Surprisingly, she did this by making us read Frankenstein and watch Blade Runner.
Everything in the middle though…woof. Learning to write academic papers has no value unless you’re an academic, and the other 10 literature courses I took all just made me hate reading, even the year where we just read my 4 favorite books.
Marginally maybe? Installing an add-on in torrentio doesn’t take more than a second, but it isn’t a process most people are already familiar with, like entering credit card details to open an account.
I wouldn’t say “excited”, as I don’t know of it having any specific advantages over what’s already on the market.
I’m quite fond of my 7 and 8 though. Battery life and cell reception could be better, but I’ve never found either to be less than satisfactory.
