Apple actually claims to have developed the iPad before the iPhone, but the tech was moving fast enough to miniaturize it and release the phone first, I think mostly because everyone had been begging for an iPod-phone for years at that point.

They’d also been improving track pad and OS for years before the iPhone released. Bit to mention the Newton, which failed pretty fast.

Puts a new dangerous twist on hot MILF action in your area.

Right before they die, and also when they are terrible to eat unless you’re a bear.

There’s jobs that will put you through apprenticeships as part of the first 2 years of employment. You do the course work at night (which should be pretty easy if you’ve already trained as a software engineer).

$5 foot longs are now $10 and have never been a foot long.

That’s how their entire canceled culture works.

The book bans are just lists of books that none of them have read too.

I played Warcraft 2 with a 14.4 modem dialing directly to my friend’s modem across town in 1996.

It was novel and kinda fun to tell my mom what we were doing, but it was so slow that we never bothered again. The taste led to wanting to go nuts when broadband hit, whcih coincided with going to college and getting on a T1 line.

Right before Napster killed all college network speeds.

They’ll find a way to only pay republican voters. Possibly while looking to expel anyone who isn’t at the same time.

Trump should be afraid of what losing the majority will do to his dictatorship.

Also don’t forget that he has dementia and likely thinks of values from the early 80s, when $5000 still bought a decent new car, and the average income was 25k (median around 20k).

Thanks. I made an edit. I should stop scrolling in the morning.

You mean north Tennessee? I wouldn’t count on them.

$5.50 diesel vs the $3.75 high of the Biden years is $8,750 $875 a year extra in diesel for someone getting average 20mpg and driving 10,000 miles a year (both those are generous figures for coal rolling brodozer owners).

Edit: thanks I was a little tired when I divided the 10,000 in my head!

Now I need to look up real mileage and real driving distances too, it’s probably closer to 12k miles a year on average, but the real costs from expensive fuel are obviously the food production costs, and the delivery of everything.

Our 1/4 mile long road has a slight kink and telephone pole close to the road (and no sidewalks because our town hates poor people). Since Google maps shows it saving 1 minute over taking the adjacent main road, everyone bombs down it during rush hours and especially lunch time.

At least 1 mirror per week is rapidly disassembled by that pole. I’m collecting parts so that I can bring a bucket of it to the town meeting demanding they install a summer speed bump at the very least.

Seriously, both towns on either side have sidewalks, and crosswalks across the main roads. We only moved here to care for elderly parents and plan to leave as soon as the situation changes.

We know they am have a problem with empathy, but it’s really introspection that is missing or repressed in their community and religion.

They are taught to replace introspection with prayer and hearing the word of God.

I think they’d find out Washington Stste, Minnesota, Michigan, Maine, Vermont, New York and probably Massachusetts, California and Oregon would all join Canadian resistance.

Plenty of Americans are hoping a dumb ass move like that is enough to weaken the morons in charge and join your side.

Like both coasts and most of the bordering states would have majorities on Canada’s side.

My anti-theist brother was always convinced that Pastafarianism would eventually be taken as a serious religion.

He died before LLMs, and now I think we’d be best off if he was right.

The little electric ones that cut through aluminum poles are probably plenty. Lithium ion power tool batteries are crazy powerful at this point so there’s no need to mess around with gas axes anymore.

I’d rather step on some Democratic rabbit shit, than a colossal pile of human diarrhea that is the Republican Party though.

Scale matters and both sides are not the fucking same by any reasonable measure.

I think Trump really wants to try a Hitler on all of the Americas. I wonder if BRIC will be able to stop him like the soviets did in WW2?
