There are definitely good parts of Reddit, which is why I still lurk (at least for now).

Stay away from the big subs and especially anything political.

I’ve looked up stats on number of apps average phone has. The app count seems unrealistically low with how everything is pushing apps these days.

New Reddit is such a shit tier interface though.

Going public = enshittification. As in the former is a direct cause of the latter

You can’t comment or post, but being banned doesn’t actually prevent you from logging in and viewing. Well, unless they change that too.

Enshittification will continue until morale improves

Switched to an MVNO and have been quite happy with it. Cut bill by almost 2/3.

MVNOs do have a lower data priority than the parent network, but IME this hasn’t made much difference. I don’t tend to stream a lot of video on my phone though, so it might be a concern if you need fast data.

This is why I watch with subtitles. I set the volume based on action scenes, and they are practically whispering in conversations.

Emergency sirens in radio ads (i.e. often played in the car) are the worst.

“Designed” to be 100%. Obviously there are some practical limits, like if something wears out or physically breaks / degrades over time. Limits on how well something can be sealed, etc.

If you have an automobile, how often are you topping off the radiator?

It could easily be a van

So put a cap/shell on it to enclose it? It even shows this in one of the pictures. They are also releasing an “SUV” configuration. We can split hairs between the difference between an SUV and van, but I don’t think it’s helpful.

friend-shaped for collision

What do you mean? Are you wanting something more like a ute?

You’re clearly not the target audience for this vehicle. Neither am I.

And you know what? That’s OK

There’s a lot more than just one in the stink

“Cost of doing business”

So what? Should no basic, inexpensive vehicles be produced because you could get a nicer or more capable used one for a similar price?

Also, this one is electric. Sans the Cybertruck, there aren’t too many electric pickups out there, and probably not many on the used vehicle market.

codpiece for insecure people

Are you saying that the Slate being discussed in the article is a codpiece? I hardly think so. It’s a pretty damn basic vehicle.

I think the point is that a pickup truck bed is better for hauling this than vehicles with other body styles.

QQQ and VOO are both up handsomely year-to-date.

I haven’t been following the Steam Machine, but are they using integrated graphics for it?

A closed loop system would achieve this, or at least after the initial filling of the system.
