I do find it somewhat ironic how much they have embraced USB-C on laptops and tablets, yet were essentially forced to add to their phones.

I responded to someone else, but I have a gaming laptop that needs the DC Barrel plug for playing games, but also lets you charge it with USB-C (useful for traveling). That would meet the standard set forth, as it is compatible with USB-C charging.

Good point with that last bit, I have a gaming laptop that comes with a big DC Barrel plug and power brick, which is essentially needed for playing games. However, it also lets you charge with USB-C which is what I use when travelling/doing productive work. I see no reason why this approach can’t be applied more regularly, as it increases flexibility and maintains compatibility with the standard.

This may not be a popular opinion, but I personally see no issue with this if the terms of service and use are made clear and transparent before you order the device. Would I personally recommend or use the product? Hell no, but people having an informed choice, and choosing to accept these terms is perfectly fine imo.

I use navigation all the time, or have it up at least, for the live traffic updates. Very useful!

When I worked at a grocery store, we had very cheap paper towels to absorb messes, and had to use a ton of them to actually clean up a mess. This is the part I never understood, you cheap out on the paper, now I have to use way more. Likely a multiple higher than how much cheaper it is. It’s only cheaper to buy, it’s very shortsighted.

Eventually they wised up and got us real, good paper towels. We used way, way less, and interestingly we only had good paper towels from that point forward.

Edit: Can’t forget to mention the extra labor costs with more time spent cleaning up a mess!

One of these days there’ll be an interview where Margot Robbie talks about her constant use of Lemmy

Earlier this week when I saw a post about it, I did end up getting a reddit thread which was interesting. It was partially hallucinating though, parts of the thread were verbatim, other parts were made up.

Oh, then not next.

Next!

Cost primarily. I’m okay with paying a little extra for glass bottles personally, I can reuse them.

Copyrighten is just how they say it out in the country.

“I dun been copyrighten all damn day”

I ended up getting a reddit thread from 3.5 with the word book, so it seems to me it’s not totally fixed yet. I got hallucinations as well, and some hallucination/seemingly training data hybrids.

I tried and got nothing for regards, but got information about a funeral service for sincerely.

I love you, thanks for the fun fact, SharkFucker420!

Late reply, respiration occurs in cells when they burn ATP energy, consuming Oxygen and producing Carbon Dioxide. Photosynthesis creates ATP rather than burn it. Plants will respirate and burn that ATP after it is created, but photosynthesis itself is not respiration. Hope you find this interesting!

Fairly minor correction, but photosynthesis is essentially the opposite of cellular respiration. Plants do respirate and release CO2, but their photosynthesis more than offsets their respiration.

Oh great, we get to have this whole song and dance again in January. Fun.

For more perspective, you’d need to make $100k/y net income tax. As a random example, in North Carolina with state and federal taxes, not accounting for any deductions, that’d be about $142k/y.

Adding this because with personal salaries people typically see and think of the gross number.

I know this is the FED’s goal in the US including interest hikes (as well as lowering consumer spending, which remains quite high), are similar policies/goals being implemented in the UK as well? Not as familiar with their economy, or government control on their economy.
