I can’t justify premium. For the same price I can buy for my family:

AppleTV+, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+

Or:

YouTube but without ads

I’ve been with Tidal since. I miss the Spotify recommendation algorithm but that’s it.

Two to three times what Spotify pay artists per stream.

Legend. Thank you!

Can you share this?

Politically sure, but economically the USA is hurt by this war. You may as well make the case that it’s in China’s interest, or Indias.

But that wouldn’t align with Kremlin disinformation that you’re spreading. Wilfully or not.

Russia (and Putin) are so weak the USA forced them to invade their neighbour?

Cope.

300kg of battery -> environmental catastrophe

The other 1,500kg of car? Made of unicorn kisses and butterfly dreams.

Nope, Toyota.

Since 2008 they’ve been trotting out a story annually that their amazing solid state batteries are only 2-3 years away.

They’ll revolutionise EVs, so there’s no point buying one now. It’ll be a worthless dead end.

Buy a proven Toyota hybrid instead to tide you over.

It’s not Toyota making the claim this time, it may not be bullshit for once.

The irony of clicking on this link and getting hit with “accept cookies” “Subscribe to unlock this article”.

Nah, it just has no apps, a poor battery life and like all new Apple product lines will be massively put to shame by its successors.

A cancer diagnosis and complications from chemotherapy. It’s been rough on her but she’s an absolute trooper.

Since September my wife has had about ten CTs, three MRIs, two major surgeries (the last one 7 hours long), one emergency surgery, weeks of chemotherapy and radiation treatments and about 8 weeks hospitalised including some time in the ICU.

Total cost: $0

Unless you count the cost of parking when I visit her in hospital, in which case I’ve spent about $170 USD

This is in New Zealand with a publicly funded health system.

Not going to lie, I’ll be avoiding flights on a Boeing for a while

This has all been in the last year…

On Twitter I’ve reported:

• Pictures of dead babies/toddlers
• Pictures of murdered people
• Death threats towards public figures
• Illegal videos of terrorist acts
• Ads for illegal weapons (tasers)
• So so much crypto spam

Things found by Twitter to go against their community standards? 0

You don’t have to like them, but explain to me how it’s a ‘deathtrap’ if it passes the same safety standards as a car produced anywhere else. A 5 star NCAP car doesn’t become less safe just because it’s Chinese.

6 of the top 10 safest cars tested in 2023 are from Chinese automakers.

They are producing and exporting safe and affordable electric vehicles and they’re seeing great success in Europe and Oceania. Tarrifs are the only thing protecting the US auto market from similar inroads.

That doesn’t stop them from existing, or being highly competitive. It’s up to western and Japanese car makers to compete rather than pretend it’s not happening.

The cars also pass NCAP/ANCAP testing with 5 stars.
