That’s more terrible than great.
They didn’t call Alexander the Great that because he was a good dude. “Great” doesn’t inherently mean beneficial. The iPhone changed the world. As did Apple stealing their concept for a GUI and cursor from PARC and running with it.
ARM is its own thing.
Sure, but not every ARM processor is the M-series. The M-series proving the capacity of running a desktop OS on ARM in a meaningful way was important.
The first woman in space was a lesbian and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
No, the first American woman in space was a lesbian.
Valentina Tereshkova, who beat Sally Ride to space by twenty years and two days, isn’t a lesbian (as far as we know). She’s been married twice, both times to men.
Leo is a pedophile. He won’t openly date a child but he will go as low as he possibly can without going to.jail
Leo’s behavior isn’t very socially acceptable, but he isn’t a pedophile.
His explanation is that he doesn’t have any interest in starting a family or having children, and he thinks that the drive to do so for women kicks in in the mid-to-late twenties. Women he dates know this going in, they know it’s never going to go anywhere real, they know there’s an end date. They get to participate in his lifestyle, they get to meet a bunch of important people, etc, in exchange for a sexual relationship with a very wealthy, attractive man.
They’re young, but they’re adults capable of making decisions for themselves. Maybe some will regret it later, others won’t. But regardless, it’s a mutual agreement between adults.
Gross? Creepy? Yeah, especially the older he gets. Sexist? Oh absolutely. 100%. Pedophilic? No.
Edit: fixed a formatting typo
Apple? The iPhone was kind of a big deal. It wasn’t completely original, but nothing ever is. It made the smartphone worthwhile for the average consumer in a way that Palm and BlackBerry and others simply didn’t, and directly led to the mobile ecosystem we have now.
Obviously there were plenty of players in the space but Apple had right combination of features and potential market due to the popularity of the iPod.
Edit: Oh, also the M-series processor. That’s pretty great.
I’m hopeful they’ll do Project Hail Mary justice.
I’ve got this bad boy. Has a nice big battery in it, can last a few nights without being charged.
It’s not a fan, but the white noise is really good and it has lots of sound options. Highly recommended.
Further proof that Ohio is terrible. Come to Michigan, we have inexpensive weed and beautiful lakes.
Give me more video inputs
I recommend a receiver. Then you only need one video input on the TV (and as long as it has ARC or eARC, if you DO have additional inputs on the TV their sound can still come through the receiver).
You’re not the first fellow TheReal<Something> I’ve found in the wild, but it always makes me do a double-take. 😃
Most (but not all) music has something to recommend it. If you don’t like entire eras of music it’s not because the music is “bad,” it’s because it’s not to your taste anymore (or, for stuff you didn’t listen to, never was).
Much like with food, if you can find what makes a particular genre enjoyable and listen for that, you can enjoy a lot more. I would never listen to Taylor Swift the same way I listen to Rush or Pink Floyd, but I still loved Midnights. I wouldn’t listen to Bach the same way I listen to Nightwish, but they’re both fantastic.
There’s nothing wrong with being discerning in your tastes. But there’s also nothing wrong with the styles of music you don’t like, it’s just a different flavor. I don’t like cilantro and never will, but I understand why people do. And I didn’t like coffee until I learned how to taste it properly. The same is true of music.
What client are you using? Maybe that’s the issue?
The Boeing 737-800 is a remarkably safe plane. Bird strikes can happen to any plane.
The landing gear was up because the crew left it up. This may have been on purpose to reduce drag (the flaps were also not extended). This can be done when the plane has lost both engines and needs to glide.
Landing gear have many failsafes, the last of which is to literally let them just drop by gravity. If the landing gear were the malfunction, the plane would’ve spent more time circling.
But the day after is only the second day of Christmas! There are, famously, twelve of them.
This isn’t an unpaid debt, it’s an illegal campaign contribution by city officials at their taxpayer’s expense.
The city can’t tell the Van Andel Arena they aren’t allowed to let Trump come in. And I’m sure they’re essentially obligated to provide a police presence and whatever else they’re charging his campaign for.
The city of Grand Rapids is pretty blue, and its government isn’t conservative. Huge swaths of West Michigan are conservative, and sure there are far more churches in GR than in most cities (it’s the central location for a few flavors of Reformed churches), but still. The city government aren’t exactly Trump supporters.
It is not the city residents being dumb, it is the city government being corrupt.
Grand Rapids isn’t a conservative city government. A lot of the surrounding area is, but GR itself isn’t. We just have the biggest arena around, so all the MAGAts come from all over West Michigan.
The city can’t stop him from campaigning here, they can’t go to the Van Andel arena and say, “No, you aren’t allowed to let Trump in.” They can just charge his campaign for any services provided, and then get shafted when he doesn’t pay.
You’ve got a whole half already!
