Comment Re:Still no fingerprint sensor (Score 1) 70

Face ID annoys the hell out of me. It's slow on my iPhone 15 Pro Max compared with the Touch ID on my regular iPhone 8 it replaced, although neither are as fast or work without an error as frequently as the Touch ID on my 2019 MBP. I have to pick the bloody phone up to use it when it's sitting on my desk, and how many times a day do I use MS Authenticator and I'm already putting my phone back down on my desk without realising it wanted to authenticate again?! And then with payments, why do I want to lift my phone towards my face when I'm actually wanting to push it in the other direction and height towards the payment terminal? Furthermore, it encourages tapping in your pin if it's required when the phone's already raised up for people behind you to see.

Are these American militias being massively supported and aided by China and Russia?

I suspect most of these people will just shit themselves and downplay their involvement or go the way of David Koresh if it actually escalated to a real confrontation with the government, who have a much more legitimate claim of representing The People anyway.

Comment Re: Healthcare should not be a profit center (Score 2) 237

I live in a country with universal healthcare where I pay somewhere between 30-35% in income taxes. People on lower incomes post far less. People without a job still get coverage. Why do you think it should put average taxes up to 50%?

On the flip side, you can get rid of all the admin overhead, which is very expensive, including the people who are paid to investigate claims or find ways to deny you coverage. Also, businesses donâ(TM)t have to waste money and attention on providing coverage, which makes their products more cost effective.

What handwaving? How am I trying to blame the other side? Where did I write that?

What Hamas did on 7th Oct is terrible and unjustified. I support Israel's right to defend itself. That doesn't mean they have carte blanche do as they wish. How can you not see that? Is your moral compass completely off?

And the Jewish settlers are consistently and constantly reasonable are they? Was turning Gaza in to a giant open air prison and destroying any hope for its population reasonable? Israel's killing of tens of thousands of women and children and driving over two million people to the point of starvation as well as destroying half their buildings is not reasonable and is disproportionate. You're clearly biased.

Both sides have done and continue to do bad things.
