Tim could have made 1987 real by 2022.
He made various sizes of Job's last product instead.
There are varying interpretations of "shareholder duty" and rent seeking isn't the only valid one.
Kudos for a decent northbridge in the M series, I guess.
The elder half of the AARP membership may get a biased view of the AI bubble.
Other than that this should have zero relevance to anybody.
Oh noes.
Sad I could justify dropping $20k on a Mac Studio if one was available north of 128gb these days (check the site all above 96gb are gone)
I believe they are advertising the 512's gbs are coming in a few months.....
The reality is Apple very much positioned their product line as fashion items,
Having an Apple product hasn't been a "status' symbol of any sort for decades now....
They're just commodity products, nice ones....but commodity products and no one buys them or sees them as a fashion or status symbol purchase...
That's been a thing of the past for quite awhile now...
The next president will be just a bit worse than Donald Trump. The president after that just a bit worse
No, Obama was better than his predecessor without question.
You are voting for a winner take all
Australia has ranked voting, which seems like a good idea but it didn't really solve the problem.
They don't give you a choice, not really. You pick the face, the party picks the plan
The problem is that both parties are full of sycophants, hanger-ons, leaches, and rent-seekers. The problem won't be solved as long as voters generally don't realize that. Currently, no more than 10% of the public realizes that.
and this view is now so ingrained that people don't expect anything anymore from Democracy and are ready to try something else.
WTF are you talking about? Who are these people that want to try something other than Democracy? They are all Russian or Chinese.
There are plenty of people tired of capitalism, but no one wants to move on from Democracy. Kim jong Un wants to move on from Democracy.
Ended up learning to lay tile myself.
Smart.
"If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary."
if you get the roof replaced, get in-roof solar that replaces the tiles with panels,
Maybe we're using different words/meanings....but if we both consider a tile a "tile"...then in the US, most house roofs are NOT done with tiles....in fact I'd only seen roof tiles on old houses when I moved to New Orleans....it isn't common to see roofs with tiles.
Asphalt shingles are the most common roofing material in the US.....when I think "tile" I'm thinking like terra cotta, or the like and that's not common. You used to see wood shingles too back in the day, but not so much anymore.
So, not sure if a solar 'tile' replacement type thing is really offered here in the US (it may be)....but if it is, I'm guessing it would be sky high in price for materials and then add on specialized labor would be $$$$.
Let's remember that Trump was always a east coast Democrat who opportunistically jumped into the 2016 election as a Republican because it was an opportunity for self promotion and free press. Nobody - including him, I believe - thought he'd win.
When he did, his liberal friends turned on him with their typical viciousness, which hurt his all important ego. They spent 4 years in (essentially) permanent impeachment hearings, based on information provided by Russia, which in his simplistic view, entrenched his victim complex and obsession with revenge.
Couple this, then, with the triumphalist left who felt when they defeated the wicked witch, they could do no wrong, and so decided to spend 4 years taking a Victory Shit on everything they could, from inviting 30 million illegals into the country to having trannies flop their frankentits out at the White House on Easter.
Trump is an exponential narcissist, childish, crude, and frankly rather dumb.
Think how odious and repellent the Left have to be to lose to him TWICE?
The previous poster likes to frame it as a vast right wing conspiracy but the truth is never quite that convenient. Most organized churches & clergy in the US are now about gay priests & rainbow banners, actively spreading and refuting their remaining few hyper conservative rural congregations. Democrats have always been a majority in the US, since the Republicans were formed to get rid of slavery. The only reason any Republican ever wins is that enough Democrats get tired of their own party's bullshit and vote right. In the last election EVERY SINGLE DEMOGRAPHIC BLOCK SHIFTED RIGHT (aside from, predictably, white women). Think about that. Blacks & Hispanics - in particular black men - voted in unprecedented numbers for Trump. Or, more accurately, against a Democrat machine that has milked them for votes for 70 years. The election wasn't really (by modern margins) that close.
Don't let the ideologically captured slashdot fool you. The country, having seen Trump as president once, and offered another 4 years of Obama-Biden-Harris said "No, thanks, we'll take the nutball instead". Instead of swallowing the party line of your own European media, maybe ask yourself why. And unlike Democrats, don't just start with the assumption that anyone who disagrees with you must be stupid. That's an ideology for a child.
I don't even faintly dispute that Trump is a shitty, egotistical president. He is. And he makes some really walk decisions. But he is really what the left made him, and I suspect that only a colossal who like his would have been able to buck the malignant insider cabal of both parties. In this case the medicine is unfortunately nearly as bad as the disease.
And how's that worked out for him?
Better than I would have hoped.
But I should have expected it. Both parties are just leaches and clinger-ons, bottom feeders, and sycophants. Every once in a while someone with a little ambition comes along and can sweep the place, that is Trump.
