I don't know anyone that doesn't have a decent phone these days, with nice map options and data plans. Screens are bigger than ever and resolution is great. Just put 3 x 6 inch pad (with magnet for charging), or just flat area for suction cup. USB port in proximity for power. No syncing, no fiddling, no updating (beyond what you do for your phone anyway)

No brainer.

If you own the equipment at end of term, it's a finance plan. If you don't own it, it's a lease.

Not that hard, not that weird.

No actual data. Mostly speculation about what may or may not be true. No explanation on how liquid water could exist at those conditions in space.

Could have been a Guardian story. lol

modern stick ( 2019 BMW) has hill-hold, really a game changer. I remember driving in my VW in SF years ago. White knuckled yanks on the hand brake, ay yay yay!

You have to commit to this idea. You need to pay more attention to the traffic and be prepared for shifts, up or down, depending on what is the situation around your car. So for that reason I can see the EV crowd walking away and never looking back.

But aside from the nostalgia (I learned on a stick, had a VW til I graduated from college) there is something to be said for relying on your own skills. The car cannot get there alone, you must take control and drive.

Medium/media is latin FYI

This topic gets people riled up for some reason. I hate the change only because I think it's stupid, but in reality stupid things happen around me all day, what's one more?

I don't remember this; I was a middle schooler then. I must have been pretty out of it to not notice.

like slashdot posters you might say

I bet $10 that it only comes in white.

Why can't AI provide the layoff list? Not that I'm in love with AI - just asking the question.

Astronomers noticed that the sugar was concentrated on massive flake-shaped exoplanets that reside in what's known as the "bowl region" in the Milky Way.

This is a good comment - more people should pay attention. The system always follows the money.

Other ways that are helping: low cost high deductible plans, walk-in centers that use RNs and PAs who are qualified to order tests and write scripts (lower cost solutions that won't have MDs but can refer one if needed)

If you need care, avoid ER if at all possible. And pre-negotiate costs! don't take on care and find out the bill later! trust me on this one.

force them to do their homework using it every day.

Ha Ha - I went through a number of years with terrible insomnia. I think death is better (joking please no flames !)
