In the 80's-90's antibiotics were handed out like candy for everything. Any chance the "bugs" have become resistant?

After years of other manufacturers building folding phones, you would think Apple would have bought them, dissected all of them to see how they are built, how to improve designs and what not. Other than a manufacturing defect in a few hinges, I don't understand how Apple would release something like this. No pun intended, but Apples integrity HINGED on this phone.

Tesla experimented with this and discovered many people would charge up at work, then use the power at home in the evening leaving just enough charge to get back to work in the morning to recharge. A great life-hack to cut your utility bill, but the downside was the battery cycling dramatically reduced the life of the cells. If used properly, such as only during power outages or emergencies it is a very handy solution. When used daily, it will cost more for early replacement of the battery than the owner will save in utility bills.

I fly 200ish flights a year so figure 70-80 nights away.

2025 was 100% hotels but 2019 was about 80% Airbnbs.

Airbnb will never get my business back. Ever. The professional scammer hosts are so good at finding a way to nail me for a fee. Iâ(TM)ve taken perfect check out video and still had to spend hours fighting fees.

Airbnb allowed making guests do it.

They lost so much money to hotels theyâ(TM)re banning hosts from requiring it.

LOL, just from some of the videos I've seen of some of the current CHINESE robots, this guy would be dead in about 30 seconds with them in the ring.

I agree! Paper ballots. Heck, 40 years ago, the election was known by 1am on the east coast. Today? It might be WEEKS! (takes time to print new pre-voted ballots).

Go look on the google earth map. Look up: Haizi Mongol & Tibetan area, along with Talatan Solar Panel Park & Tengger Deser solar park. Along with that, close to those three is Qinghai Lake. Good source of water. China has been building up their solar out in the dessert areas, along with water reserves. Not to mention all of the "support" they have provided for the "anti-data center protests" in America & elsewhere. These tech types are NOT going to abandon their goal of AI data centers. China will welcome them with open arms. And of course he tech types will be somewhat protected by the CCP....until they get enough AI data to figure they aren't worth the trouble.

I just go to the deflock.org site. Couple months ago, it showed 150 cities that got rid of flock. Now it's over 275!

Hey, if you want one, no skin off my teeth. Seeing this is Apple's FIRST fold, I'd hold off. But, on the other hand they have had MANY years of reverse engineering to see the good & bad of folding phones to hopefully know what does and doesn't work. Apple is great at marketing. By saying over and over again that due to the complex nature of the device, low production and availability it can create "demand" and if they sell out quickly, they call it a super hit! If it didn't sell quickly, Apple wouldn't be stuck with excess inventory. Either way, Apple wins. They can test it all they want, but it will be interesting to see how it holds up in the real world.

Does that include the FORTY TRILLION in debt the U.S. government has? It has BALLOONED since the 70's when they took the government off the gold standard. Politicians on BOTH SIDES of the political isle have been on a drunken spending spree ever since!

female bots paid less? Oh I can't wait until the "equal rights" crowd gets ahold of this! Next, white male bots paid more than black/brown/yellow AI bots?

Other than media sites like TMZ, National Enquirer, Radar Online, ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, CNN who the h*ll watches those "look at me look at me" things anyway? Just another event, that the hollywood types can get dressed up, smile for the cameras, then go to a huge party afterwards.

This was started before Trump was president. Under Biden, Obama and pretty much every president going all the way back to the startup of all of the alphabet government agencies. But, because Trump is the president, this is HIS fault?

I just wish websites would find another way to "prove I'm not a robot". Sick of the popup that you have to checkmark that has cloudflare stamped on it.
