Yep, if there's one thing that needs fighting, it's those pesky lower gas prices.
Well, you have to admit they've done a darn good job of fighting them so far!

Is ChatGPT Changing How You're Writing?
No, it's not changing how I write. I don't actually like the long-winded prose these AI agents spit out. I typically end up completely rewriting it, on the rare occasions that I use it at all.
However I do share the OP's affection for the Oxford comma.
Whenever autocorrect inserts an m-dash in place of a short dash, I always undo it. I hate m-dash.
How will they ever catch the Hamburglar if he's running GrapheneOS?
I am one of the 3%. My mother says I'm special!
But (a) it's written in Rust because Mozilla didn't trust C++ (b) Google did the implementation so it's an example of both parties collaborating regardless of the Chromium/Gecko divide.
They're building quite the Duck Dynasty.
Pinephone is all but dead, so the era of open handsets appears at an end.
But Lenovo going above and beyond here might have flow on effects for other projects through documentation.
I've been using Freestyle Libres (2, 3, 3 plus) for several years now. I have fewer connection issues with Libre than I used to have with the Dexcomm. I also find the Libre's adhesive to be superior to that of the Dexcomm - with the latter, I always had to use overpatches to keep them attached..
One thing Dexcomm does have over the Libre is it can be calibrated against a fingerstick. Also, I think right now the Dexcomm is the only one that will directly work with (certain brands of) an insulin pump. I'm not insulin-dependent, so that doesn't impact me.
"If one comes loose it is also useless and has to be replaced" is true of any CGMS, not just the Libre. They rely on a tiny tube that gets inserted just below the skin - it's not practical to re-insert that if it gets pulled out. But I can't say that's been a significant problem for me, at least.
Just gonna drop this here.
They're planning on using security features from Snapdragon.
Entry level Moto phones come with Mediatek.
I supposed Kindle readers will be upset, but Alexa is garbage.
What has the former got to do with the latter, other than both being Amazon products?
I like my Kindle, but I agree that Alexa is garbage.
C4 pathway photosynthesis can persist to CO2 values as low as 10ppm. Those levels should persist for another 1 to 1.5 billion years.
So our lawns will survive.
I wonder about CAM plants - desert plants, and tropicals like pineapple? That's pretty similar to C4.
Can't wait to see the comments on this one!
H-1B abuse is Huge in the tech sector and traditionally lamented here. But on the other hand, Trump is the one doing the fixing.
As the saying goes - even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
I can sort of see how working on getting bipedal robots moving faster than humans - and doing it well - might provide useful information to robotic companies, given the sort of roles they're developing these robots for.
But I'm not sure what the practical advantages would be in pushing them to cheetah speeds, for instance. At that point, why bother with bipedal versions? There are better, more stable means of locomotion.
But what about his brother, Insane Bolt?
Some people pray for more than they are willing to work for.
