It uses Wi-Fi and has sms fallback and works with iMessage

I would go back to android if they had iMessage. That’s really what’s keeping me on iPhone.

Not Roman, Greek. The Greek sculptures were painted. Roman sculptors found the Greek marble beautiful without paint, and didn’t paint theirs.

This is dumb as rocks

The most charitable interpretation is “well crocodiles didn’t change in the last 100 million years but birds did so that means maybe crocs are closer since birds evolved to get farther away”

That’s dumb because both birds and crocodiles have been changing the whole time. Just because crocs look more similar to their fossils, doesn’t mean they haven’t been evolving/drifting/etc.

Same thing any time someone talks about “sharks haven’t changed”. It’s dumb.

This is some dunning Kruger shit.

Other countries have capitalism and they have transit.

You could spend 100m in a day on real estate where I live. There are multiple 40-50m parcels available all over the place.

boujiest

I know this is one of those “grandpa doesn’t like it when they make up new words” scenarios, but you can just say “most bourgeois”.

K selection be like that

Plumberpunk! I’m fucking dying

Passenger safety features have become very expensive and make cars less maintainable and therefore more wasteful. Backup cameras and parking sensors and merging sensors/indicators.

Loosen passenger safety regulations while they’re at it. It’s become insane. Cars are safe enough for occupants, and have been for two decades at least.

Meanwhile, maybe we can make pedestrian safety more of a priority.

But when there’s only one lane on a mountain road and someone is going slow because they are scared of the mountains or scared of a tunnel for some reason…. Like dude pull over and let people pass

Use the water pressure to power a turbine generator, then use the electricity from that generator to run a window AC unit

Whatever a red car is still a car.

It’s dumb to say it isn’t a planet just because it hasn’t yet cleared its orbit. The decision to make it “not a planet” was also made by astronomers, not by planetary scientists. Like people with “Star” in their name know more about planets than people with “planet” in theirs.

Anyways it’s extra silly because if you have “real planets” and “dwarf planets” then what is the higher group containing those two? “Things that orbit the sun”? No, they should both be planets.

There are at least 9

Pluto is a dwarf planet. Planet. You wouldn’t say that a dwarf person isn’t a person.

Kind of

I thought Gotham city in Batman is supposed to be Detroit

It’s in New York??? I thought it was a Detroit thing. Then why do we have Coney Island hot dogs??

I hear you, but I disagree. My people are great at slacking me or each other when they need stuff. We have a great collaborative atmosphere. They set up meetings with each other and with me as needed, and I’ve heard over and over that they really like that. I have weekly 1:1 meetings with each of them, and usually we hang up after 15 minutes because they know what they’re doing and can get back to it.

Imagine actually going to daily standup, wow

I made a daily meeting invite, and told my team to never show up to it. Lets them show up to work an hour later since I put it in the calendar for 930-10.

They’ve been raised on systems where you don’t need it, and they fundamentally don’t understand how one talks to a computer. It’s actually quite a bit to learn, and if you didn’t grow up doing it, it seems like a big cliff.
