Yep.
Entertainers get the big bucks because millions and billions of normal people spend a lot of time and money being entertained by them.
And we are always looking for the cool and funny next thing. And hawk tua girl legitimately entertained millions of us for 30 seconds.
That subreddit was one of the few things I miss from the Trump days.
Looking forward to the quality leopardsatamyface posts the next four years
Ahh, I didn't know it was already June next year.
Hopefully my current phone will last another year.
Yep, this is it.
They are trading battery longevity for faster charging.
Personally, I generally prefer battery longevity, since that is the main factor that causes me to buy a new phone.
This is also the main reason I would like to buy a Fairphone for my next phone. I can get a new battery for $50 and replace it myself. And with 8-10 years of updates, I figure I can actually use it for 8 years with two battery replacements along the way.
That would be more in line with the actual American tradition.
But personally, I would recommend to only allow filibusters in the House, which has a more proportional representation, and to not allow it in the Senate, which has the least proportional representation, even less than the electoral college.
Also, having been on the other side of such a situation: it's not cool to pressure or guilt trip your guests. Either be hospitable and let them do whatever they want, or don't invite them.
If people aren't hungry, then they aren't hungry. Maybe they are on a diet, maybe they misunderstood OP's intention and ate beforehand. Maybe they are recovering from something and don't want to eat too much.
And as for the two that did not showed up. It's a good practice to reconfirm the night before. Sometimes people forget. Sometimes life gets in the way.
If they did reconfirm and still didn't show up and did not have a good excuse, then I would start looking for better friends.
Hope OP has better success next time. I do understand that the situation sucks.
But it's also a situation that, in my opinion, is preventable.
Yep, all the electrical engineers who have chimed in say it looks more like explosives.
A battery would get hot and start a fire. It wouldn't instantly explode like this.
Because they manage to attract investment.
As long as investors are willing to give cash in exchange for equity, a company can operate on that cash and run at a loss.
I do find it interesting how much press it gets. Especially since Iran is quite capable of hiding their tracks better.
I think the goal of Iran was to get caught, so that if the election is close, one side will accuse the other of the election being stolen through help of Iran.
It might even be Russia or China framing Iran to be honest.
And I think the US is widely sharing this information to beat the war drums and have cause to attack Iran for election interference.
It's also by design.
The flaws are designed to be exploited by the rich and powerful.
In the 1990s, we all knew. And we had enough time and the technology to stop it.
That technology was nuclear, since solar and wind just weren't developed enough back then.
But we collectively decided that nuclear power was too risky, so now we are here today.
