Also annoying that articles like these never list the full list of affected beverages. We can't have a negative taint against our dear corporations!

Oranges aren't squeezed anyway. They're separated into tanks of raw components and then mixed so OJ always tastes the same.

The tech has been in Samsung phones for several years, and is good enough that one's fingerprint will read through vinyl gloves if they aren't too scrunched up. It's fast and decent.

Does make me wonder though, it's a Qualcomm tech. Does that mean Google is finally going back to Qualcomm chips? The pixel modems have been trash ever since they left.

Fun fact. The Thunderbolt had two modem chips, a 3G modem and a 4G modem. Normally phones have one modem. Also the 4G modem was indeed super inefficient and ate electricity for breakfast. It was necessary at the time as Verizon hadn't fully integrated CDMA and LTE yet.

Do the insurance companies shield themselves by dividing into regional/state zones?

Edit: also, because it seems it'd be safer to balance risk v reward across the whole country. (They also invest insurance money in the stock market where most of their profit comes from.) Although, I suppose it'd be easier to grift states of their money when it looks like a subsidiary is failing rather than just looking at the whole balance sheet instead.

Short of congress impeaching Supreme Court members (which they can do), it seems the only real answer is to just expand it so that it has so many seats, it is effectively as useless as congress.

That's an astute observation. The Democrats are like the perpetual optimist from 90s cartoons that think the story always ends happy, the good guys win, and all you need is honor and trust and a good soundbite to pull through, instead of actually playing chess, or checkers, or perhaps politics with enough forward thinking to actually plan a few moves ahead for once. Perhaps they should hire an evil person to teach them how the R's think.

To bring sexy back.

(But seriously, what a terrible television program, one old man spouting nonsense and the other looking confused and lost. There was absolutely zero reason for anyone to watch it.)

It really doesn't seem to be the political climate to do something good for the people right now, at least in the US. I feel dirty even typing the last part. It's so sad.

His handlers likely gave him 3 topics to remember and told him to otherwise just spew shit (act normal), knowing it would confound Biden.

With governance across the US destroying libraries left and right, what IA is doing is basically a necessary future.

All the old Marijuana convictions being overturned means the corporate prison system has a shortage of free labor. Seems like jailing the homeless puts them back on top. Big Brain SCOTUS. /s
