Darn you broadband
- Comment on Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough 4 days ago:
3GB, actually. That was on iPhone XR, which is basically the only budge iPhone Apple has made.
- Comment on Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough 4 days ago:
Don't we already have that since iOS 17?
- Comment on Internet Archive forced to remove 500,000 books after publishers’ court win 1 week ago:
Unfortunately, that's like saying everyone has the right to read any book that IA usually archives for free at any time. Do I agree with that? Yes. Does it hurt intellectual property? Yes. There's obviously evidence that readers used the service a lot. I agree with the principle, but they should've just temporarily "merged" with public libraries and increased borrowing limits for books in stock, not allow everyone in the United States to just get a book as long as they have less than 9 other books as well.

McNamara seemed to suggest that publishers would have been further enriched if not for IA providing unprecedented free, unlimited e-books access.

- Comment on Why do we associate reverby electric guitar with the ocean? 1 month ago:
The question I'm asking is why these sounds evoke waves. I don't see the resemblance.
- Comment on Why do we associate reverby electric guitar with the ocean? 1 month ago:
"Oh, Susana" has 5-tone verses. Or, did you mean temperament (which I assume means the "distance" between the tones) when you said "move away".
- Comment on Why do we associate reverby electric guitar with the ocean? 1 month ago:
Interesting. I'm talking more about stuff like the (TV series's) ending theme and the "steel sting" though. Loop de loop doesn't particularly sound like it, though Ocean Man kinda does.
- Comment on Why do we associate reverby electric guitar with the ocean? 1 month ago:
yeah, just listen to the electric guitar in spongebob
- Comment on Why do we associate reverby electric guitar with the ocean? 1 month ago:
So you're saying that we associate the surf music sound with ocean because musicians decided to put surfing lyrics on that sound for whatever reason?

Their point is that GSF also does a lot of privacy-invasive stuff

I mean, stalking seems more common than using this for anti-theft

Of course a Midwestern library has a cake-pan collection.

Note that the featured rate in the article is "Another rented a planer at £11 a day to fix two doors in her flat after being quoted £245 for a handyman to come in and do the three hour job".

Hopefully you have an actually competent and accurately-priced makerspace near.

Ah yes, buying everything you don't need too long isn't consumerism but renting and reusing is
- Comment on How rental ‘libraries of things’ have become the new way to save money 1 month ago:
The problem is that you're renting access to something you're not actually consuming.
But you are effectively consuming them. Just like renting books and movies, you nearly always don't need it again after you return it.
Nice talking point just to cover your bum from shilling.

I feel like digital software subscriptions have stigmatized subscriptions in general. Subscriptions are great for things that require constant investment to be meaningful. One subscribes to news and receive constant reporting on the latest news; one subscribes to a tool library and get access to nearly every tool one can need. Plus a large part of the article is about non-profit libraries anyway.

Besides what other people have said, there's virtually no chance of the CCP divesting from TikTok.

There is a roof. People aren't going outside. There are also optional door coverings I've seen.
The rest of your argument sounds like it works against any new vehicle purchase, not to mention the added comfort this has over many bikes.
At around $19000, the FUV is cheaper than any of these silly, roofless and less capacious Caterhams you've linked. Not to mention gas prices. - Comment on How rental ‘libraries of things’ have become the new way to save money 1 month ago:
What could go wrong with depending on such a service?
- Comment on How rental ‘libraries of things’ have become the new way to save money 1 month ago:
And how is that a bad thing?
- Comment on How rental ‘libraries of things’ have become the new way to save money 1 month ago:
They bought it to market for four glorious years but couldn't achieve mass-production before they basically went bankrupt.
- Comment on How rental ‘libraries of things’ have become the new way to save money 1 month ago:
Even better would be that Arcimoto MUV thing. Sadly it appears they went bankrupt
- Comment on How rental ‘libraries of things’ have become the new way to save money 1 month ago:
I don't think all friends and family own all these stuff either. And this really does save money. The machine here is at most consumerism, incentivizing us to pay extra and own everything we'll use for like at most a month, which I think is too far of a stretch.
- Comment on How rental ‘libraries of things’ have become the new way to save money 1 month ago:
The subscription's 10 items per month, not per year, and return the next month. Babies outgrow really quickly when they're young.
According to Or Collective’s website, I have saved £640 over the past two months. Not that I would have ever spent that much - the clothes I borrow from brands such as Bobo Choses and Tinycottons are much pricier than I’d ever be able to justify, which is part of the service’s appeal. My daughter is far better dressed than I am as a result. That said, you can buy them at a reduced price if you become particularly attached.

Seems like renting with extra risk and steps

funnily enough, that's the part of his speech he got right. like what the fuck even is a truck
