Buy a dual hose portable AC, that’s what I did when I lived in an apartment that would get VERY hot no matter what. (Actually, to save some $$ I got a single hose and modified it to a dual hose, but depending on the specific model and the tolerances they built it to, it risks short cycling and possibly burn out)

They’re still not nearly efficient as a window AC, but far far better than those single hose ones

If you can fit a window AC do that instead, if you are able to make modifications, a small mini split/heat pump system would do wonderfully. Though I have heard that they make mini splits that go through small windows rather then needing to drill through the wall, so that might be an option too.

The other tips and tricks are nice, if you have exhausted all other AC options and simply can’t have an AC at all (Which is mostly due to cost, dual hose portable ACs are pricey) but they really don’t compare to an actual AC system.

Its not too late technically, you’ve listed all sorts of technical and logistical reasons, but it’s far too late to a get a fresh face in front of people and expect them to vote for them.

That’s the too late part, it’s possible, but it would be a massive risk and very expensive as they’d need to be running ADs non stop everywhere to go from a “fresh face” to “votable face” with the general public in 4 months

Not to mention, you think the red states wouldn’t do everything they can to stop having to change their ballots? I can see it now: “We’re 4 months from the election, can’t change it now ohhh welll!” ~Shithole Red states

A simple scan is fine, but to actually image a dying drive for recovery purposes, you should absolutely be doing a direct connection

Sprint was genuinely struggling.

They were on the verge of bankruptcy, really the 2 options were

1. Let T-Mobile (a distant third competitor to the big 2) buy them

2. Let sprint die, the big 2 buy large chucks of sprint anyways for pennies on the dollar post-bankruptcy and make their distance from T-Mobile even bigger.

If you need another reason, AT&T was very against the deal, so you KNOW what they think is bad is probably actually good for consumers

I’ve got to get to a damn gym right now

Not until we’re having to sit through upwards of 20 minutes on ads per “1 hour” episode

who owns RCS and has more sway on carriers

If that were true, RCS would have been implemented by carriers LONG ago like they were supposed to (the original spec was launched in 2008), well before imessage came out in 2011 and we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

But you know who actually does have a TON of sway with Carriers? Apple. You know who probably could have actually gotten them to implement RCS? Apple. Apple could have solved the RCS dilemma even before Google decided to do things themselves.

Apple didn’t even need to do much, just drop the mere hint that if carriers didn’t start implementing RCS they might stop selling the iPhone through them and they would have bent over backwards to get it done.

They didn’t because iMessage is just another tool to keep people locked into their ecosystem, and they’ve admitted as much. And any excuse of “Oh we wanted to work with the GSM consortium blah blah blah” is just that, an excuse for Apple fanboys like you to latch onto and parrot.

country in the world invade our Southern border, taking a week off work to prepare for a debate (who’s running the country?).

A good president can do that because a good president actually appoints good people that can be trusted to run things instead of a bunch of sycophants

And don’t forget the biggest difference of all, saying in court that they aren’t News but a “News entertainment network”

For one, Google never wanted to implement or run RCS, the carriers were supposed to do that specifically to prevent the fragmentation issue. But they couldn’t get off their ass, even after Google spent years pushing them to do so.

For two, even after Google said fuck the carriers I’ll do it myself, Apple was invited to participate in its implementation and Apple refused. They could have worked with Google to implement RCS across all devices. They didn’t because they want to keep people locked into their ecosystem. They had a great opportunity to ensure all the privacy and encryption features were implemented how they liked.

You don’t care, because you’re an adult, what you or I see as a simple visual indicator is yet another thing that HS teens will use to bully and peer pressure with.

But you should care in the sense that Apple is exploiting teens still developing brains and maturity with dark patterns to get them “hooked for life” in a way.

While Google should open source it, it’s important to note that Google never actually wanted to run or implement RCS. It was supposed to be the carriers, but they never did and even Google spent years pushing them to get off their ass and they still didn’t. It was years before Google finally went “Fine, I’ll just fucking do it myself”

Shoeshiners are for “nice” shoes that use primarily “hard” materials for the outer layer that can be, well, shined. They don’t typically take care of the inner parts where more standard fabrics are nor do they do sneakers.

Sneakers you can toss in the washer and call it a day

Yet another Linux phone with subpar specs. That processor is quite underwhelming even compared to Google’s Tensor G1, a proc that many regard as crap as is and it beats this Dimensity 900 handily.

I think he was meaning more “run them out of town” and less “vote them out of office”

So anyways, I’m bringing the popcorn, who was supposed to bring the drinks?

Nowadays, they are boring.

Fr, the foldy phones have been the biggest good innovation in like a decade. Unfortunately, now I’m stuck, I’ve had a taste and I can’t go back now. It’s like moving up to multiple monitors and then trying to go back to a single monitor setup after awhile

main competative advantage is just breaking the law

If you’re talking employment law, then yea for sure

If you’re taking laws like those that cap taxis licenses arbitrarily that the Taxi industry pushed for so that bigger companies could buy them all up and establish a monopoly, then I can look the other way on those

That’s a ride hailing app, it’s just another Uber/Lyft. It’s not a taxi.

Fuck Taxis and Uber

An entire industry that’s playing the victim. Stop falling for it and stop romanticizing taxis, the shit they pulled was just as bad, if not worse than what Uber does.

Biggest difference is their drivers were complicit in the shenanigans and primarily targeted their customers. Taking LONG routes because their customer “wasn’t local”, saying a route will “probably be 10$” and then it’s 50 and “the meter says what it says man”.

They literally used strict regulations as a shield to hold local monopolies for decades which resulted in terrible downright scammy service, cash only for an unacceptable amount of time, 0 innovations, dirty ancient barely running cars, a dispatch who would constantly say a car “was just around the corner” for 2 hours

The taxi industry doesn’t give a fuck about you, they’re just mad because they didn’t think to do what Uber is doing and now they’re dying. When/If Uber/Lyft dies, I guarantee the Taxi industry will resurge for the worst and take pages out of Ubers playbook. It’s just going to go back to the wait it was before.

Fuck Uber AND Taxis, they both can rot in hell, but I don’t mind seeing taxis get there first.
