The battery is good enough that I often travel with just my phone charger. I can plug the laptop in at night when the slow charge rate isn't a hindrance and be fine with the all day battery life

I am in the same boat. I prefer battery life

That makes sense. Those other places don't actually matter, but America does.

"Services" are actually fake and it turns out you need to be able to make things to survive. Not for ROI or for trade deficits, but because the world manufacturer sets the rules.

>clean streets, no homeless, practically zero crime

The US regressed on this heavily in the last generation.

Not defending alt-archaeology, but there is a major difference between precision of construction and volume of construction.

People in cities are voting that rural people should bear the cost of getting power to the cities.

Great point. I don't know that I'd say people want a crash, but that they are ambivalent to a crash as long as legal and illegal immigration are stopped and rolled back.

This thread is highlighting that climate change initiatives are about harming the West in favor of everyone else.

China is by far the biggest carbon emitter. People try to obscure that through "per capita" and "historical cumulative" figures and "percentage improvement".

The way people contort themselves to protect China, the mega-emitter is laughable. They improved 2.7%!! So they went from 31% to 30.92% of total manmade CO2?

You're not serious about the climate, you just want to punish the US/West.

No. The incremental CO2 is what is harming us. We're already experiencing the effects of 1750 to present. What happens from now on will incrementally deteriorate the climate.

It doesn't matter because it's done. There is nothing we can do about it, only about the present. China is presently the worst CO2 emitter.

Why does China have the right to "develop" when they are already one of the most advanced countries on the planet?

Do they get to advance until they're in first place? And then what? It stops there or does India get a shot at being first place? Then Nigeria?

Meanwhile what does the climate look like if every single country executes the China 1945-2025 playbook?

-2.7% to what total amount? +4.2% to what total amount?

This obscures the numbers. The climate doesn't care about improvement, only about total tons of CO2.

That is not a serious position, that is a political position.

CO2 since 1750! This isn't serious. Who is currently today doing the thing? china

Does the climate care about per capita? no

1oz bars IIRC, not like the bars you see in movies

CO2 emissions by country: China vs US. Number only.

Sorry I don't believe you.

The "best talent" is a major scam. International students/alumni did not make these universities the best in the world or create that prestige.

What is the cost of "meeting diverse people" and can the average US student afford that.

Every benefit must be judged by its cost.

I hope a similar thing is happening in Seattle's U-district.

Housing costs are by far the largest line item expense for a student. Actual tuition/books is pretty affordable [1]

Not OP but I infer that they're point is US colleges should primarily serve US citizens, not "talented" foreigners

Huge win for US high school and college students. Not so good for bloated college administrations.

>are funded with tax-payer money

This has nothing to do with profitability. DoD/War Dept contracts are "tax payer money" and shareholders are happy to have those.

>it is actually cheaper to run 10 KILOMETERS / 6 Miles of Fiber cable through the jungle

Cheaper, sure. But try getting this approved in the US through a County Planning Commission. And you did get NEPA/CEQA done too right?

>No, not rural USA. Fiber will be cheaper.

My not-that-rural town has fiber only 80% of town. Houses with city sewer/water don't have fiber

Yes totally batshit crazy but in the usual manner of real human relationships. Thanks for sharing (your story)!

You're right. They may be a "consumer" but they're wearing their develop hat. Consumers don't care about update cycles.

You nailed it. Or those old *KU-CHUNK* machines that I remember from my childhood.

I pivot between small phones and phablets every upgrade cycle.

Currently enjoying a Pro Max and loving it, but I'll hate everything about it in two years and go for the smallest current gen iphone

> I don’t have the discipline to keep going when it takes that long to get any results.

so yeah, that's kinda the whole game

Very interesting I didn't realize divorce rates were dropping across the nation. Still seems like KY is ~40% better than the average.
