I'm sure it has to be written in a book for Chuck Schumer to think it qualifies.

I just wrote a book that says that Chuck Schumer's house is on my ancestral homeland, because my deity says so. That makes it Chuck's fault when I drop bombs on it.

Tongue weight and towing capacity are two different things.

Max tongue weight for a Cybertruck is 1100 lbs. They put almost ten times on it before it broke. It was fun, but it's not a valid test.

Taking design cues from the flying dildo, I see.

If you have a Voodoo card laying around, it might be worth some money. They were used in some coin-op arcade games.

If only they’d stop buying from Ted’s Second Hand Only Lightly Singed Nightclub Signage.

Yeah, this opinion piece reeks of "buyer's remorse" for having paid a premium for hardware that has the Apple logo on it, and then being mad that it's very locked down. That's been Apple's thing forever, you kind of can't blame anyone else for your purchase decision at this point.

For most people, the hardware and operating system are "one thing," inseparable. Most people are not installing a different OS on their hardware, even if it is possible and relatively simple for people who are technically inclined. Does that mean that most people are "locked in"? Not really, not from their perspective. They bought "the thing," and "the thing" either works for them or it doesn't.

So we have this author lamenting that "the thing" he bought doesn't work for him the way he'd like, without recognizing that if he had specific needs from "the thing" that it doesn't provide, he failed to sufficiently research "the thing" before purchasing it.

I expect it to go down like this:

"Look, Vlad - if you don't agree to this ceasefire, we're going to stop supplying you with weapons and intelligence."
