Whaaaaat? Are they suggesting the United States would ever do anything to harm people? People who have done nothing to deserve it, and certainly not to the united states?

And then the US lied about it????

Noooooooooo, that could never happen... repeatedly... throuought our entire history....

What elegance might even an extra millimeter of chassis space produced?

People really don't seem to understand that in the electronics world, one single millimeter can make worlds of difference.

You absolutely can cram so much more stuff in "dumber" electronics, but phones are even more constricted in design, because they need to send and receive signals of different types, so feedback and signal noise are concerns.

Adding in even slightly more space allows for much better design, because you have more tolerances to reduce signal noise. It allows dozens of wires for camera sensors to route better. A 20% longer battery life. Heck, just being slightly more ergonomic and less droppable is a bonus to slightly thicker phones.

I didn't even consider signal noise until I got into fpv drones and rc stuff, it can mame a ton of difference if you have a single wire 2mm out of place. (and crash your drone because the motor interfered with your antenna)

Thiner≠better.

I haven't made it past s3 of Quantum Leap yet, but the bit with god sound super dumb, so I'm hoping you're right and I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Krycek in X-Files was a piece of shit and I hated him. 10/10 performance from Nicolas Lea. Haven't finished the series yet.

Damn, I keep burning myself out by binging a series and never finishing them...

If you've got any sci-fi show hot takes, I'd love to hear them!

I don’t give a shit. That should be their problem not ours.

This should be everyone's reaction when faced with "but how will [company] profit with [X] ?" questions.

I'm sure the proud boys or kkk would love some of the racist jokes I've heard at work.

I wonder how Chapel would appreciate them.

I would agree if it weren't painfully obvious the Russian elections that brought put in in weren't heavily influenced by putin-run domestic terrorism and election fraud.

Wait, actually, it still is a good comparison.

Carry on.

There’s at least cause for a citizens arrest at that point

Yes, but....

gives a reasonable person fear of imminent bodily harm or death

Driver could shoot the HSI douche in the head and I'd say self defense isn't murder.

You hop in my car like that, you're gonna have a bad day.

Why would you give water to a country that has threatened to invade you in recent months?

I love how when I point out it's owned by a nazi, people rush in to defend their use of twitter and most usually it's some form of "it's the best for what it is/it has a huge user base" and me responding with a picture of musk doing the ol' Hitler Salute saying "okay but you're supporting this guy, and if you sit at a table with 10 nazis..." usually results in being blocked, people simply ignoring me, or saying something dismissive.

Is Switzerland full of sexist people who think "someday I'LL be rich so I don't want to tax MYSELF more, hypothetically maybe in the distant future"?

Executives should be forced work their lowest paid company position, and be dumped in an apartment with absolutely nothing.

See how long they survive.

You can talk to me about my work-life balance when I'm not putting the healthy option back because it's more expensive than the cheap unhealthy ultra processed bullshit and I can't justify the expense.
