To be fair an F (0.0 points) is less than half of a D (1.0 points) as far as Grade Points are concerned so…. Kinda….

I assume those are probably the actual Arabic numerals (before they got the Indian numerals, hence why it doesn’t have a symbol for 0, which also came from India.)

I mean that's really sick and I hope it does well because I'd love to see that tech go further. Fairly tempted as I don't watch/play games much on my phone anyways.

Curious to see if this leads to licenses or degrees being revoked as universities have their name tied to what people are saying.

We would’ve done it either way but Trump can’t not take credit for shit.

Yes, so? So it’s fine to for literally no reason forcibly limit it? Just because old people don’t need 1tb phones doesn’t mean we should just make all iPhones 256mb phones.

We need more places offering the same upload as download so people can do these things from home. Here I know spectrum only offers like 10mb upload even if you’ve got like 3gb download.

Hm let’s check the cattle production statistics to check this

https://esmis.nal.usda.gov/concern/publications/h702q636h

Oh huh weird that’s the link from “cattle” stats but sure… let’s search up cattle info from September before the shutdown…

https://ers.usda.gov/sites/default/files/_laserfiche/outlooks/113406/LDP-M-375.pdf?v=41436

Oh total exports down 9%…. Total imports UP 30%

Yeah… I’m sure that’s… good…

Fair, I suppose I understand the idea but like... idk I can think of MANY reasons (patent bullshit, could be useful, or prove to be cheaper, or developed further into something better) why having something similar to an already existing process is still good. Look at Sodium batteries potentially now being 10% of the cost of lithium ones, even if they're a similar but generally worse storage technology. I don't think it should be a requirement that a new process or discovery have an inherent reason/advantage. Shit like that is how we end up with leaded gasoline.

sounds like saying “we already have a lung in our body why make an iron lung.”

Like I know obviously it’s not like plug this into your spine and cure paralysis but I could definitely be very useful.

Don’t forget the $3 “governance” fee (not from the government), the $5 “line maintenance” fee, the $7 “I’m sure there was a reason for this one but we forgot” fee, and the $50 “fuck you we have a monopoly on this apartment what are you gonna do about it” fee.

Huh you know from a music perspective I know we can get a lot higher than 500hz but most speech is apparently around 1-300hz.
