"The study did not include people who are street-entrenched or who have serious addictions or mental health issues"

Seems kind of disingenuous to leave out people who are addicted to alcohol or drugs. No, that's not most of them, but yes that is some of them.

The study simple ignores them so how can one make conclusions like "contrary to what people believe" and "the opposite of what people think" without actually considering the subject in question

They took a gamble and tried to play the streaming game - and lost

Did any of y'all Roku owners buy their device for the purpose of their streaming content? I know I didn't - I bought it because of the promise of an excellent UI to organize all of my other already-existing-and-too-many services in an easy streamlined interface even my dad could use.

I'm their prime demographic, currently car shopping to replace my wrecked Benz, and was leaning towards a Model 3 up until reading this headline lol. I guess I could still charge at home or if the network fails it could be purchased by another company?

Or I just avoid stressing about it altogether and get a normal car

It wasn't just luck, the eclipse itself has a tendency to clear out clouds:

Was similar here in Austin - sky has been hazy/cloudy most of the day including the partial eclipse - and then conveniently cleared up for a few minutes exactly around the time of the totality

And yet they've turned their back on *Android tablet users and refuse to support the tab bar.

Ridiculous. Only reason I switched to Vivaldi

Web 2.0 happened :/

It centralized control to a few large corporations and lowered the barrier to entry for users such that everything became a popularity contest for eyeballs. TikTok, reddit, facebook, youtube, instagram, OF, its all a brainless race for engagement

Its the metal connectors between the bands/lines.

2 connectors = 1 signal (mono) + 1 ground

3 connectors = 2 signals (stereo) + 1 ground

I highly recommend watching The Territory: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt16378164/

Its a documentary following one of these indigenous tribes and the shit they have to go through in keeping their autonomy. Like its one thing for the government to say a certain land is theirs, but what are they supposed to do if a logging company starts cutting down their trees and the local law enforcement doesn't care?

Its getting harder and harder to find a regular walmart anymore here in Texas. They seem to be all Supercenters or Neighborhood Markets (only groceries)

What about if you just jump, especially really high? or stand on a ladder? :P

1984 here, checking in.

A combination of:

  • I was very curious about computing and trying different applications
  • I liked customizing and tinkering with my setup: Launcher, window manager, icons, etc.
  • I was a poor teenager

On the windows side, there were neat apps like Stardock Windowblinds, for the most part, everything was paid and expensive for someone with no disposable income.

Mind was blown when I realized everything I wanted was available for free! My first install was actually from a CD that came with a book I checked out from the public library

Oh man, we thought everything was so bad, turns out those were the good times

LOL I originally did draft it that way when I was submitting, but changed it so it didn't sound like I was 14!

I'm wondering what is the percentage of homeless that are addicts or have mental health issues. You seem to be confident they are outliers, but what is the percentage? Is it 1%? 25%? 50%?

Seems like a logical fallacy to me without knowing that stat.

Mr Coffee single cup machine, makes hot or iced, 1 cup at a time, its awesome! no more stupid pods

https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Coffee-IcedTM-Hot-Maker/dp/B093XTHCZL/

Interesting, I tried a simple test with a user and it worked fine, blocked them on the first attempt. I actually had difficulty unblocking them later, though, I don't think it "stuck" and had to refresh and/or navigate to a different page, and then unblock them and it worked

/shrug

Oh yeah, I think I added the keyboard cover as an add-on some samsung store credits I got when I bought the tablet

They look like this https://www.amazon.com/s?k=keyboard+cover+tab+s7&crid=1HDD6CS0HQNH7&sprefix=keyboard+cover+tab+s7%2Caps%2C208&ref=nb_sb_noss_2

Oh, believe me, my usage has dropped by around 95%

only reason I made several is to "claim" my username on different lemmy instances. I'm hoping at some point I can merge or link them somehow

It says one is not able to use the new API for all scenarios

They're just called tablets now. My Tab S8 w/ keyboard has pretty much replaced any use I needed for my personal laptop at home

So you'd essentially be proposing that we don't help

Excuse me? I haven't proposed anything. I'm simply asking questions because the headline/description seemed misleading to me and not adequately conveying the full story/situation. Purely from a math/stats/logic point of view

Ride a bike. You get exercise, sunlight, cheap transportation, thrills/adventure, and good feelings, it's a win win

And if possible, find a local social bicycling group near you. Adds even more benefits when you are riding with a group

Yeah, charging is the main reason I skipped a Tesla 4-5 yrs ago and went for the Benz. Thought chargers were getting more ubiquitous and available enough for me to give it a shot this time around, but all these Tesla layoffs got me second-guessing that

yes, that's the plain vanilla logged out experience of reddit.com w/ a private browsing window
