The death threats were from her backing away.

The op referenced laundry machines. That was my comment on the $3k Speed Queen. Speed Queen is a laundry machine- not a dishwasher.

The second paragraph was my referencing dishwashers, not laundry machines. Yes the Bosch has physical buttons. But some features, like half load, which were physical buttons on the same model, now require an app.

Since they are threatening, Iran doesn’t need denial. An anchor is safer and easier than underwater demolitions.

I cannot understand how ~50% over the voters think that ever is great and they want more.

They want higher gas prices. They want more inflation.

they aren’t held up as socialist countries.

The meme is so well known because they are and are not held up as socialist depending on the argument.

What voting trends have you seen that suggest a move towards democratization of the economy over privatization

It’s not new but oil profits go to their public wealth fund. That’s Socialist with a capital S.

So they voted for Socialism and could continue to vote more.

There’s a difference between private property and personal property. All food trucks don’t need to be run by government employees. Effective taxes and regulations make it state controlled.

You don’t have a choice because they all have it unless you can afford $3k for a speed queen setup or have small laundry where you don’t need a large front loader.

I bought an expensive Bosch dishwasher to avoid it but they updated the same model number to include wifi and removed physical buttons from the unit and put them in the app.

switch from in-ear to over-ear, want to plug my phone into my stereo.

It’s actually hard to buy a single dongle. They’re like 4 for $9. So you put one on everything.

For home stereo I bought a Bluetooth dongle and leave that plugged into the stereo.

So it’s not perfect, but it’s not like you can’t plug in your phone.

I was angry about headphone jacks for a long time but it’s easier to pick your battles and motion to more important things

As I already said, you plug it into the end of your headphone jack. It’s not something you carry separately.

Your headphone cable is now 1cm longer. It’s the same as if you bought headphones with a USBC cable.

You know those washing machines, refrigerators and TVs that sent gigabytes of data without your knowledge? You’ll be getting a tax bill for that.

There is no difference.

I don’t understand the complaint about a headphone jack. They make dongles for USBC to headphone. Plug it into your headphone and forget it’s there.

If you need to power at the same time, buy a dongle with a splitter.

Norway voted themselves into socialist policies. Then leftists say it’s not Socialism. But when you say it’s bad in a different argument, they are held up as an example of Socialism. If the voting continues as it has in the past it could become full socialism.

In other news 40% approve of Trump.

but tried giving a neutral review.

The issue isn’t giving it a neutral review. All reviews, if they aren’t shills, give neutral reviews.

The issue is that James May bought that car with his own money. He said it’s his daily driver which is an endorsement even though he has nitpicks.

So he literally handed money to Elon Musk and then had the audacity to say he wasn’t supporting Musk.

Clarkson hasn’t been a climate change denier since 2019. But he still says individual change is useless.

I’m dismayed by car reviewers that cover the Tesla and make a passing comment on how they don’t support Musk.

Like James May did a Tesla review saying, “I didn’t buy it to support Elon Musk.”

That’s like being a T shirt reviewer, buying a T shirt from a Hitler Youth website, and then saying, “I don’t support Nazis. I bought this T shirt to support the garment workers and graphic artists who created the T shirt.”

Except all the preorder they’ve been tooling for is for hbm ram that PCs can’t use. So even if the data center frenzy stops, it will be over a year before consumer ram is made in volume again.

Anthropic will likely do the same trick Musk did to shift his debt onto the public- They’ll get instant inclusion into the S&P500 which requires pension funds and index funds held by everyone with a 401K to buy their stock.

What game is he playing?

There’s no tailscale for Roku.
