What matters is if everyone else has the will and ability to keep bad people in check and hold them accountable.

Well said.

The grifters in charge need no other motivation than a sense of superiority and an opportunity to make a buck.

That’s why corruption is an issue in every political system that we’ve tried, that contains more than a few thousand people.
Always seems like the people who want to be in power, shouldn’t be…and those that should want nothing to do with it…

I think I heard something about easing trade barriers between Ontario and I think it was either Saskatchewan or Manitoba.

I feel this. I would love to see Russia, China and India…but there’s not a chance that I would knowingly give my money to those regimes. Not even through participating in their economy for half a week.

30+ years!

…fuck off, '94 wasn’t 30… counts on fingers several times

…Shit…

Why would the actively make search worse to try and drive engagement time?

American kept the worst bits of British culture when they broke up, but they’re still really good pals and feel like they should trade ideas back and forth all the time. Hope that the Cheeto pulling a Fascist coup puts a bit of separation between them.

Never stops being true.

I think the disappointment probably came about 5 minutes after unboxing, and news of the shut down would be more relief than disappointment

I’ve got the Honor Magic V3, it’s the 2 panel version of the OP device. I’ve had it for 6 months now, no complaints so far. I’m a stone mason, loooooots of super fine dusts of varying degrees of caustic. I got a slightly more robust case than what came with it, and I’m a bit more careful about what pocket I keep it in. I’ve dropped it over a dozen times, and mangled the hinge on one case already. But like you, I’ve had regular phones start failing around now, and this one is still fine. I feel like the first and 2nd gen foldables were where most of the kinks were worked out, and now they’re only slightly more delicate in very specific ways compared to a regular slab phone.

Americans would still get confused. Refer to ⅓lb>¼lb burger, flopped because Muricans claim weird fraction math for length is superior…yet still cannot fraction their way out a wet paper bag…

I’m feeling like buying a decommissioned ambulance would be about the same as getting a used transit, with all the electrics installed already, including batteries, and only need to do the inverter and panels. Almost no faffing about with installing storage, maybe just a flam vault and a lockbox for the really expensive stuff. Almost all of them have 1-3 seats already in the back, so seating for the crew is sorted. Most good condition ones I’ve seen are £5k at 110k-170k miles.

Uuuuuuugh… fuuuuuuuck. Guess I’ll have to eh?

It’s so cute!

I know right? There’s no where near enough Doritos dust on those fingers!

Sure, that’s what drugs are for. Why stop existing forever when you can stop existing for short periods of time from the comfort of your couch?

Is there an eject button on this hell ride?

Yep. Don’t do it though. No way to make things better if you check out early.
