The newest ipad Air has touch id in the power/lock button on the side. I know production timelines probably made it impossible to do in reaction to COVID, but can you imagine if they had put this on iphone 12 late last year? So many

The frame weighs 3 lbs, not the whole bike. The bike weighs 16.5 lbs which is a normal lightweight bike weight. Their e-bike supposedly weighs 24 lbs.

Its a $70M effort "anchored" by $25M cash donation and $25M in hardware. I've heard anchored used to indicate an initial "getting us started" donation at the beginning of a fund raising drive. Its easier to raise

The vast majority of the criticism Rowling has received was not death or rape threats. Why do you ascribe that behavior to the entire "woke-left" (I'm assuming thats who you meant by "they"). Do you not think that
