Dental yeah, vision is just a scam. There are also "life insurance" plans that are basically tax-advantage investment/inheritance funds if you have like $50M+.

Lexus and Acura are the only luxury brands that are actually reliable, though they're not exactly luxury.

And nobody is selling a new Toyota for a non-expensive price. The cheapest new cars are brands without reputations.

I don't even think the cheap used cars are a more expensive way to live on average. If you get unlucky or scammed, sure.

Poor people can't afford a new $13K car. EVs also make less sense if you live in an apartment.

Yep. Which is also why I find vision insurance ridiculous. No it doesn't cover me going blind, it covers a pair of glasses at best, more like 25% of one.

It's higher in Los Angeles. And I don't know if they have licenses. What I've heard is if they get in an accident and can't drive away, they run away on foot and report the car stolen. And I guess they don't get pul

It's not fun or bragging-worthy or anything. The "haha the driver door doesn't open" bits are very different from getting stranded in random places. The only good experience is if you manage to fix it for cheap.

Having more wealth if anything has had me buy less insurance. My newer car is liability only. Worst case if it blows up, I can afford a cheap replacement that I've already more than saved up for by not paying full coverage. Also, that

I have one piece of junk and one newer (ie 2012) car, so I get to experience the difference every week. Except, the driver side window doesn't work in either car. Wish power windows weren't invented.

Supposedly about 20% of drivers in El Paso are uninsured, so yes?

Thermostats normally use 0.5˚C increments because people can feel the difference. Then they disable the decimals when in F mode. 50˚C is the highest temperature that regularly occurs in the hottest place I can think of, Death Valley. The po

The goal wasn't regime change. They didn't even propose a replacement, unlike Venezuela where there was someone to step in. Trump admitted it was Israel's demand, plus there are signs of market manipulation. Some Iranian-Amer

Not even many MAGA supporters were in favor of war with Iran. Bots on Twitter, sure.

I remember hearing from leftwing media how Kurdish fighters are feminists and LGBT-friendly. Look I have nothing for or against them, but lol.

Plenty of mid-right-wing voters like myself just don't like that US politicians are displaying foreign loyalty, regardless of what country it is. It started with Kissinger. I'm not even going to call Israel's wars unjustified

There are a lot of things that a party does opposite to its messaging, in some cases shared by both parties.

It'll last exactly as long as the Republicans being in power, which could be longer than this administration.

They're good analogies. It's possible to keep a Jenga tower going forever, just extremely difficult once it reaches the point of being all middle pieces.

I remember there being a lot of hijacked CocoaPods more recently than that Xcode attack. But supposedly Swift Package Manager is actually replacing CocoaPods now, which tbh I didn't even know until now because I've been out of tha

It's not exactly Israel being blamed. The government of Israel doesn't fund or operate AIPAC, and the Adelsons aren't Israeli officials.

That's so 2009. What we need is mercenary Tinder.

If this is real, the interesting part is this Adelalhasanii user who amplified it. Seems like a Yemini who's supportive of the Houthis.

What was the claimed advantage of react-native aside from ease of use?

Do you even escape dependency hell this way?

Pretty well from an engineering perspective. But they've lost so many advertisers because it's intentionally not very moderated.

Yep. First time I "wrote" a native iPhone or Mac app in about 9 years was recently. I've written plenty of C, C++, Rust, etc code but always found Swift and ObjC to be uniquely bad, and Apple's UI frameworks and tooling

Ok, those are truly closed loop. As in, they use ambient cooling or active chillers. I've seen too many cooling tower sites described as closed-loop because the internal system is.
