Now, now, they didn’t prove it’s a scam. They just proved it would be cheaper and potentially safer to take out an illegal, maybe mafia backed payday loan to outright buy the equivalent computer. And you’d own the machine at the end of the day

Yeah but doesn’t adding the extra flex cable to make it more frustrating to disassemble seem like just the sort of thing Apple would do to discourage user modifications? Apple doesn’t like the kind of users who know how to tinker with and upgrade computers
If it was meant in a “lay off me” or “get off my back” way, I think “stop busting my balls” would be an accurate translation
Could that be translated more colloquially to “stop busting my balls”?
In contrast to the rest of the commenters, I don’t think so. I’ve got the Z Flip 5, and the battery life isn’t great, after a year of use, the hinge is a little looser than I’d like, and the phone is just slightly narrower than the last couple phones I’ve owned, which means I’ve somehow not managed to adjust to the keyboard size after a year, and my typing accuracy is awful.
a consumer may easily misunderstand the consequences of canceling and it may be imperative that they learn about better options
See, if it’s easy to cancel, then a consumer can leave your service, try something else, and then cancel that and come back if they don’t like the alternative.
Also, imperative for who? Your bottom line?
A screw, bolt, nut, etc. that could feasibly have come from the car itself
So by implication, the more prominent leaders of the Taliban don’t have souls? I suppose that tracks?
That’s because it’s the easy way out for those studios. Can’t design the macguffins so they’re interesting to find no sir. They’ve got to be well hidden, but that makes it too difficult for the player and we can’t have that! Better implement the Macguffin Highlighter Pulse™ to lead them right to it!
To add on, most of us are probably used to seeing American Nimitz- and *Ford-*class carriers, which have flight decks covering approx. 4.5 and 5 acres respectively, while the Liaoning only has about 3.5 acres, and loses a lot of that real estate to the ski jump. American carriers tend to be built with extra parking spaces for aircraft on the deck, partially to get more bang for our buck, but also because you can park planes on a CATOBAR deck without much difficulty.
In addition, Nimitz- and *Ford-*class carriers each carry approx. 90 aircraft of various types, compared to the Liaoning’s 45 or so.
The bottom line is American carriers tend to keep aircraft on deck while sailing around, because they carry so many of them and have more space on the deck for parking, while the Liaoning likely has enough hangar bay space for her much smaller complement of aircraft.
Was at a brewery last night where the “bathroom” was a row of sinks, and then a row of doors labeled “sit” or “stand”. The commode cubicles were full length walls and doors, totally private, and this just makes so much more sense to me
Depends on the phase of construction. The pressure hull will be fully complete before being floated for the first time, with most (if not all) systems installed. But there still may be operational testing, training, etc. going on that is part of the construction process. Those types of things can take place waterborne (and in some cases are required to), which frees up space for construction of the next hull to begin.
I see where you’re coming from on it being AI generated, but I think it’s actually the wings and canards from a second plane perfectly behind the front one. If you look closely, you can see the nose as well.
The actual quantity of radioactive waste generated is tiny, and even combining the storage space for waste products with the footprint of the reactor plant itself, nuclear is by far the most energy-dense and space-efficient form of power generation we have.
Baseball cap at a baseball game over the weekend, or a hard hat at work last night, depending if you count that as a hat
If you are in an industry where an emergency at 2 am cannot wait until 0900 (or whenever shift starts in the morning), fucking pay a swing shift to be there. Or fairly compensate your employees for calls off the clock. Either way, stop expecting free labor from your employees. And if your business can’t afford to exist without fairly compensating those who work for it, then your business should not exist.
I think the meaning is that the Lemmy.ml fascists aren’t actually communist.
I’m waiting for a condition of the bailout to be separating Boeing Defense from Boeing Aerospace, so the aerospace side can fail
That is correct. The ratio is nanograms of substance to kilograms of bodyweight
As someone who has basically come to see “memecoin” and “scam” as synonyms, I have a hard time having any sympathy for anyone who puts money into this shit. Everyone knows that the endgame of every memecoin is for the creator to walk away with all the profit, right? Enough incidental people win a bit of money to keep everyone gambling that they can beat the scam, but everyone has to know that they’re feeding the scam when they buy in, right?
