American flags everywhere. Like EVERYWHERE. I get a bit of national pride but holy crap, every other house in the street is flying a flag, clothing has flag patterns, bumper sticker American flag, it's everywhere. And no, it wasn't even close to July 4.

It's like Americans are afraid they might forget what country they're in if they aren't in sight of a flag at all times.

There are also plenty of dumb, nearly inconsequential recalls on regular cars too. Including things like "place this warning sticker in your manual". That's a recall.

If you commute that much you're living in a box either way

You throwing a communist party?

Would the army even exist if it weren't for young, naive, and/or desperate folk?

It also reuses old 2G/3G bands to allow much much higher throughput and therefore more customers per band

Sounds like you just need to play an RTS game.

Oh, 75% electric now?

I just remember when they were first announced and basically none of them were electric, despite most postal routes being low speed, short distance, and frequent stops. Sounded absolutely stupid and reeked of industry kickbacks and bullshit.

Yeah, geekbench has long been known to favor iPhones. Even compared to other mobile SoCs like Qualcomm or MediaTek, it's... uh... "optimized" for what Apple chips are designed around.

Using it on a desktop for benchmarking is... Even more useless.

On top of that:

1. The single core number obviously only uses one big core, of which Apple's chip only has 2.

2. The score only reflects the maximum burst speed (it's not expected to sustain that kind of performance for more than 10 seconds. Even using both big cores simultaneously would cut that score short due to overheating.

3. Desktop cpu has 16 cores that are all identical, and is expected to sustain those workloads indefinitely. Servers and supercomputers run these things 24/7.

4. The desktop cpu is on an older node as well, inherently less power efficient.

It's a bit like saying, "for 10 seconds, I can run as fast as the world's fastest marathon runner TEAM!". Neat factoid but still incomparable.

Cutting out someone's liver to transplant isn't easy nor risk free. You are risking death to have a low probability of saving someone. It doesn't matter if they are volunteers.

That would be nice if we had an unlimited supply of livers to transplant. Give everyone a chance.

Unfortunately I'd still rather give whatever liver we have on hand to someone guaranteed not to wreck it immediately, because giving her a chance means taking away someone else's.

If China wants to pay for my next car for me, I'm fine with that.

That just makes it even easier for Wall St to enshittify whatever comes after

The problem is that the countries engaged in genocide allow the US a foothold in the middle East, so they can basically get away with anything. Losing that means throwing away all the military and strategic advantage in that region.

Tl;dr you may as well wish for a president that wants to demilitarize the US
