First person to post identical twins showing off their iPhones Duo wins!

You ever look at a cantilevered building, maybe its second story is larger than ground level, with doubt about its structural stability?

They exist, I don’t see them often however

Oh, so Lex has done a bit of legwork on this.

Thing is we hear about the war without knowing the outcome of the battles. These intrusions of competition may be rather benign. And people will still want to buy, or subscribe to a service via Apples App Stores, even paying the premium for perceived value added.

About an ounce of potato chips is all I need, as a side. The only way to get one ounce bags is to buy a variety box of 18 bags of six flavors. Which is still more than I want by itself or with a sandwich.

So I use them with soup and chili, instead of crackers.

So has Epic successfully opened their own App Store on iOS in any region?

What is it like?

Fortnight app and in game baubles? Other Epic Games in iOS? Or?

I wish I had my old graphics art rulers that could determine font size.

Because I am increasingly unable to read smaller type, I’d like to know my friendly range.

I cannot put a date to these things and places themselves disappear. Knowing when helps you find out when and where. There can be a quiz later, such as medical visits.

I often end up using movie and music release dates as clues as to when SOMETHING happened

You may not have a nostalgic bone in your body, and a Don't Look Back attitude, but I'd like to suggest the habit of at least minimal journaling to young people as the decades rack up.

Vacations flights places you've lived Jobs you've held, doctors, hospitalizations weddings funerals parties concerts. Restaurants. Conventions. Jot it down.

Save yearbooks, student directories, major city yellow pages 2x a decade where you shop and eat. Small monthly quarterly yearly recaps.

I’m sorry but everytime I read of a solution for all the plastic and microplastic in our environment being eaten by a microbe, I can’t help but think of Crichton’s Andromeda strain, where most of the plastic being eaten was vitally useful.

A story that should be in the back of anyone’s mind of anyone expecting a biological solution.

The world is rife with examples of invasive species that were initially brought in to solve a problem, or simply looked attractive.

I have seen these sporadically, and like the 33&1/3 series reviewing albums, they have been slow to catch on, and right up my alley.

Interviews have always been the type of reading I soak right up.
But have I read one? Sadly no.

Usually these niche concepts seem best supported by indie bookstores with booksellers who believe in the concept enough to make it visible and available.

TIL BIS is a thing.

For those who have never read or seen discussion of such megastructure space habitats outside of the occasional science fiction film or novel, the Avalon orbital settlement is one of the many concepts
seriously explored over the past 90 years by the BIS, British Interplanetary Society

It was the space program 20-30 years before there was a space program. They support themselves via the sales of their papers and studies.

It is important when these stories from this angle rarely surface that people realize indeed what one is seeing in much of these modern deportations is at its base a seizure of real estate.

Follow the trail of what happens to these people’s homes, who profits from the real estate changing hands.

This survey could skew strongly with age demographics.

Did you grow up or frequently visit a home with a smoker?

Did you take up smoking tobacco yourself?

Oh that’s okay, I asked Googles AI search. It summarized those that gave been tracking such.

I am still concerned charger costs could rise for arbitrary reasons of their owners wanting more profits, rather than actual costs, however. #EV

I am for electric vehicles, but range and ubiquity of available charging still hold me in the internal combustion world.

But a fear I have always had is that if there is any new evonomy to going electric, environmental issues aside, it would be taken unfair advantage of at charging stations, prices rising to what market will bear, for sake of higher profits.

Has anyone seen charging rates RISE as if following fossil fuel price fluctuations ?

From the color and segments of the pie chart, obviously the incredible Hulk forgot where he placed Ben Grimm

It’s a bit weird when you catch a major news event simply because you woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t sleep.

And most of the comments mention how surprising it was to wake up to this news.

Uncertain if “post unavailable” is an intentional gag or an accident.

48° C is ~ 120° F. It is summer there now, but it is the equivalent latitude, close to the South Pole, as New Jersey is to the North Pole.

Does New Jersey have 130° F temperatures often?

Do you, or someone you know, pull duty at a fast food takeout window?

What percentage of drive ups do you reckon actually ‘use the app?’
