It uses Wi-Fi and has sms fallback and works with iMessage

I would go back to android if they had iMessage. That’s really what’s keeping me on iPhone.

Better fire management of national parks. Time to start doing controlled burns.

But why

This is dumb as rocks

The most charitable interpretation is “well crocodiles didn’t change in the last 100 million years but birds did so that means maybe crocs are closer since birds evolved to get farther away”

That’s dumb because both birds and crocodiles have been changing the whole time. Just because crocs look more similar to their fossils, doesn’t mean they haven’t been evolving/drifting/etc.

Same thing any time someone talks about “sharks haven’t changed”. It’s dumb.

This is some dunning Kruger shit.

Other countries have capitalism and they have transit.

In my country there was like 10 wonderful years when almost nobody smoked.

In the last 5-10 years all that got reversed by vaping, it’s everywhere now. Not as bad as smoking though.

I want to buy an old police cruiser (crown Vic) and chop it up into a rally car, and do the gambler 500.

Why do they think it’s necessary to fill every area with music

It should be ok for places to be quiet. If employees want music they should wear headphones. That way they could listen to what they want too.

K selection be like that

What’s the deal with Asia

Passenger safety features have become very expensive and make cars less maintainable and therefore more wasteful. Backup cameras and parking sensors and merging sensors/indicators.

Loosen passenger safety regulations while they’re at it. It’s become insane. Cars are safe enough for occupants, and have been for two decades at least.

Meanwhile, maybe we can make pedestrian safety more of a priority.

If my country was at war with another, of course I’d be afraid of their supporters

If I was Israeli I may be afraid of someone wearing a Palestinian flag tshirt. Also the other way around. Seems reasonable.

Similar experience. The food was amazing, the louvre and notre damme were crowded, musee dorsay was great, streets were gross and grifters everywhere.

Then I went to Kyoto. It was everything Paris is supposed to be. Absolutely amazing place. Incredible French food actually, wasn’t expecting that.

No they won’t. Many many parts are shared with accords, there are so many parts in junkyards it’s insane. The engines are still being made too.

A 1999 Honda crv can be made to run forever

But when there’s only one lane on a mountain road and someone is going slow because they are scared of the mountains or scared of a tunnel for some reason…. Like dude pull over and let people pass

Use the water pressure to power a turbine generator, then use the electricity from that generator to run a window AC unit
