They don’t have to. Bikes need their own space, bus can have their own lanes which increases overall efficiency, and train lines obviously need their own space.
He is now denying the validity of dna tests. I don’t want to say the past 35 years of having him treat me worse than he treats his sister had anything to do with his assumptions of my dna, but he was upset to learn that I am more Irish than him. I wonder what he thought of my mother before these results…
I have documented ancestry of Choctaw, card and everything, but my genetic test show 0%. The blood amount is quite low at 1/128
This could be because of the way genes work, roll the dice enough time and there are no genes left. On the other hand many Native Americans are not keen on giving away genetic data after their history with the US.
I’m not saying you are or aren’t part native American, but genetic tests are limited.

Like why not test these things? This just sounds like ai generated garbage.
That being said, 8gb is an abysmally low amount of ram in 2024. I had a mid range surface in 2014 that had that much ram. And the upcharge for more is quite ridiculous too.
I know it’s pc ram but I bought 64gb of ddr4 3600mhz for like $130. How on earth is apple charging $200 for 8!!!
This is just not enough memory to make a computer last, especially since you can’t upgrade.
Websites and apps that a lot of people use just aren’t really expecting to only have 8gb ram available. Any kind of multitasking could easily run out of ram
Oh no I read the article, I just don’t consider that testing.
It’s not really apt to compare using ram on a browser on one computer and extract that to another, there’s a lot of complicated ram and cache management that happens in the background.
Testing would involve getting a 8gb ram Mac computer and running common tasks to see if you can measure poorer performance, be it lag, stutters or frame drops.
I have plenty of understanding of what virtual memory memory is. For one, virtual memory is orders of magnitude slower than physical RAM.
My point still stands, 8gb is fine if all you do is light web browsing and writing documents which is basically nothing, but at that point you don’t need a 2024 Macbook anything, you could use a older M1 Macbook and be perfectly happy.
All web browsers will use up as much ram as possible, that doesn’t mean they need it.
Even you don’t have a device with 8gb of memory, just because it’s usable doesn’t mean that’s it’s optimal, or that it’s not a ripoff to charge $200 for another 8gb.
What kind of jelly do you use for your peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?
I’m going to make the acceptable answers broad so jam, preserves, etc are all acceptable. I’m a fig jam or apple butter man myself.
