Do I you have post or comment examples?

I just did some searches that were filtered to the past 24 hours, and I’m only really seeing positively upvoted stuff about priests who were arrested.

Aurora Borealis!? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country?

I get it if you’re doing photo editing on an iPad. That stuff is still a CPU hog.

That said, the M3 is on an end-of-life manufacturing process, and now that these things are getting updated every 2 years, it just makes sense to put the M3’s successor in this thing. A Pro M2 is going to stick out like a sore thumb in 2 years, and the M3s are going to start to disappear from the line up soon.

In the music biz, people get mad at the broke artist who decides to make a buck from licensing their shit to a corporation. In the quilting biz, people get mad at the corporation for approaching the artist in the first place.

Maybe I scanned that article too quickly. Did they say how much money the 5 artists agreed upon for the collab, or how much profit Target made from it?

I’m a professional product designer and I have worked with Target. Target has been one of the better companies I have worked with. That said, I’d have to see the numbers to make a call on whether or not I thought they got a fair shake in the licensing deal that they agreed to.

As for the history element, I’m on the fence. On one hand, the cheaper manufacturing and blander colors are not representative of the original work. On the other hand, they take inspiration from the original work, are getting more people to look into the quilting movement, and they will probably generate increased demand for the originals.

This reminds me a lot of when a big studio pushes a musical act that is a more commercial version of something that’s in an indie scene. On one hand, the people from the indie scene get super pissed at the blander, more commercial, act. On the other hand, more people usually start to dig into the music scene that inspired the commercial act. And indie acts from the original scene finally start making a buck and getting noticed more.

I wonder if the kid saw the shit show on social media, bucked the Trump trend, and decided to stay the fuck out of the clown show.

And lots and lots of government subsidies.

If anyone is curious about the “states rights” that the south went to war over, please read the declarations of causes given when they seceded.

battlefields.org/…/declaration-causes-seceding-st…

They all say they want slaves, and they all say it right at the top.

Example: Mississippi, sentence two:

Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun

We don’t how to guess about what their reasons for secession were. They told us, in writing.

Damn. I was interested in the Volvo ex30

Ghostalmedia, 14 days ago

100% agree. They really stripped that car down in order to make it work with a 27% import tax from China. Few physical buttons, a soundbar instead of door speakers, etc. There are a number of quirky design

Android Automotive (not to be confused with Android Auto) is the only thing that makes me think I could make it work. More specifically, Google Assistant control for HVAC, defrost, etc.

One of the things that drives me nuts about Telsa is that the buttons are missing, and the voice control is shit in comparison to Assistant and even janky ’ol Siri.

Yeah, reviewers seem to like the sound bar and think it sounds better than what Volvo Polestar have done in the past.

Seems like a solution that other manufacturers should adopt. It can bring the sticker price down and can sound better in many use cases. Although it might come at the expense of diminished audio for rear passenger.

Cartoons have correctly taught me to never trust a white guy in a plaid suit with gradient sunglasses. That guy is always a sleaze ball.
