I have zero sympathy for Cybertruck buyer's remorse. Its shortcomings have been more than adequately covered in the media and besides, just look at it.
So it's just a single app running on a minimal Android implementation, the AI is done on remote servers and it still gets lousy battery life? Sounds like they dropped the ball on design. Nevertheless, no one is going to carry this that doesn't already have a phone that can do everything the Rabbit does. It has no reason to exist.
Canadian photographer Francois Brunelle spent 12 years tracking down real life Doppelgängers — two individuals who are not related but could pass for identical twins — and photographing them. He calls his project “I’m Not a Look-Alike,” and it’s starting to get some well-deserved attention....
Makes you wonder how many people got jailed for a crime they didn't commit before the widespread use of fingerprints and DNA just because they resembled someone else.
I have a closely cropped beard. I grew it in the pandemic just to see if I could. It didn't look too bad and my wife didn't object so I kept it. Beats shaving every day.
Both my parents smoked so I didn't notice it growing up. Once I went to college and got away from that environment I really started to notice it all around me. Nothing was worse than opening up the closet and smelling the smoke on the coat you wore the night before at a bar. Luckily, my county was an early adopter of non-smoking sections and eventually outright banning and that changed everything.
I'm on the Boomer/Gen X border. I'm still working because I want to but in a different career (college professor) than before, one with less stress and a lower salary. I have plenty of hobbies but don't derive the same satisfaction from them as I do from work. I just don't expect that to be the case forever, though.
