I wonâ(TM)t start actually celebrating until they start closing locations or their leadership start getting thrown in jail.
Closing locations would just inconvenience certain customers and suck for lower paid unimportant/uncared about employees. The only one you should truly get excited over should be the higher ups.
I seem to recall this bragging years ago about how the curved screens could enable people to view and read notifications from the side when the phone is face down.
Samsung's curved screens, however, seem to do.........nothing?
(Not saying I don't dislike / hate privacy invasions, etc or data on me being sold, just something I've been wondering)
I'll see these thing say "(service) sells data for targeted ads," and people get super pissed. Aside from the invasion of privacy... Is anyone pissed about it being targeted ads? Or is it just literally the privacy issue?
This reminds me of some study done by Japan a few years ago that found there was a reduced chance / effect from sarcopenia in older males. Sounds pretty good to just enjoy coffee daily and lose less muscle as you age.
With the size I had my window, the end of the line was: "the device can fold over like a book and a pen." I was really confused as to why it could fold like a pen.
We still see stories about driverless not fully being there yet. I know this is them trying to compete with Amazon and get this out earlier, but it seems weird to be ready to go ahead and start sending driverless cars (with safety riders, I know) all around at people's orders.
Reminds me of one of the original things for the Xbox Kinect. It was going to scan your room for things to advertise about, eg: Dorito bags, Mountain Dew bottles, etc.
Laziness and being unwilling to separate is one thing. The other part feels like some people are just too stupid here to do it as well.
I work at a big call center and we have a cafeteria downstairs. They used to have labels on the various disposal bins: Trash, Recycling, composte.
All the bins were filled with the exact same stuff. No effort was made to sort by anyone (except uselessly I usually did).
Now they literally put big pictures next to all of the bins of what should go into them. They still look exactly the same on the inside though. I see people walk up, looking at the giant pictures the whole way, then just toss everything in whatever bin is closest to them.
Thirdly, beer bottles are collected, washed, and refilled. Breweries big and small can all sign up for the program, and get clean Industry Standard Bottles delivered to them. They paste on their labels, fill, and cap with custom twist-off caps, and sell to the consumer. On average, a bottle will make it through the system 10 times before it breaks or is lost.
This part reminds me of something I've always wondered in bars. It always sounds like the bartenders are throwing bottles into their bins hard enough to break them. I wonder how many would end up re-usable after that / how fast they'd break.
It always seems like they are throwing them intentionally too hard.
I seem to recall this popping up before with them originally saying no to the UK. I don't think this is "stupid dirty Americans are ruining it for the world"? Maybe "stupid dirty humans"?
I remember a guy from college who went to a Universal Unitarian church. He came back one night talking about how they had done Buddhist meditation and something else and now his karma was perfectly aligned and he felt so amazing and like everything was right, blah blah blah..... Then 1-2 hours later he was in a rage because he wanted to take a shower, and someone else was in the dorm bathroom taking a dump. (He didn't want someone else smelling up the bathroom while he was in the shower, so he was cussing and talking a lot of crap about them for this.... with his perfect karma and alignment?)
I did take Tae Kwon Do for years, and we had to meditate now and then. I mostly just recall it being helpful for sort of developing a better mind/muscle connection. More or less similar to just having good form and being aware of it when exercising though, nothing magical.
I've got a 30oz without a straw, but a closed lid with a hole to drink out of. Not the best if you have it filled to the TOP and hit a lot of bumps... but I've never had any issues driving and drinking with this. No need to even carry around packs of paper/metal/etc straws in the car like I've seen another mention on here.
I'll always remember calling 911 about a head on collision where one car was upside down, and the person inside was pinned in place by their destroyed door. The operator was yelling at me that she needed a better description of where we were, and as I was trying to figure out better landmarks (we were on a small highway) she ended up hanging up on me. SOMEHOW I called back and got the same operator. Immediately she recognized me and said something like: "WELL WHERE IS IT THIS TIME!"
The EV market is just as large as ICE car market. The writing is on the wall and ICE is on the way out.
Right now? Not at all. This may be applicable a few more years in the future, but I still see way way way more ICE vehicles and tons of people that react to electric like: "I DON'T WANT A GOLF CART. THAT'S A GLORIFIED GOLF CART." Etc.
Should make good progress in a few more years though.
I've seen several things criticizing Uber for not having PTO, benefits, etc. I've always wondered exactly how people want that treated. Do they mean that for every single person at Uber? Or does it require 30+ hours a week every week of the year? Because I know several Uber drivers just do it 1-2 days a week, sometimes they take a break, etc. How would PTO work out for someone who just does 3-6 hours a week? Benefits, etc? Would it be a situation where Uber would have to make them employees once they hit a certain requirement? And then after that, would they be required to make those hours every week unless they had PTO approved?
.
Most anyone I've known that does Uber only did it for a little extra income. I was surprised to find there were people that used it as a main source of income.

I always found the fingerprint on the back to be more comfortable and easy to use.... but having it on the side(s?) sounds possibly useful.

The dust gives some extra padding to make it more quiet!
...who are mad that the car doesn't appear next to them when they raise a staff in the air and shout gibberish.

I'm convinced that will never happen.

Please no.
I'm pretty sure if the planet is going to masquerades, it's alive. (is this Ego, the living planet?)
But I eagerly look forward to seeing something stupid about people trying to get prescribed this by claiming to be epileptic children.

Aren't they too busy planning the invasion of Canada?
From Space, duh.

I guarantee you most travelers in that kind of situation just give in and hit the sack.
Then just add one step. Hit the Alexa with your luggage!

-That, or when we turn into Mad Max world and have guitar flamethrower cars.
