this is only believable and credible if your country is being run as a very bad reality television show.

unfortunately the united states is the worst reality television show run by a malignant zaphod beeblebrox as the president.

oh I agree. the thing is elon has explicitly said that he doesn't want a bunch of knobs in his cars and they should only have a central control screen to run everything. even the backup shift device is a touch sensor somewhere around the rear view iirc (never driven one nor do I want to). I essence, an entire continent is telling one company explicitly that your cars are not the safest on the road no matter what you claim. that's going to be a massive hit on the company's reputation and value and it couldn't happen to a more deserving induhvidual.

sounds like europe is really sending a very loud, deafining FUCK YOU to elon and tesla.

and I am absolutely here for it.

if I still downloaded directly to my local drive, I'd use utorrent BUT only the 2.2.1 version. it's been at least 4 years since I've done that due to a lack of having a functional laptop so I've been out of downloading stuff that way for years, but even then I knew that modern utorrent was bad. I actually stopped using any new version once bittorrent bought it.

  1. iphones are the first recognized "smartphone".
  2. apple is an american company.
  3. apple has a massive fanbase that is completely dedicated to apple and all their products.

i'm not sure what the global usage of apple products is, but i think here it's probably a lot higher than in other places. throw in the fact that there's only one device capable of (legally) running apple's mobile software, and there you have it.

also, their advertising didn't hurt either. no one on the android side had the kind of advertising they did until maybe 6 or 7 years later and by that time you were probably already well established in the iphone ecosystem.

I believe this person said (and I'm not sure if I'm correct because this person was absolutely inconsolable) that one was their father's daughter and their (the daughter's) son. I will probably know more through the grapevine next week.

I work with someone who was related to two of the victims. they were absolutely inconsolable yesterday when the news got out.

especially if you don't have an iphone. I have seen so many accessories and apps that were made for use on iphones which would also be useful for android devices as well. my transplant clinic has a patient portal that has an app for iphones but nothing for android so you have to use their website.

in other words, it's a stimulus check, a thing that he can put his name on to prevent (and completely fail in doing so) the economic recession that would be caused by his stupid policies making the price of everything go up.

if I remember my geography correctly cullman county is north of jefferson county (birmingham) on I 65. I've got family from birmingham, so to me it's simply amazing that a rural white county decided to indict their white police force and recommend to completely disband it because of the corruption.

if a bunch of white people can do that with no black people involved in any way on either side, that police force must have been doing some seriously heinous shit.

she's asking for republicans of this iteration of the republican party, the one that embraces nationalism, religious bigotry, and a cult like behavior which has as a rote answer of READ THE CONSTITUTION to not only have actually read the constitution taken their paths of office seriously, and defy their cult leader.

if there was any integrity to those people at all, you wouldn't be seeing absolutely fucking stupid messaging bills like renaming dulles airport after trump, making trump's birthday a federal holiday, putting trump's face on mt. rushmore, taking over greenland and calling it red white and blue land in the house and all of trump's cabinet noms get confirmed in the senate. some of which you voted AYE for murkowski.

so take this warm mug of SHUT THE FUCK UP and go sit in the corner hypocrite.

there are a bunch of apps that I downloaded from amazon that were paid AND also were apps they were giving away for free. so what are they going to do about maintaining their functionality, because unless they do something the only other alternative that I see are on the high seas.
