I was sick, so I could tolerate the presentation which had high-end effects.

A UAV flys through the desert over the Apple building into the center garden, it approaches Tim Cook standing on à lawn. He starts speaking in his mechanical ceo way. A lot more effects like this.

The watch

  • new processor with cores dedicated to ml. Monitoring your bio markers for finger traps and other gestures. It also processes voice commands so you don't need to be tethered to the internet to figure out what your saying.
  • a fear based marketing, the presentation opens with shiny people who have been assisted by the watches bio monitoring. Heart attack, hypothermia, car accident, etc. Apple watch is always watching you.
  • 18 hrs battery life, so you have to remove it to charge it everyday. So while your sleeping? But put it back on before you wake up so you can snooze by tapping your fingers together. Also if you're likely to have a heart attack at night, wear the watch so it can wake you up.
  • satellite emergency SOS, and road side assist. USA only
  • carbon neutral. Recycled metals,...
  • features you will use everyday (repeat 15x)
  • pro version

The phone

  • recycled metal, carbon neutral, cute scene presenting Apples eco foot print to mother nature played by Octavia Spencer
  • cameras
  • something something USB3, no mention of external displays or using with dock to use as computer
  • easily replaceable back glass
  • a design that makes it easier to repair
  • pro version in titanium

MacBook

  • MacBook Air 15

An impressive presentation. Engineering is amazing. Still, your locked into their walled garden. And they can keep you juiced with dopamine as long as you give them money.

My bad, sorry. Dreamhost.com

Not GoDaddy.

Other than that, go by price and reputation. The DNS service can be replaced pretty quickly for free if their DNS service is a problem. I usually register on DreamHist.com. Then use the free DNS service on CloudFlare.com

Yes those problems do exist, and considering the conservatives position on these matters, we have work to do.

But I'm happy with our immigration policies, improvements are needed for sure.

I think racism is an issue, and there are many great examples of how as a country we rise above it.

Lack of compassion is a significant problem for sure, the drug addled population are losing the fight against addiction.
The indigenous nations have been treated poorly for sure. That is our nations shame.

But I believe passionately that being a woman, minority, or a transgendered person, Canada is the safest country and there are plenty of opportunities to thrive. And that goes for the rest of us cis-gendered, anglo-caucasians as well.

More like disappointed. These are the same people that claim the liberal policies are divisive and creating an us vs them environment in Canada.

Whereas, the majority in Canada care deeply about social policies like healthcare, access to education, the harm of religious ideology, access to housing, the environment, the CBC, pot, policing, and the list goes on, and not necessarily in this order.

Shocked that people lack compassion for Canadians, especially if they are disadvantaged.

Outraged at the hypocrisy of it all.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diversity_(business)

Diversity is believed to bring substantial benefits such as better decision making and improved problem solving,[11] greater creativity and innovation, which leads to enhanced product development, and more successful marketing to different types of customers.[7][12] Diversity is also claimed to enhance organizations' abilities to compete in global markets.[13] Simply recognizing diversity in a corporation helps link the variety of talents within the organization.

They voted for body autonomy to discontinue all mask mandates, but then vote to ban body autonomy for children, even with their parents and doctors consent.

Good for nothing Hippocrates.

If the CPC gets in power they will erode women's rights as a priority over climate change and homelessness.

They will bring back banned weapons as a priority to the drug and mental health care crisis.

They will erode education as a priority to food and access to affordable housing.

Rednecks will vote for cool Millhouse to own the Libs and defend their 1st and 2nd amendment rights.

Idiocracy had come home to roost.

I loved this vibe in the 90s. I wish they created more James like that. Last I heard of Edie was collaborations with Steve Martin's blue grass band. Too cool

If they don't find you handsome, at least they'll find you handy.

Time to switch to a true operating system.

Wow! Donations to children of Uganda was about 68k in 2018, and 78k in 2019. That's awesome. I guess this is a good time as any to donate.
