It’s only ambiguous because there’s a second standard.

Android Automotive, not to be confused with the entirely separate and unrelated Android Auto.

I had a problem with some software I was using a few weeks back. I googled the error and the one result was a closed GitHub issue matching it exactly.

The sole reply just said that the poster should stop being lazy because the problem has been discussed in other issue reports.

Except that was the very first issue created for that repository.

My TV came with a five year warranty - two year manufacturer, two years Costco, and one year from my Costco credit card.

My washer and dryer got seven. Same deal, but Costco was offering an extra extended warranty plan for free.

The best part is that they design their warranties to run consecutively instead of concurrently. Unfortunately, Citi got rid of the extended warranty with the Costco credit cards about a year and a half ago.

We’re not exactly more than a couple steps away from the SCOTUS saying that if you can’t prosecute official acts, then ipso facto it must also extend to those enforcing the acts.

I’m all for American versions of things, but please get these staples of British cuisine right.

Kind of ironic this is where you’re making a stand.

The first known use of the recipe for pig in a blanket, the American cuisine, was in 1940 by the US military.

The first known use of the recipe for pigs in blankets, the British cuisine, was in 1957 and was inspired by British soldiers who tried the American version during WWII.

You might want to re-read the article. That quote was talking about lithium ion batteries.

This scarcity, combined with the surge in demand for the lithium-ion batteries for laptops, phones and EVs, have sent prices skyrocketing, putting the needed batteries further out of reach.

Lithium deposits are also concentrated. The “Lithium Triangle” of Chile, Argentina and Bolivia holds more than 75% of the world’s lithium supply, with other deposits in Australia, North Carolina and Nevada. This benefits some nations over others in the decarbonization needed to fight climate change.

“Global action requires working together to access critically important materials,” Meng said.

That’s the only reason I bought a modern car.

My parents would always buy cheap beaters. They had a car from the 90s they only recently got rid of because the transmission was shot. My first car was an '05 Caravan I drove for almost two years and got rid of in 2018.

I swallowed the pill after seeing cars get absolutely crushed to the point where the jaws of life were necessary yet passengers could just walk out.

I remember someone posted a picture of their brand new sedan. It was involved in a serious accident and sandwiched between two large pickup trucks. The entire car was squished down until it was smaller than the passenger compartment. The driver was able to walk away with minor injuries and the paramedics weren’t even surprised.

I don’t give a shit about the fancy features. I just want something that is reliable and safe.

Huh, I was going to comment something about how the global top 1% has a lower threshold than that, but it really doesn’t. $1M of wealth would put you in the top 0.7%.

And apparently the top 0.7% hold 45.9% of global wealth. The top 30% hold 97% of wealth.

Call screening is honestly one of the best features to ever come to a phone. I really wish this could be added to every handset.
