Yesterday we were shopping at Target and in the frozen aisle they had a sign for the Favorite Day ice cream sandwiches, “Everyday low price $4.99”.
The price on the shelf label, $4.69. Whoops!

If they would have spent the same amount of money
They did spend the same because they were getting the deal phones from their provider. You’ll have to bear in mind this switch was about 10 years ago.
I think what you’re saying contributes to why this Android/Apple discussion is still going on.
The level of Android device varies based on cost affecting the experience. If you buy an Apple you don’t have that issue because all their devices run relatively the same and are expensive. They don’t have a “cheap” option.
Oh the irony of the article being about Cheeto’s dictator comment and the user you’re replying to being upset Biden isn’t behaving like a dictator.
because having access to iMessage - and now right-colored bubbles - is a big part of why Americans go Apple to begin with.
Do you have something supporting this? I was the only iPhone user in my family years ago, now everyone in my family has one. They switched because their Androids were slow, buggy and had issues. Over time they decided to try iPhones and now their perception of iPhone is that it just works better and smoother than Android.
I think some go Apple for status, but still others go with it because they’ve personally had a better experience. For older people there’s probably also an element of support from their younger family. If their kids, grandkids etc. have iPhones then they can get help from them because they’re familiar with the device.
I use an iPhone and many other Apple products because I work in IT. I get tired of troubleshooting other people’s tech issues and I can come home and my Apple stuff all just works. I don’t think it’s the best, I actually have a Windows gaming computer and an Ubuntu box as a home server but the Apple ecosystem works well together and means I’m not still wearing my IT hat at home all the time.
The teen bullying is a social problem but it’s not that different than Starter jackets when I was in elementary school, branded sports apparel (particularly Nike) when I was in middle school, and having a pager when I was in high school.
I don’t really care what color the bubbles are when I send messages, as long as the go through.
I totally agree and understand the use case. That plays into that more in depth type of self hosting most here do. All I have is storage via Synology, and Pi-hole, smart home controls and a media server in separate containers.
My use case is strictly QoL improvements that my wife would either just live without or switch to a more conventional, easy to use setup for her.
I don’t self host to the extent many here seem too but I have had the same thought and joked with my wife about it.
Ultimately everything I’ve setup I’ve done in part because it’s my hobby and it interests me. When I’m gone my family will revert to whatever they’d normally be doing without me, because they don’t have interest in it like I do.
DARE is not a good example to hold up because the program doesn’t work.
Edit: to clarify, DARE has always been flawed and ineffective. There was a study in 1994 that showed this yet it didn’t stop or change the program.
Bingo! I can’t believe I have to defend sharing my positive, limited, anecdotal experience with Guyanese people and culture.
What is your comment supposed to mean?
It’s supposed to mean I can’t speak for the country or all the Guyanese people based on my limited, anecdotal experience with one family.
I’m not informed on the regional geopolitics, I’ve never been there. Hell, I had to look up the appropriate demonym because I couldn’t remember if it was Guyanese or Guyanan.
It makes me sad to see this and think that people who were so nice and exposed me to Guyanese culture, a country I hadn’t even known existed and would have guessed was in South Asia, might see their cultural home attacked.
It’s supposed to mean I don’t know what I don’t know and I’m not comfortable making assumptions or inferences when I’m not informed.
Seems like that’s not a problem you have.
We had three families in our neighborhood, all related, that the parents/grandparents were from Guyana and the kids were born here.
I can’t speak for the country but those people were awesome! Super friendly, nice, hard working but most of all happy to share and explain their culture.
I’m always reminded of finding and playing the midi files from the game music on my 486 as background music.
Apogee Software for Rise of the Triad, Blue Sky Productions for Última Underworld and Bullfrog Productions for Syndicate.
I did, although I think you did it better. I kept thinking of that quote about unlimited tolerance from Popper and I think you summed it up nicely.
Either everyone gets equal representation or nobody does
I both fixed your point and highlighted how you’re wrong. Representation for LGBT+, as well as ethnic and racial minority groups is not equal in the US.
Symbols like pride flags give those groups an opportunity to have representation where they normally wouldn’t.
We don’t live in an ideal world, we live in the real world. Come join us in supporting people oppressed by Mr. Feldman and those like him.
Did they name their dog after liquor?
Maybe they adopted the dog with that name.
Maybe it’s named after W. Louis Hennessy, an American jurist who serves as judge in the District Court for Charles County, Maryland.
Maybe it’s named after the NY Jets long snapper.
Maybe your preconceptions and biases speak more about you than the people in the story.
Be better.
Well, like I said, I’m probably and outlier, but they still sell a newer version of both my old compact sedan and my current SUV.
That said, the current mid size pickups are more equivalent to a full size from 10-20 years ago and the continuing SUV lines are getting bigger for some reason as years go by.
We just replaced my wife’s old mid SUV from 2017 for a 2024 and the 2024 is more equivalent in size to the model one size up in 2017.
I wonder what the criteria for SUV is for these studies?
I’m probably an outlier but I switched from a compact sedan to a compact SUV that’s 10 inches shorter in length, 4 inches higher in height, and 1 inch wider than my old car. They are about the same in weight, within a couple hundred pounds, and the new car is about 80g/km lower in emissions.
I technically own an SUV but it’s not super different from a hatchback car.
I don’t think stainless steal seasons. Maybe you’re thinking of carbon steel?
Stainless is great to cook with but you have to wait for the pans to come to temp before adding food
Allowed is probably a better choice. I know it’s a synonym but it’s simpler terminology. Permissible often gives the impression of permission given, even though no permission is given.
