This is something I kept pointing out to management at my last company, but they were always so hellbent on putting everything in the cloud. Then construction across the street cut some fiber or something going to our building. When I told management that we had no Internet and I was sending everyone home, they lost their shit. I mollified them a bit by pointing out that at least some people would be able to work from home. I then waited until the meeting the next morning to point out that only 1 QA/support person and 1 dev had laptops (because of course management didn’t see any reason to spend the extra money for laptops over desktops). It was also nice to be able to make the CEO and VP to drive all the way home and back to get their wireless data pucks they used as their personal Internet connections.
My overwhelming joy at all the petty little ways I was able to rub their bad decisions in their faces was a big part of what made me actually start hunting for a new job rather than just thinking about it.

I know that you meant this as a joke, but this is literally how online communities are built. One really dedicated nutter just keeps posting OC whether anyone else wants it or not, and slowly other people start adding stuff because it’s an active place.

So, you go right ahead and you do you.

It also can’t connect to Google home without being unlocked nor set your navigation to an address in your contacts, or as far as I can tell do anything useful at all.

Oh and I almost forgot it will also fucking block other apps from doing shit that they used to be able to do because it decided that something in your phrase is a key word.

So Detroit?

“Death” in mandarin is “Si”. “4” is also “si”, so it is considered a very unlucky number and nobody wants it in their phone number and other stuff.
“10” is “shi” which is close enough to “Si” that many people don’t like it and will avoid it.

Exactly! Thats is a perfect comparison. Even water can kill when unrestrained and unregulated.

Since they ban by ip address, that is pretty fucked up

There’s something very wrong with your water. It’s killing a lot of children.

Texas used to define the content of school textbooks for the entire country.
And the people who decided what went into those textbooks were not educators or even required to have any kind of degree. They are political appointees.

Even worse, is that textbooks are not replaced with updated content every year. So, incorrect information lingers in the textbooks for years without correction. And then those textbooks are passed down to poorer school districts for even more years of use.

It’s not even actually a truck. It’s a ute. Like the Hyundai Santa Cruz. It’s a car (unibody) with a bed.
I don’t dislike utes at all, and even have an old one I am restoring, but it is not a truck.
