Did you not read anything I wrote?

And no, that isn’t likely the path for stolen phones,especially when it’s a theft of opportunity by someone looking to feed a drug habit. They aren’t thinking about going to a fence who can give them what the phone is worth at that level of the chain.

As I said in another comment, the locks both apple and android put in years ago had a major impact on the theft of phones. It’s pointless to steal them unless it’s part of a larger operation or you’re trying to get a phone that’s unlocked so you can siphon money from someone instead of just reselling the phone.

Nicotine is harmful and no one, especially kids should be using it. Maybe you don’t know what nicotine does to the human body. If you know how it works on insects, it does the same thing to humans, especially when it’s consumed over decades. Now that it’s available in vape form, it’s even easier and way more likely to use even more and do more harm.

As for the flavors and colors. You need to educate yourself on the history of marketing tobacco and alcohol. These companies have never been marketing to adults with the candy flavors and the unicorn colors. You may not be old enough to remember wine coolers but those of us who do, remember that adults rarely drank them. Same goes for these vapes.

For the record. Afaik, thc does not have any of the same negative side effects as nicotine. You’ll live longer and healthier if you vape the “real” stuff or even the delta 8, 9,10, etc vs nicotine.

Not saying that the state should be outlawing it. Simply offering some real info and a counter to your claims of it being fun. It may be “fun” now but not so fun decades or sooner down the road when you have dementia, heart problems, etc.

Oh and I did block you because your only argument based on the comment I replied to would be, (fuck you, because, reasons). Homey don’t have time for that.

True. But the average idiot stealing a phone to feed a habit isn’t going to be able to bypass it. Of course those being stolen by order of a larger group can do it. But these locks severely reduced the number of opportunity thefts.

This isn’t the case anymore. Starting sometime back you can’t just reset android and set it up from scratch. It needs the pin and/or account that was on it prewipe. They are still likely good for parts but it’s pointless to steal newer smart phones.

One word, garmin. Garmin has its own special charger but it’s designed for ruggedneas and there are several adapters on the market that let you charge it with usbc. My 7x goes for 3+weeks with spo2 turned on and does everything else a normal smartwatch does like notifications, quick replies, music, etc.

You should look at garmin. My 7x goes for weeks with all data collection on and the screen is clear enough to see without the back light when there is enough ambient light.

Unless I am recording tons of workouts, I don’t have to charge the battery but every few weeks. I sometimes plug it in when I take a shower so I don’t have to worry about it.

That’s just the beginning. Other artists have tried to avoid livenation venues but when the artist finds a venue, livenation just goes and buys said venue. That shit right there should have been taken to court.

Funny how these legal actions against companies like this only happen under democratic presidents.

When it goes up you can usually transfer to another provider for a decent discount. I recently did this with one of my domains when godaddy went nuts on a renewal for a domain I’ve had for like 10+ years at this point.

Your point wasn’t wrong. It simply wasn’t what the article was about.

Sounds like you didn’t read the article either.

What content did they link that you have a problem with? It’s not the OP that linked that encyclopedia link that I won’t click on.

Not likely. A violation of any NDA that may have been signed, sure, but not illegal. They could definitely be sued but not prosecuted.

Nice rant.

You should try reading the article. These aren’t cheap copies they are talking about.

The street fighter?

I thought this fud had been debunked.

Are you accounting for the energy used to extract the oil, the energy used to transport it to a refinery, the energy used to refine it, the energy used to transport it to the gas station and then the energy used to pump into your car?

There is no way that the carbon needed to create a battery is more over the decades of life for said battery along with the renewable used to charge it, than the ongoing carbon released to keep ice engines running.

There is also a move to power battery facilities with renewables and when we reach a point where batteries are being recycled it gets even better.

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. We have to move past ice engines and right now ev is our best option.

I’d watch this reboot.

Setting aside the private ownership of land (I don’t think we would differ as much as you think).

No there is no difference. The issue here is you focusing on the volcano part. It’s a land mass like any other. The article didn’t go into history of ownership but it’s possible that it was passed down and likely from before the USA was a thing and well before Hawaii was part of the USA.

I can guess without looking that if I did a search for privately owned mountains I would find more than a few. Same goes for the aforementioned private islands that can be bought by anyone with enough cash/credit.

What about people owning lakes? If I took an acre of my land (yes, we are buying 3+acres) and turned it into a lake, would that seem odd to you? Would you want me to open my land up to anyone who wanted to visit, fish, etc? Or would that not be as absurd?

Do yourself a favor and ignore the volcano part, it will make much more sense.

How is that absurd? It’s a landmass, people own land including entire islands. Inheriting a mass with a volcano on it doesn’t seem any different from inheriting a farm.

That was a general answer. As others have said it breaks the motors in the camera and can do other damage. This isn’t an apple thing, damage is done to any phones used with a motorcycle and from what I’ve heard the vibration dampening mounts don’t eliminate the problem completely.

The vibrations fuck with the phone.
