FAKE the shutdown.

Hardly believable.

Ah yes, the eternal struggle: how can the average American possibly survive in a world where their car doesn't magically refill in 3 seconds while they throw a Big Gulp in the trash?

Let’s unpack the apocalypse. No one can charge at home? Except for the 70% of U.S. households that can. No charging at work? Odd, because major employers and parking structures have been installing them for years, but I guess you only park at 7-Eleven. And no charging at grocery stores? I must’ve hallucinated the 15 chargers outside every Target and Whole Foods in the country.

Yes, batteries lose range in cold. So do humans, gas cars, and your motivation. Range loss is around 15-25%—not the death of civilization. You know what else needed infrastructure? Roads. Electricity. Toilets.

You're not living in reality, you're just nostalgic for leaded gas and the sweet hum of a carburetor at idle. Transition takes time. Whining that it’s not done yet isn't insight, it’s just whining.

"Of course the world needs social networks. We are social animals and will seek out communication with others of our species. There is nothing inherently wrong with facilitating that in a healthy way."

Social Networks are NOT healthy, that's kinda the point.

So we can no longer easily copy the link for other purposes.

For some reason, it 'believes' that people want to have em dashes instead of commas in their text, no matter how many dozen times you tell it to stop that, the summary has 4 of them.

I read about the original article somewhere, the only thing people can see is a IR light showing numbers radiating directly at them, that's about it.

If Apple moved iPhone production entirely to the United States, the cost per unit could rise significantly. Analysts estimate that a U.S.-manufactured iPhone could retail for approximately $3,500. That’s a large increase from the current starting price of around $999 for models like the iPhone 16 Pro.

Why the cost would increase:

Labor costs in the U.S. are much higher than in China or India.

Apple’s supply chain is optimized for overseas production. Rebuilding it in the U.S. would take years and require massive investment.

Many components are made abroad. Sourcing or importing them would drive up costs.

New manufacturing facilities would cost billions.

Analysts say it would take 5 to 10 years to fully relocate production.

Apple is instead expanding production in countries like India and Vietnam to reduce dependency on China.

So they can better be seen.

or just another gimmick?

No, they will rename themselves as a tiny legal hotel instead where the state cannot do anything.

In German.

It's normal.

Even before the 'normal' actors.

The online 'debates' are just a collection of every single logical fallacy in the book.

People no longer learn how to actually debate.
