That’s kind of irrelevant though because the US wasn’t colonizing them. And in both, the US had complete dominance during the entire occupation.

The south Vietnamese and the Afghan governments were weak and corrupt and caved as soon as the US withdrew. In a colonial situation, the US would have not pulled out at all and would have implemented a permanent occupation.

I mean if you don’t use the health app you’ve eliminated like 90% of what the watch is for. The entire premise is a wearable biometric sensor that also functions as a direct link to your phone.

I have an ultra that I use for a ton of stuff. I originally got an SE for the better sleep tracking, but that turned into using it for workouts at which point I got a series 8. When I got into longer distance cycling (75-100 miles) the battery on that didn’t last long enough so I upped to the ultra.

Oh absolutely. It’s probably worth the $3500 at least. I just cannot think of a use case for myself that would justify it lol. I don’t work from home enough to claim it for work, and I can’t remote in from a Mac anyway.

And with kids, I definitely don’t have the free time to use it to watch movies or anything.

Come on Covid-24!

Pretty much the only reason I didn’t buy one.

I did the guided demo at the Apple Store and it’s a cool thing. If it were $2000 with AppleCare instead of $4000 I probably would have bought one.

I’ll see what they release for the “Air” version.

Which is what 50% of people should expect to reach…

Hell, her last name alone gives it away.

The Drummond family is one of the wealthiest families in Oklahoma, owning hundreds of thousands of acres of land.

Wealthy enough they have their own Wikipedia page.

She’s married into one of the wealthiest families in Oklahoma.

Completely excluding the tens of millions she herself is worth from her business.

Sure, but NK is involved in the war in Ukraine given that they’re supplying arms to Russia.

Why are lemmings so socially inept that they can’t pick up on something so obviously satire

Trying to label everything in concrete terms like this does nobody any favors.

I know plenty of very high earners that are just stupid with money and blow it as fast as they get it. People making $300k+ and living paycheck to paycheck with no savings or retirement because they bought two $100k+ cars, overextended themselves on buying a house, spend hundreds a week on restaurants and shopping, etc.

Are they the “working poor”?

As far as working class goes, sure if you want to break it down into only a two class structure then yeah. You’re either working class or owner class. That ignores a lot of nuance though within the working class. There’s quite a bit of difference between someone at the bottom of the working class and someone like a high earning professional that still needs to work, but has a much higher standard of living.

And if you spend a couple hundred bucks on insulation, you don’t need to preheat anything in your garage either.

Cars have had remote start for a long time. But you can’t just leave a gas car running in a closed garage. That’s a good way to accidentally take the forever nap.

No it’s because they hate Jews.

Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iran, and Lebanon do not give a single fuck about Palestine or Palestinians. They want the land for themselves.

From 1948 to 1967 Jordan owned the West Bank. And Egypt controlled Gaza.

No Palestinian state was created then when it could have been. Jordanians and Egyptians built settlements of their own and displaced Palestinians.

Egypt refuses to take in Palestinians now.

Yes? Jordan has participated in every conflict against Israel since 1947.

To be fair, they do. Iran, Jordan, and Egypt have tried repeatedly to eliminate Israel entirely.

Because they have nukes and would use them on their neighbors.

For me it was the eyes. Pretty much all of the real faces had realistic reflections in the eyes. The AI ones didn’t.

I got 8/10. The blond AI and the dude with glasses were the two I missed.

The article isn’t exactly clear, but it seems like Apple is going to allow third party processing for in app purchases now alongside using the App Store payment system, which will be subject to the App Store fee plus whatever the third party processing fee is, but linking to an external website will not. Apple is requiring information about revenue generated from third party payment systems within the app to set the appropriate App Store fee. 12 or 27% now down from 15 and 30%.

They are also explicitly going to allow apps to link to external websites for payment processing, which won’t be subject to any App Store fee.

No, Apple only charges commission on purchases within the app using apples system. You can implement your own and tell people to make a purchase they need to go to your website.

That’s what Netflix has always done as one example.
