Terrible headline. The bacteria that killed him is associated with ‘Fried Rice Syndrome’ but FRS is named for leftovers stored in the fridge, not uneaten food left on the counter.

I see no flaw in this argument. Instead of dying, the character exists like the guy from “One” by Metallica, desperately waiting for a stiff breeze to end his existence.

Without context, that’s the only way to read it. That leads me to side with the Rep on this dude’s writing.

Kangol flat cap, gray. I alternate between that and a beige flat cap with a closer fit, which is the one that got me into flat caps.

If your blood plasma helps save somebody’s life, either directly as an infusion or indirectly in research, that’s not a scam. The monetary reward is compensation for time and an incentive to try to meet demand. The donation is free, but the time and energy required to make the donation are an expense. That’s what the compensation covers. It’s only a scam if your donation goes to feed a literal or wannabe vampire or their bathing fetish.

I do appreciate that he claims losers demand rematches without acknowledging that he is in a rematch after he lost 2020. Meanwhile, his wingman says celebrity billionaires should stay out of politics. Not a shred of self-awareness.

“Hanging himself with his own rope” is a funny saying. Imagine someone borrowing your rope to hang themself. “Sure, Don, you can borrow my rope.” Then you go to get your rope back. “Hey, Don! You done with my… nah, dude, that’s your rope. That’s not my rope. My bad.”

Which days are “these days”? If it’s the past couple of years, the number is 13. That’s not most. Going back a decade, 74 out of 1,654 is also not most. Many? Sure. But most phones with USB-C are USB 2.0, and no one cares except people who don’t use iPhones but love to complain about them.

Most people are not going backwards to plug in their phones to backup data. Even those who do backup locally do so over Wi-Fi, which is now faster than USB 3. Fast, wired transfer is absolutely a necessity for professionals moving A/V data. The iPhone Pro is for them. For the rest of us, it’s not something I’d need, even if I was still doing regular local backup these days.

It’s not like it’s the flagship model. The Pro is the flagship with ProMotion and USB 3.2. The non-Pro and SE are lesser ships in the fleet with lesser features. Same situation as the iPad Pro vs. Air and other models. I am squarely mid-range with my iPhone 13 mini and iPad Air 4, and the only Pro feature tempting me is Face ID on iPad because work authentication through Touch ID feels tedious compared to Face ID on iPhone.

No, it is only data. USB 2.0, 3, 4 refer to data speed. USB A/B/C refer to connector shape. There are min/max wattages associated with both of those, but USB Power Delivery is yet another USB spec that supersedes those limits, and it only requires USB on the power supply. That’s why USB-PD works on iPhones with Lightning ports, and why 140W power on MacBooks works through MagSafe (and not USB-C). Apple associates USB-C with charging speed to differentiate their charging cables, but the spec is about the connector, not speed. Though it never caught on, even a USB-A charger could deliver up to 100W via USB-PD 1.0. The first few Galaxy Z Flip models only supported USB 2.0, didn’t affect fast charging, and no one noticed.

It’s like he’s never even seen footage from a presidential campaign before. Or maybe no one told him he would handle all the human interactions to allow his boss to keep shouting nonsense.

I don’t see why I should be downgraded for not enjoying all the main movies when not all of them were enjoyable.
