Backmarket will buy it from you and resell it. Just bought an iPhone 13 for my 16 year old. Lots of life left in “old” devices

Considering he’s dead, probably not much.

All the stuff in the USA named after Von Braun doesn’t surprise me.

Really interesting to see all the stuff named after Philippe Pétain in the USA. Looks like it was banned after him in the 1920s-1930s due to his role for France/allies in WWI. Then he became a Nazi collaborator later.

Good reminder of why you shouldn’t name things after people who are still alive.

Tom Wilson has history. Known to be an ‘on the edge’ player, physically.

Yup. I have The Clash song stuck in my head now.

I meant the brand more than the person.

I mean… Hugo Boss would take issue with not dressing to impress. But I guess even then it’s understated by fashion standards.

Hot take: The nether woods. They seem crazy, but the colors work in a remarkable number of situations.

But I love working with wool. Some don’t like the texture, but I think it works really well.

If you’re referring to Microsoft, they haven’t had anything to do with MSNBC since 2005, or the website site since 2012.

Yeah. It’s been a fairly common thing for decades. Counter programming during the halftime, encouraging people to flip channels. Puppy bowl on the animal channel is probably the most famous (and innocuous)

To me it felt more like Trek because it was at least occasionally philosophical and moralistic. Not just a stop-the-terrorist action movie.

It was fast from a perfect film though, don’t get me wrong. Plot holes and idiot plots. I’d still choose to watch a lot of other stuff before it. But it’s middle of the pack for Trek overall, IMO. Still beats ST: 3, Insurrection, Nemesis, etc

The only one that felt like Trek was the one written by an actual Trek fan and generally talented storyteller, Simon Pegg.

And agree with other comments that the cast was really good. Just had horrible stories and mediocre (at best) direction.

You can tell that knowing the source material on franchise movies matters: I couldn’t stand JJ’s Trek but I really liked Ep7. (Ep 9 was decent, but things were so off the rails after ep 8 there wasn’t much to recover)

To the layman: sleet=tiny ice. Hail=big ice.

Yes and no. There are plenty of other countries where abortion is illegal and always has been. Especially in more conservative and/or heavily Roman Catholic areas. They don’t go to abortion clinics and scream because there is no such thing.

North American majors leagues. Just Google it if you’re confused.

NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL.

What other four “major leagues” did you think I meant?

The NHL is by far the league with the most parity between the North American majors. If you think it struggles with competitive balance, try watching other sports.

No.

Canadian teams (except maybe Toronto) could never compete with the money teams from the USA can offer. Some players would play for a little less to be close to home, but they’re professionals with relatively short careers. If they’re not making as much money as they can add quickly as possible, that’s foolish. Most will follow the money.

It would be a lot like the KHL. A handful of marquee players that could argue they’re top talent in the world and would pull big money from the top 1-2 well-funded teams.

But it would be a mostly lower tier league because the teams from New York, Chicago, LA, etc will always have deeper pockets, especially factoring for exchange rates and taxes.

There are multiple restaurants in Japan that are hundreds of years older than this

Business love libertarians. Not fascists.

Fascists and dictators might decide to take over your business, double the cost of your raw materials through tariffs, or suddenly change all your regulations without discussion.

Ask any economists what business likes most and it is certainty. They hate the unknown and risk. Even if the policies aren’t their favorite, if they’re fixed and stable, they’ll find a way to work them.

Sure. Absolutely correct for pressing down on a button or something similar

For other stuff, it’s not common, but I think it’s technically correct.

Depending on what it is, “compress” might be a better term than “depress”, though.
