Yup. Rare, but has happened multiple… oh wait, you said “strongly held.”

Even then, probably yes, but not a single… hmmm. I would say the closest I’ve come was this person talking about what it’s like to be trans. They said it’s like going into a shoe store, and you just can’t find a shoe that fits. Everyone is telling you you’ve got to buy a shoe that doesn’t fit. Why can’t we be ok with everyone deciding what fits?

They said it more eloquently than that, but it made the issue click for me. I was never against; I just didn’t understand, and they helped me understand.

Then much later someone pointed out the scientific data on SRY and that helped the data side of my brain. (The data didn’t change my acceptance, just furthered my understanding. I’m fully onboard and think it’s crazy that everyone else isn’t.)

Great question! (Mostly I have dropped out of online discussions, straw man arguments are so common it’s exhausting and not worth it.)

Last one doesn’t make sense any more, iPhones have been usb-c for a couple years now.

Shredded latex is the answer, 100%. But only if you are able to remove (or add) the latex as needed. I found I needed about half of what the pillow came with. Maybe a third?

The result is a pillow that can do it all: prop up your head for reading in bed, become mostly neck support for back sleeping (with a bit of shaping; takes seconds but isn’t automatic,) and ditto for side sleeping but at a slightly higher height.

Once you get used to a pillow that holds its shape and provides excellent support, all other pillows feel archaic.

I am trying so hard not to be a pedantic ass about 1GB and 1Gb…

… and failing.

We knew what you meant!

Most cars only lose value.

A very tiny minority of mostly exotics become collectors items and are worth many times their original value, even after considering inflation.

For heavy construction vehicles only three main factors need to align: normal replacement schedule, enough capacity for the heaviest day (which is quite predictable in many industries,) and the charging infrastructure.

The last one is a major hurdle and is holding back EVs on all levels already. In the US it is also the least likely to see improvement anytime soon

I am very very much not an artist, and yet also cannot imagine not being able to conjure up images of whatever.

It is fascinating how the brain works! Even if we barely understand it!

He personally does, but Grok calling him out on his BS makes Grok look better in my view. Still not going to use any product remotely associated with Musk though

Project 2025 is the lesser evil? Compared to?

I agree with you, except your use of “his.” OP only used the term partner.

If people would vote for good that’d be a choice. Consistently voting for “less evil” works towards that goal - having good candidates.

If “more evil” candidates keep winning, what message does that send to candidates?
