  • Is it? I think it’s worth pointing out that they only tested 3 models (?) from the same company. We have no idea if it can be extrapolated so the headline is hyperbolic. It’s like saying apples potatoes are poisonous but you only tested 3 farms owned by the same company for poison.

    Regardless, I am pro-regulation for both safety and environmental impact. They created an insane amount of ewaste already and now some have full color LCDs…on a device you’re supposed to throw away in a month









  • Buddy, you may be an expert in vehicular regulations but I sure hope you don’t think you’re expert in picking up on social cues.

    I will be blunt and leave no room for doubt here - I am not interested in debating this topic nor am I interested in debating anything with you in particular.

    Imagine being in a casual conversation in real life and having some random guy walk up and start ranting about a point you weren’t making. You’re confused but acknowledge their presence out of courtesy. Then they drop another essay on you and this time they’re insisting you defend the point.

    That’s you in this thread. You’re that annoying guy.

    Please go make some friends. Your smarter-than-thou attitude is absolutely insufferable.





  • My favorite airport security experience was in Japan. They were doing the whole “do you have any [thing you can’t fly with] in your bag?” thing and the guy asked, with a heavy japanese accent, if I was carrying any explosives.

    After a few "carrying a what??"s from me, he pulled out a three hole binder and flipped to a sheet with a picture of a cartoon bomb. We both lost it when I pulled back and said “what the hell?? Nooo!”

    I didn’t have anything special like precheck but he let me get in the rich person line afterward. I guess I just didn’t expect to be asked so directly and casually if I was planning an act of terrorism lol
