Uhh yeah? The title did say he was in private equity.

Onward we march in goose step with history

Kissinger lived to be 100 years old. It’s always the hateful ass holes that hang on forever.

Probably 😅

No, just verifying some things. Are you surprised? You asked that question like you would be surprised I’d say no.

Do you think the same thing for those living in China or Russia? What about those in Turkey or Hungary?

I couldn’t disagree more, so I guess that gets you an upvote.

I prefer Luigi when picking my sidekick.

Shut the fuck up Bill

Not exactly, but kind of. A couple of years back AT&T decided to implement a phone white list where if the phone model you were using wasn’t on the list then it wouldn’t work on their network even if it was technologically compatible. You could bring your own device, but only if it was on that list. The phone I was using at the time (and every phone after that) was not on the list, so I switched to a carrier that did not have that restriction.

In my original comment I was being kinda lazy because I didn’t want to type the above out.

You kinda can. I purchased mine through Clove Technology which ships to the US and am using it with a carrier that allows me to bring my own device.

Are all conversions done manually, or can it be done automatically? Have you done any kind of direct deposit with your account?

Thank you. Do you have any experience with them? My initial reaction (not saying it’s justified, just what it is) is concern about the fact that they are a fintech that is still relatively new in banking terms. Given the issues other fintechs have had and the general tech bro vibe around them I don’t think it’s entirely unreasonable to be weary of them, but I also know I can be overly cautious in my thinking with these things.

Regardless, the service appears to be exactly what I was thinking of so I will dig into them.

That is just horrendous. I am not a coder by trade or education, but I do a fair amount of it in my job. I may heavily use copy and paste, but I at least make sure it matches the structure of my current code, and I always include the URL to where I got it in a comment above the code.

The bikes I am looking to buy for the purpose of commuting over mixed terrain is in the $800-$1,400 price range (as of last year before tariff stuff). I don’t currently own a bike but I have owned and ridden a number of bikes in the past. The couple of hundred dollar bikes from like Walmart are just trash that don’t hold up. They fall apart pretty quickly under heavy riding.

All of this assumes one is buying new. If we are talking used then all of the above is somewhat a moot point.

Even within new the kind of riding matters a lot. If I know for a fact that I would only ever be riding on smooth paved roads then an old fixed frame street bike with skinny tires and very basic brakes and gears would make a lot of sense. There is zero chance that bike is going to be switching between road, grass, gravel, mud, and some of the other terrain I would be commuting across though.

All of those facts are irrelevant and distractions though. Assuming that is the case then he should have been tried according to the rules of this country. The point in concentrating on this isn’t about the individual, it’s about the implication and precedent that is being set for everyone in the future.

That’s OK. Now you know ☺️.

It looks like it has a decent amount of physical control buttons and knobs instead of all being in the screen which is nice.

Who cares what it output?

I’m in the US and while Fairphone doesn’t sell the 5 here I was able to “import” it via Clover Technology.
