I don't think one of the chokey-est QBs in history is the right person to take over as coach of a QB-centric team.

Yeah Walmart are supposedly putting in their own charging hardware and presumably some kind of network they control and profit from directly.

The ChargePoint chargers at a Sam's Club near me have been inoperable for about 4 months and when I reported it, ChargePoint said the "owners of the stations declined to repair them".

So I assume that means they are pending rollout of their own charging. Really inconvenient for now though.

Yeah, OP, based on my experience with the Deck, for a vast majority of games you can just go to the ingame pause screen, press power button to "sleep" the Deck, and then resuming later has no impact.

There are a few games that maybe had audio issues or something after resume but nothing major if your main concern was simply avoiding losing progress.

Using a very loose definition of the word "meal".

That's wild. I'm a Chiefs fan but I feel for Nix and the Donks. Injuries suck and that is a garbage way to end his outstanding season.

GrapheneOS is a nice reprieve from the sea of endless enshittification news flowing forth from Big Tech these days.

Pants-on-head idiocy by the DA.

It is 100% legal in the US to build your own gun for personal use, and has been for the entire existence of the country.

Just because it can now be done with custom plastic parts instead of wooden or hardware store parts, changes nothing.

Plus there is no way to validate when 3D printed guns were created, because they aren't required to be serialized unless they are made by a dealer for resale. So they'd have to ban ALL pre-existing 3D printed guns of any kind, regardless of manufacture date, since you're not going to be able to distinguish preban guns.

Putting spyware into every 3D printer or slicer software, because of what people "might do", is also ridiculous and scummy.

TL; DR- This DA needs to fuck off and just use normal constitutional methods to enforce laws.

What people don't want is blackbox AI agents installed system-wide that use the carrot of "integration and efficiency" to justify bulk data collection, that the end user implicitly agrees to by logging into the OS.

God forbid people want the compute they are paying for to actually do what they want, and not work at cross purposes for the company and its various data sales clients.

I was thinking about this, and to defray the cost and make EVs more plausible in suburban US areas, they could make one simple modification.

Instead of the current model where only certain businesses are electing to spend $10-20k per level 2 charger, they should just aim to build almost all new businesses (this would include hotels, apartments, etc.) with basic-bitch 120v 15A outdoor-rated wall outlets in front of every parking spot. The outlets could be on a post, on a wall, built into the concrete curb, whatever is up to code and can be done cheaply.

The cost per spot would be relatively low compared to level 2 or DC fast charging and then people could charge using their own portable level 1 charger and the provided outlet. Level 1 charging at virtually any parking lot, plus being able to overnight charge where you live, covers almost all use cases.

This is what I have found also. My car has a 200+ mile range at 80% charge but for my typical daily and weekly driving habits it works just great and I seldom need to use public charging.

I only get 2-3 miles of range back per hour of 120v level 1 charging, but it matters little because I just let it charge overnight in the garage and it is ready to go the next morning.

Asuka is saucy enough that she is believable as a latina.
