  • I use Krogers delivery sometimes now. Prices are all the same as in store, and I don’t have to drive there and back. If I pick a strange time for delivery, say 2-3pm on a Tuesday, shipping is like $1.99. It would cost more in gas for me to do it myself, and if you order $200 worth of groceries, it saves a lot of time.

    There is no way they are saving money doing it, it must just be to scrape up the possibility I don’t stop at ALDI because it’s closer to me.





  • Why would it be more of a luxury? Fuel and maintenance should be cheaper, and with proper investments the cars should be cheaper as well. A lot of the battery research right now is showing batteries that could last say 1,000,000 miles. If you get decent standards for such, you could have parents getting a new car and moving their old battery into a cheap EV for their teenager. If it had 200,000 miles on it, they can keep moving it to their next vehicle, and next vehicle if they keep wanting to get new features. The average American drives 14,000 miles a year. In theory they can pass that battery down to their teenager as well, but at that point it’s probably better to just recycle it or use it as a backup generator for the home.

    Making repairable, recyclable, reusable batteries takes one of the largest costs down by a long shot.

    Notre; Obviously batteries don’t last miles, but for sake of this discussion it made sense to put it this way

    I had my LG Rumor2 at that time, but that was just me. It fell out of my pocket going 45mph on a highway, survived… I opened a cooler at Sam’s club and the moisture made the screen no longer flip and die. It was sad, but I enjoyed every phone I’ve had… Each has their pink sun glasses. But I must say… Never have I sat a flagship on the shelf and just used a phone with a cracked screen that is only 1/5 the price till now. I spent to much time focused on what features were, and the last year I have learned what use is like. I see 0 reason to use the pixel 9 pro, when it maybe runs laps supposedly around this. I had to change settings to make my spouse (Samsung 24 user) even able to think that phone was usable. (She doesn’t want gestures, there are no dock buttons by default).

    Force quitting an app is like figuring out thermodynamics… As someone who studied thermodynamics. Rediulous


  • Kennedy is a huge part of the problem, but MAGA weaponizing/turning vaccines and healthcare into political topics unfortunately started long before anyone thought Kennedy would ever hold any position. Basically when Trump thought he may lose office his team tried to flip the script that the vaccines, he pushed for, and the lockdowns he started were somehow only because of Democrats. By 2022, near any conservative you talked to were saying Biden started the lockdowns and Trump never pushed for vaccines. And Kennedy wasn’t even in the picture yet for most people.



  • Hopefully it’ll shit itself eventually, until that day, it’s like living in the hate musk thread. Guys shit, will never have the warmth or depth to be a cunt, but really I don’t need to hear about the fucker every day.

    Edit: To add to that. Since this account was created, the man has amounted more wealth than the lower 50% of the U.S. owns combined. ~200 to ~500 billion. Yet we are worried why we can’t afford a fucking dinner for the family, and skipping lunch
