I used to pine for this. I loved my physical keyboard on the Treo and Palm Pre. I didn't keep it long, but I even rocked a Moto Photon Q for a bit.

Then I found swipe typing and will never go back. It is SO much faster

Lock him up. Kick him in the balls and lock him up.

Fuck all these people. They knew all this shit was going on and either took part in it themselves or let it happen when they actually had power to stop it.

Wait, you just said NATO was fake-ass and would do nothing. Why would Ukraine joining NATO be terrible for Russia if NATO is so fake-ass and worthless?

Also, just because I'm an American doesn't mean I believe in the things my government does. Trying to leave NATO and attacking random countries, like Trump is doing now, is not something I think is right.

A) Ukraine is not part of NATO.

B) NATO countries are providing Ukraine with tons of military hardware, without which it is arguable whether Ukraine would have survived this long.

C) The point is that Putin is using NATO as an excuse to go after Ukraine, since NATO is "threatening Russia" and Ukraine joining NATO would put a threatening force on Russia's doorstep.

Yeah, I don't follow RM at all and have no idea how they look on the field, but their results are pretty good.

Pretty much, yeah. Millions of Americans still think the guy who would be cool in high school is a better leader than the biggest nerd in school. They vote for the guy they want to have a beer with.

Also, millions of Americans care more about saving their money in taxes over hurting other people.

The fingerprint reader works well. I don't like using keypads much, but they do work well.

The smart doorbell hasn't done much yet (and hopefully won't ever be needed to do anything), but it is nice to be able to set my doorbell ring to be a fart sound. It is both funny and doesn't make my dog bark at the doorbell.

The President isn't elected in a popular vote, and small states in the middle of the county have vastly more relative voting power than states on the coasts? It isn't that inland politicians are more authentic. It is that inland voters, who have double the voting power, choose to vote for people who ACT like salt of the earth, whether they are from a long-wealthy family or not. So if you act like a coastal elite, you are at a disadvantage compared to someone who acts like a cowboy even though they went to Yale. Or if you talk like a normal person and use complete sentences, you are at a disadvantage to someone who yells and screams about being a Christian even though they aren't.

Yeah, remote HVAC is great. I also like the smart door lock that auto-unlocks as I walk up to it so I don't need to deal with keys... though that doesn't always great and I end up having to use the fingerprint reader to unlock it. It is still nice to be able to unlock the door remotely to let my neighbor bring in our packages while we're gone or to feed the dog if I'm working late.

A) Bullshit. None of them have actually left yet. One is moving some companies' headquarters. Another already moved 6 years ago. The third is just "increasing his presence."

B) This isn't even past the ballot proposal signature phase yet. Even if they did/do move, it has nothing to do with this tax.

C) This is 3 out of 255.

D) They don't fucking pay taxes ANYWAY. We have lost nothing of value.

E) Good. Leave. Fewer people driving up costs in my state.

And I wonder who he thinks would lead this new political entity.

I am all in favor of countries banding together to create more powerful bargaining units and helping to stabilize economies in their regions, I just wonder how well it would work when ALL countries involved are unstable economically and politically. It's one thing for the EU to be created with Latvia, Romania, and Bulgaria when you have France, Germany, and England to stabilize things. It's another thing for countries that have all had major issues with stability in both recent years and consistently in the past 30 years to try coming together.

Maybe that instability is partly due to US interference that this will help prevent in the future? Maybe it would help reduce the violence from drug cartels, which could stabilize the region as well?

And what about the consumers who paid extra to those businesses? Are they going to get refunds?
