I’m picturing a vast apple pie desert with an ice cream oasis.

Or they changed the headline and due to caches CDNs or other reasons you didn’t get the newer one.

archive.today has your original headline cached.

Thanks for posting. While it’s a needlessly provocative headline, if that’s what the article headline was, then that is what the Lemmy one should be.

That is odd. It’s not what I see:

Salted butter is a condiment.

Unsalted butter is an ingredient.

A very poor Lemmy article headline. The linked article says “alleged” and clearly there were multiple factors involved.

 

Is there a way to turn off haptics when a server error happens?

Various Lemmy servers that Arctic connects to are sometimes down. Even my host, lemm.ee, one of the more reliable ones, was down for a few minutes this morning. During this time I was trying to read an article but got an error message with haptics every few seconds. I would like to turn off the haptics when this happens.

It seems like “globally” doesn’t include the US this time. We need more affordable options here and Stellantis needs to get in the game.

Someone, maybe Elon, told him some stuff about hydrogen vehicles and he’s regurgitating it in a jumbled way.

He’s always been incoherent and intellectually lazy. Not good qualities for a president. Now combine that with burnout from doing rally after rally and you get this. But I’m not sure I’d describe it as cognitive decline.

I have an EV with 250 miles range. Typically gets more than that, not less, in the summer with AC on.

Very few people will be able to use it: only iPhone 15 Pro and higher. Most users won’t have a capable phone until their next upgrade in 1-3 years.

Hopefully by then they’ve caught up to where Anthropic, OpenAI, and Meta are today.

About US$8,500 with 110 km range and can be ordered from their web site. https://cargen.com/product/ape-e-city-fx/. The petrol version is US$3,500.

Inflation has been falling for a couple years and is fairly low right now, though not as low as it was back when interest rates were zero.

The dollar has been fairly strong in recent years.

https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/index/dxy/charts

Inflation in 2022 was likely due to price gouging with companies like Exxon Mobil reporting record or near-record profits at that time.

https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/XOM/exxon/gross-profit

By late 2022, companies had jacked up prices high enough that the demand curve had likely reached the “crossover” point. Since then prices and inflation have been falling back to normal.

 

About 3 or 4 years ago PayPal added the option to buy cryptocurrency, which I thought I’d try. (Dumb idea 🙄)

Part of the sign up process was glitched. I retried and clicked submit one too many times, I guess. Now I’ve been unable to use PayPal for years. They blocked me because THEIR SITE was broken, but the web page essentially accuses me of being a criminal and asks for my bank records. No way in hell.

This was just for me to pay others. I can only imagine how awful PayPal is if you are a vendor.

Fuck PayPal.

 

I see this error almost every time I open the comments on a post.

My server is lemm.ee. Does it not support the “mark as read” feature?

 

I don’t know when they were added, but I just noticed that spoiler tags are supported.

Comedian Lewis Black has a routine about “a Starbucks across the street from a Starbucks”. Apple Stores aren’t nearly as common.

Unless you’re in Glendale, California -- where Apple Glendale Galleria is across the street from Apple The Americana at Brand.

Are there any other Apple Stores this close together?

The stores are less than 150 meters apart, but unfortunately they aren’t within sight of each other. As you exit Apple The Americana at Brand, you won’t see the other Apple Store — only a notably uncrowded Samsung Experience Store.

New EV owner here. We charge at home so I don’t need to use them, but stores nearby have chargers. I tried them to see how they work. They are often broken.

One store has a Volta charger (free!). It worked great the first time; the next time I went it was broken.

Walmart has an Electrify America fast charger. The first time I went, 1 of 3 was not working. The next time I went, 1 of 3 was not working, but it was a different one.

Was I unlucky, or are these charging networks unreliable? Has it been getting better or worse over time?

 

We need ‘em!
