That’s only the Cavendish, there are other varieties of banana. I was recently in Hawai’i and got to try an Apple Banana that had been grown there.

My dog hates leaving the house. Literally screams bloody murder upon seeing a car let along being put in one.

This is pretty much what swap meets (aka flea markets) are for.

This is cool but it shows where tribes are now, not where they were before removal.

5:27 or 5:32… the numbers need to add or subtract for my brain to accept it.

That’s because elevators use counter weights usually equal to the weight of the car and half the occupancy load so that it takes less energy to lift it and if it falls for any reason it won’t hit the bottom as long as the counter weights are still attached. The occupancy load is determined by the counter weighting system not the cable load capacity.

It’s been a minute but every place I have worked that had tickets had a weekly round table meeting to cover the ones you have had open for more than a week.

Sounds like you maybe had bad managers.

I live in the US and I also just got back from a 10 day trip that had me in 6 different airports around the US and saw basically nobody using their phones to pay. I saw a bunch of people using the translate app, the camera, FaceTime, Apple wallet for boarding passes, but no tap to pay.

I think it’s because the places that use it also have their own apps, like Starbucks. You can order and pay in the app and if you are likely to setup Apple Pay you are probably fine going all the way with the app too. The same is true of Walmart and other major retailers who also specifically don’t take Apple or Google pay because they want you to use their app.

I think people overestimate that feature. Where I live you still have to hand your card to the teller most of the time and nobody is handing their phone over for tap to pay.

They are called HMD now.

I agree, Motorola is owned by Lenovo. They have found middling success with the return of their Razr line and with phones in the lower to mid tier range. But they really want something super flagship. Something like the Think Phone would have probably sold really well with a Graphene option.

I still have high hopes for the Open WebOS project.

The Lost World (the second movie) is also based on a book by Michael Crichton [pronounced cry-ton], but it diverges from the book even more than the first movie.

It’s worth a read, as is Disclosure by the same author (pretty much all of his books are good).

Honestly it’s hard not to wonder if they intentionally tried to get more people sharing before they pulled the plug.

No, it’s not a real photograph. It says so in the photograph.

It’s super cool that we can still see it even though the photograph isn’t real.

As would I. There is an existing line from Kansas City to Tulsa to OKC that has been talked about being opened for passengers for a couple decades.

The fucking MythBusters did an episode on that like 20 years ago.

You would be surprised. Most modern “dumb phones” run KaiOS which has an App Store.

Huh? Elected US Republicans are overwhelmingly white and mostly men.
