This looks bad, but the last time Jared Hess and Jack Black teamed up we got Nacho Libre, which was good.

Screen durability and the distracting crease are the two biggest problems with foldables, so they are making a phone where a third of the screen is always unprotected, added an additional crease, and sharpened the radius of both creases. Hard pass for me (and most people), but this is more of a statement piece for their manufacturing and engineering prowess than a mass market product. Hopefully the advances they make will improve single fold devices.

I'm super excited for the mobile version but also worried about my future productivity

They definitely deserve this. Still, I hope their fab business works out because we need another high end fab (especially a US based one). It's exorbitantly expensive, too much for anyone but an established player to enter the market.

What else about P9 is underwhelming? Genuinely curious, not trying to start an argument. I'll be upgrading from a pixel 6, so maybe that's why it all sounds fine to me. Ultrasonic fingerprint scanner was my biggest request and it sounds like that's in.

This one seems the least believable to me, but I admit I have almost no experience shooting guns. Maybe you won't be super accurate, but it would work if you were going for suppressing fire against multiple bad guys while trying to get to cover or something.

Make it powerful enough for the UI to be fast and smooth and I'll upgrade in a heartbeat.

When I was in school the kids with the weird names were either picked on or they were super cool and popular. Their parents had no idea which one they were going to be when they chose the name.

Your friend has the benefit of knowing who she is already. If she knows she's going rock it, then go Mildred.

So your solution is to give up and throw your vote away? I'm glad you didn't want my respect because you didn't get it.

A literal corpse being paraded around for four years like Weekend at Bernie's would still be a better choice than Trump. He attempted a coup to invalidate the will of the people and maintain power, sent a mob to attack the Capitol building, and has been charged with 91 felony counts in four jurisdictions just for stuff he did while in office and as a candidate (convicted of 34 and counting).

But democracy died when an old man showed signs of being old? Not all that other stuff? Yeah, I'm voting for Biden. Easiest decision of my life. You should too.

Most probably wouldn't have voted at all but that doesn't change the math. In a US presidential election, voting third party and not voting at all are equivalent in every practical sense.

It absolutely is righteous indignation. You aren't in the same situation as that guy and you aren't being brave. Palestinians in Gaza will not be thanking you if Trump becomes president.

They aren't both Hitler though. One is unquestionably worse than the other even if you only look at that single issue. One of them WILL be the next president whether you like it or not. You can have a say in who that will be, or you can go with righteous indignation and let the worse option win by default.
