I'm less concerned with them being effective and more concerned they'll fuck up and kick off Kessler Syndrome

Code 50 lines and whaddaya get?

Another day older and deeper in debt.

Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go

I owe my soul to the private equity group who owns my house.

I don't have any resources but my Volvo has a long, low hood and a heavily padded engine cover

We can't have pop-up headlights because of pedestrian safety, but you can buy a 5,000 pound vehicle that does 0-60 in three seconds and has a hood level with most people's heads because that's totally safe for pedestrians.

I could see it being useful if it was an accessory to your phone. Not having to dig my phone out of my pocket to take a picture of something to look it up, or having a push-to-talk badge or pendant would make it more convenient, especially for folks like me who don't wear watches. And with Bluetooth it would have decent battery life.

But the damn thing can't even set a timer.

Yeah, you tend to learn from those sort of mistakes

Apple has a ton of engineering experience with hinges from their laptop days, and even the old lampshade-style iMac.

I was a teenager who wanted to be a 1337 haxxor so I found out what warez were, and then wanted to play a bunch of games for free.

It depends on the car. If I see a nice looking expensive car I don't think they're an asshole. Seeing something amazing is a treat for a gearhead like me, no matter how bitter I am.

The Cybertruck, however, is ugly as fuck. Unless your aesthetic is 80s low-poly video games it is even uglier in person than pictures. The fact that something that ugly costs that much is almost insulting.
