Those showed up a year or so ago. Pretty good, but sold out fast.

If you like them, I recommend trying some of the Hawaiian chocolate macadamia nut packs. Destroys the Costco version.

Makes sense in that environment. If someone doesn’t have at least one grandparent that endured some shit then their family lived a very fortunate life. Or more likely didn’t pass down stories of just how bad things got.

Obviously friends their age would depend on neighborhood demographics.

However, in the US many of them are not able to bike to a playground or school and anything beyond their street could be a high speed road. I’d say only a small percentage can bike to the places you mentioned, especially after elementary age. Some areas of the US are good, but I doubt more than a tiny fraction of the kids in places like Texas could do that.

We specifically moved because our old neighborhood lacked all 3 and I didn’t want my kids growing up the way I did.

Most kids have no where nearby to go on bikes. Plus cars and trucks are enormously more dangerous to kids these days thanks to being much larger, heavier and quicker to accelerate.

The only thing I would trust for that is a clean install of the OS and then using Chris Titus’s WinUtil to remove the now standard windows bloat.

Hate that I have to run it after every Windows update now since they reactivate the crap.

Best practices are something I’ve rarely ever seen applied at corporations. If I’m lucky, I’m only trying to explain to management why we need source control, if I’m unlucky the tech team needs to be educated and forced to use it.

Really can’t see AI assistance going smooth when it lets people think even less about what they’re doing.

There are definitely companies that can take advantage of it and use it properly, but I think they are going to be a minority.

I like AI. I think it’s great for quick references or a starting point, but I’ve already seen projects scrapped and restarted because a bunch of junior devs used AI with no understanding and management gave up on them after a year where the number of significant bugs never decreased. Take one down, feed it to the AI, two more bugs in the tracker.

In the US, actually using them for cargo or towing would put you in a small minority. The last research I saw said towing is only done by 10% of owners a year.

I haven’t seen the stats on cargo in the bed, but I imagine it’s MUCH lower since most of these trucks are expensive and shiny. The last time I tossed a bunch of furniture in the bed the person I was buying it from was worried I’d scratch the paint in the bed.

Truck fans in the US are weird and so common now that they look at you strange if you want to use it for actual truck stuff.

We’ll see when the reviews hit. It’d be pretty dumb for it to be worse than an M1 when older airs get discounted down to similar prices.

Ok at this point it’s been 5 years since the M1 and it’s crazy people are still acting like 8GB is unusable on them. My work Mac is 8GB. So is my wife’s. I run Xcode, iOS simulator, safari, VSCode and the corporate security software at the same time without issue.

Would I want that little for video games? Hell no.

It’s still fine for the typical user. As a developer, I find the base 256GB far more of an issue since it’s impossible for me to fit multiple versions of Xcode and simulators on it simultaneously.
