To be fair to the journalist(s), it could be a budgetary issue. It’s a small town, and their 98-year-old mother was living with them.
Was.
The stress of the search killed her.
Meyer also blames the home raid for stressing his 98-year-old mother enough to cause her death on Saturday. Joan Meyer was the newspaper’s co-owner.
Oh… Fun Fact. I’m from KCMO where the Chief served for 24 years. Look up our gun violence rate (maybe you can’t, I tried, and it looks like news agencies just stopped counting due to the frequency - the last one was just on Saturday) and our homicide rate.
Two of us, Ellsberg and Noam Chomsky, testified for Assange at his extradition hearing last year. In Ellsberg’s words then, the WikiLeaks publications that Assange is being charged for are “amongst the most important truthful revelations of hidden criminal state behavior that have been made public in U.S. history.” The...
Assange is a rapist (alleged) narcissistic psychopath. He uses everyone and throws them away. Chelsea. The women he raped (cough ‘allegedly raped’), his own Wikileaks team. You name it, he’s pumped it and dumped it.
Assange is a Putin puppet piece of shit who deserves to rot in a cell for the rest of his miserable life.
Assange gave us Trump. Trump gave us COVID disinformation. COVID disinformation gave us over one million American deaths.
So fuck Assange and fuck everyone and everything associated with him.
If anyone is interested, I try to profile political events and figures. My Wikileaks profile can be found here. I plan to do a Julian Assange one in my next chapter, and I am currently finishing up one on The U.S. Green Party.
I don’t want to, but I’m thinking about switching to FF since Edge and Chrome have been having freezing issues for the past six months or so.
Native ad blocking via extension would definitely help nudge me over. Especially since I’m considering getting a OnePlus Open and a web browser would be a vital part of the Foldable experience.
Interesting bootlicker take amidst a content creator strike in Hollywood. Granted YouTube isn’t under those Unions, but the power dynamics are quite similar (#YouTubeUnion)
Sponsors don’t give a shit about creators, they are just an annoying necessity for the content creator.
Why give a shit about a sponsor who doesn’t give a shit about the YouTuber you enjoy?
I have an Apple Watch Series 7. Average battery life is ~30 hours. Less if it runs on LTE instead of Bluetooth.
That watch is more expensive than the Galaxy Watch 4. At launch and second hand.
Now you can get a good/mint condition used Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 46mm LTE for around ~$150 on Swappa. The same tier Apple Watch Series 7 on Swappa goes for ~$225 on Swappa.
And the Apple Watch doesn’t even have blood pressure like the Watch 4 does. Granted, you have to do some sideloading to get it working in the States until FDA clears it, but the hardware is still there.
While the earlier renders were considerably sleeker, I’m fine with the added bulkiness look considering that they went with Samsung screens last minute, and it looks like it will have either a Time-of-Flight (ToF) and/or a LiDAR sensor in the camera.
Price will be the deciding factor between this and a Motorola Edge Plus 2013 for me.
OnePlus is ticking all the right boxes for me to invest in my first foldable. If they land the price (ideally the $1,399.99 or less that the Pixel Fold was rumored to be), it’s a guaranteed buy for me.
From what I’ve read, OnePlus updates are slower than Samsung but faster than Motorola.
Compared to Google, I think the SOC that will make it stand apart from the Pixel Fold. The Tensor 2 chip was still based on Exynos, so having the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will put it up against Samsung almost immediately.
Compared to Samsung, it will likely come down to a boring iteration with relatively dependable QC vs a device pushing the boundaries of the genre with potentially less dependable QC.
I do think the Open could become the Foldable for ROM junkies. I think that market will prefer the SD over the Tensor.
A Samsung display could put this device in Samsung/Apple tier territory real quick if they price it right and at least match Samsung on software updates.
The Open is quickly becoming what the Pixel Fold should have been.
I’m really leaning into buying a OnePlus Open when they come out, depending on price.
I currently have an iPhone 12 Pro Max, which is starting to act like a three-year-old phone.
With the price hikes, the iPhone 15 Pro Max could be within $100-$200 of the Open, if OnePlus decides to price the Open closer to the Oppo Find N2 rather than the Samsung Galaxy Fold.
So… $1,199 for an iPhone 15 Pro Max with an outdated screen, still no touchID, and no mute switch, or…
Possibly ~ $1,099 - $1,399 for a OnePlus Open for what will be the largest foldable on the market with the latest hinge tech, fingerprint scanner, and a mute switch.
I’ll likely pick up a cheap Samsung Galaxy Watch4 Classic LTE to use until the Watch6 Classic comes down in price next year.
Same here and same phone. My 12PM has been starting to slow down increasingly for about the last 6 months, but my battery capacity has stayed steady at 89% throughout that time.
I’m torn between getting a Galaxy S23 Ultra when they get deeply discounted, a Motorola Edge Plus 2023, or a OnePlus open. I would have considered the Motorola RAZR Plus 2023 if it had the same SOC as the Edge Plus 2023.
The Galaxy Fold/Flip 5s seem to be barely iteratively better than last gen, so those are a pass until Samsung decides how it wants to handle competition from Google and OPPO.
The Pixel 7 Pro QC issues and the Tensor 3 still being based on Exynos while the Tensor 2 is slower than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 have made me decide against the Pixel 8 Pro and the Pixel Fold.
I think I’m going to pick up a cheap Galaxy Watch 4 Classic to replace my Apple Watch until the Galaxy Watch 6 comes down in price in 2024 or hopefully the Pixel Watch 2 can compete.
