I've been told if you do all four insurance might be more apt to cover it, best to do one to three of them that way it might not be covered

I hope someone with an old rust bucket parks in one of those driver spaces

hard pass on hybrids. Every hybrid I've known if has had super pricey transmission/clutch issues. I've had too much bad luck with them.

I would go full EV or full gasoline/diesel before going hybrid

Yeah I see no way this happens, if they wouldn't involve themselves in Microsoft being a monopoly /anticompetitive they sure as hell ain't going to combat Amazon

I mean they are currently /ok/ but since it's only samsung devices it bounces off instead of every android device it doesn't have the versatility that the Apple airtags have (where it bounces off any apple device and any android device with the app), so if it's between one of the other I would go with air tag since you can still use them on android (with a secondary app) but as always YMMV since it's made for Apple devices

that being said, might be changing with googles support for trackers!

I see why people use downvoting this way, especially since that was the norm on reddit which a good portion of the base fled from, I find the same issue I had with downvotes on reddit to apply here as well though. I try to advocate down votes to be not out of personal opinion, but a reflection that the content is either useless or harmful to the existing conversation. This allows posts that are actually useful and contribute to the discussion to exist even if they are unpopular to peoples opinion. Just because you don't like the post, doesn't mean the post isn't true or useful, which is why I find that form of downvoting ideology to be harmful overall.

That being said, I would find the parent comment you replied to as constructive to the conversation...Up until they started egging people on with "is getting people super angry" I wouldn't call this being downvoted for not agreeing, I would call it being downvoted for not being constructive to the post at hand(as there's no need to actively try to get people to rage at you with a post like that)

yea, but internal to internal charges are sadly not uncommon. so they would still do a charge.

fully agree, I dislike light mode but the true black dark modes hurt just the same after extended periods, grey mode somewhat like how discord has it hopefully turns into standard for dark mode styles instead of OLED style dark modes

I never really thought of that movie in ages, was the first 3d movie I've ever watched, I loved it. I never though about comparing it to SAO or Log Horizon. It's interesting to think about

I can't disprove any findings that the article never claims. I just read through all three of those. That was the biggest waste of time I did today.

Nothing in those articles stated any evidence or facts(article 2 doesn't even talk about dark mode past the first paragraph btw, it transitions into blue light and calling it dark mode). Nothing was peer-reviewed. None of them even took a side.

That being said, I decided to do some research of my own on the college portal, it doesn't seem like there is much actual research on the matter period. The closest thing I could find is a study indicating that usage of dark mode can cause you to be more honest, which i have saved to read later because that sounds interesting.

What I do know is, I could barely read article 1 and 3 due to the text on the screen. I actually have a headache from the strain of the black text on white background. I really don't understand how people can do that. Like sure white text on black screen can be a pain at times as well but, at least it doesn't give me a headache. It's not like dark mode implementations are white on black, most of them are a white on grey or a grey on black to allow for a lesser adjustment, it's OLED themes that do pitch black with white text. I can do dark theme any day, my eyes hurt with OLED themes
