The issue is you have a Tesla

I mean I owned a car from the ages of 18 to 25, never had a claim.

I'm 27 now and looked at getting a car for the odd time I need one and and insurance premiums are an average of £1100 to £1700. Why bother? I'll just continue to get the train

I'll repeat what has been said about COVID consistently on all news sources across the globe.

You can be asymptomatic, not knowing you have it, and spread it. Wearing a mask around people that are vulnerable protects them even if you feel okay.

Masks help preventing spread, they help a little to stop you from catching it but it's more about spread prevention, refusing to wear one because YOU'LL be okay is selfish.

I won't shame you for it, but I am making you aware that you're being selfish.

I started smoking at 14, discovered vaping when I was 19, the first few months I was coughing up black goo, then once cleared my lungs have felt perfectly fine since. I'm 27 now and have no intention of quitting vaping, not for any reason, I just enjoy it. I don't like clouds though, so I've found my self using a vaperesso xros 3 mini and I guess amazing flavour but most important to me I get a nice lovely nicotine hit.

I know I'm addicted to nicotine, but because of vaping I don't find it necessary to quit my addiction, nicotine it's self isn't very harmful in small quantities, so here I am and probably will be until a doctor tells me otherwise.

However, for the majority of people (basically exclude professional gaming) below 10ms will be perfectly fine and not noticeable at all, the importance of 6E wasn't it's speed but it's improvement on more consistent connections, if WiFi 7 can improve on this, it's a benefit to gamers and worth upgrading.

Growth slowing is fine when your economic system doesn't require infinite growth. If we're looking for shrinkage we need to change economic systems... Which I'm personally all for

Services like these combatted convenience not price. It just happened that prices were able to be low whilst these companies could afford it.

Unfortunately due to greed and rising energy costs (but let's face it, it's greed) prices are rising which makes convenience matter less.

And to add to that, having multiple streaming services isn't convenient. Again, this is caused by greed.

As an average person I am just as capable as suing China for data theft as I am Google. I can't do either.

Okay and what's the difference between US companies stealing my data? I'm not American yet American companies are forever stealing my data.

I'll just stop buying anything then

I know it's fun to think "Chinese = bad" but I've had a Huawei matebook D14 for a few years now and it's hands down the best value laptop I've ever owned. It's reasonably spec'd (although is starting to show it's age with only 8gb of ram). The build quality is fantastic, way better then any HP or Toshiba laptop I've owned. And has never had any thermal issues. I took it apart for the first time the other day for a clean and the disassembly was easy, no stupid mismatch of screws just simple. I will definitely buy another when the time is right.
