There’s a post from two days ago saying tomatoes, you weren’t foiled, you just didn’t bother to read the comments before posting.

One of my favourite things about super was to see the original Goku character come back. A goofy and loveable guy that’s a savant when it comes to fighting and just wants a bigger challenge.
Hercule. Not only is he fucking hilarious but without him the fights against Cell and Buu would have been lost.
In the Cell games he showed incredible bravery to throw 16’s head over to Gohan, enabling Gohan to hear the words he needed to go super sayin 2.
In the Buu saga, he befriended a monster, he showed kindness and compassion that was nearly able to end the fight before it even started. This later caused the good and evil buu’s to split. Without Hercule, Goku would not have been able to power up the spirit bomb that finishes Kid Buu.
To be fair, some phones already have that but they have much lower spec cameras/lenses, so it’s currently a trade off.
If a flag ship phone were to find away to implement a flush top spec camera, it would still only be an incremental improvement rather than a great new technology or a substantial innovation.
Yh, I’m not for bailing out companies that are “too big to fail”, I see it as socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor, but that’s a separate debate.
Tech stocks were a interesting case as they bloated far beyond their actual value during COVID, what happened in 2023 was probably somewhat of a renormalization and now they’re back to business as usual. There will always be peaks and valleys, but I’d be very surprised to see tech stocks fail in the long term.
I’m not going to argue that there has been no progress, just that it’s not on the same scale.
Look at the difference between phones from 2004 to 2014, then from 2014 to 2024 and surely you’d have to agree. We’re looking at huge leaps in tech and innovation Vs much smaller incremental improvements.
And I’d once again like to state that this is not a complaint, just a point of view showing that astonishing amounts of technological innovation are not necessarily required to keep companies in business.
On the contrary, I absolutely appreciate it. I was about 15 when mobile phones first became a thing that everyone owned, so I’ve lived through the entire progression from when they were something only a well to do businessman would have all the way through to today. The first iPhone was 2007, 17 years ago btw.
When mobile phones became popular, each new generation of phones saw HUGE improvements and innovation. However, the last ten years has pretty much just been slight improvements to screen/camera/memory/CPU. Form wise and functionally, they’re very similar to the phone of ten years ago.
I understand that some technophiles will always be able to justify why the new iPhone is worth £1600 and if that’s what they want to spend their money on then good for them, but I personally think that they are kidding themselves. Today you can get a brilliant phone for £300 or even less.
In more recent news;
BBC News - Samsung profits jump by more than 900% on chips https://www.bbc.com/news/business-68738046
I agree. Smartphones, for example, have hardly changed at all over the last ten years, but you don’t see Apple and Samsung going out of business.
If you’re going to dump it at the side of the road, why bag it?
It’s worked for me but with a couple layers of insulation tape rather than a rubber band.
Kind of a pointless answer when both sides will view the other as wrong.
I find naming your car to be so cringe. You wouldn’t name your TV or your washing machine. . .
If people followed that there would be no problem.
Unfortunately, the downvote button is mostly used as an “I disagree” / “I don’t like your opinion” button.
Vice versa, I think Reddit upvoted a lot of the same old boring memes/jokes with the idea that maybe they would benefit if they get there first then next time.
Any post related to WWII, Top comment: “I did nazi that coming” 10,000 upvotes.
It’s not that bad on Lemmy but I have noticed an up tick in non helpful very unoriginal jokes in threads with serious topics.
You’re right. Votes need to be used to encourage debate and not used to discourage wrong think.
Down votes should only be used for off topic/hateful/bad faith arguments etc and not just used because “I disagree”.
I know that realistically, that’s never going to happen but it would help!
The apple cider vinegar gets fruit flies but the house flies just aren’t interested.
It’s implied. If I paid for a meat sandwich and I was given a pb&j, I’d be asking for a refund.
I make my own hot sauce, which is chillies (any variety or mix of varieties that you like, I usually have mostly fairly hot with a few absolutely mental ones thrown in to take it to the next level), just enough cider vinegar to get things moving in the blender and about 2% the chillies weight of salt. Blend until smooth. Good hot sauce is sooooo expensive and absolutely not worth it if you can make your own.
I can’t go back to store bought chilli mayo now that I know how easy it is to make.
Add to mayo, hot sauce (to taste) and Cajun seasoning (to taste) and stir until homogeneous. So much cheaper than store bought and better tasting too.
This is an engineering question and engineering questions almost always come down to “do you have enough time and money?”
Since the time scale is two weeks, we only need to know if the Israel had enough resources (bull dozers, wrecking balls, bombs, personnel etc. I don’t have that information, but it doesn’t sound impossible. If a man can be put on the moon, a city could be bulldozed in two weeks.
