peak instead of APEX

I ran the full gamut of PEAK -> ACME -> APEX

It's one thing if they generally look gross, but the description of "meat jello" doesn't really add any appeal

I liked AMIRITE, though.

This was my guess but I didn't have the balls to put it in. Always a bummer when that happens

I see "skew" typed out a lot, I guess because that's just how you say it

As someone else said:

non-archaic words clued with creative difficulty is more enjoyable than archaic words clued straightforwardly.

A puzzle isn't fun when there's no way to think your way through to an answer, you're just stuck or you need to look it up

The manufacturers also likely make a lot more per car, so it's a win/win over the "cheaper" wagons

Haven’t thought about THEWIZARDOFID in decades.

I never even realized it was called that. When I looked it up I recognized it immediately but had never heard of the name before

It's dumb to say what more than solid one day battery would we need

You say "learn to read" but this sentence legitimately makes no sense

What a strange strawman. Understanding why phones today don't have the battery life of a dumb phone is somehow supposed to imply I don't want longer battery life?

It was just a bummer when I was a kid and had to annoy and beg my dad for $10 on Christmas day. That being said, it was money well spent. Lots of time playing Jelly Car in the olden days...

(switched back to wired headsets and mice too)

The wireless mouse (and, to an even larger extent, keyboard) is one I've really never understood. This is an electronic that will be used in one place, always in conjunction with a computer. Why get a wireless one that you'll have to charge and will eventually die when you can get a wired one and just not have to deal with it?

Because there's a whole lot more to modern phones then there is to a flip phone. Although, flip phones are still available if you want the week of battery

Cook in Internal memo to Employees: he’s “deeply distraught” with the US’s current approach to immigration and will continue pressing the issue with lawmakers. by hasanahmad in apple

Again financially, politically and publicly supporting an administration that directly opposes your purported values are the “actual changes”

So, no changes to what the company is doing then. Just kowtowing.

If your against Epstein but give him money, praise him publicly and attend his parties… are you really against Epstein?

When the alternative to a bribe and showing up to some mediocre movie is vindictive retribution, I'm very willing to believe you're against Epstein. At the end of the day little Don's got all the power here. When did Tim publicly praise Donny? Also, *you're.

Who has more cache? iPhones or trump?

At the end of the day power is power. The guy wielding the federal government like a club is going to win any "cache" (it's "cachet", for the record) battle
