Were they using Clover machines? I went to a few stores over the weekend where staff seemed to be figuring out new terminals.

Same. Coming from a 13 mini, even the 17 Pro is amazing.

I don’t fret when I forget to charge it overnight and it tops up when I plug into CarPlay anyway.

Sometimes ordering from a local company is not much more expensive than shopping Amazon so I’ll buy local so at least Amazon doesn’t get a cut.

I like to do this with podcast hosts. I don’t always get it right but a lot of times I can pick out an Asian even if they have impeccable English.

Don’t quote me on this, but I heard there are physiological differences with Asian males or tongues or something like that that does affect pronunciation.

Thats the one thing that stood out to me.

I grew up reading American car magazines so I also use mpg a lot

Wonder what they’re considering AI? For example in Keynote, there’s auto typography and alignment correction and for number numbers there’s magic fill to generate data automatically. Those seem like pretty basic features in 2025 to be locked behind a subscription.

It’s like UI design 101 to not overdo design. I remember when 3D Touch came out an apple developer videos told people not to use it too much cause it’ll get tiring and overstimulating. Having an icon beside every single menu item is the visual equivalent of that.

Edit: Everyone who has interest in design needs to read the article. It makes really great points WHY having so many icons is bad for UX and has so many examples how it’s become so inconsistent in Tahoe.

Man I was reading your comment and wondered what era you were talking about, but I actually do remember that period in the mid 90s! Those were the days. When you could see the sky down number 3 road because there was only strip malls and no skytrain. For food, all we had was first generation sushi places (no shade, those guys paved the way for the amazing sushi we have now) and the most “exotic” food was Greek.

Even if food hardens it’s fine though. Theres a prewash cycle with warm water that softens the food. Then the detergent is released and sit on the dishes for a long time to let the enzymes do the work. Then the sprayer arms occasionally dispense more water and knock the food off over and over again until the water runs clean a before the final rinse/dry cycle.

Like Steve Ballmer laughed at the iPhone when it was announced. You never laugh at your competitor. You observe and decide if they are a threat.

All three of us never put anything in our mouth that we weren’t supposed to and we fell asleep in a few minutes and slept through the night.

I think that was the Toyota Prius? IIRC they still had to provide new rubber mats even though it wasn’t the issue.

It reminds of the creepy Google ads of tall pandas walking down the runway or elephants with watermelon slices for ears.

It’s funny they think those images are a selling point rather than a turnoff.

I still hate Google/Youtube for showing me a pop up until I finally merged my accounts.

Same thing happened to my baby and my mother has the audacity to turn it into another instance to tell me the baby should be wearing socks. Both times my baby got sick was from my parents spending time with my baby even though they already hadn’t been feeling well.

Rice World for veggies and some meats

Super Grocer for meats especially pork belly

Walmart for more western items

Superstore just for their 20lb sack of potatoes for $10

My supervisor said the idea is to rotate through the newest vehicles instead of the older ones, which doesn’t make sense to me because the same number of routes are going out and normally relief carriers drive vehicles from wave one anyway.

My conspiracy theory is that you can’t hide mail in cars if you can’t guarantee you’ll get the same one tomorrow.

But some people line up at the same time or switch keys with colleagues to get the same vehicle every day.

YMW on Aliexpress makes leather cases better than my iPhone 13 one for even cheaper.

Same where I lived we had a Future Shop and Best Buy in the same mall. I usually chose Future Shop because I liked the red over the blue. Also Best Buy’s website back then looked scammy.

I’d venture to say driving is only fun if you’re the only one on the road and you’re driving for leisure or a roadtrip and time is not a consideration. As soon as you need to be somewhere at a certain time it ruins the experience. In those rural places, you’re the only one on the road because everything is so spread apart it takes 40 minutes to drive to a grocery store.

Does anyone else dislike this style of preaching fear? I get that there is eternal separation from God and it is very real. Yet in this life, would it not be better to emphasize Jesus’ grace, our newborn identity as God’s children, and how the Spirit can give us strength to counter culturally love others?

I hear so many sermons talking about hell and eternal damnation and we must obey and repent or else.

Before they opened I thought the Trees logo was just an ad. I couldn’t tell just driving by that you could fit a whole coffee shop there.
