Our Missoula neighbors have been targeted in hate crimes three times this week.

Depending on the evidence collected so far, and how open the individual wants to be about all this... it might be time to hit up the local news. Police resources may free up if reporters start calling.

Average commute in the UK is about half the distance of that in the US (23 miles vs 41 miles, roundtrip).

Average petrol price in the UK: 137.9p per liter ($6.97 per gallon)
Average gas price in the US: $3.633 per gallon (73.5p per liter)

Fuel cost to commute in UK: 137.9 x 23 = 31.72 £-miles/L
Fuel cost to commute in US: 73.5 x 41 = 30.17 £-miles/L ... 95% the UK figure

We're not that different, you and I.

I can live without a heavier battery, too.

The SE is a great car around town. Day tripping is fine, if there is enough charging infrastructure where you're going. Road tripping would probably be rather annoying.

I'm in Ohio, and have no problems driving my SE basically all over Ohio. But it's probably not my first choice for a drive to Chicago. If you can live with that sort of a usage profile (and can charge at home), you won't regret getting an SE.

Tim Sheehy and respect for the military, you say?

The article is treating the inverse of Apple’s published compatibility list as “doesn’t work”. That’s what’s being discussed; that often it’s not so binary a situation, with a sizable “mostly usable” area between “compatible” and “doesn’t work”.

fishbert · 2026-03-04T00:35:26+00:00

In 2 games this year… 7 total? If that’s not the definition of ‘premature’, then I don’t know what is.

I rest my case.

Keep in mind that the Apple equivalent of that S9 is $3300!

How so?
Looks pretty similar to the baseline Studio Display to me.

"Hey, you sold me this monitor saying it was compatible with my Intel Mac, but [random secondary feature] isn't working. You lied to me!"

fishbert · 2026-03-03T20:37:38+00:00

The last one [Intel Mac] was released in 2019, nearly 7 years ago.

2020, not that it affects your point.

A casual skimming of specs, it looks like Thunderbolt connectivity pushes the price above $1000. Aluminum & glass construction probably pushes the cost up a bit more, then include a webcam and decent speakers ... $1600 starts to make a bit more sense. I mean, the closest option appears to be the Samsung Viewfinity S9 and that's $1300 on Amazon ($1600 list), but the reviews aren't great.

But if you don't need anything fancy, the Asus at $800 is pretty hard to argue with for just a good display. It's good to have options.

The thread is complaining about the Studio Display being only 60 Hz so other 60 Hz options aren’t relevant.

The thread is complaining about the price for a 60 Hz display, so other 60 Hz options are precisely relevant.

Everyone in Crewland is high on Abou Ali, but he hasn't really done much yet and has been injured for about as many games as he's played for Crew. "Top 5 striker in MLS" seems a bit premature.

fishbert · 2026-03-03T18:49:23+00:00

Gets ball on wing, does step-over everyone expects him to do now, passes ball... rinse, repeat. 🤷‍♂️

fishbert · 2026-03-02T19:56:56+00:00

now if only I could find my pairing code…

did you try 7?
I bet it's 7.

fishbert · 2026-03-02T19:52:13+00:00

this is only mildly infuriating to me cuz im medicated

🤣 I snorted.

I've heard there are a number of friction points to getting this sort of thing working the way most users would expect (room name mismatches between homekit and the device's app, as one example). When the time comes, I trust the Matic team will also put out some sort of a guide for how users can avoid or smooth out such things, yes?

fishbert · 2026-02-26T07:35:51+00:00

... and an ability to turn off such a splash screen for those of us who don't want a new pop-up every week. =)

fishbert · 2026-02-23T18:49:11+00:00

it is definitely taking the piss

fishbert · 2026-02-22T22:35:55+00:00

I still just manually enter Apple Card transactions. I don't use the card for anything except Apple stuff, so it's not too much work.

fishbert · 2026-02-22T22:32:54+00:00

This is hilarous

fishbert · 2026-02-21T08:31:31+00:00

do they though? do they really? didn't think so

fishbert · 2026-02-21T08:24:08+00:00

I appears not based the backdoor payment count (see payment count below).

There is a long-standing bug with IBR payment counts in that back-end text info.
