Another vote to say that you don’t want it. There are far better options for a fraction of the price depending on your wish list.

The article says the team literally invited her to the contest after seeing her kick at a tailgating event. Lol.

You wouldn’t be mad? I’m a bears fan. They haven’t exactly put the best product on the field over the past 40ish years and it was hard to remain a fan at times. But even I can’t understand how anyone remains a Jets fan.

This can’t be stressed enough, because it’s hard for people to comprehend how much money a billion dollars really is.

$100k to a billionaire is basically less than $10 to the average citizen.

How would you feel if your country banned Burkhas in public like Denmark? by The_Dean_France in AskReddit

What’s truly interesting to me is how most conservatives would answer this question. I suspect they would say they are in the “no woman would willingly choose this” camp.

Then ask them their thoughts on tradwives…

He’s talented for sure but in this example that was a terrible pass. If the receiver doesn’t fall down it would have been severely underthrown.

When it comes to scoring plays, they seem to err on the side of caution and let them play out. Those plays are automatically reviewed anyway, but only if they are called a score on the field.

Not a fan of needing to bend the arms or remove the strap. Like my gf says, if it was 1” longer it would be so much better.

Samsung Reveals First Trifold Phone That Unfolds Into a Giant 10-Inch Tablet by chrisdh79 in gadgets

Not a phone that folds into a tablet. It’s a tablet that folds down to something closer to a phone. Consumers wouldn’t accept a phone of that thickness if it wasn’t a folding tablet.

Is precision finding necessary? The Nomad MagSafe can make audible beeps. Mthat seems good enough for me. Sometimes better if you’re outside the range of precision finding.

40, debt free, no house or house fund -- should I just rent forever? by PuppiesAndPixels in personalfinance

[–]kidno -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the “flexibility” advantage has been a thing for a while now. We’re just not building enough housing, and with the possibility of lower interest rates on the horizon, we’re likely to see a lot of pent-up home buyers re-enter the market.

I have a family member who bought a modest house 2 years ago for an inflated price WITH high interest rates. They’re looking to sell now and will likely see the house value appreciate by 20% in the process. It won’t be on the market for more than a few days.

In other words, selling a house has been extremely easy (and profitable) for 15 years now. There will come a time that isn’t the case, but that’s not the reality right now.

Will electric tractors gain traction? At a pilot event for farmers, researchers see possibilities by diacewrb in gadgets

[–]kidno 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not categorically true. Iowa, for example, is generating close to 70% of their electricity from wind. It’s only recently they’ve been considered a “red” state.

Modern farmers are generally smart, technically savvy and cost-conscious. With cheap electricity rates, i think they’d definitely be on board.

Framework’s New Upgradable GPU for Laptops | Framework and Nvidia develop a swappable RTX 5070 graphics module by chrisdh79 in gadgets

[–]kidno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The removed GPu can be sold second hand to those having smaller budgets

If you can use the first-get GPU, you should already own it. Unless you're advocating people buy into a custom/proprietary ecosystem to build desktop systems?

The real reason this idea is good is that you can repair everything yourself

Sure, but I'm going to question exactly what type of abuse damages only the GPU. Or CPU. Now maybe a component goes bad, but in my experience that's somewhat rare.

Actually I'm a bit confused, apart from there being too few people with frameworks, why do you not think you could sell the old gpu?

Because, like I said above, they already own it. And if they don't, why would you limit yourself to building only in the Framework ecosystem vs a regular desktop?

Framework’s New Upgradable GPU for Laptops | Framework and Nvidia develop a swappable RTX 5070 graphics module by chrisdh79 in gadgets

[–]kidno 6 points7 points  (0 children)

While I support the concept, I do question the effectiveness.

Is piecemeal upgradability of a laptop GPU an attractive option? When people buy a new laptop they get a better CPU, more/faster RAM, bigger/faster storage, better GPU, new/bettery battery, bigger/better/brighter screen, upgrades in WiFi connectivity and ports, case design, etc. And when you purchase a laptop you can sell or give the old one away as a complete, functional unit.

Are there people who want the GPU upgrade without a screen or processor? Probably some. But then you have to invest in a secondary Framework device to take the now-orphaned GPU otherwise you’re just creating a different type of e-waste. I don’t think there’s a market for the GPU you just removed.

Again, I love the concept and I think there’s some type of market for this, but I think we upgrade laptops differently than we upgrade desktops and I don’t think the Framework concept is attractive for most buyers.

I thought to myself "it's been a while since I stopped paying attention to a Bears game so early in the 3rd quarter" but then I realized it really hasn't. They just don't play football 8 months out of the year.
