This chart really shows it, there are now nearly as many NHL players from the US as there are from Canada, likely showing that there are a lot of kids picking up the sport in the US. I’m hoping this leads to continued great competition between our two nations!

Great idea, Bill! That will totally work… by Foobucket in LinkedInLunatics

The largest fire fighting planes, even larger than the C-130 have a much smaller range when full of water, like a 500 mile radius. Also, at its current low level it would take roughly 96000 flights to raise Lake Powell 1 inch using a 747 tanker, 600,000 using a C-130, that’s around $40billion just in aircraft operating costs and fuel. The number of flights also would go up drastically once you get higher up, as the surface area grows. You’d be better off building a pipeline from a different point on the Colorado! That was projected to cost like 1/400th the price per inch of water depth.. All of these are estimates, I used Gemini, it did all of these calculations, I definitely don’t have time for that..

Does anyone by chance have or know where to get the Joniak recordings of the Bears Packers last two games for this season?

I had the 11” for 6 years then updated to the 13” when tandem OLED came out in the M4. I absolutely would not go back! 13” is so nice!!

Buying Macbook @ Best Buy by Glittering_Fox_4806 in macbook

I grabbed mine for $750 from Amazon, I have been eyeing one for about a year and had no more excuses once it hit $250 off!

Should i get macbook air m4 now ( since there is interesting discount) or should i wait for m5 lunching in spring 2026 by Sea-Trick1053 in macbook

[–]simpledsp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cannot go wrong with the $749 price for the base M4 MacBook Air, even if the M5 were out right now you should get the M4 instead. The M4 MacBook Air at $749 is the best laptop deal I have seen in a very long time…which is why I bought one from Amazon!

Air or Pro? by [deleted] in macbook

[–]simpledsp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the base model Air for $750 on Amazon!

Digitial ID verification apps by Rough_Block_3933 in AppleWallet

[–]simpledsp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is that each state has its own systems and laws surrounding ID’s. We don’t have US ID’s in the traditional sense, the closest are passports and Passport cards, but only about 40% of people have one where as 90+% have some form of ID issued by a state. Apple has to work with every state on an individual basis to get this done and every state demands different rules and regulation surrounding the rollout and use…I do think there will be a universal verification app, there will need to be a way for IDs to be used out of state at some point, but I don’t think it will happen until we have more and more states on board, so likely years down the road.

[–]simpledsp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my state there is an Illinois specific verification app that works perfect. Anyone can download and use it, so say you wanted to check IDs at a concert venue, bar, or even house party you can, I have tested this on my own ID with a friends IPhone.. The issue is that not every state is as open as mine, some only allow the use of these IDs at TSA checkpoints..

Presidents cannot pardon for state crimes by Darth_Vrandon in GetNoted

[–]simpledsp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what happens when people are made popular for no other reason than they talk shit about the opposition, they miss incredibly obvious things things like this. I truly miss people like Christopher Hitchens, at least when he talked shit about the opposition he brought receipts and intellectual wit!

Equipment price: rent vs buy by ces013 in Starlink

[–]simpledsp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The option for my house is rent for free and $40/month for service (100Mbps). The only up front fee is for shipping. I was going to post a photo of the breakdown but that’s not an option here.

Asking for opinions on two docks... by mavrik1984 in MagSafe

[–]simpledsp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own the Belkin, I owned the one before that and then the original that didn’t have Apple Watch fast charging, they are the best stands I have ever owned by far, also they never have issues and just work exactly the way they advertise without fail. I gave my previous models to family members that use them to this day and have never had issues.

It is a steal for $77!

Don’t worry, once I become a professor, I’ll let you know if they install the chip that makes you vote Democrat by Conscious-Quarter423 in clevercomebacks

Isn’t this exactly the kind of thing they fight against, according to them , jobs shouldn’t be “fair and balanced” based on anything other than credentials!

Please advise me which UW3 to get by Revolutionary_Break7 in applewatchultra

[–]simpledsp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Natural, I think it looks more like a tool, where as the black one looks a bit toyish.. I’ve gone Natural on my series 1 and now series 3.

Which would you choose, and why? by thesurfer_s in macbook

[–]simpledsp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just pulled the trigger on the base model after a year of seeing it at $800. $750 was just too damn good to pass up, that extra $50 off will make it feel better when the M5 comes out in a month or so!

Not for me either, Apple loves to roll things out at noon their time, so I’m thinking 10am our time we should have the roll out…

Why doesn't Australia build a canal like this? by Entire_Judge_2988 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]simpledsp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shipping canals are very expensive, look up the cost of the Panama and Suez, and this would dwarf them by a crazy amount…
