Every time I’ve purchased a phone until the most recent one.

No, Apple used to sell the unlocked phones for exactly the same price as the locked phones. Some of the carriers would sometimes offer discounts, but that was up to them. The unlocked price was the advertised price.

I found out recently that Apple now charges more for phones if you buy them unlocked. The advertised price is the locked price. They didn’t do this in the past. It’s insane.

They also don’t let you take advantage of certain things if you buy unlocked…don’t remember exactly what it was, I think it was the 0% interest over 24 months using an Apple Card. I had use a workaround by purchasing online and picking up at the store. Took like 3 or 4 visits to the store to get this figure out. PITA.

Thanks. My plan would be to drive somewhere in eastern Washington. For light and cloud cover.

This is the first I’ve heard of that index, but apparently 6 still indicates a magnetic storm.

Did he get the rabbit?

It would be cool to have two versions of this graph, one in descending order of per capita income (like this one), and one in descending order of median rent.

….at the risk of saying something stupid, and recognizing that it’s been several years since I’ve been to Whistler, I’m pretty sure you can’t see the ocean from the top of Whistler Mountain (or anywhere on it). Certainly not most of the time, but I think never.

Do you know the name of the trail?

The human is looking at the cat with affection. The cat is looking at the human to calculate the exact moment it wants to slap her across the face.

We could just make it from stuff on earth. Combustion creates water.

How much are they paying you?

Yes, we get what you mean. I’ve seen quite a few between Tacoma and Olympia too.

I have a secret to tell you: plants have been used to create buildings for thousands of years.

Seems like there might be some unintended consequences.

“Flailing” with Twitter? What flailing? And it’s not a national joke… where do you get that?

Tesla is doing absolutely fine when it comes to sales.

No indication of one, as far as I can tell.
