I agree 100%. Public transport is the only sensible approach to getting people to stadiums. If it were my choice I wouldn't provide parking at the venue at all.

Parking garages costs a lot more than surface parking. And the amount of traffic which can leave is limited by the surrounding roads, not by the exits.

Edit: I'm not saying this is a good thing. I'm saying it's the reasoning of the people who build stadiums.

Recycled plastic is also inferior quality with worse structural properties so it's not really suitable for many applications.

That's absolutely not true. Bluetooth has many "profiles" which define different capabilities. Here's a list of them. These are all defined in the official bluetooth standards.

Maybe you were thinking of the "core specification" which defines the underlying protocol but doesn't define the profiles? But that's just the way they broke up the spec documents. The profiles are still official parts of bluetooth.

Apple's proprietary extensions for audio are not part of any official specification though.

Can we just have a bridge that detects MAGA trucks and ditches them then?

It's certainly the one most likely to shank you if you step on it. Beyond that I'd rank it as the least space efficient plug. I honestly think it's the worst design I've seen.

"But it has built in fuses", I hear all the Brits say. This isn't the advantage you think it is. Why not put the fuses in the actual appliance with all the other components where it makes more sense to put them?

A lot of larger companies like Compaq etc. were making "respectable" PCs by then and selling them in big quantities in direct competition to IBM.

If a comment is funny to the person giving it and offensive to the target it's not a joke, it's just bigotry.

C++ can do a lot of things but one thing it can't do is perform as poorly as python.

There's a reason why no-one bought IBM PS/2s. They were horrible value for money.

The real competition at the time was the thousands of other brands selling PCs. By that time IBM was plummeting in sales and other companies were selling most of the PCs. That's where 95% of the market was.

Samsung offers a lot more models so they tend to have a higher high end and a lower low end than Apple.

They took them in 2020 while they were pulling out of Russia, not recently.

 

Ok, this is mainly just to see if there's anyone else here. But what's your favorite bass line to play?
