I can only assume OP wants the shop to taxi them home. maybe back when the car is ready? Most fixes on the range of hundreds of dollars take several hours, or days depending on the availability of parts/tools.

Shops fix cars, driving customers is an added value I wouldn’t expect from most car shops. More so, if you committed to pay a few hundreds for a repair when it’s ready, it’s reasonable to assume you have enough money to go home on your own. A bicycle is always an option, though.

His first book (Sapiens) does a great job of showing how frail is modern civilization, though. Its foundation is, like religion, only beliefs.

IIRC Sapiens, Neanderthals and Denisovans coexisted for some time, so it could be not about things that aren’t human, but humans that are different. To this day, xenophobia and ethnocentrism are common attitudes.

I’ve never cleaned my fridge ice maker in 8 years, how much life expectancy do I have?

It’s not so much that they’re billionaires, but what they do to become, and stay, billionaires.

Also, confort for having a higher being supposedly take care of you like your parents did when you were a child. Anything to soothe the loss of infancy.

Yes, the one that got in the top-3 COVID deaths per 100,000 habitants, along with USA and Brazil.

Our current government is guilty of letting 300,000 (officially, 800,000 unofficially) people die because it minimized COVID and refused to implement any significant measures besides improvised hospital beds because its policy is saving money (to recklessly waste elsewhere).

Because medicine shouldn’t become a flea market where you’re gambling your health against profit maximization.

Give pharmaceutical companies a fair price scale where they can profit, don’t let them hyperinflate prices without justification.

It’s not the same if Apple prices their phones at 20,000 USD and you decide you’re buying other brand, pharma plays these extortion games after they have captured enough market/regulation so most people have to pay or stay sick.

It’s like

– Arms dealer: Each tank cost me 500,000 dollars to make. Give me 5 billion for each.

– Let’s negotiate. How about 500 million instead?

– Arms dealer: Fiiine, but only because you’re a good client.

This has no right to be that funny.

iPhone reveal events have become basically:

a) Offering as new what other brands have offered as standard for years.

b) Offering something new that only works if you buy more Apple.

I have an iPhone, and couldn’t wait for the iOS 17 release so I installed the beta. Underwhelming is the right word, the event has no right to be named “wonderlust”.

Why would Apple go through the effort to offer you new features if it can just deny standard features to older/cheaper models so you pony up for a new phone?

The most innovative thing Apple is no longer the iPad/iPhone, by a long shot. Maybe their VR set, but it’s too early to tell.

You’ll only get more extensions, if anything. The current copyright system is an atavism from older, simpler times.

We changed to USB-C ports because the EU forced us we have courage!
