“Expensive and exclusive” is part of the brand.

That’s why the MacBook Neo is putting up numbers, because it’s expensive and exclusive. /s

IME Apple phones often end up cheaper over the life of the device because they get updates for 5+ years. Not everyone needs a Pro with maxed out specs. They’re hardly exclusive, either; have you seen how common they are? Every other person in the states has an iPhone. They’re often giving them away with cell phone plans. Getting a previous gen iPhone is probably one of the best values because it’s still fast and will be supported for years to come, but it’s significantly discounted.

I think this is a fine strategy for maintaining your weight. However, temporary periods of caloric restriction or surplus is a good strategy for losing or gaining weight. Going on a 500kcal deficit to lose a pound a week is pretty reasonable. Pretty easy to adjust from your maintenance diet by just eliminating a few snacks, cutting down carb portions, or switching some things to low fat versions.

Most all pensions or 401Ks are using index funds of some sort. Nearly everyone is affected by this.

Considering how long AV1 adoption has taken, you probably have a decade before you need to worry about needing AV2 support.

One must simply create Schrödinger’s fuse box.

Wouldn’t an electrical failure of a fuse mean it didn’t pop at the rated current/voltage? I think some testing of the warranty terms is in order.

You’d just need metal for this.

No doubt. Just saying If you’re in the capitalist world, it’s coming to you too.

This has little to do with the country it’s based in and everything to do with the economic system it exists in.
