  • I’ll bet my left nut that you don’t have a male USB-A to female USB-C adapter that can support fast charging. So you’ll still end up ordering one from Amazon - a local store is unlikely to carry one.

    USB-A to USB-C is the current standard. I am convinced they include a USB-C to USB-C cable because most people don’t have those chargers, so they’ll be more likely to order one with their phone.



  • they do more to mobilize the population.

    Mobilize the population?

    Most of the population doesn’t give a fuck about their country invading Ukraine because they have their heads comfortably in the sand. Those who aren’t ignoring it, either already fully support it or are fully against it.

    “This is affecting me now. I don’t like it” is the more likely response you’d see from the majority. They just want things to be how they were, and them going to the front is the exact opposite of it.

    This “it could anger and provoke the Russians” rhetoric is not rooted in reality.




  • Not the same at all. The previous housing bubble was a result of widespread fraud by the banks. Now, people know very well to look out for that exact thing happening, and it isn’t.

    If there is a bubble right now, which there probably is, it is a speculative bubble. People believe that housing will forever quickly grow in price, so they are willing to pay above reasonable price to not miss out on the opportunity. Which in turn increases the prices further. It’s a self-sustaining cycle, but at some point there won’t be enough capital to sustain it any longer. Can happen in a year, can happen in a decade, can happen tomorrow.
