I had tile many years ago. Back then and this may have changed all you could do was make the tile thing beep. Which isn’t very helpful if some child stuffed your keys into the sofa or you left you wallet in the car. Air tags actually lead you directly to your stuff. They don’t just beep. They say your thing is 15’ that way. As you get closer the feet count down. That proximity thing is all I use.
I put air tags on all my shit. I have an air tag on my wallet. I have an air tag on my keys. I even hid an air tag in my pc so that if it’s ever stolen I can hopefully track it down. I have an air tag on my tv remote.
They have literally changed my life. Living with 3 other people. One of which is severely autistic and will pick up things and set them down under the sofa or some such nonsense. I spend a lot less time being angry. Air tags are the best thing that Apple ever invented.
iPhone is ok, but I miss my HTC touch pro 2. Apple Watch is superfluous junk. Air pods pro? Pshhhhhh whatever! Air tags, they will change your fucking life man.
I didn’t read the whole article. I just wanted to point out that the article says 450 silos. That’s 450 icbms. Each one of those has several nuclear warheads on it. Also that doesn’t take into account all the other kinds of nukes we have. Like the ones on submarines, and airplanes, and nuclear mortars. Okay, someone feel free to correct me on this but I think we got rid of the nuke mortars.
According to the government. The US has around 3,750 nuclear warheads. If memory serves me correctly that’s enough nukes to destroy life on earth about 37 times over.
I posted most of this comment from memory. Please do your own research as my memory is shit, and feel free to correct me.
I appreciate the reference.
George Carlin was ahead of his time.
I’m very well aware what the federal reserve is, and what it does. But, previous to the federal reserve banks printed their own money. The further from that bank you got the less that dollar was worth because it became a huge pain in the ass for a bank to transfer the required assets from far away.
So, if I had a dollar printed in Birmingham, Al. Then I caught a train to California, but not that far was required. That dollar was damn near worthless. Because the bank in California would have to have the bank in Al to send them a dollar worth of “assets”. It was ludicrous.
I agree that the federal reserve is A problem. It is one of many problems. But to blame the federal reserve for the problems plaguing the poor is incredibly narrow minded, and a weird hill to die on. After all we have enough money to spend on tons of other things that certainly seem superfluous. The “federal reserve” hasn’t eaten the money for those projects. From a multi-trillion dollar war on terror to giving out millions to people for ppp loans for farms that don’t exist.
So, keep on with this federal reserve nonsense. Yes the fed sucks, but it wasn’t really better before they came along. Just different. While we still have money to spend. We just “choose” to spend it not helping poor Americans, because that doesn’t play into our narrative of “if you work hard enough you can be whatever you want to be”.
If you’re lucky enough to live close to a charity hospital you get normal healthcare. Otherwise you have to rely on the emergency room. Which only gets you help if you’re dying.
If you aren’t dying, but it’s bad they’ll send you to a specialist. That specialist will charge you basically a co-pay to see them. Here it’s $60.
But I wasn’t just talking about healthcare. Homelessness, drug addiction treatment (which should be healthcare but in America is separate), food help, mental health.
The bankers only have the power they do because they’ve paid for the US government.
That’s the thing. The USA is doing fine. The dollar is the world’s currency. The USA is the worlds police. If the USA fails we all go down. If the USA’s military stops militarying we all go down. Global trade stops. The Western world’s functioning, largely depends on the USA doing well.
It’s a large portion of the USA’s population that isn’t doing well. Which for a country as rich and powerful as the USA shouldn’t be a thing. But, that’s a feature not a bug. See, if they keep us hungry, and desperate then they save money on social services and have cheap labor and soldiers.
Back when Obamacare was being figured out. Some top military official said that if we gave free healthcare to all Americans no one would join the military. I can’t find it anywhere now. But, it was all over the news when it happened.
Just drag them out of the environment.
