Also possibly a pomegranate, which comes from medieval latin for “apple with many seeds”. Lots of things were called apples in the past, and many languages still do that, like the French words for potato; “Pomme de terre” which means “Apple of the earth”.

Apple just kinda mean fruit, so it’s quite vague.

Maybe the mark is missed for me because no iPhone in existence is marketed as a standard everyday driver. They’re always various levels of “luxury” or “pro”. More comparable to a Lexus or a Lincoln.

It’s also fixed one of the flaws of the original by increasing the time difference. 2005-2024 is a meaningful difference in the market, but 2021-2024 isn’t (unless Apple harped on 2024 specifically for some reason).

A more accurate comparison and one that exposes the weaknesses of the original might be a 2024 BMW vs a 2023 Bugatti, a new upper class car vs a recent top class supercar. Fewer of that argument’s flaws are due to exaggeration and more are presented in the original, which would be a better exposition of truth to satirize with.

I agree, this is poor satire.

You could set up your own cloud, yes, but you could also use only ‘client’ devices, without ever having an off-site computer in the network.

Top half? 0-50°C is the top half. The bottom half is -50-0°C.

Even better, I don’t even feel a fever until it’s 104°F. I’ve just looked it up, and that’s exactly 40°C. Even my body likes round centigrade numbers.

I’ve been using Blokada, and higher in the comments is Mullivad.

Premium only gets a third of the ads anyway. In-video sponsors, Shorts, News, Shopping, Irrelevant search results, Memberships, Data Tracking, and Hidden Dislikes are all still present.

If you want to edit macros in Excel, you’ll see a Vista window. Vista! In 2024!

Trust the process maybe? This post is about the process of science correcting errors after all.

These are fantastic documentaries BTW, highly recommend if you liked Mayday, NOVA, Life, or any long form investigative journalism.

That is one big advantage of being divine, yes.

Even then, curses can complicate matters, and a pantheon without an applicable power will need to endeavor to make a change.

A Greater Foe could argue for a saving throw, especially if it’s against their will. A Gift might not even be enough if the deformity affects their divine soul, which sounds like a good quest hook.

I think the refractory period is a hormone response and not tissue damage/fatigue. It could be ‘healed’ in a similar way horniness, PMS, pregnancy, tiredness (but not the need for sleep), hunger, and moods can be ‘healed’.

It could also be a peripheral autonomic feedback response, in which case it could be ‘healed’ in a similar way to suppressing automatic breathing, bowel movements, automatic reflexes, and possibly the fine tuning of balance.

Such a spell could porobably exist, alongside a suite of other weird spells that were likely developed first, like Calm Emotions or unnamed but almost guaranteed to exist contraceptive spells. Some debuff spells of a unique variety could be quite interesting too, with breathing suppression being the rare effect that would require an intelligence save.

A potion would probably be the cheaper option though; plain old erection juice should suffice.

Hmm, I wonder if this would be better with an unimpressed face looking away vs a ready to pounce face focused towards the words.

There are plenty of arguments for/about various gods that fall apart under basic scrutiny. Apologists still use them all the time, and people who doubts often lap them up.

Put so blunty they do sound like strawmen, but people really argue for these things.

Gun! Unix? Not!

Are the version numbers going to be mm or caliber?

We have made some amazing discoveries with full-sky maps and analysis of the CMB. The human genome project has also yeilded a wealth of discoveries.

Especially considering that PDFs can be just a few Mb, and I doubt people will care if they’re not cached locally.

I’m usually quite particular about labelling axes, but this graph has both axes partially labled, and while the dates are easily inferred, the meaning of the left axis is in the footer, as is the general explanation.
