Reply to comment by ben1481 in AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT / XTX review: 4K performance for less | AMD’s top RDNA 3 GPU manages to beat the RTX 4080 in many games at a $200 lower price. But ray-tracing performance is far behind Nvidia. by chrisdh79
I never denied any of that.
But at this point in time it ain't worth a price premium.

I was pre empting the "cops arrive on scene immediately" comments.

Yeah safari integration is adblock only, but you can just use FireFox on its own and it'll sync. If you want to use FF as your default browser you can do that too

Never wait on an ambulance. Saw this on Quora last night posted by a cop, made some great points:
The average Ambulance in America takes 8 minutes to arrive but in many many places its more like 15 or 20. If your loved ones life is on the line do the mental math. Can you get them to the ER before an Ambulance can get here? If someone I know is dying they're getting thrown in a vehicle and driven to the closest ER turning corners on two tires in almost every conceivable circumstance. This is what Cops do when other Cops get hit. I have never seen or heard of a shot/stabbed St Louis City Cop arriving at the Trauma Center in an Ambulance. The nearest Cop throws you in the back seat and then does some of the scariest driving you will ever see or hear tell of to get you to the ER. If Grandpa suddenly has chest pain and trouble breathing…don't walk him to the bedroom…walk him to the front seat of the car. You will be halfway to getting him to the ER by the time you could have finished describing what is going on and where to 911, let alone waiting for them to be notified, get to the rig and drive to you (then talk a lot and finally drive him to where?...the ER you could have been at 10 minutes after the event started instead of 45 minutes with EMS).

Honestly, those falls calls and transport calls taking people to dialysis we’re favorite ones to deal with because of that reason. At least you’re providing a service.
And yeah, if you’re telling people they don’t need an ambulance ride you’d be fired lol

Electricity in the UK is also 3X higher than in Canada/US.

Addams Family pinball selling for 10k is not surprising. But 15 years ago it was not junk, it would’ve sold for probably 4k-not an amount I would ‘toss in the bin’

Oh, cool. I didn't know Safari had an adblocker, that's pretty neat. I still don't think that solution allows for Firefox w/ adblocker, which is what I use on desktop / android, so I'd want my data to sync.

You can download FireFox and integrate the adblocker into safari (unless we're talking about two different things/situations)

And that's just the electricity. The cost of water is the biggie there.

Yes we had limited quarters and were forced to learn to make the most of them ! I was never that great but when I recently went to a bar with retro games , I beat the high score !! That deeply embedded fear that it would be over if I died again kicked right in 😂

You can’t seriously be crediting Apple with “tech heroism” and expecting people to take you seriously in the same comment right? You’re missing an “/s”, right?

Also reposting a reddit story on reddit laundered through a magazine who has financial interest in "good" Apple news seems like the real point is to get me to click that link.
