ford doesn't put any R&D into these, or at least not as a pickup. these are custom builds that aren't representative of what's actually being manufactured and sold by major companies. here's an equally bespoke and ridiculous f450 limo pickup.

even this f650 monstrosity can't tow 80,000lbs. 80k is the max weight for a semi, truck and trailer combined

too many bits of magnetic gunk collect on those for my liking. Not as much of an issue on laptops, but with a phone carried in a pocket all day it quickly became an issue for me

Idk of any phone that had them built in, I just used one of those magnetic usb adapters you find on amazon

Even if they gave us a second usb-c port instead of a 3.5mm jack I'd be fine with that, don't make me choose between charging and decent audio

If they gave us a second usb-c port instead I wouldn't complain so much. So dumb that I have to choose between charging and audio

Big difference between being walking distance from groceries and needing to drive there. Bagging a few days worth of groceries is a lot faster than 2 weeks worth

Takes time to precisely seek to each timestamp, but really I just meant that an hour was reasonable even with a lazy cop doing the search

I'll have you know I sprinkled the first 3 spices I could find on that microwaved dinner, if that's not fine dining I don't know what is. yes the first 2 were salt and pepper, next question

the pills feel about as solid as any others, it's just the foil backing on the blister pack they're meant to pierce through is damn near bulletproof.

oof, I forgot about cutting pills. those cheap pill cutters are absolutely useless. one trick I found for the pills too small to break by hand is to press them over a small wire, something like a small paperclip straightened out. then set the notch of the pill on there and press down on either side with each thumb. finnicky getting them lined up right, but far cleaner breaks than anything else I've ever found. worked better to do them in batches for future use than every time I needed one

I thought this had to be hyperbole, so I did the math myself. I'm assuming human history is 200,000 years as google says, and we want to narrow this down to the second the bike disappeared. also that the bike instantly vanished so there's no partially existing bike.

each operation divides the time left in half, so to get from 200k years (6.311×10^12 seconds) to 1 would take ~42.58 divisions, call it 43. even if we take a minute on average to seek and decide whether the bike is there or not it would still be less than an hour of manual sorting

hell, at 60fps it would only take another 6 divisions to narrow it down to a single frame, still under an hour

edit: to use the entire hour we'd need a couple more universes worth of video time to sort through, 36.5 billion years worth to be exact. or a measly 609 million years if we need to find that single frame at 60fps

the worst are the pills in blister packages where the foil is stronger than the pill itself, so you just end up crushing the pill inside. like I get blister packages are supposed to make it harder to get a ton of pills out at once, but if it forces me to grab scissors anyways that kinda defeats the purpose
