The Pixel Tablet can run GrapheneOS, which is the best stock Android alternative IMO

Great project, just donated
The US has a pretty severe urban / rural divide in most of its states, but I don't think it's enough. You'd usually need a pretty clean split along territorial lines for that.
Bald. Being bald looks cool, no shame in it whatsoever.
Long walks, swimming and playing drums
Minus the sandboxing and security improvements, apparently
I could handle an overpriced phone if the device were viable for day-to-day use. Unfortunately the battery life is so compromised that even if we had a totally flawless mobile OS running on it, it still wouldn't work out as a phone.
In this case it's better to think of it as a development platform.
You could argue that China has devolved into a totalitarian state under Xi. There's a lot of corruption surrounding the party's Ministry of Railways, which has led to some perverse incentives to invest (possibly way too much) in HSR and urban metro networks across all of the country. And thanks to the extremely centralized power structure, you have a lot of standardized components used to roll out those networks, making construction cheaper and faster due to economies of scale.
Tldr; China's rail infra is pretty great, especially when so many of its cities are very rough around the edges otherwise. That said, East Asia's democracies (Taiwan, S. Korea and Japan) also have excellent transportation networks, so who knows.
Will try that out, thanks! I've enjoyed the Libby app a lot on an old ipad mini, bet they have a similar infinite scroll feature somewhere
Haven't listened to any, but think I'd have a hard time hearing someone talk for that long. Really enjoy the silence of books
Not knowing what I want out of life. Including whether to break off the nine-year, kind of dysfunctional relationship I've been in (neither option feels good).
