Foxconn, a major manufacturer of Apple devices, has been excluding female candidates from assembly jobs at its flagship Indian smartphone plant because they are married. Both companies’ codes of conduct state that workers shouldn't be discriminated against on the basis of marital status....
Wait… I thought Apple left China because of slave(ish) labor reasons. But are still using Foxconn which is a Chinese company?
Ah found this:
“Like many of its competitors, Apple has relied on China for assembling its products for years. But political and economic factors have forced the company, as well as the broader tech sector, to rethink that approach by seeking partners from across the region.”

You can take the production out of China, but not China out of production…all for ‘optics’.
Ah, my bad- so it is. To be honest all I’ve ever heard about the Foxconn iPhone factories in china is them using Chinese semi slave labor run by Chinese people.
I guess taiwan number one China is still a bit shady at times...
You can also spam the power button on IOS. It should pop up the same menu as holding the power button. You can cancel, but it requires a password to get back into the phone.
apparently my city literally literally banned public rail funding, and people online love jerking off about how good biking is, so i figured might as well try. I have come up with:...
don’t dress like an ‘annoying dork’- unless that’s your vibe, no need to change anything to ride a bike.
you don’t ‘have’ to wear a helmet. Though there are some less bulky, big, or wherever this cons comes from. Probably best to wear one.
no need to go fast and work up a sweat, or e-bike as other have mentioned. There may be financial rebates available. Other commuter tips include: bring extra clothes, and wet wipes to clean up once getting to.
until a matter transporter comes along, it takes time to go anywhere.
you get to find new routes. Find new shops, new neighborhoods, new parks. Feel like a part of you community. Not locked in a metal box or tube.
bone conduction headphones, or other non noise canceling headphones
there are bikes, racks and bags in any combination that can carry all sorts of groceries.
no bad weather, only bad gear. I’d say heat of summer is worse than winter.
Many may be victims of a legal system that incentivizes recidivism and bullshit laws.
For profit prisons need bodies to get federal cash, plus the cash from the underpaid labor the prisoners provide.
I’m sure it would cost the government less to implement social programs that help nurture and support everyone than to continue to subsidize and pay private prisons.
I have no proof of anything. But saying most don’t want to change seems hyperbolic and dog whistle-y.
A very small minority are probably wired wrong and are indeed unchanging in their ways, I’d say the vast majority were set up to fail for profit.

I enjoy seeing the evolution of our fashion all in one friend group- high waisted jeans from the 90’s to the jinco jeans of the early 2000’s. It’s fascinating.

I plan on riding bike for often and while I have invest and will continue to invest in the typical security measures (D lock, wheel lock, etc.).

I do the same. I’d add; make it a little more difficult/ time consuming to take than the next one. I use a chain lock and a u-lock for different bits of the frame. Hopefully a potential thief doesn’t want to spend twice as long on my bike and leaves it alone.
