I don't have any data for you, but my own experience owning and racing cars and motorcycles tells me this is not true. Contact patch isn't everything, but being able to load 4000lb on the front tires vs 500lb makes a big difference. A car on a track can blow right by the typical motorcycle braking point coming into a corner


The title says consumption but the graphic says availability. Does availability have a different meaning in this context? Or is this just the amounts of various forms of sweeteners available to a consumer


Some people like buying thoughtfully designed products instead of ghettorigging I guess


There are already non ghetto versions of that. I’m not sure they fold though, but $1000? Damn.


how do you choose what to take? I think he listed every supplement in the aisle


I researched each and chose the ones that sounded relevant to me

I'm not as old as him nor trying to do anti aging. Being >50 has different requirements.

I'm just healthmaxxing


I didn't read it as a grammar correction but much is lost in transcripts


hi, I want these folding phones. Though I took advantage of the ridiculous trade in offers that Samsung usually promotes with. Everything is just nicer on the bigger screen: messaging, browsing, videos, gaming. And that screen is always in my pocket. Can't read the QR code menu at the restaurant? Here, look at my pocket tablet.

The technology is still in an awkward phase but I think slab phones will be obsolete in 5 years


I don't want to have to lug a tablet everywhere, like some fulltime scribe.


I think the idea behind the folding form factor is that you don't have to lug it around, since it's in the same shape as a regular phone whenever you're not using it (and I don't think people consider having a phone in their pocket "lugging it around").


Check out Samsung's zFlip form though. I think if foldables take over the small flip versions will always maintain enough of a market to also exist.


I don't want a crease in my screen, which I've seen on every single one of these used for any length of time.


as a person who has daily driven a fold for almost 2 years the "crease" is a complete non-problem when you are using it. its mostly just people who havent actually used it that complain about it because they heard some influencer complaining about it or they saw a picture someone took of it with a studio light blasting down on it at the perfect angle.


Nothing to do with "influencers", but yes I haven't really used it. My opinion was formed from watching other people's phones who have this and deciding I don't like it, and I'm not prepared to change phones to give it a try on the off chance that I mind not find it an issue.


Then don’t?


Totally agree, especially for the restaurant menu use case even if it's niche. I can have a regular phone walking around folded and just unfold whem I sit down and am ready to consume any kind of media.


I want folding phone too. Question is, at what price.


Google Fi offers a trade-in, and separately a "keep service for 24 months" prorated $700-off deal.


FWIW I went to a Hannah Gadsby show a few years back and that event also had the phone pouch thing. Was she also being pathetic and cowardly?


Maybe, or maybe they're overworked and overstressed and don't have the time or mental capacity to pursue a hobby they would otherwise enjoy


Swiss cheese screws are annoying but trashing Silca's products based on a vague description of screw deformation is both a stretch and a red herring. It's irrelevant to the blatant fraud talked about in that section


Especially given that the article has lots of descriptions about spare parts and servicability.

And assuming that the scammers take any care at all to do the job right when disassembling for fraud.


Also, Silca’s stuff is high end. The supposition was completely off-base.


Sometimes fasteners are deemed single use consumables. Softer metals are used so that it will intentionally deform for a stronger/better mating.


That article was thrilling, thanks for sharing it
