Meta's next generation of smart glasses, available in the iconic Ray-Ban frames with built-in camera, open-ear audio, and seamless social sharing.

My basic argument is that for every effort made to ruggedize against increased heat, and equal effort should be made to ruggedize against cold.

Because 'fossil' fuels can't hold the line forever. In the long run, Winter is always coming.

... can I assume you were responding to me without quotation?

I get $250 hardware for free, and creating a fake account is not a problem. I'm with you on not appreciating the tentacles. I'll probably watch Alita in 3D again. Wonder when the sequel drops?

In a similar vein, the Halo series is pretty decent. Looking forward to the 2nd season in Feb.

There's a more expensive version with Bluetooth speakers.

I don't believe in or care for any politics. Of course she's saying the Democrats are supporting terrorism and anti-American groups. She's a Republican. And Democrats say the same things about Republicans.

I really don't think these two groups will ever come to an agreement until civil war breaks out and one side ends up exterminating the other.

Only if it can, for the first time in all of history, create a free thing.

I don't like the odds. It's as likely to be unlimited paper clips.
