I'm in London. I cycle to work and use the tube network and bus network whenever I can. I also have a private car which I use for trips where public transport or my bike is impractical. It's a 2016 model, I expect that it may need replacing in 5 years time. If I took the cartoon at face value, I might think it makes no difference from a climate chang perspective whether I choose petrol or electric - and this is clearly wrong.
I think enabling the functionality would require too much back-office and vendor integration to make it a feasible lie. Too many people would know about it - and the risks from lying and saying 'not enabled' are too great.
If they had been enabled - and found out - the recommended lie would be "we are currently undertaking a small-scale trial of the technology to assess it's effectveness. We will be report on the results early next year as part of a wider public consultation into it's wider deployment". (Why yes, I have worked in public sector comms).
The dog then walked down the hall to see Bob Shumaker, whose room he enters in the middle of the night to wake the sleeping 84-year-old by pressing his wet snout against Shumaker’s sleeping face
Go and have a chat with them. Perhaps as a half joke buy them a really nice pair of slippers for Christmas.
As an aside, I did once share an upstairs flat with a woman who had a prosthetic leg. We had wooden floors. The people downstairs were not amused, though she tried to move around as quietly as possible
I've always worn a watch. I got myself a smartwatch when my kids kept insisting on texting me, while I was cycling home - usually while I wasa half way up a hill. Much better than rummaging to get my phone only to find it was some bit of nonsense.
Subsequently bought an Apple Watch 4 which I still have today and wear daily. I find it very sndy for reminders, as a fitness tracker and like the Apple Maps haptic direction prompts
It sounds like a very useful, beneficial application - though as a Be My Eyes volunteer, I'm a bit sad that my chances of being useful will drop even further.
I've also noticed my ability to taste salt is pretty shot.
That's really interesting - for most people it is the nasal receptors that are included - lost of "taste" is actually lost of smell. I'm not sure I've head of someone losing salt, sweet, soutr or bitter.
