I don't think anyone actually cares about washing machines on sundays, as long as they're not running after 22:00 ... though YMMV based on how anal your neighbors are and how much they hate you.
Also, fuck lawn mowing and leaf blowing in the morning. And all those assholes who accelerate their cars and motorcycles loudly for fun.
To that end, I want to compare my 'mons stats and see what I need to improve. Back in the day my rationale for team composition was “who looks cool?” without much thought to strategy other than the occasional type advantage for gym battles.
IMO that's still the best way to pick your team, unless you're doing PVP. If you're willing to grind levels to beat the last bosses, at least ... I played at least one pokemon game until I had to fight four actually good trainers (varied teams, with the full 6 slots filled) in a row.
TBH that's pretty much my main issue with Pokemon, most of the fights are piss-easy because the NPC trainers don't use even the most basic strategies such as "have a full team" and "don't do single-type teams". Then (at least with the older titles), the elite 4 come in and kick your ass all the way to next week. I hate it when games are inconsistent like that ...
NEET is people who actively do not pursue employment, aren’t in school, and who refuse to work at all. Most often they are just young people who are totally dependent on their families/parents. Sometimes they are just rich people who don’t have to work and fuck around. Often they are socially isolated and don’t have active social involvement with anyone.
NEET literally means "not in employment, education or training", it's just not usually used by people who are short-term unemployed, have a socially acceptable excuse (e.g. "housewife") or fit into other well-established categories like "homeless".

Lots of NEETs are older. They might end up on the streets if they don't have a family that is able and willing to care for them, but homeless are still NEET (unless they are working while homeless, which is actually a thing). Homeless just aren't usually visible online.
I doubt that's the point, I'd assume that being anti-car is already a popular stance among the anti-AI crowd. It feels more like an attempt to use shitty math (conveniently ignoring the cost to train an LLM) to make LLMs appear like a non-issue.
IDK about "one off". Information quickly becomes outdated, you need to continually feed a general AI model new information to keep it useful for most of the purposes that are being advertised currently.
Sweat is a perfectly normal process, though. Being able to sweat a lot and having it evaporate quickly (little bodyhair compared to most other mammals) is one of humanity's big evolutionairy advantages.
I don’t think it would make much sense to keep tonnes of batteries in storage for so long.
What if you, the phone manufacturer, want to sell more phones? I assume they only need to store enough batteries to be able to meet the actual demand, which won't be high if the replacement batteries are crap or if it's prohibitively hard to change the batteries as an end user, or if most of the phones break before the battery.
Based on the last time I tried to change my phone's battery: Replaceable batteries only make a difference if there are actually new batteries being made for your model, a replacement battery that's been stored in a warehouse for about as long as your phone is old doesn't help. For increasing your phone's lifespan anyway, you can still use a second battery to increase the time between charging on a day-to-day basis, if replacing the battery is something easy you could do every day without damaging the phone.
Might depend on the specific battery tech, though.
Consider that the UK is becoming more and more of a surveillance-state, though. I doubt that "store clerk 'forgets' to check for ID" is going to stay a thing.
I'm not saying that a black market won't exist, but it's going to become more like buying "hard" illegal drugs is today, i.e. much harder than for drugs that are currently legal for all adults.
Absolutely is when you're shopping in Germany.
