Difference between iPad and iPad Pro is almost none now so I think this years iPad pros will bring Face ID to stand out. Maybe even oled screens. 
Still in love with 2017 iPad Pro which is so speedy in launching apps n regular use. 

The display on the the Pros is still far better quality - color gamut, etc.

did it hit a cyclist too?

the video talks about the bicyclist being hit, the article talks about a pedestrian jaywalking.

i am still trying to wrap my head around how the person sitting behind the wheel allowed this to happen...

Sure, but my Yamaha stereo with two nice Mirage speakers sounds better. And that setup cost the same as a Home Pod.

It's just too expensive. This is an accessory, it can't cost as much as a full-blown iPad. And everyone knows it.

If you can't do it $199, don't do it. It's not like someone was forcing them to sell one.

What is the footprint of your system? 

I have a pair of M-Audio AV-40s hooked up to my U-turn turntable, and it sounds wonderful, but i don't pretend that it is a setup that has the same audience as a pint sized device that is smaller than one of my speakers, let alone a set of speakers & receiver/amp.

As we all know, size is one of those elements that affects price.

My reasons for not jumping on it have more to do with the "connectivity"... i do not want my locks, lights, outlets, refrigerator, etc wired to the internet.

I would assume that this cannot be repaired on site. I am also confident that these panels are 100% custom and not in stock at Lowes. Probably just lead time to get replacement panel in and then pane properly replaced...thoughts?

definitely the case.

all commercial glass is "custom" (ie you cannot cut this glass down to size, it is always manufactured to the specific dimensions.)
so they are waiting for the replacement.

probably also some argument as to who is paying for it as well.
eating that one piece could be a large chunk of the glazier's profits.

was the glass smacked by another trade? was it an edge defect? and installation issue? did someone pop the trim off & put it back on wrong?

finishing wood with oil is a relatively common occurrence - i have multiple wood surfaces in my house that are only oiled. I know people whose wood floors are finished only with oil.

That being said, if this is only happening on oiled surfaces & not lacquered wood surfaces, then the people it is happening to should know better.
I know the feet of my Kitchen Aid stand mixer will leave marks until the next time i oil my counter, i know pill bottle can leave a deep black ring.
The benefit of having a "living" finish like oiled wood is that i like the look & i can fix its appearance relatively easily.
