Don’t forget Britain too. They’re not as poor as Spain and Portugal by a long shot but because they had colonies, their manufacturing didn’t need to be competitive, and when the Germans developed industry, the British couldn’t compete. Still can’t.
That’s not to excuse colonial behaviours but to say that Europe is strong because of it is a misstatement.
It lowers the upfront cost which is what millions of financially illiterate people think of first. $299 biweekly for 96 months! That’s $20 cheaper than XYZ
Never you mind how much extra it costs for radio or heated seats or the horsepower on the sticker.
How much does this cost taxpayers in wasted real estate expenditure and road maintenance and
Ftfa: facial recognition triggered. Staff got notification and approached and ejected the wrong person. The facial recognition in this case is the humans taking action.
It’s still wrong.
Thanks for looking it up. I evidently am incorrect.
Didn’t the Maxwell mod come back to life a few weeks ago?
Edit - no
A: “can you introduce me to JK Rowling? Also remember Julie?”
Epstein: “sure I remember Julie”
(͡•_ ͡• )
Where does it say Epstein is friends with JK?
This is disinformation.
Rowling may be an awful person but she bought the yacht in 2023. He was long dead. The yacht may have been a ferry to his island but she wasn’t the owner at the time, and it wasn’t for hire or a shell company.
There’s no evidence that she approved or was involved in the invite to the show either. Rich people have assistants for this sort of thing; they don’t want to be bothered (on their estate) by some other rich person asking for tickets to a show they had someone ghostwrite.
Yes that’s what measles does. That’s why we have a vaccination. Face, meet leopard.
Nothing natural about drinking another mammal’s milk. The rules these people make for themselves…
“Don’t eat soft cheeses or cured meats, because there’s a small risk it could harm the fetus”
Meanwhile this asshole is out there chugging listeria juice.
Just asking, is there anywhere that doesn’t have food cost issues? I hear about it from many countries. Inflation is bad.
Reinventing the underground, except shittier - again.
I’m no geologist but it seems like a (relatively) easy place to be drilling tunnels. Just looking for a quick headline. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nashville_Basin
That would fall under the scenarios in which you should have your phone locked out.
I could write many reasons but if you can’t immediately see why laying out sheets of plastic over sand and gravel is worse than a lawn i don’t think it’s worth arguing.
For what it’s worth I’m not sure it is better than concrete.
Throw fantasy in a blender and see what comes out.
I mean, he was 15? Not bad. Not good.
On one hand, there’s a lot of people whose jobs can actually be replaced by AI. A lot of office work is just middle managers justifying their existence with headcount that just move paper around desks. There’s a lot of humanities graduates - and science, and engineering, and whatever - that are in bullshit jobs. If I could earn a good living doing trades, I’d switch careers. Too old, and too embedded, and I’m not an entrepreneur. And I work in an engineering/tech space that actually accomplishes stuff.
But AI replacing philosophy, absolutely the hell not. I can’t think of an academic position that can truly be replaced by AI.
Brake fluid, surprisingly, more than cleaner.
Good old pool cleaner acid works too. Or many wheel and tyre cleaners.
The problem is that not enough people care about privacy, but it’s a valid approach. Just need to market it.
One of the challenges I think are the things you can’t notice until you live with a car. How much space does the seat heater actually heat? My old BMW heated quite far up the backrest while Japanese and Korean cars barely warm the lumbar area (and cycle on/off leaving you hot/cold respectively).
How good is the traction control? I have driven GM products shipped on this side of 2020 that only do torque limiting and the abs doesn’t seem to do pay any attention to the rear wheels. The system is very similar to 1980s functionality. Compared to a 2000s smart car, it’s downright dangerous. Does the HVAC work? I’ve had a Subaru (2014) that couldn’t heat or couldn’t cool the car, without having the fans on above normal speaking level (in fact it couldn’t cool the car at 25°C without recirculate on); my BMW on the other hand moderated heat output, heated seats, and heated mirrors based on the outdoor temperature; it was exceedingly comfortable. I never needed to adjust the climate controls.
The cheaper cars have the “features” but the implementation is crappy. It costs money to finesse.
The problem is that most people (as with privacy) don’t notice this. They may note the absence of the small luxuries if they change cars, but it’s difficult to market it, difficult to convince people to spend more on it, and difficult to include in press reviews without being a huge nerd.
