got rid of my ex wife

I agree, but there is just too many who are late t9 the oarty and just wouldn get it.

¯ _(ツ)_/¯

EDIT: I wonder why the backslash doesn’t display

Could a kind soul ELI5 this? Well, maybe ELI8. I did quite a bit of programming in the 90-00s as part of my job, although nowadays I’m more of a script kiddie.

I’m more inclined to think that they weren’t willing, but rather that they just didn’t work on the implications. Occam’s razor. Don’t assume evil when stupidity, or laziness, or simple plain cost cutring can explain things.

Why is this fucker exposing my IP?

Container ships, especially large ones, are significant contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, comparable to the emissions of 50 million cars.

West Taiwan? Seriously ? When did mainland Taiwan become west Taiwan?

Without De minimis you would need a customs structure say, a hundred times larger, or more, I dont have the figures, but it’d be ridiculous.

Also, it would make people buy from the big importers, who would have the capacity to process many shipping containers in one go, and these would have it easier to impose the prices they want, since consumers woulnd be able to source from overseas. De minimis makes a lot of sense.

Antivaxer DeNiro, sometimes enabler of Robert Fucked-up Kennedy, complicit in putting I don’t know how many thousands of children in peril, lauded for supporting one…

Not only that, they don’t have the production ability to fullfill 5% of China’s requirements for single aisle jets. Ryanair would be very far down the queue. It’s a classic O’ Leary bullshit announcement.

COMAC is aiming to increase production of the C919 to 75 planes a year. Airbus is aiming to increase production of the A320 to 75 planes a month

Not really. Airbus is working on several new designs, and these assembly lines could be repurposed. It’s a pretty riskless investment. Airbus wants to be able to ramp up production, but that is very, very hard to do. building and equiping the factory is the easy part. You have to train people in very complex and specific skills, create seniority scales and workforce structures, etc. and then comes the really, really hard thing, which is getting an already overstrained supply chain up to production levels required by the new line.

Aamericans tend to over engineer, an approach which in many cases can be very desirable, but in this case would result in 1 inch thick of the heaviest rubber, with a tread, with a leather covering for entire foot, up to over the ankle, and the whole thing held together with shoelaces.

The other day, in another thread about eggs (damn we talk a lot about eggs lately!) someone mentioned a 15 egg pack. WTF is wrong with your countries!! The natural egg set is 12. a dozen! because, 12 is the logical… Because 12 eggs is… Hmmm. we don’t have twelve fingers, or toes… Why dafuq do we use dozens? I mean, even decimal months make more sense

Yeah! Did yours sprinkle the shavings on top of your cereal like mine did, too?

Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, or even Google. They give a shit about your wellbeing, as long as they profit.

That’s delusional. The try to cater to what will keep you engaged, so that as much of the data you can generate can be milked. That’s like saying that agrobusiness cares about livestock’s wellbeing.

Aren’t Teslas Hatchbacks, or sportsbacks, or fastbacks? The windshield lifts with the trunk door, so not sedans.

Right around the confinement my sister and I were talking about getting some seeds for my mom. Neither of us searched for seeds. From that point we both started to get ads for seeds, many for the ones we had talked about in particular. This thing was so unequivocal that it proved to me that our phones listen. Maybe they don’t analyze, but they definitely listen for words actionable for an advertising purposes.

She shot herself seven times in the back and then threw herself out of a window

This is like the electric version of the bare-bones Toyota ICE pickup

Forward control trucks, like that Kei truck are shit in so many respects, it would take a while to list. Source: I’ve owned one of it’s larger siblings and learned to hate them (being 187 cm tall didn’t help)
