My prediction for today: Sharp inital dip, minutes- sharp rise, maybe for an hour?- Slow dip throughout the session, to end lower.

I would need your password to be able to replicate, as well as your mother’s maiden name, city of birth and first pet’s name.

I thought we were going to get our share of the damages

Liknks or didn’t happen

I use zoom several times a week, and have had to revert to windows several times because development lags behind win/mac, and for some reason my org has a fixation on trying new features, useful or not.

How is Signal financed?

Yep, the world will soon belong to China and the EU, thanks to the self destructive actions of Rusia and the US.

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?

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.

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.

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)

Except that driver and passengers are above most crash situations. That is a cab over truck. The Japanese mini truck you referenced is a forward control. Different things , actually.

I have owned a Nissan vanette, And let me tell you, it’s a van-full of nope! Steering is super weird, as the wheels are under you, the feeling that your knees are going to be what crumples in a crash is unnerving, having the engine right next to you (it’s between the front seats) is smelly, warms up one of you thighs, but just one, even in the summer, and a slew of other shit. Standard layout for me, at least Eurovan layout.

I don’t really see a downside to this, so why not line Bezos pockets if he is providing¡g a sane alternative?

Here is where Bezos makes sense. He is also evil, but he’s actually smart, and can take on Elon. The last thing Elon needs right now is Bezos head on.

If you are USian, you did vote for him, either by voting, by not voting, or by not doing enough to prevent it. We on the outside of the US dystopia do get to suffer the consequences without having voted either way.
