They don’t want to be contacted. I don’t think we have any moral obligation to supply them with medicines or technologies that they don’t want, even if they would objectively improve their quality of life.

No they will probably never advance substantially in technology. To get to where the developed world is today took centuries of industrialisation and trade.

But there are, presumably, happy with the status quo.

It shouldn’t be, but German Auto makers are extremely slow to evolve due to their ridiculous bureaucracy. They’ve had ages to get on top of it and ignored it and they should pay the price for that, but they’re too big to fail for their countries economies. They’re definitely beginning to waver in the face of competition from china, so this comes across as the EU giving them a final respite to really start competing. Then again, could just exacerbate their complacency, we’ll have to see whichever way it goes.

In private messages outside of work, yes, it comes across passive aggressive and is a hard stop to a conversation. In work context though, it’s pretty common on teams as an acknowledgement, though I still think it’s nicer to use like a heart react then actually reply.

I’d like to think it’s a kind of zero approval gambit, he was once a dem I heard. But I think it’s much more likely he’s literally a Russian asset and the question is how much damage can the American system of checks and balances prevent before the next elections.

The average use case for the majority of truck owners in the US does not involve towing. Light trucks are driven an average of around 30 miles per day, which is why I say for most people they’re actually in a pretty good position, other than being pretty expensive vehicles of course. If you own a caravan or something and are doing regular massive road trips, you are the minority that these vehicles still don’t cater to.

The Silverado EV and F150 lightning seem pretty decent from the specs, but towing anything they still seriously suck. But for most people they’re actually already pretty good… Unlike the cyber truck.

You can put in a buy order at 0.1 for a share worth 100. You’re dreaming, but you can still do it. Don’t think it really qualifies as abusing the system.

Centre stands need to be way more sturdy to hold it up. You can buy aftermarket VESA centre stands though if you can’t wall mount it.

It’s actually 25, there was a typo in the article that they fixed.
