That was great, the first comparison that came to mind after reading it was they are both a game of russian roulette...
Waymo - you get one chamber loaded with a blank, might kill you if you get it.
Tesla - you get one empty chamber... And the gun is loaded by your worst enemy
Doubt they'll be paying much taxes if everyone is a prisoner in their own homes
A savings account earns interest, you can pay into it monthly until product release...
How does paying up front before release spread the cost?
I barely use Amazon, it's just 90% AliExpress stock at huge markup anyway, plus more importantly they're evil. I do seem to have prime though, which I use to order something maybe every other month when it's urgent for work. Thing is I'm not signed up for prime, it just activated when I linked an audible account to my business account years ago. I do use audible, to the limit of the credits anyway. So I've been kinda torn for ages and can't bring myself to cancel as my old audible subscription seems to be giving me prime somehow for much less than prime is to sign up.
I just convince myself I'm playing the system...
Coming to Lemmy means losing some of the really well supported niche communities from Reddit of old and that was the biggest hit of leaving, but the site being such cancer now I wonder how well they are doing anyway.
Lemmy, once you've blocked 90% of the weird tankies, really does feel like Reddit from 10+ years ago in the comments. It's just a shame due to its current small size how single minded the general feed often feels. Hopefully that improves
Also here in Europe this is the type of construction we use for a garden shed, not a house.
Even when we do modern timber frame, it's generally still brick or block at the bottom. How long do these houses last in the US? I imagine a lot of the continent is pretty humid
My preferred fictional outcome is Putin orders a full launch, but almost all the missiles just do a small fart in their tubes as no maintenance was done, and the ones that launch end up reaching escape velocity and disappearing because the people in charge of the silos had long since sold the payloads for yacht money...
Nah its about £13 retail.
Oh wait, you mean from apple... Its £200 from them.
In the UK they defunded youth centres. Whatever shady shit we used to get up to at those, it was in a safe-ish place which at least one responsible person not far away in the worst case. Our behaviour/activities outside of those places once they were gone, as bored youths in a town of middle age to old people, was much worse.
This is an instant addition to the weird garden maze thing I've been planning to build for my kid once they're past the crawling phase.
Any further obstacle suggestions that could be incorporated into a tunnel are gratefully welcome. I'm still trying to work out if a ball pit in a box is even a safe idea...
I would like it if it was subtle, maybe a few thin rgb lines around the main board like traces, and something similar on other components.
I hate the everything blaring random lights look, its like a kids attempt to draw attention, it works but when you look you wish you hadn't.
