Yay, technology and adaptability will allows us all, eventually, to exist drinking dust and looking after termites as pets.

Entirely appropriate for the new direction.

I dig it ... (speaking as someone who still sees their average cars as steam engine, emission test defeaters)

>>Given the context is the dogmatic approach to office culture, this comment is super ironic. Of course the firings were a correct decision from your (insane and skewed) perspective.

Without the facts of the matter, you're talking out of your h'arse.

Either firings are legal or not. They have nothing to do with office culture.

Insane and skewed? ... yes, yes you are. Well done for identifying it, it's just your aim is about 180 degrees wrong. I imagine you have that issue frequently in life.

Have a nice day :) (you absolute, unmitigated pr!ck, lol)

With respect. The small sat revolution is a load boll@cks.

Forgive me.

Allocate some of that to a Harambe memorial.

The rest to habitat nurturing and protection.

That's some decent patience you've got there.

I give websites 5 seconds, tops.

Ok,that's fair.

But I don't accept the smart fortwo as a typical small car.

If those are its numbers, then its a horrible car, both in terms of mpg and everyday practical use. It looks good as a quick city run around and that's it.

In Europe, a typical small car might be a Toyotal Yaris or Peugeot 208, both hitting 70-90mpg

Citation or that's bullsh!t.

If the car you ended up getting was large, as implied, I'd be interested in looking at how sh!te the small car must have been.

But it is a dumb fascination when the logical conclusion is everyone riding around in tanks.
There are some decent $5-$10k small EV's in China that will mop up customers who can't reach Tesla levels of affordability.

And with the advent of Hyundai Ioniq 5 and other cars coming on stream in the premium space, Tesla can suck a fat one.

Wow, is that a thing in the US?

Home of capitalism!

Sorry to hear that.

Obligatory: do people still use Facebook?
Tell your boss that Google jumped the shark 15 years ago. Get him/her to tell their boss, and so on.

Appreciate it.

Awesome.
Christ, I'm going to vent, so I'm sorry but, I'm so sick of this bullsh!t argument.

Eggshells?

If you're with someone you know or you don't know and you make a perceived or actual faux pas in their eyes.

Say ..... "sorry" .... "I didn't know that. Tell me more".

How hard is that?

I try to be pretty inclusive, but I'm nowhere near perfect and you know what, when I might have got it wrong this is what I do. And I'm not special for doing so. It's called interacting like a normal human being with another human being.

And you know what, it opens the space for understanding and debate and the chance to reject if you really believe it is wrong.

And as for you unfollowing podcasts because of mentions of priviedge and so forth ... well ... I wonder why that would be recently. Do you unfollow all topics which make you uncomfortable? Do you complain about cancel culture and then cancel podcasts you don't like?

I'm going to be harsh here because your post is very representative of many I see so maybe it needs to be said.

You feeling like you're being attacked everywhere you go is your problem, not those you think who are doing the attacking.

And, again, my point is - it doesn't matter if it was a deliberate design choice or not.

Enviromental harm is the reality of bitcoin. And should be on the addressable agenda.

On the other hand, might as well rinse Uber while they're still trading.

To be clear, if Uber are unprofitable, that's a business model problem, not a worker problem.

Does it matter?

The reality is the same.

Oh please, come on... it doesn't matter what he does with his wealth, just that he has accummulated such an incredible amount.

He could just as easily change his mind tomorrow about what he wishes to do with it tomorrow.

And that's not even touching on the argument about whether what he is using his wealth on is the best use of that wealth.

Wow ... what a mess ... I guess they'll need to disband and reform under a different name. They're over.
I'm confused, your point on: "Instituting racist policies to only help certain businesses [5]." ...

The link you provide says it was "fake". Maybe I've misunderstood.
