Me too. I would’ve probably used Google Play Music to the end of my days but the transition to Youtube Music was so good awful I cancelled and switched to Spotify within a couple of days.

“Well I don’t think we can meet everybody’s needs so I’m unfortunately gonna have to side with the other movement, sorry!”
Who needed confirmation they’re not imagining it? I can see it with my own eyes every single day.
Good point, time consumed by cooking has value in itself.
And compared to dinner?
I’m asking because if I was “strapped for cash” I’d always go for cooking something rice or potato based myself, rather than buying already processed and packaged food, a most likely overpriced brand no less!

Is Kellogg’s cereal even cheap at all?? I’m not in the US so I could only imagine but I’d guess it’s not, is it?
It’s a valid criticism, I’m just wondering where 90% of those folks criticizing were the last 10 years, when it would have also been a valid criticism against her, but only a select group of people called it out and I recall precisely zero memes on this specific topic. Curious, that this has only become a mainstream meme now that there is a defamation campaign actively being conducted against her by right wing media.
I mean, this would be a good point if Russia was invading Ukraine with US-supplied weapons. But with the way things are in reality, this is a fucking braindead contribution to the conversation.
Bees can do whatever the fuck they want, they are not merely there for our desire to get plants pollinated. They just like to do it.
That’s even better than all cars being EVs.

Damn I could’ve sworn I’ve studied that for 6 years and am an actual mechanical engineer! To be fair I’m not working in automotive anymore but I have trained as an automotive mechatronic before majoring ME.
I’m also wondering what calculations I’m supposed to doubt here, it’s literally a rumoured engine, no specs other than a displacement that could(!) be 8.3L, no emission data, to performance data. I’m just calling out that author’s claim that they made it bigger so it has less emissions. It’s obvious marketing bullshit he’s parroting. They were forced to, among other things, reduce compression due to emission laws and the resulting engine is inevitably less efficient, so they (could!) made it bigger to negate the efficiency losses and still be able to have a new model with more horsepower than the last one, despite having a less efficient ICE, obviously at the cost of fuel economy and all other emissions but nitrogen oxides. Not that it matters to their customers but that’s what it is, and only a marketing department could come up and twist this into something positive they have thought of to tackle emissions. And stop it with this engineers’ calculations bs, this shit isn’t even technical. NOx formation is far more complicated than just being a function of compression, it’s affected by how hot a mixture burns, determined by how gradual and geometrically even the combustion takes place and how much volume of the chamber is utilised or whether it concentrated to a specific region. Cylinder head geometry and injector design and actuation play just as big a role as compression (which really is a beneficial side effect to modern injector design that lead to a more efficient combustion.) They could’ve just reverted all that lean-burn technology (obviously not lean-burn for a Diesel but it’s the same philosophy) and sold the car with slightly less NOx emissions, but that’s not what this is about. It’s about marketing not being happy about an engine with less horsepower, so they let them build it with more displacement and made up a story of how they made it bigger so it could emit less NOx. They know dense people will buy that.
It would be next to impossible to get 4.5MW from the line to the motor using a third rail or something.
Most modern electric locos and EMUs are 6 MW and up on European 15 or 25 kV AC systems. 8-9 MW is very typical for higher end locos and the BR412 EMU in its longest configuration (for an example of the maximum I can think of) can pull 11.55 MW temporarily, and all of that is from one pantograph. Doing cargo with electric locos is only impossible in NA because… well, because you can’t, because there is no elecrification. Every single corner to has been cut to save every imaginable cost. It’s not like you could try and see what’s better, you literally only have old-school diesel tech.
If you read the article, you would see that
if you believe the entirely baseless claim in that article, …
There you go.
I’m looking at unadulterated communism here and I hate it! Remove the green and the tracks and let honest working people park their lifted F 350 to go grocery shopping and bring little Braendin to school!
Very little space to do it differently I suppose
That’s probably what they’re trying to do. The better their quality management is the closer to consistently packing -1.95% they’ll be.
-2% is probably allowed and this is -1.95%. It’s okay I guess. I’d probably trust my cheap, regularly used and never calibrated kitchen scale less than I would trust these companies to comply with such rules.
And the biggest issue is if its even doable.
Right we all didn’t think of that, in that case let’s just keep on overexploiting our finite resources and generate as much short term shareholder value as possible, because we don’t know whether a sustainable approach would even fix some things that are possibly already beyond fixing due to overexploitation and generating short term value in the past.
My personal opinion on ‘fuck tons of products for issues I never knew existed’ is that also a fuck ton is for issues that don’t exist at all, or for issues that were specifically invented for the product to fix.
Tofu is not a meat substitute. Tofu is just tofu, unless someone specifically picks it as a substitute for meat and sticks to it, in which case I guess it’s their personal substitute for meat.
