A combination of factors; cost, customer expectations, and convenience. It's easy to produce a lot of power, it's not easy to do so reliably and within emissions specs. That's where the cost comes in, and where customer…
Adult Control Panel? I always think "Adult" when I'm trying to bring up the legacy panels instead of the function-crippled slow modern iterations.

Never had the pleasure of visiting but if this is accurate it might sound like the best of both worlds.
To be honest I never really compared airport food because I barely eat when traveling so I'll concede this one.
Yeah. These romanticized threads always give me a kick. Every large city here in Germany has a chronic smell of diesel and dog piss. There's a level of grime to everything that would really bother someone used to an…
It's hardly a given all countries will be shrinking, just ones that follow a certain value system. As for a sustainable model, yeah. Have kids. Like normal living organisms do, have always done, and will always do. If a…

For what is self-labelled as an investigation, there's very little technical information. At the very least (in my limitedly qualified opinion) the main factor should be identified; were all the holsters in the reported…
I don't disagree with the patient's diagnosis, but my issue is with what would happen if we were living in, as you put it, "a functional democracy". Contemporary democracy isn't new. Has it ever delivered what you claim…
But why are there such high import duties for something they don't even manufacture? There's no domestic industry to give an advantage to through this.
Fair enough. I conceded I might be totally wrong because my conclusion is based on casual observation of passenger trains and their infrastructure rather than looking into the industry. I could feasibly reach all cities…
I concede I might be totally wrong here, but the issue with rail seems to be profitability. I live in (moved to) Europe, and the railways are far more developed than in the US. But as far as I know, they all have to be…
This is the most r/NoahGetTheBoat thing I've read this week. > PETA claims its investigators visited a whopping 57 operations in Thailand where coconut milk companies that work with HelloFresh forced the animals to work…
I know, that's implied. That's why I said it's a cultural class; both parties are unable to co-exist. It's nothing personal. It's just, outside of FAANG and fields with a FAANG-like culture, the expectation is generally…
I haven't had a close look at contemporary playgrounds but they certainly don't look anything like this. I'm kind of torn on this. On the one hand, I was lucky enough to grow up in an environment without much…

Not to derail from your main point, but how does Musk's public conduct play into your reason for selling your Tesla? I'm not a fan of the man but that shouldn't really be a factor in whether or not I use a product he's…
This is one of my favorite things about living in Germany. I bought my current car in 2018; it doesn't have a single scratch. Back home I'd be lucky to go six months without some careless idiot damaging it.
Oh, buddy, I also can't wait to receive more instructions from our heroic leaders. I love that extra spring in my step from knowing my selfless acts are _literally saving the world_. I still haven't come down from the…
I had never heard of Weebly before but I assumed you had made a typo because surely nobody would call their product "Weebly". I was wrong.
I haven't missed them, that's for sure. I've been blocking custom fonts (and only allowing whitelisted JS) with uBlock for a very long time. It's insane how bloated, janky, and slow things have become.
