There's not really much to break down. Because some text messages came out that showed Kanye requesting some nitrous and a doctor saying he would bring it, everyone has decided that with Kanye's previous/ongoing addiction issues, he's clearly addicted.

I suspect they were being facetious.

Edit: Their post history suggests otherwise.

 

The decline in workers wanting to come to the UK comes after the former Conservative government introduced restrictions on foreign workers and their families in an effort to slash overall immigration.

Sorry, we were having a language problem. You're using American truck and I'm using British truck, so we're talking about two totally different things.

Your truck is the pickup, mine is the long-haul thing. 😂

Why shouldn't the design be legal?

It's funny you say that because Volkswagen has been openly protesting increased tariffs on Chinese EVs

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

But how do you protect a local industry by inflating prices. Let's take GM for example. They're saying it's costing 150k to build each EV and those EVs aren't as good in terms of quality as the Hyundai's, Kia's, Volkswagen's or even Tesla's. The only thing tariffs do for American consumers is force them to pay more money than they should. While for GM, they simply enable them to put out subpar products and have them compete with cheaper and better cars. It's rewarding failure.

Why doesn't BPC just split the functionality of the extension, so that the filter list is a separate entity?

I'm still yet to understand the benefit of tariffs.

I know calling this a technology story is a stretch, so if it's deleted, no hard feelings. But given they're both apps, I popped it here. If you can think of somewhere better, please repost it and tag me.

I'm very nervous about Chopper.

Send it to Hyundai or a Chinese brand, Ford can't be trusted and Toyota are still obsessed with ICE.

And that's the thing nilloc is missing. It was never about how many trucks and Roadsters were delivered, it was about mindshare and cool factor.

Wealth transfer? This is their own money. They don't give a shit about the general public. The thing is, the crown prince is actually thinking ahead. The oil in Saudi Arabia won't last and they need new forms of revenue going forward. Even if they sink everything they have into establishing that, they'll have a long-term future of doing it like the peons, i.e. tourism. But even then, they were planning to spend just enough to get everything off the ground and were hoping outside investment would drive the rest.

The problem is, people are smart. They understand that in such a kingdom, no matter what you invest, you're still at the whims of the monarchy, so where they wanted 100 billion in investments, they've only got 17 billion.

Rightfully so, they're scaling back and planning to deliver some things to show that what they're doing isn't just a pipe dream. Especially given that they have sports tournaments coming up.

What is shit is that this will be built with slave labour. So it mars even the fact that they're building sustainable, walkable cities and desalination plants that will be the blueprint for the rest of the world; that's being far too conservative. We don't have time, so we need big and bold steps like this.

Regarding the Hydrofoil sand ships, I don't even think there's a miniature prototype. But if they can pull it off, it will be a step into the future. Doubt it will happen though.
