Best of all, since it’s “made in America”, all of that money will definitely support American manufacturers. None of that money will be going to China.

Makes things shorter.

In the applications mentioned by other people, you run into calculations that would look really messy and confusing. Things like 5•4•3•2•1 can be shorted to just 5! Imagine writing the full version of 123!

Janet’s tears weren’t just about loss; they were the raw, ugly realization that the system she’d championed had no loyalty to people like her spouse.

There’s the root cause. Next time, don’t expect the system to have any loyalty towards anyone.

So… cold war 2? Hybrid war? What should we call this?

The conversation probably went something like this:

Dude 1: Yo, I’m like, sky-high, man!

Dude 2: No way, bro! Where’d ya cop this fire?

Dude 1: Beats me, man. I was already blitzed when I scored it.

Dude 2: Duuuude, that’s wicked!

Dude 1: Ayo, listen up, I just had this like, mind-blowing epiphany. Check it, bro. This is gonna flip the script, man. Let’s slap up a fence right at the entrance to the parking lot.

Dude 2: Totally, let’s make it happen. It’ll be like, the ultimate vibe killer for the fuzz, man. They’ll never see it comin’. Plus, think about the street cred we’ll get. We’ll be legends, man. Legends!

Boys went and slapped up a fence right there, and stopped thinking about it any further. Who needs brains when you’re total legend.

LOL yeah.

But seriously though, ads are deigned so that companies find more customers. Who cares what the customers want, need or buy. As long as the company gets the money, it’s ad money well spent.

Based on the name of the community and the responses I’ve seen here, this is exactly the right place for this opinion.

Here’s the part that explains the headline.

An important factor contributing to the unexpected success of these Chinese brands, is that the European Union’s tariffs targeted Chinese EV’s, but left hybrid vehicles alone. So this was the pivot from Chinese carmakers. It was not from the EU to other countries, but from electric-only to hybrid vehicles. Two thirds of the cars sold by Chinese companies in Europe were hybrids, and even fuel-burning engines. Those sales were up 50% year over year, and more are coming.

It even has a ⭐️⭐️ rating considerately printed on the disc as a warning to anyone who might be interested.

An atmosphere confirmed to contain atoms? As opposed to plasma or neutron pasta? Yeah, I guess that counts as an improvement.

As instructed on the disc, you should wear headphones. Buds or speakers just won’t cut it.

That just makes it even better 😄

Can confirm. I was just map surfing in Canada, followed a random road and found this gem.

And even that is closer to a coat of arms IMO.

But the way people save and consume content on the web has evolved, so we’re channeling our resources into projects that better match browsing habits today.

Soo… nobody needed that tool any more? Did they ever though?

Username (top right corner), settings, scroll down… Keep on going… There! Sort type: top hour.

If you’re using a mobile client, it’s also somewhere in the settings. Probably buried deep.

Using a blacklist approach seems to be very popular, but here’s an alternative for those who want to try something different.

Subscribe to all the communities you consider worth your time. Change the setting of your default feed so that home=subscribed. When you’re just casually browsing, you’ll see posts from the communities you’ve explicitly approved, so you can be pretty sure that you won’t be seeing stuff you don’t want to be exposed to.

If you want to discover new and interesting places, there are actually a few communities specifically for that purpose. (!newcommunities@lemmy.world and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca) Just subscribe to those, and your home feed will introduce you to new things from time to time. If you want to see shitposts, politics, memes or a combination of all three, you can always visit the “all” feed.

🌭😮

Hey there’s still some space left for a few small pictures.

It takes special kind of delusional thinking to design a Y-shaped path in a place like this. What you need, is a triangle.
