As Marx said, “A capitalist will sell you the rope to hang him with.” You’re argument is only valid if you believe anthropogenic global warming isn’t real. If it is, and all the science indicates it is, then the business case is only valid in the short term, with massive penalties in 15 to 40 years.

Businesses make decisions based on the next quarter. Countries tend to have to look at the next decade.

As someone who promotes fairvote.ca and how broken FPTP is, you’re aware that FPTP promotes a two-party system. In Canada, the only two players on the national level are the liberals and conservatives. And a lot of people voted liberal because they really didn’t want conservative. The liberals didn’t have to do anything to get this result - the system is behaving as designed.

The whole point is to look at places that already have the policy you’re considering to see what the results would be if you enacted that policy locally. In large part, people are very similar throughout the world. If you think Canadians having the same access and attitudes towards guns as Americans wouldn’t lead to similar outcomes, you’re denying reality.

And yes, there are people living in areas where wildlife risks are not compatible with gun safety, or where law enforcement is too remote to be a viable option as protection from criminals, but these people are a tiny minority. Anyone who feels like they need a gun for protection while in their home in a city is operating from a position of fear, and would be the type to shoot their pregnant wife or a delivery driver who went to the wrong address. Just like we see in America, which has enshrined the idea of needing arms for self-defense.

Oh, not to worry. The most likely pickups for pedestrian and bicyclist fatality in the U.S. are all allowed, for now.

There’s only one reason the cybertruck is banned in the UK that isn’t easily fixed - the requirement for rounded edges that are thicker than the panels on the thing. Changing the indicator color, getting a special drivers license, and going through the import process are all surmountable hurdles if one wanted to, but not that first one. Fortunately, the F150, which kills far more pedestrians due to it’s populatlrity, is an easy substitute if driving vehicles that are dangerous for everyone around them is high on your criteria. Thankfully, the corners on that behemoth are rounded!

It’s not my thing, cool if that works for you.

I dated a bi girl. I didn’t particularly care who she was sleeping with before or after me, so long as she wasn’t sleeping with anyone else while she was with me.

I have never seen the inside of a Tesla, yet I can recognize them from a block away. The door handle may be something their owners notice, but it isn’t what makes them recognizable to passersby. This is like saying people recognize iPhone because of the triple tap functionality. It’s unique, but isn’t what makes people recognize them at a glance.

There are perfectly good reasons to not like Teslas, safety and giving money to Elon among the top. Don’t dilute your message with irrelevance and inaccuracies.

On top of that, he puts all the blame on her, and not an iota on her security guards, who one would presume, in a country where assassinations are all too common, are there to protect her from all forms of assault, not just sexual assault. They failed badly at their job, and if there’s a woman who should have felt confident this wouldn’t have happened, it would be her.

That is a design issue, but it is not a cosmetic design issue. Having never been in a Tesla, I don’t know if the fundamentally flawed interior door handle has any great impact on aesthetics. That said, Teslas, even cybertrucks, are very distinctive. Their esthetics have little bearing on the quality of the build (this is the entire philosophy behind knock-off brands).

So, while I don’t thing you’re wrong, that has no relevance to the OC’s statement.

I turned on beta within the first week of getting mine and have only had two issues at all with base behavior.

I appreciate both of you.

Aren’t all the names ObviouslyNotBanana?

I had an Apple ][e I could use at school. It was preferable to the ][c for the same reason.

Just need a job as a mortician, or become friends with a mortician who has questionable morals and needs money.

I’m more than okay with options. I’m even okay with changing the default on new phones. I’m not so okay with changing it on existing installations without giving the option to the user.

I just got a OneUI update to V7 on my Samsung and it remapped the power button.

Which is a loss. I liked the extra button, just not for an assistant.

I don’t use the features you listed that much, so I switched it back to powering off my phone. On my Samsung device, there was a link titled how do I turn off my phone. One of the options suggested was saying, “Bixby, turn off my phone.” Nope.

And I can certainly see Erika eying a spot in the First Wive’s club. Frankly, that’s the least concerning thing happening in American politics right now, and I wouldn’t put it past either of them. We will see.

That is easily panned as her setting him up as a voice to replace Charlie in their propaganda machine. I don’t think she will be doing public debates, and her platform as CEO of TPUSA doesn’t give her the reach that JD currently has. Now, I’m not putting it past either of them to get together, I just don’t see that comment or that second of video as a serious indication they have done so. If I’m wrong and they are, well, one more shitty thing done by shitty people.
