Volkswagens EV platform is a mess because the CEO responsible for the pivot to EV within VW, was only allowed to implement it if he stopped being the CEO. So the next guy half assed the 80B$ pivot to EV, leading to VW being one of the worst performers amongst EV producing OEMs.
So now they are on the market to buy whatever is needed to get them out of the hot mess they created themselves.
I can’t say I watched many Looney Tunes cartoons…
I don’t know who that fat cock is, but nobody does my boy Boromir dirty like that. Chicken for dinner tonight!
I used to like mac OS when I used it on a macbook as a daily driver, years ago (haven’t owned a mac in a decade now). But recently I helped my mom set up a new macbook and I found it unwield.
I’m also with you on the Ubuntu and gnome front, although a buddy of mine swears with it. I just don’t like it. Not sure why, I have tried to work with Ubuntu + GNOME several times and I always end up switching to a different build.
So I haven’t watched after season 2. What did Homelander have to do for conservatives to realize he’s not the good guy?
Did he become an environmentalist or something? Because sociopathic narcissism, kidnapping, mass murdering innocents and being an allround asshole didn’t do that, not even mentioning his literal nazi girlfriend.
That would work if the earth wasn’t flat. As it is, you need to transport the artillery below their position and shoot them from there. Like Ender shooting through the ice clouds.
This law, if it were to pass, is 100% guaranteed to be shot down by the European courts for invasion of privacy.
I imagine he would make a good Dalinar in 20 years or so.
Russia is a North Korean client state now.
I think he has incredible interviewing skill. The guests are often not very interesting though, although they sometimes have absolute gems. The one that surprised me the most was Naomi Campbell. That woman is way smarter than I ever would’ve guessed.

I think the crisis moment for Ukraine has passed mostly. The threat of a breakthrough from a couple of months ago is not gone, but stalled long enough to shore up the defensive lines and have ammunition and supplies delivered from the west (and let’s be honest here, that is still for 90% coming from the US). The strategy for Ukraine should now be to hold line and hit the supply lines.
The sanctions that were implemented take time to really bite and you start seeing the results of these more and more.
One thing I think Ukraine should do is start recruiting mercenaries from Nepal and other places where Russia is recruiting. Since they’re not (or rather “probably would not”) be thrown in the meat grinder, I think that after some time they can dry up those sources too, while at the same time addresing some of their own manpower issues.
Just give the option to be injected with a vaccine or with chlorine. Watch the numbers drop spectacularly.
I have recently told this to a niece in a similar situation: I was also in a situation like that, and I wish someone had told me to just go work for a year or so, you can go back to studying after. At worst you earn some money, while at best you earn perspective and figure out what you really want (and earn some money).
They are trying to ramp up production, but that’s a very hard thing to do given the sheer amount of suppliers (over 1000) and the general labor shortage in aviation. They are actively sending their own engineers to suppliers to help out where possible, but there is only so much they can do.
Even with ramped up production the backlog (8500+ planes) will take almost a decade to clear (735 planes produced in 2023). So yea, I could imagine some airlines with a strong cash position will simply buy other airlines just to take over their planes and orders instead of putting in a new order.
Force them to update their old ass IT infrastructure as well. The amount of policies and lowering of security I had to do so that my company can access their antique systems is not funny. Hyundai are such cheapskates on everything this doesn’t surprise me in the least.
A lesson he will remember for the rest of his life, for sure.
