They're not really safe. They are generally front heavy, so there is a risk of rolling forward, no crumple zone safety stuff, more often than not the front suspension is under the seat and if that breaks it would shoot up into the cabin, and on top of everything they are pretty slow. They have more in common with an off road Polaris than a traditional truck, which is to be expected because they were mostly designed to be farm trucks. I'd much rather be in an older s10 than a kei truck in the event of a crash (and s10's aren't very safe). I think I lot of why they are so popular these days is because there aren't really any light trucks anymore, and these are an alternative.

Raspberry pi foundation was launched as a charity, and the end goal was to produce a ton of very cheap computers to help children learn about programming. Since then, it has been soo ubiquitous for embedded stuff that for the last couple of years they have basically become unaffordable for the very audience they were intended for. Now they are seeking an ipo because they are used in everything, except as cheap computers for children.

Yes Mr. Chamberlain, maybe we should take steps to prevent a fascist dictator from invading eastern Europe.

Afraid the best I can do is one candidate running for the position, so your vote literally doesn't matter.

Badly worded title, but I encourage a read. The whole thing is incredibly screwy, and if you haven't already I suggest look into the whole thing. A court in Delaware basically said that they couldn't approve the payout for Musk because of the lack of justification. So, they decide that they are going to move incorporation to Texas (probably not a great thing, but this is Musk, so....), but it probably won't happen until after the vote, which while they are pretty sure will pass (a looot of musk cultists on the board), but it's going to be a lot more close than they expected, in large part because the company is quickly approaching a dumpster fire after the cyber truck debacle, Musk becoming a laughing stock from buying Twitter, recent layoffs already hurting Tesla (he laid off the supercharger dept, which probably would be one of the most profitable avenues for the future of the company), and his growing fame for being transphobic/racist. Seriously, the more you learn about him, the more of a parallel you have to Henry Ford (that is most definitely not a complement).

Haven't played Alan Wake 2 yet, is it good? I remember the original one fairly fondly (it played really well on my underpowered laptop and thought the story was decent).

Dealing with monopolies, stopping our unilateral support for Israel, fixing the housing crisis, and proper taxation for the wealthiest so that a lot of the public institutions that have been defunded for the past couple decades can be improved. Those are the biggest ones, fix those and most of the other ones start to self correct. Don't, and the US falls apart.

A lot of cars with automatics and manuals have slightly different brake pedal sizes for the same models (bigger on automatics usually, takes a bit of the space a clutch might). So theoretically it makes some sense.

What does this actually mean?

I was thinking more the smartdogs, or whatever they're called, not the greatest (texture is fine but the taste is pretty off) rather than sausages. Those do usually satisfy that hankering for a hot dog if you add katsup, mustard, onions and whatever else you want on a dog, even if they aren't as good as the sausages (which I agree are pretty good).

Smaller stuff has to be more complex to get to the lower mass, which is usually what causes the biggest issues. The hdds in those ipods had some extra stuff to make them more reliable, but even then, move them too quickly and they show it.

Edison motors. They've already got a working prototype electric diesel hybrid semi and have begun working on conversion kits. The big benefit is that when batteries eventually get good enough, you could just remove the diesel generator.

It depends on the audience. I enjoy some deathcore and the like, but I don't play it around some of my friends because I know they wouldn't enjoy it.

Will a vegan hot dog probably not be as tasty as the real thing? Yeah, but if you're vegetarian/vegan you occasionally have a hankering for a hot dog, and this can get you at least halfway there, who cares? Don't be an ass and insult what people want to eat just because it offends your sensibilities, which seems to be the main reason people are down voting you.

Not to be too much of a contrarian, but it sorta is a problem if it is too cheap to support the people that are required to repair it and the parts/replacements for stuff that has failed. Plus, in 20-30 years you are going to have to have enough money on hand to replace todays panels, which if energy costs are almost free/negative, you might not. These are somewhat solvable problems (make energy costs just a tax to support the grid and cut out profit from the equation for the public good), but it is a bit of an issue that probably needs to be planned for.

Don't think that would exactly apply, as this seems to be just a notice that the size has changed without the price changing. Not really turning the world upside down, more just showing which companies/products have been screwing you lately.

All it would need for justification is Kevin. Damn it Kevin.

So, does this apply to products that have already applied shrinkflation, or just those after July 1st?

Justice dept also clarified in the same press release that, "Water is wet" and the sky is still currently blue.

Not bad, but I was mostly referring to brand names, generally with better fabric than just blank t shirts. I have plenty of those shirts that have Pima or other expensive fabrics that I paid $5-20 for a piece used. They are a lot more comfortable, and generally last longer.
