The US. Our dominos served a 15-20 mile radius in my medium sized suburban town growing up.

It looks like it’s now the 6.99 deal

It’s been 6 or 7 years since I worked for dominoes

Bike is not faster for a 20 mile delivery range

You’re never going to find exactly what you want, but the 5.99 deal for a medium 2 topping also applies to the cheesy bread you ordered, bringing the total down significantly.

Never order dominos without coupons. It’s exponentially more expensive than anything you can get with a coupon.

Dominos largest profit margins are on orders exactly like this. It’s often more economical to order more food at a cheaper price.

Perez

Mexican fans will pay to see a Mexican driver in a possibly race winning car.

Once Perez is gone there will be a huge drop in the popularity of F1 in Mexico. It’s part of why RBR still hasn’t dropped him. The marketing advantage of him in Mexico and Latin America is such a huge sales driver that they don’t want to give that up.

Nah, I just enjoy cars and (legal) racing.

I’m never going to be interested in an EV. They’re boring, soulless creations that don’t interest me as an enthusiast. They’re great commuter vehicles, but that’s where their use ends. ICE is always going to be preferred by car people.

I don’t have a place to charge at home, nor a way to run a cord from my apartment to a car, so charging becomes a 20-30 minute ordeal instead of a 3 minute tank of gas on my way to work.

I regularly do 400+ mile trips in a day or two ( I’m a photographer ) and need to be able to quickly have range available in non major metro areas.

Since I live in an apartment overnight charging isn’t an option. So I’d still have to go places to charge, which takes significantly longer than stopping for gas.

Driving experince is subjective, but instant power with no real hp/torque curves makes driving really boring. There’s no response from the car, it’s just an On/Off toggle. There’s no real fun to driving it.

Yes the sound is a major part. I’ve got a very nice, valved exhaust system on my new car that adds a ton to how much fun the car is. Hearing the engine, how it responds and how the power is applied is a major part of the fun of driving.

If all you want is a car to get from point A to point B, an EV is completely fine, but as someone who genuinely enjoys cars and driving, EVs are boring and will 100% get you laughed out of most car shows.

At least for me the reasons are

1. Lack of interest
2. They're ridiculously Ugly
3. Range (I’ve driven 1500 miles in the last 3 weeks)
4. Driving Experience is worse (opinion, but still something I stand by)
5. Charging
6. Price

When I was looking at new cars an EV wasn’t even an option. I wanted a 2 door performance coupe and there isn’t anything even close to that in EVs, let alone on the used market. A 2014 Audi was a better choice in almost every metric beyond gas prices.

I have no issue with privacy, my issue is they’re using my creations and content to train the very thing they want to replace me with.

I don’t care if it’s a big tech company or some small independent developer, I don’t want my work used to create and train Ai models.

Reading the article proves your assumption wrong

Yes it is. You can be a pedantic a-hole all you want, but “hacking” includes phishing, social engineering and pretty much any other form of access control circumvention to the general public.

Edit:

Also from the article itself

A 'readme' file in the archive states that the threat actor used an exposed GitHub token to access the company's repositories and steal the data.

Exposed GitHub token is very likely someone messed up and either exposed a token or was victim to an attack that could pull the token. Those are not uncommon and have happened to a lot of companies.

Developers are notoriously bad at naming anything. Cybersecurity experts are generally developers.

“Hacking” is a catch all term for security breaches, including phishing to the general public.

I gave up on doing this after a few weeks of multiple restarts per day. Until Linux can do everything Windows can (Adobe Products, Anti-Cheats, etc) I’m just stuck to windows 100% of the time.

Unfortunately I pay for neither of those, and TBH I’m not going to pay the astronomical prices for one race. Also Max doesn’t work on my home WiFi ever since I installed PiHole.

If I could find a decent way to watch maybe. Right now my only options are pirate streams and those are such a pain.

Facebook couldn’t build a model that has 100% accuracy on if something is a dog or a cat, let alone if a woman is trans.

Yes, but they’d miss out on the long term revenue, which is what everyone is chasing nowadays. There’s be no investors.

Tbh as a car enthusiast there’s been a few advances I’ve been interested in, but nothing really game changing in the affordable range.
