I've also noticed an increase in using "had [done]" instead of [did] in places I wouldn't expect. I'm sure a linguist could break that down more thoroughly.
A steel ball is not a ball bearing. A bearing is something that bears load and allows for motion, usually rotation. There are sleeve bearings which are just one material or journal bearings which have pressurized oil to separate the spinning shaft. A ball bearing is an assembly with rolling elements (balls, rather than rollers). Those steel balls are just called balls. The whole assembly is called a ball bearing. I used to work in bearing manufacturing and they were just called balls.
Kei trucks are extremely useful if you're only ever going to move it around in a city. I wouldn't want to get on a highway in one of those. To me, this looks like the closest analog to a kei trucks that would still work in the US.
They make it sound like not having stamping is helping them by not requiring expensive machines and a factory with a high ceiling. I'm betting they're outsourcing the stamping. I'm also betting that they won't ever deliver a truck.
refraining from encouraging IP's directly benefitting her could distract her or even send a message to her potential allies.
I also think that isn't worth it. You're still letting some rich moron's actions have too much sway over your mental health. What you're describing is the most tiny of marginal gains. Her IPs are already dying in relevance. Your energy would be better spent telling people about how cool some other thing is rather than how bad HP is. If someone loves HP and it makes them happy, I see no benefit to raining on their parade.
No paint because you're injection molding body panels? Sounds good.
No stamping? How are you getting away with that? Are they just outsourcing the stamping for frame parts? There's no way this thing doesn't require stamped frame components.
Tbh, this feels like vaporware. I'll believe it when I see them actually being delivered.
I disagree with this take. Buying HP stuff won't change anything. Not "it will change very little". It will actually do nothing. If the whole world decided to stop buying anything that gave her money, it wouldn't change her lifestyle at all. She already made enough money that she never has to consider it for her lifestyle. People might as well enjoy what they like and not have one more thing weighing on their mental health. Let people have their escapism.
Didn't Hermione lead a campaign to liberate house elves but was laughed at by everyone until she dropped it?
Then Harry frees one elf and is considered a hero while the person trying to solve the systemic problems is a whiny bitch. She's showing how she thinks about the world with that one.
Whether he's part of ms-13 or not is irrelevant. If the government has such solid evidence, then he could surely stand trial. The character of the victim isn't important. The complete disrespect of the constitution, the courts, and thus rule of law is what's important.
Also the sound in that game is absolutely top tier. It's very easy to pinpoint a location of a sound, making noise a high priority while moving around.
Even if he gave away nearly all his wealth to help the needy, that doesn't fix the problem. Ultimately it's the choice of the rich what to do with their money and most of them won't choose to give it away. Changing the system is more important than one rich person being generous.
Look up bone conduction headphones. I think Shox is the main brand. I bought them since I ride a bike a lot so earbuds would mess with my situational awareness. You hear everything around you which is the best and worst part about them.
You weren't lying. I was looking for "knowledge" games similar to Animal Well and Outer Wilds and I saw some reviews making the comparison. Tbh, I was a little underwhelmed at first. I thought it was a good game but it didn't feel like what I was looking for. But the back half really opened it up. Figuring out the mountain door puzzle was like a jaw on the floor moment. By the end I had several pages of graph paper with notes and sketches.
I'm not sure how serious your comment is but anyway...what you're describing is a decades-long reorientation of military doctrine and procurement strategy. Getting a different multi-role fighter is already a huge expense with lots of ramifications but no need to throw the baby out with the bath water.
Edit: IMO, if you really wanted to alter air force strategy to deter the US, you should look to Sweden and Finland who have been facing an asymmetric threat for decades. Aquire the Gripen, train with the Swedes in how to run and operate a distributed air force of small independent units capable of generating and performing missions from random roads in the woods.
