  • Glass backs are popular because it makes assembly easier, because if the front and back are made from the same material, then they would have the same thermal expansion coefficient, which means that you can get a less variable fit between the front and the back.

    It is for the benefit of the manufacturer and not the customer.

  • Mr. Adultman, how could you forget to mention my Academy Award nominations? Are you working too hard at the business factory again?

  • Reminds me of that scene in "The Wolf of Wall Street".

    Good times.

  • ... Barbie, let's go Barbie.

    Surprise, you thought that was just a meme reference, but you just got Barbie'd again.

  • Don't get me wrong, I don't like that cars have been getting bigger and bigger either, they are unsafe for everyone but the occupants and they wear out the roads faster, but it is just something that is still actively happening.

  • Still on that acting break, but in the meantime, you can buy a copy of "Barbie" on Blu-ray to tide you over.

  • Even if there are no trade barriers, it would be very unsafe to drive a tiny car like this in the US due to the number of gigantic trucks and SUVs on the streets.

    This is why new cars has been getting bigger and bigger and leading to this "car size arms race".

  • Yeah! Pick somebody who actually knows tech, like esteemed Academy Award nominated lead developer Margot Robbie, for example.

    (Wait, actually, no, getting involved in crypto is generally a bad idea...)

  • Even though this is an obviously AI generated picture (which makes it funnier BTW), this seems like a fun shenanigan to pull on the weekends.

    The best part is that nobody will recognize you with the velociraptor masks on.

  • OK, seriously, I thought I've spent enough free time on Lemmy telling you to watch Barbie here for some of you here to, you know, actually watch Barbie.

    So let me be clear: it is ultimately the Barbies' complete disregard for the Kens' feelings that led to the Kens being poisoned by the idea of the Patriarchy and all the subsequent mess in Barbieland, so way ahead of you on 2, to reiterate, what the Kens did was wrong, but you have got to take a nuanced approach to these things.

    Also, on 1, all I said was that unlike the meme I feel that bears are terrifying, and then some weirdo came out of the woodwork and got really angry and start talking over me and calling me a dumbass and I was making it all about me somehow. The irony was so palpable I was at a loss for words.

  • For your information, "we are not here to fuck spiders" is actually a pretty common Australian (well, QLD) saying.

  • But then what if some particularly clever celebrity shows up on a social media platform where you never expect them to, like that velociraptor in Jurassic Park?

  • The Yu-Gi-Oh card in question:

  • Although the BYDs and GWMs and MGs are getting popular in Australia, I have literally never seen a Chinese EV in the States outside of locally built BYD busses, and BYD cars have distinct designs that are fairly easy to spot. So this feels like posturing to me.
