There are also pedestrian safety laws. I'm not convinced that the Cybertruck is less safe than any other similar-sized pickup truck. If anything, the nose is a bit lower, so it'd let a pedestrian fall on the hood more than if they were hit by another truck.
Either way, the stainless steel isn't going to be a factor, and the pickup market is flooded with vehicles that are less safe for pedestrians than lower cars.
That's not true. If the company isn't doing business in the EU, they don't need to comply with the GDPR. What I mean is, they're entirely outside the jurisdiction of the EU and are not required to comply with any EU law. If the EU decides they want to force a non-EU company to comply, they have no ability to do so.
Cookie consent is the tip of the iceberg for GDPR compliance. If you're not collecting any user data for any reason, such as account creation, then you're probably ok with cookie consent, but GDPR is non trivial to comply with for companies collecting personal data.
If they aren't doing business in the EU, they don't need to comply with GDPR. While it technically protects EU citizens' data everywhere, in practice it's not possible to govern companies that are completely outside the EU.
EU is capitalist, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. Maybe you're just another person blaming everything on capitalism because that's easier than understanding the actual problems. Might as well blame it on the prevalent system.
While it's perfectly legal to record your own sex tape and sell access, I can't imagine how stupid you have to be in order to run for office and think it won't become public and negatively affect your campaign.
She should have come forward with the information when she first decided to run. She would have been able to control the message.
Why are people so convinced that the Cybertruck won't be safe? Of all the bad things we can say about Tesla, it's a fact that they're quite safe vehicles. I see no reason why the company would suddenly build a vehicle that is so unsafe it cannot be sold in Europe. Some comments in this thread say it doesn't have any crumple zones. How strong do you think 3mm stainless steel is? The strength of every vehicle comes from its frame, not from its body panels. Same thing with the Cybertruck.
Step 1 for any car repair I want to do on my own is to look at how accessible the part is. If it's easy to reach, I'll do it. That's why I like working on my old V8 F-150. Last year, I replaced the intermediate steering shaft, which I assumed would be difficult, but the entire thing is easily reachable beside the engine thanks to the huge engine bay.
It’s worth paying for things to save yourself the pain in the ass
Agreed, but it's also worth knowing how to do things yourself, so you have the choice. On a car, the cost for some jobs is almost all labor, so having the option to do it yourself is great, plus it's a skill you can teach your kids.
With a breaker bar, OP could have had the alternator out and the new one bolted in place in an hour. The belt might still be a problem, but spending an hour, then paying someone $100 to do the belt, feels a lot better than spending 10 hours, then paying someone $100 to do the belt.
Yup, they want to live in fantasy land where they benefit from other people's work, but do none themselves. They're still children, but most of them will eventually grow up.
The rest will become communists, which is something I've been seeing a lot of on Lemmy.
If you know you can't be evicted unless you stop paying rent and the rent is cheap enough, it's not a bad idea to renovate it a bit. I told my friend he should quietly renovate his rental apartment because he hated the kitchen and all the flooring. He was paying $2k under market price, had rent control, and because it's a corporate landlord, they can't evict him unless he misses rent a lot or harasses other tenants.
My friend opted to buy a condo instead, so while his mortgage is more than his rent was, at least he's earning equity and a rising housing market.
They also print the weight and number of pieces on the package, which they had to update. Since the packaging is otherwise identical, shoppers will buy it without reading the weight of number of pieces because it looks exactly like the old package.
Obviously, No Frills wanted to keep the price at $10, so they reduced the amount of fish in the package. That's shrinkflation. If the goal were to keep customers informed of the change, they would have made more noticeable change to the package.
That's the first thing I thought when I heard about his death. He should have known that Putin would likely want him dead, so pretending to board a plane that gets shot down is a pretty good way to fake your death. Does he use his fake death to plot revenge or to escape, never to be heard from again?
Landlords must exist because people need to rent housing, and it sure sounds like you're doing it right. Some landlords (and some tenants) are awful human beings who should not be landlords while others are good people.
A bigger problem is happening in areas with housing shortages. Housing prices have been skyrocketing for 10+ years and home owners have been leveraging themselves with their home equity to buy other homes. On a large scale, that eats up a lot of housing supply, increases prices, and makes it more difficult for people without existing real estate equity to buy a house.
In the city where I live, owning a house is essentially not possible for middle-class people unless their parents give them a down payment. Even my girlfriend and I, who combine for more than triple the average household income in the city, are taking years and years to save for a $300k+ down payment that's needed to bring the mortgage payment down to $6k/mo.
Landlords didn't create the housing shortage, but I can see why someone who's struggling to buy a house while watching landlords buy multiple houses can develop a hatred for them.
Good cops are usually punished for calling out bad cops. The system is broken.
