Ike Perlmutter setup that show to fail.

Definitely noticed that with Mastodon -- there's not a whole lot of folks talking/reacting with one another. I suspect it's related to the user base (doesn't have critical mass, demographics, or activity) or a discoverability issue. Bluesky, on the other hand, has a whole lot more engagement on a host of topics.

The best they can do is probably close their Canadian/Mexican plants if the losses are too great, which would increase unemployment in those areas for not only the automotive factories, but also the ones for the automotive suppliers. Even if a Chinese company swoops in to buy the factories, it'd take time to set things up.

They did that when the TPP was scraped too.

Cheap USBs mean cheap read/writes.

Been using a set of wool dryer balls from Trader Joe's for years. Haven't had to use fabric softener at all.

Makes me think of the episode of Batman Beyond called "Shriek."

If you're going on a long road trip, yes.

Yeah for the same price as the color option you could get a Garmin Vivoactive​ on a sale.

Isn't that the FCC?

I figured it was related to the hardware architecture, but I'm curious if this is for security reasons (potential exploits that the OS can't resolve) and/or just a support bandwidth concerns managing 2 OS code bases (on top of the obvious revenue from new licenses).

If the hardware security isn't the issue, then switching to Linux is a good money saving choice for those that are tech savvy.

Classic Detroit Lions meme.

Or Rapture

As much as I love Sync, it has been almost a year since the last update.

Welcome to Lemmy! We have

Political News!

Geopolitical News!

Political Memes!

Tangentially-related political content!

Fediverse politics/drama!

And...uhh...shuffles through the post pile (there's a cat meme around here... somewhere...)

Oh look -- We have Marxist/Lenninist content!

It's usually to promote business investments in their state as opposed to general trade. There are plenty of governors that do that from both political parties.

The governor of my state just went to the UAE recently to do that, and has done several other trips as well over the years. https://www.michigan.gov/whitmer/news/press-releases/2024/11/25/gov-whitmer-to-meet-with-business-leaders-and-foreign-officials-in-spain

Definitely related. EVs are relatively new technology and internal knowledge for engineering R&D, materials, and manufacturing infrastructure all have to be spun up. All this, and you need marketing/planning folks to decide on what sort of vehicle will sell the best against their engineering capabilities.

With a sign like that, they definitely need a cashier that knows their math.

It's not winning, it's about "the libs" losing -- and that's enough for them.

Oh that irony would be painful.
