It's very obviously Max's team. Look at the struggles every other driver who has raced alongside him (excepting Ricciardo in Max's rookie Red Bull year) has had with just being on the same team.

McLaren is a safe seat for Lando and the car has improved immensely over the last few seasons. Red Bull has shown over and over that the number 2 seat is incredibly hot. Your odds of being out on your ass are so high.

This report, funded by the UK government, takes the forced labor as a given. Their "research" is essentially, "we couldn't trace supply lines, so we assume all green tech is tied to Xinjiang, and that anything made in Xinjiang has forced labor in the chain". In fact the "report" is actually "investor advice", and not purporting to be factual reporting of any kind.

I'm sure all the people who "worked" on this are enjoying their six figure e-mail jobs.

Spain and South Korea build high rail infrastructure for one tenth the cost of the US.

Do you think they are cutting corners in construction?

The cost of construction in the anglosphere doesn't come from "too much safety". It comes from a culture of consultants and managers and legalized graft.

Will anglo countries ever learn anything from other countries that can build things at reasonable prices? I'm guessing no.

Toyota's announced they'll be using solid state batteries in their production EVs before the end of the decade.

Nauru is a state completely dependent on foreign aid. I imagine their loyalties are pretty predictably motivated.

Maybe China is giving them aid without requiring them to hold deported migrants.

the last time the US "declared war" was 1942

well technically you can push matter through ethernet or wifi as well, but you're right

It 100% is, but that doesn't change the fact that Americans are still conditioned to be constantly afraid of terrorism.

Do you really think the US has any real concern about being attacked?

Well I still have to take off my shoes at the airport so I'd say yes. This country hasn't stopped being afraid of being attacked in 22 years.

They can and will invent their own reasons just fine tyvm.

I'll ask an honest question here: What do you think Trump would be doing materially differently from Biden in the handling of this conflict? Israel has essentially been given carte blanche, weapons sales are continuing without congressional approval, and humanitarian aid to Gaza is severely restricted.

What could Trump be doing that's worse than this? Sending in US troops to massacre Palestinians is about the only place you can go, and that doesn't seem like him.

can you link me to that poll?

If you're worried about the devices themselves that's why there are radio protocol standards that decidedly don't use the internet, like zigbee, z-wave, and now matter.

If you take it at face value, which you should really never do when conservatives are involved.

By my estimation, this (and bills like it) are intended to do two things:

1. Reduce younger people's access to points of view outside of the US political mainstream. In particular, Republican politicians seem very convinced that TikTok is turning kids gay/trans/atheist/communist/etc.
2. Allow for aggrieved conservatives to extract money via lawsuit from corporations Republican politicians view as hostile to them. Because laws like this will obviously be circumvented, and these laws are written such that the platform is liable in these cases, these laws open them up to potentially millions of lawsuits every time a teenager gets an Instagram account.

Because of limits on prescription drug price negotiations in the U.S., politicians south of the border have argued their health-care systems should simply buy more drugs from Canada.

A 2021 report by the Rand Corporation found that Canadian prices were just 46 per cent of those in the United States because Ottawa limits how much drugmakers can charge for medicines. The U.S. lets the free market dictate drug prices.

Literally. We could simply set our own identical price controls.

You think it'll make money? The Avengers game barely made any money, right? And that was the Avengers. There have been two Suicide Squad movie bombs.

The enthusiast audience who could name Rocksteady already know this thing is radioactive.
