Weirdly, you don’t see that behavior from Chinese tourists in China. Well I did see one dude have hus toddler piss on the floor of a train because the bathroom was occupied, but he got yelled at, because in chinese culture, its considered disrespectful to piss on the floor. They even have a concept called “别他妈的往地板上撒尿”.

Other than brakes, tires, oil, maybe a chain+sprocket when they start to look sad, what kind of repairs?
Maybe start looking at used Hondas?

Did it have the desired effect of changing the policy or torpedoing the department hard enough she was replaced?
- Comment on Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident? 1 week ago:
We did already, when MacArthur razed the Bonus Army. FDR was elected the next election and bought some guillotine insurance in the form of taxes and social programs.

big animal threats
They don’t have to be threatening, just big, and a good source of meat. Plenty of docile megafauna went extinct in places just as soon as humans arrived.

Why do people do this? It doesn’t look enjoyable.

I will judge people who go drive in the snow and don’t even take a few minutes to do donuts in a parking lot to figure how the car behaves.
- Comment on But think of the landlords! 2 weeks ago:
Once you find the exact material and labor required to meet specifications, spending more to exceed them is simply wasteful.
If you want modern engineering to build something that will last 2000 years with minimal maintaince, it’ll be expensive and kinda shitty to live in.

If you have a place to store your stuff, maybe look at other countries. Living in America was very depressing.

Being one iota better than Trump isn’t enough when you actively tell your own base to fuck off and send the police to kick the shit out of the politically activated youth who make up your ground game.
When the Torries win next election, will it be evidence that the UK likes whoever is elected queen, or that Labor has killed any hope their base had of Labor enacting their will?

germany used to buy their uranium from France but also from Russia and China.
Kazakhstan is going to remain neutral in any conflicts, and they produce shittons of uranium, so does Canada IIRC.
There’s also a certain former French colonies looking to sell uranium at market rates, instead of the pennies the French were getting it for.

- Comment on Meta is closing down three VR studios as part of its metaverse cuts 3 weeks ago:
How have they affected government policy, beyond Roblox probably causing some laws being passed about exploitation and protection of minors?
You have a point, I think the big thing FB failed to capitalize on is that someone who wants to use ChatVR or Roblox has to go into chatVR or roblox. FB had an opportunity to build an entire ecosystem they control, and they failed to get anyone inside of it.
I genuinely have no idea how they managed to spend that much money and not get a single decent app. Horizons literally looked like a tech demo someone slapped together for a gamejam or something.
- Comment on Meta is closing down three VR studios as part of its metaverse cuts 3 weeks ago:
there are other versions of the metaverse that work very well and are making money.
What do you mean?
- Comment on Meta is closing down three VR studios as part of its metaverse cuts 3 weeks ago:
The real selling point would be that everyone else is using it and you need to use it to interact with them, same with FB. How many people are still forced to maintain a FB account to talk to their boomer relatives?
- Comment on Meta is closing down three VR studios as part of its metaverse cuts 3 weeks ago:
completely predictable outcome of an obviously stupid fucking idea
Nah, it could have worked if Meta started by
-
sell the hardware to businesses and schools at a loss, with a requirement users be able to take the sets home.
-
Publish standards to allow all apps to have multiplayer and compatible full body avatars, same control scheme, movement, etc.
-
buying up VRChat and any other apps with a large user base, refactoring them for compatibility.
-
Develop and release free multiuser apps, from virtual office/meetings to virtual movies to home decor.
Somehow FB didn’t even try to exploit the same effects that forced everyone into Apple, MS, and FB.

Juipiter’s orbit wobbles it, as others said, the barycenter of the system is outside the sun’s radius, but the scale of the planets vs their orbits is so great such a small wobble is imperceptable if you can see multiple orbits.
