I’m also pretty certain that the stock would absolutely tank if he left.

He’s a fucking idiot, but the current valuation has zero basis in reality outside of his personality-cult. If that’s gone, all they are is a struggling mid-sized car company.

I lived a few years in the UK and the plugs really annoyed me compared to F.

They were really bulky but also uni-directional. So there was a lot less flexibility in tight spaces (which with the size of London flats…there were a lot of!)

I think some of it comes down to what your brain is used to.

I usually use mouse/keyboard, that kind of constant movement from holding the stick in a certain position is kind of foreign to me. Whereas having the right track pad basically emulating a trackpall mouse instantly felt really natural. In this case it’s like a mouse in that your movement directly translates to camera movement.

You may just be more used to analog sticks

I loooove my steam controller for first-person games. The right track pad for camera controls just clicks with me. I guess it’s because I’m a PC gamer first and foremost, so I’m used to mouse-like aiming rather than the analog-style stick aiming.

I never really used the left track pad though…

That being said, I was let down by the steam deck trackpads. Maybe I just have big hands, but I could never use the right track pad the same way I do with the steam controller.

Also a general comment: AA/AAA is the best if you get some rechargable batteries. No waiting for charging when something is out of juice! Plus you can just get a new set of batteries if they ever die instead of a whole new controller

The worst part is… If you’ve ever had the pleasure of working with an American company you’ll notice just how unproductive they are.

Obviously the two are closely connected, but it’s always fascinating to me

I was thinking North Macedonia or something, but then I remembered that the post referenced pounds

It’s been probably 25 years since I read it and I can still remember what an impression it made.

Big recommend!

We use Cursor at work and I find it quite useful for quickly putting together something brand new, but fairly painful to try to do anything connected to expanding our existing codebase.

I often run into situations where getting it to do what I want takes longer than just coding something myself.

It’s also the biggest language (in terms of native speakers) in the EU. Not that it’s anywhere close to a majority…

Unfortunately you cant, that’s why they are getting thrown out and looking at paying 1500€ soon

Also “sausage”, which is just a general term for all sausages in Europe

It’s technically a QWERTY-variant, but I use EurKey

It’s fun, but it being in Spanish kind of debunks it, unfortunately.

I used to spend some time on ocean vessels and listening to the captains of all the ships yap at each other in broken sea-english (since it’s the international lamgauage) was one of my favorite bits!

She (similar to Reagan in the US) enacted a massive shift in government/society from a more social-democratic focus to a more (economocally) liberal one. Her big goals were to privatize and financialize as much as possible.

This ended up leading to (as it always does) massive increases in inequality, with particularly rural/industrial regions suffering heavily while the services/financial sector in London boomed.

So she is EXTREMELY polarizing. Many conservatives or big-business types worship her, while for many/most others she’s seen as the worst thing to happen to the UK.

Cars in cities.

You don’t realize how insane they are until you spend time somewhere without them.

I had this too! I think my high frequency hearing is just really good.

I recently was at a wedding and only the little kids and myself (in my 30s) were really annoyed by this device the venue had which used high frequency beeps to scare away rodents and things.

Both were really intense for me, but Jurassic Bark can’t be topped (personally)

The physical design was somewhat similar but if you look at old footage from cities you’ll see that walking on the street was completely normal.

There didn’t yet exist this idea that we have to leave 80% of the street exclusively for cars.

I’m genuinely confused how you think that these two examples of internal uprisings are at all connected to someone saying effectively “don’t count on international law to mean anything since there isn’t any body to enforce it”

Germany is actually trending the other way. Modern Parlaments have more parties than they did in the past.
