In case you don’t recognize them, the one on the pedestal is Trump and:

If you’re hesitant whether to watch, don’t. It’s not a video essay as I expected, it’s a fanservice compilation set to mediocre music. Mature content so it doesn’t even open in NewPipe.

To complain about bullfinches?
Yes, but you still need to pretend you did, know some jargon and be all smug about it.
Unfortunately it’s full of crypto and conspiracy weirdos so you really need to create your own curated feed to only watch science/tech videos (or whatever you like).
Rošťák Pat, rošťák Pat, rošťák Pat má náramný svět.
Vstává brzy ráno,
kocour mňoukne ano.
Pak už oba s poštou vyráží.
Rošťák Pat, rošťák Pat, rošťák Pat má náramný svět.
z rána slunce svítí,
v trávě voní kvítí,
rošťák lidem sraní rozváží.
Nikdy netušíš, kdy příjde k vám,
kdy se před domem auto začervená.
Já sám vždycky pozor si dám,
klepání, cink, a už psaní mám.
Rošťák Pat, rošťák Pat, rošťák Pat má náramný svět.

It’s U+E001 from a Private Use Area. The UnicodePad app renders it as something between 鉮 and 鋁 (separate boxes stricken through; I wasn’t able to find it even with Google Lens)

Oh well, at least the error animals are foxes and not a really weirdly drawn dinosaur
Which pointless rebrand? I actually like “moz://a”.
Aliens are very much not predators. There is a movie I haven’t seen but I imagine it’s all about outlining the differences.
Did you read the whole sentence?
Mobile websites… as in moving, not for touch devices, I suppose.
I imagine lots of people thought the same in 1995.
We have enough land and material to build a shack for an EV that we wouldn’t care about burning down. His major concern is the repairability: allegedly the service station can quarantine the car if the battery is a little too warm at cost to the owner and potentially never return it. And a lot of them “will just straight-up deny service” in fear of a HVDC electric shock, which is allegedly not deadly but forces the technician to undergo 5 days off work for electrolysis blood testing.
A friendly German family bought a hybrid that isn’t even plug-in… in 2023. It still has incandescent lamps. These people REALLY put very little thought into the real cost of keeping a gas engine running for 15 years, especially with projected gas prices in Germany (already 80% higher than here). At least I don’t feel guilty because I had no say in that.
Yes, my father finds the mechanic he goes to friendly but he needs to realize the EV alternative is not finding another but needing no mechanic for the most part.
I don’t have much money but I can cause some leverage by only allowing loans on my name on a pure EV, no matter the size. Even the mechanic said rental for the road trips is easier than we think, and when my parents travel alone even German trains are cheaper than fuel. The mechanic’s views are certainly outdated, he also said EV owners keep running over cats at night because the cars are too quiet but they have mandatory speakers now.
Don’t worry, every spare module in the cars, regardless of their drivetrain, has a chip that needs to be paired at great cost so they’ll get people buying new cars anyway through cost of ownership alone. This fuckery started with electric cars to create FUD around them and protect legacy motor companies’ decades of investments into engines.
Our family will be buying a new car in 2-4 years. My father has doubts about EVs even though our use case is perfect for them: we drive 15 minutes to town and back, and the once-per-year road trips to Germany can be covered by their charging network; it’s not physiologically feasible for any one of us to safely drive over 3 hours straight anyway. He is critical since the technician absolutely lambasted electric cars for how dangerous they are to work on, and that they are uninsurable in garages because of the fire risk etc. How do I convince him that it makes little sense to still use a gas or hybrid for the next 12-15 years?
This is what happens when you elect someone whose model is known to be Putin. I’m afraid he’ll settle for Antarctica, US and Russia are exempt from the “no more claims” clause of the UN treaty.
