I'd love to see that. And then see Lando just come up short by 2 points or something, or get a bullshit penalty. Oscar's win at Hungary will be the decider for this WDC and that will be definite proof that some of this stuff is scripted.

For when you REALLY don't want your husband to live in Trump's America

I think it's pretty much impossible to fully get out of filter bubbles, but the only way to really get every view on everything is to be part of everything mainstream AND everything more underground. Personally, I don't feel the need to associate with any other social media. I think toxicity differs from being exposed to a different point of view.

Reddit has had the problem for years that if you tried to make a point that slightly differed from the hive mind's opinion, however eloquently you would put it, everyone would just pile on with their 'akshually' mentality and not even be open to any other viewpoint than their own.

And that's toxicity without even mentioning folks that would just say 'no' followed by hateful language.

I feel Lemmy is a far kinder, more balanced community where you can have a polite discussion about stuff. And OP is right, if a certain instance shows its users can't behave or have such different views than your own, you can just make them go away and enjoy the rest of Lemmy.

I just hope those users don't defederate from the rest of us so at some point they will have a more nuanced view of things.

The downside of that is the filter bubble or echo chamber effect. Question is whether Lemmy should be a fun experience for you or something to broaden your horizons a little

So, if anyone knows of a costume of this guy who is out of his burn out and doing well and stuff... I'd very much like to know.

Thank you for your service.

On topic: I am pretty sure the RB in VCARB is already for Racing Bulls because they landed on it earlier. I much preferred AlphaTauri actually. Toro Rosso is fine also.

I thought they didn't want to do Racing Bulls because it only hints at Red Bull affiliation yet looks too much like it. In that sense, I think the AlphaTauri branding was excellent. Hugely different colour scheme, very different name, but it's clearly the daughter (let's be honest) team.

Or better yet, New New New York's!

I'm fairly certain there's a Futurama episode on this topic

Maybe it's only in the A52s, not the A52.

While it is definitely true that China puts a lot of questionable electronics into the world, it is still a country with a huge amount of 'independent' tech researchers. Independent in the sense that they pretty much have to keep it all within Chinese circles.

If you compare it to South Korea, they are on the forefront of certain mainstay innovation tracks by cooperating narrowly with researchers from their target demographic, like the United States. The Chinese don't have that luxury, yet they are conducting the research by buying products from Japan, the US, Korea and Europe, deconstructing and then reconstructing them. For Europe and the US, this is highly illegal due to patent law.

Thing is, though: there are loads of brilliant Chinese people due to its sheer size. It's a numbers game, if you have a 1bn population, the top of the line folks are going to be numerous. Most of them get their education somewhere outside China and then bring all the knowledge back to their own unis and companies.

It's really no surprise China has made one of the best electric car, how a company like Xiaomi is present virtually everywhere and Huawei got so far, the US and Europe really had to take a good look if their tech wasn't just a massive spy program. Tencent is so huge, most telco and gaming companies have some collaboration with it. ByteDance is the supplier of the number one spyware app ever with over a billion users worldwide who are happy to provide them with tons of data.

This is without even mentioning that most of your electronics are made in China anyway, which has given them the edge of seeing exactly how the sausage is made, sausage in this case being lithium batteries. They have figured out long ago that if they can become the sole supplier of batteries, they will be in all devices around the world. They have been keeping an eye on Africa to get a foothold in the lithium mines and they have figured out cobalt is the difficult part. They don't really care about the toxicity and the child labour, but the scarcity and mining difficulties are a concern. So they tried to replace it with all kinds of materials and sulfur seems to be a very promising alternative, and it is as abundant and easy as sand.

The Chinese know what they're doing and if not for our ideological differences, they could have easily surpassed the United States as the de facto power that everyone follows blindly.

Hey, as long as it's profit for the shareholders, let them fight

What was it again? Grandfather B?

Okay, so... What

Dunno about this company specifically but Li-S shows a lot ff promise for energy density - there are just some complex hurdles. Article about Li-S

My A52s has a built-in function to not let it charge above 80. I keep it on unless I need the extra 20% for instance when I'm away for a while.

TL;DR: Yes, no change for vertical areas but less wet in horizontal areas.
