Where exactly is the nuance in this? I pity the smoker more because they don’t have to smoke but feel compelled to smoke through addiction. You have direct control over how many calories you consume and it’s a basic human instinct to eat. S

I’m talking about locals living in Chinese. What you’re talking about is tangential, but the single use culture is astronomical and their middle class outnumbers Europe and USA because of their large population who participate in this singl

The issue is China. Most of Europe and USA have laws that disuade single use plastics. In China where you can get door to door delivery for a single cup of bubble tea that includes, a plastic cup, lid, straw, and spoon, plastic holder to k

I don’t know, did he really change really anything? It doesn’t feel like it at least. Outside of the tech community, he’s not really known except for being that guy who leaked things.

The market was/is responding to the environment that was created by the department of education. It’s quite weird that you blame solely ‘the market’ but totally ignore the role the federal gov has had in this. I read somewhere about 90

It’s important to note that data during the initial part of the pandemic was grossly inflated. The statistics and cause of death was attributed to COVID if you simply had presence of the virus in your body regardless how you died. The virus

There’s a lot to talk about here for sure and I read all your post it was very thoughtful. I think the tools he is using is available to everyone. So it’s not like the others are at a disadvantage inherently but are choosing to be at a disa

Where does it say it’s “full self driving”? “Autopilot is a hands-on driver assistance system that is intended to be used only with a fully attentive driver. It does not turn a Tesla into a self-driving vehicle nor does it make a vehicle au

I disagree it’s well understood L2 requires human intervention. Sounds like you have higher expectations of the capabilities than what the system offers. It’s an assist. That’s it. Whether it’s driving or not isn’t the focus here it’s the

I’m in the ballpark you are given warning that you must be in control at all times. It’s not a multi page agreement it’s a simple and direct message that anyone should be able to digest. Send people back to the DMV and make them take a self

The difference is population, there are A LOT of Chinese that are in the rural areas still making very little. European wealth is generational. Land and homes that have been in the family from infrastructure that has stood the test of time.

Is this supposed to be in defense of weed? At least cigarette smell is agreed to be distasteful around others. Smokers have gotten better at making sure they don’t smoke right in front of your face. The amount of assholes I’ve seen light up

My main issue since legalization is I find the smell disgusting. It also imbues and latches itself onto to whatever is around you. Now legalization has people smoking it in my apartment complex or at restaurants and the smell just lingers a

Its not doom slinging. They have a target and even with all the raises they have done they cannot hit that target as banks are clearly under stress or they would raise more. This should come across as odd to you. The historical norm has bee

As someone else pointed out at 3% , it's at least 50% above the target I don't see how someone can consider that small. Cherry picking historical data as a way to hand wave that fact is disengenious at best. Even if for some reaso
