This is the most important part, I think. Everybody is hyping Paris like the end of the car is near, but in fact it's just an action to get some money from visitors and other external people. Don't see how this might change transp

True! Also you can pay 2 €/month to Hetzner/$webhosterofchoice and have them handle that for you... No need for Google after all is what I want to say.

True! On the other hand, my parents have a used Sandero and it's fine. It's not "much car", but it's a car and it will get you from A to B, but not much more. If you really think about it, it's mindblowing just

Don't worry, none of Santas 478 partners who he shares your personal information with has any bad intentions.

Having FSD in 12 month from now is/was probably _THE_ selling point for Teslas. I'd feel somewhat deceived if the CEO is repeating that over 9 years and not delivering.

Markus Söder is currently busy with getting a ban on gendered words going in schools. Obviously that's much more important than anything else. Prost! :-)

Does this hold up in court? At least in Germany any contracts that are heavily in favor of one side will be declared void if it comes to court.

For everybody complaining about the non-transformative character of PDF: There are several PDF standards out in the wild. In the graphic industry we mainly use PDF/X files. These are very solid and precise in defining the layout and ho

Of course it's not a high bar, but I think that's the point. People eat lots of food for the taste, not for the highest quality of ingredients. So, if we'd just call them "nuggets" from the beginning on and would ha
