What stops them from selling the clothing outside of the EU to get destroyed?

No wonder South Koreans aren't having kids anymore.

You drive your Audi, BMW, Porsche. Mercedes. I'm gonna drive a Toyota or a Honda since I don't like costly repairs, subscription chair heaters or getting screwed over.

The planet is going to be just fine. We as a species might not. Burning gas for AI slop. Great. Also not sustainable, as a business or otherwise. Ten years ago it was cryptocurrencies, now it's AI. Just new ways to burn electricity for

Well anything with people's in its name is basicaly authoritarian, just like the DPRK or PRC. The EPP also gave us migrant quotas, chat control and punished Greece for its debt.

Hmm most MPs from Renew, Greens and eurosceptics (ECR) from my country voted yes. I'm a bit surprised since some of those are hardliner Christian conservatives that I'd never vote for under any circumstances.

We carry the dog in a crate fastened with straps. This is the safest way to transport a dog in a car. The seatbelt was not practical to fasten the crate. The crate sits in the trunk of our hatchback crossover with the seat in front of it co

> bring new percentages for extremist parties Yup, go set up an EU Stasi ready for them when they get to run the show. What is there to debate? The US and Israel have attacked Iran without a very clear plan to prevent it from acquiring n

One can still make a good design within the legal requirement. It doesn't say how many dB the beeper has to have or adjust the level of assistance. Maybe pressure from Chinese manufacturers will force them to get their stuff together,

The kids will wake up a few times, then just get used and grow up to ignore all the annoying beeps. My boss sometimes drives without a belt while the car keeps beeping and he succesfully ignores it.

Maybe that's part of why VW had to fire 100k employees? They've been lately doing a subpar job designing cars.

Does soaking the beeper with water trigger a modification clause? Annoying alarms trigger driver distresss which has equally negative effect on attention while driving. We had a replacement Yaris that had the speed alarms but one could lowe

Yes. Basically Eastern Europe, which is what the US actually needed. Bulgaria speculated a bit for the opportunity to spend 1bn on weapons for their second hand F16s (better than plowing MiG 21s that they had). Probably also why we now have

I agree, but luckily my terrier apparently doesn't give a poo about fireworks. Probably nobody jad thrown fireworks at him yet. My inlaws' country dog (also a fox terrier mix with the same temperament) growls at people, especially

If the EU funds go only towards EU companies, the bureaucrats will have no choice but to say "oh well, we tried but the funds would have been lost otherwise, Bruxelles is to blame" . The EU company could still resell US services

Right. The plan will just exclude Hungary and whatever other trojan state run by monkeys like Orbán and Fico vetoes it. If the original EU states prior to 2004 plus Poland decide that it's getting done, it will get done eventually. Mem

They don't have any problem with impact from EVs on the grid, but god forbid AC units. One could obviously solve the peoblem with rooftop solar, which peaks just when you need AC the most.

The leftists are free to sweat or freeze to the point of exhaustion then. Modern AC units with heat pumps are just great. I'm going to install one myself soon.

The tobacco company lobbyists probably applied their whitewashing know how to social media after being done with industrialized foods. They're also likely on Meta's payroll now. Age checks are part if that. They will just feed the

They saw Sweeden and freaked out, Denmark being already a nanny state.

In the end the only winner that emerges out of this is China. Tge EU is over regulating everything, the current US administration is randomly banning things left and right.

The Federal Government has better guns and people accustomed to violence on their payroll.

The MSM doesn't count as much because of social media noise and paywalls. One could always control the narrative with tweets written in caps with multiple exclamation signs that the MSM reproduces and amplifies for fun and prifit.

Instagram is just as worse.

It's would probably just burn more gas and make the climate even worse. Some assholes will get richer in the process.

Who cares about them, at least maybe there might be another viable nuclear reactor after they throw a lot of money at it. They lost money on dumb stuff: the metaverse, VR. By all means, throw money at a few nuclear reactors, at least those

It basically Silver Thursday all over again but with RAM. I wish they crash and burn like the Hunt brothers did, Altman goes the way of Sam Bankman-Fried and Micron gets bought by the Chinese. That's what they all deserve.

If some unknown numbers calls me and they're not a courier or the bank (which rarely calls) I immediately assume it's a scammer.
