Yes, that's how it's pronounced after you drink it.

Good thing you stopped wasting money on that shit. 👍

Nah, it's not really thanks to Trump, he only helped a little bit. American car production is one of the most protected in the world. But that was the case before Trump too. Countries like Brazil are of course way worse all the way back since the 50's, and their car industry is utterly unable to compete internationally.

So in USA American manufacturers don't have to compete with China, but in international markets they do, and I think American manufacturers are losing ground almost everywhere outside USA.

Goddammit you are right, this is what I got from a Google search:

Loot Boxes (2004/2010): While randomized items originated in earlier Eastern games, Valve introduced loot crates (crates and keys) to the Western market in Team Fortress 2 (2010)

I checked to verify the information, as it was part of an AI response. And it is true.
But at least it was a free to play game. Later other companies also had it in games that were charged full price for.

Well then I don't care so much, because that's a cooperate problem. Do like the major information companies do, and use standard hardware and build it with redundancies, instead of the overpriced server shit.

I guess that's the sad truth.

No it's not, that's like saying the whole point of a joke is for people not to get it.

Snaps is something you drink.
AFAIK only users who have it shoved down their throat by Ubuntu use snap packages.

It's amazing all the simple things AI can't do.

AFAIK loot boxes are illegal in many European countries.
If you (Valve) want to monetize, do it properly, and sell the skins where you can see what you buy, and eliminate the gambling aspect completely.
It's the only thing that should be legal, because it's the only thing that is morally defensible.
Sad that Valve is participating in this shit.

You don't know what you are talking about, research has clearly shown that sarcasm is often missed, even among people that know each other. Even between husband and wife. And note this research is on SPOKEN sarcasm, where you have hints in intonation. Written sarcasm is even worse.

Alas, I do not care if someone who does not understand sarcasm does not get what I mean.

If you don't care if people get it, why then post anything?

FDM warns of errors in several models from Tesla, and FDM has now been successful by the Danish Road Safety Authority. FDM has previously described that there are several cases of significant veil in the rear suspension and in the steering column of the popular Model 3.

The Danish Road Safety Authority has stated that the motorists' interest organization, FDM, rightly did not approve two Tesla Model 3 by sight after the car owners had independently complained about the demand for omsyn.

FDM said in a statement.

In both cases, the sight results were due to "too much veil in bushings in rear-wheel suspension".

However, Tesla found no faults and thought the electric cars should have been approved, which led to complaints and the Traffic Agency's review. Many Teslas have "veil in the bushing"

The agency concludes that the cars had a significant veil and that the vision had been carried out correctly in both cases.

Earlier in the year, the FDM warned that there are many Teslas that have veils in bushings in the rear-wheel suspension and in the steering column. See also FDM comes with call for Tesla owners

Veils in rear suspensions mean that there is a looseness or abnormal movement in the parts that connect the car's rear wheel to the car itself.

This applies to both the Model 3 and Model Y. According to FDM, around 37,000 Model 3 and more than 40,000 Model Y have been registered in Denmark. The error is seen on newer cars

Usually you first see the problem on older cars, which have driven many kilometers, but FDM has seen several models with the error early in the life expectancy of the cars.

It creates doubts about the safety of cars, writes FDM, who has contacted Tesla to get the company to solve the problems. See also Tesla gets fined for flawed marketing

"We expect Tesla to help drivers, as it is not fair that the consumer has an additional cost of repair and possibly overhaul, because the car has a fault it shouldn't have," said Lone Otto, area manager in FDM's technical advice.

At the beginning of the year, FDM said that almost one in four Model 3 from the year 2020, which last year was for inspection, failed - among other things because of veils.

For other electric cars, the dump percentage was nine.

The main motorist interest group in Denmark strongly suggest people who own a Tesla model 3 or model Y have their cars safety checked before warranty expires.

Loosely translated:
Among the problems are play in the steering wheel, and bad suspension.

These problems are normally only seen on way older cars with heavy mileage. These problems are worrying because these parts impact the safety of the car.

Tesla however is claiming if the play is within the limits of the service manual, they will not have an impact on safety. "We design our vehicles so they exceed safety regulations." literal translation!
/translation summary

Lately newer cars from Tesla have failed 25-30% legally mandatory inspections, and Tesla is spewing bullshit about it!
It's not up to Tesla to decide safety standards. and failing to such high degrees right after warranty, is definitely not exceeding safety standards!

I'm stressing the European parts, because my post from yesterday about Russian losses in Ukraine war was removed as "off topic".
Despite this sub is about:
News and information from Europe 🇪🇺

 

Den Europæiske Menneskerettighedsdomstol har dømt Danmark, efter en mand afgik ved døden i en benlås i Kolding Arrest i 2011.

 

Merz pointed out that the restrictions have been lifted not only on German weapons.

"There are no longer any restrictions on the range of weapons delivered to Ukraine, neither by the UK, France, nor us. There are no restrictions by the US either,"

 

Putin is getting more and more desperate. As he is running out of options, he is just increasing the meat waves!
