What I don't understand is how the production is sold through to 2027. Assuming it's not a fake claim,

• Are they making just a handful?
• If people were buying them to get on the list for the "hyper exclusive" Ferraris that they don't offer to a first time buyer, could people not have bought a cheaper model?
• Was there that much demand for a Ferrari EV that people are willing to buy the Leaf-errari regardless of cost and aesthetics?
• Are there that many people that like the aesthetic despite the public opinion being seemingly so against it?
• If people who bought it are doing it for bragging rights but don't care about the aesthetic, why are they buying this turd instead of a sports car or the SUV thing that looks kind-of-ok?

I just don't understand...

I profoundly dislike the philosophy of renting rather than owning your compute, but with the current price of components, I just can't be bothered to buy a gaming PC. I have a steam deck and a £10 subscription to GeForce now, and with this I'm sorted for pretty much anything.

For the £120 that it costs me a year, I could barely buy a 16 GB RAM stick, let alone a 3060 RTX... It would cost me 10-15 years worth of the subscription to buy something equivalent and there's no way anything with those specs is staying relevant any longer than 5.

I've reported it too, probably it won't have an effect but we might as well try

I don't think it's quite like that, I think it's more that an important part of these drugs is the release mechanism - and any two given brands will work differently for a given person.

I take long release methylphenidate (Ritalin/Concerta being the most known brands). I started with Medikinet because that's the main recommendation from my healthcare provider. It turned out it releases most of the dosage in the short term and at 40mg doses I constantly felt like I was at an airport with my boarding gate closing in seconds.

Moved to Meflynate, which is also methylphenidate hydrochloride, and now I'm a happy bunny.

My point being - it's not that generics are bad necessarily, it's more like, only a certain brand(s) will work for you. Whether for you that's the more expensive or cheaper one, it's a bit of a lottery really.

They're absolutely failing because the execs are hype-driven clowns who focus on the wrong metrics.

"Failing to drive rapid revenue growth", WTF. Leaving aside whether GenAI is a useful technology or not, it's never been a technology to "drive rapid revenue growth", just like Microsoft Office, or calculators, or a million other technologies.

This is all just a pipe dream from a clueless exec class that prioritises short-term profits and hoped that implementing a glorified autocorrect would make people flock en masse to their random product. Why would you think an AI chatbot in your online clothes shop would make me like your ill-fitting jeans any better, you overpaid monkey?

Maybe you could have hoped for employees to achieve a "5% productivity increase" or something mildly realistic, but no, your brain-eating slugs told you to shoehorn AI into everything and 👏We 👏Don't 👏Need👏AI👏Fucking👏Everywhere👏

I know I'm preaching to the choir but I needed the rant.

Could any kind soul provide a TL;DW for those of us who can't watch a video (for whatever reason)?

Because if people's opinions didn't matter to you, you wouldn't be feeling insecure, and thus this post isn't for you.

Tolerance requires rejecting intolerant people.

I won't be the one calling the UK blameless, but that's rich coming from the country that's doing what they are with ICE (which is just the latest one in a long list).

In the countries where healthcare has existed (and worked) for decades, there are additional taxes to alcohol, sugar, tobacco, petrol to cover for this.

And also yeah, and I have no problem whatsoever knowing that a small part of my salary goes towards saving the life of people who wouldn't be able to afford private healthcare. That's called empathy - and I wish that'd sink in as well.

Because he might not be "Middle Eastern" or "Dictator" but he behaves exactly like "some sort of Middle Eastern Dictator".

Yeah she sounds like the particular brand of idiot that we have in the UK. I fortunately don't see that many of those... but still enough to find that sort of attitude recognisable.
