They make it sound like not having stamping is helping them by not requiring expensive machines and a factory with a high ceiling. I’m betting they’re outsourcing the stamping. I’m also betting that they won’t ever deliver a truck.

Definitely not cast. Some suspension parts are cast but most car frames are made from stamped sheet metal welded/bonded together.

refraining from encouraging IP’s directly benefitting her could distract her or even send a message to her potential allies.

I also think that isn’t worth it. You’re still letting some rich moron’s actions have too much sway over your mental health. What you’re describing is the most tiny of marginal gains. Her IPs are already dying in relevance. Your energy would be better spent telling people about how cool some other thing is rather than how bad HP is. If someone loves HP and it makes them happy, I see no benefit to raining on their parade.

No paint because you’re injection molding body panels? Sounds good.

No stamping? How are you getting away with that? Are they just outsourcing the stamping for frame parts? There’s no way this thing doesn’t require stamped frame components.

Tbh, this feels like vaporware. I’ll believe it when I see them actually being delivered.

I disagree with this take. Buying HP stuff won’t change anything. Not “it will change very little”. It will actually do nothing. If the whole world decided to stop buying anything that gave her money, it wouldn’t change her lifestyle at all. She already made enough money that she never has to consider it for her lifestyle. People might as well enjoy what they like and not have one more thing weighing on their mental health. Let people have their escapism.

Didn’t Hermione lead a campaign to liberate house elves but was laughed at by everyone until she dropped it?

Then Harry frees one elf and is considered a hero while the person trying to solve the systemic problems is a whiny bitch. She’s showing how she thinks about the world with that one.

Historically, I think milk cartons had pictures of missing people on them to increase the chances someone recognized them. It looks like this carton is for a kid’s school lunch. I guess with the association with missing people, they figured it was a good idea to give kids some good advice to keep from going missing. Milkwalker is a strange spokesman for the message, though

Playing pairs again, huh

When I play a single six, tear up the card, draw a card from my pocket and turn the board into 5 of a kind 7s and we all chop the pot

Whether he’s part of ms-13 or not is irrelevant. If the government has such solid evidence, then he could surely stand trial. The character of the victim isn’t important. The complete disrespect of the constitution, the courts, and thus rule of law is what’s important.

I think the comic is incorrect. I think the fruit (not specifically an apple) had the knowledge of good and evil. That’s a lot less.

My downstairs neighbors were a couple that would occasionally argue and I would hear the lady crying. Seemed kinda sad but not really my business. Well one day he moved out. The lady catches me outside and tells me that he was abusing her, lawyers are involved and he’s not allowed near the property. She wanted me to let her know if I saw him around. This couple…were my landlords. The property management company was in her name and the house itself was in his name. It’s been an awkward time since.

Also the sound in that game is absolutely top tier. It’s very easy to pinpoint a location of a sound, making noise a high priority while moving around.

A friend gave me this book because they heard I liked sci Fi. I started it. I guess I’m glad I bounced off it.

Even if he gave away nearly all his wealth to help the needy, that doesn’t fix the problem. Ultimately it’s the choice of the rich what to do with their money and most of them won’t choose to give it away. Changing the system is more important than one rich person being generous.

I’m colorblind and the images are nearly identical. Good thing I’m not in tiger habitats very often.

It will not become

Maybe even some threaded rod with nuts and washers at each end.

1. Even if they are, China’s military buildup seems squarely aimed at an invasion of Taiwan. China would just need to ramp up it’s missile defenses to counter that deterrent.

2. Nation leaders often miscalculate the risk/reward of going to war. Look at Russia’s invasion of Ukraine for an obvious example. Even if Taiwanese missiles would heavily impact China, that doesn’t mean they’ll understand that. They may also figure that China will be able to deal with it and still come out on top (and they might be right).

3. Almost every war game and analyst predicts the invasion starting with a huge barrage of missiles from China. The first strikes would be designed to cripple Taiwan’s ability to defend itself/retaliate. Many of the missiles aimed at China would be destroyed before being launched.

4. In war games, it’s assumed that the US will be at war with China along with a coalition of Pacific nations assisting. Even with all this support, Taiwan is defended, but only barely. The current administration is focused inward to the point of being much less likely to assist Taiwan or, at least assist much less than war games assume. China may feel pressured to strike during the current administration so Taiwan doesn’t have has much help.
