Brazil shuts BYD factory site over ‘slavery’ conditions

From 2016 and still true today:

Chinese Government Subsidies Play Major Part In Electric Car Maker BYD’s Rise

Yeah, subsidies and other benefits from governments exist but China is going all in.

They all look ai, especially the kid at the bottom whose hair is the only thing in the pic. If he has 5 kids that is probably supposed to be his daughter.

They all look weirdly posed too, but with the warhammer 4k tank in the back I think it might be real and they are all just weird looking.

I would assume secretlyaddictedtolinux@lemmy.world whose last post and comments were pretending to be dying in the least believable way.

I predict she will still vote Republican the next go around for similar stupid reasons.

If people don’t want to be ‘insulted’ by low offer then they shouldn’t present it in a format that allows for offers that are ‘too low’. It would take less time to reject the bid they allowed to happen than to write a response.

I have personally purchased at least one thing for 10% of the asking price (around $500) because I was the only one who wanted it and they wanted to get rid of it. That was what it was worth to me, I wasn’t trying to haggle or anything, just made an offhand offer when walking by.

Your point is a valid one! Just not in the context of discoverability.

The more I know the dumber I feel when I make a stupid mistake.

It isn’t that I am dumber, but I do feel dumber.

I’m probably going to get the exact math wrong, but statistically approaching the end of a range has a bigger impact than in the middle.

100% lower would mean zero emissions. If the car went from 50% to 25% the percentage from the starting point is 25% comparatively, but the 25% is half of 50% so it is twice as close to zero.

Going from 27% to 22% is an 18.% improvement compared to 27% (if I remember the match correctly). That pretty much means that the last 20% or so is manufacturing and maintenance of the EV and the renewable infrastructure.

“We still identify with the party of hate, but that is just too hateful!”

If they typed out an explanation like the game was massively changed for the worse after the vast majority of their game time then they are probably legit. Like if there was suddenly an additional 3rd party login added, or the game became unplayable due to a bug introduced and not fixed, or something along those lines.

Most “reasons” for players with thousands of hours tend to be pretty reasonable in my experience.

There is a sweet spot where you put it off a bit but think it through while stressing, then spend the time powering through it while leaving some time to spare in case you screw it up. Only took a couple of decades to get decent at estimating!

It isn’t unique to ADHD, but it is very common with ADHD. Pretty much everything that defines ADHD is something everyone does but dialed up to the point that it is a disorder.

Licensing is a different issue than wanting to emphasize music discovery.

More music, more discovery.

It is super easy to discreetly open a folding knife in a fraction of a second before use. No longer than a spring loaded knife or one with a thumb opener thingy or one in a sheath.

You just said

No reason to carry knives in public

Pistols are military weaponry. Most pistols are designed for sale to militaries as their primary audience.

Regular pump shotguns were used in WWII for clearing trenches. The really common AR-15 in the US is a very close equivalent of the M16. Most hunting rifles are comparable to most sniper rifles.

Which small arms are used mainly comes down to what is available to carry, what ammunition is available, and how well they hold up in local conditions. The AK range is extremely popular because it holds up extremely well in a wide variety of conditions with minimal maintenance and it does especially well in desert/sandy conditions compared to almost every other rifle. It is also mass produced in a ton of places and as a result ammunition is plentiful.

They mainly use weapons produced for militaries because that is what is available and reliable enough for their use. They would have used any small arms they could get their hands on that performed as well.

This entire comment chain started with your comment that began with it as a right and the US has not been mentioned once.

I think the right to have a gun should also include the legal requirement to take and pass a tactical shoot course.

Sorry for engaging with your premise!

Odds are just as high that the example $360 is an insultingly inflated price just like the $20 is likely to be far lower than what someone else is willing to spend on whatever is being sold.
