TLightful··on Japan's cherry blossom 'earliest peak since records began'
Yay, technology and adaptability will allows us all, eventually, to exist drinking dust and looking after termites as pets.
TLightful··on Voltswagen of America
Entirely appropriate for the new direction.

I dig it ... (speaking as someone who still sees their average cars as steam engine, emission test defeaters)

TLightful··on Female Founder Secrets: Men Clamming Up
>>Given the context is the dogmatic approach to office culture, this comment is super ironic. Of course the firings were a correct decision from your (insane and skewed) perspective.

Without the facts of the matter, you're talking out of your h'arse.

Either firings are legal or not. They have nothing to do with office culture.

Insane and skewed? ... yes, yes you are. Well done for identifying it, it's just your aim is about 180 degrees wrong. I imagine you have that issue frequently in life.

Have a nice day :) (you absolute, unmitigated pr!ck, lol)

TLightful··on Small, cheap spy satellites mean there’s no hiding place
With respect. The small sat revolution is a load boll@cks.

Forgive me.

TLightful··on WallStreetBets members adopt 3,500 gorillas in six days
Allocate some of that to a Harambe memorial.

The rest to habitat nurturing and protection.

No ticket.

That's some decent patience you've got there.

I give websites 5 seconds, tops.

TLightful··on China’s $4k electric cars tap huge market Tesla can’t reach
Ok,that's fair.

But I don't accept the smart fortwo as a typical small car.

If those are its numbers, then its a horrible car, both in terms of mpg and everyday practical use. It looks good as a quick city run around and that's it.

In Europe, a typical small car might be a Toyotal Yaris or Peugeot 208, both hitting 70-90mpg

TLightful··on China’s $4k electric cars tap huge market Tesla can’t reach
Citation or that's bullsh!t.

If the car you ended up getting was large, as implied, I'd be interested in looking at how sh!te the small car must have been.

TLightful··on China’s $4k electric cars tap huge market Tesla can’t reach
But it is a dumb fascination when the logical conclusion is everyone riding around in tanks.
TLightful··on China’s $4k electric cars tap huge market Tesla can’t reach
There are some decent $5-$10k small EV's in China that will mop up customers who can't reach Tesla levels of affordability.

And with the advent of Hyundai Ioniq 5 and other cars coming on stream in the premium space, Tesla can suck a fat one.

TLightful··on 100Mbps uploads and downloads should be US broadband standard, senators say
Wow, is that a thing in the US?

Home of capitalism!

Sorry to hear that.

TLightful··on Google Issues Quality Warning for Millions of Google Photos Users
Tell your boss that Google jumped the shark 15 years ago. Get him/her to tell their boss, and so on.

Appreciate it.

TLightful··on Hyundai unveils Ioniq 5 electric car: Out-of-the-box EV
Awesome.
TLightful··on YouTube blocked chess channel after mistaken detection of racial slurs
Christ, I'm going to vent, so I'm sorry but, I'm so sick of this bullsh!t argument.

Eggshells?

If you're with someone you know or you don't know and you make a perceived or actual faux pas in their eyes.

Say ..... "sorry" .... "I didn't know that. Tell me more".

How hard is that?

I try to be pretty inclusive, but I'm nowhere near perfect and you know what, when I might have got it wrong this is what I do. And I'm not special for doing so. It's called interacting like a normal human being with another human being.

And you know what, it opens the space for understanding and debate and the chance to reject if you really believe it is wrong.

And as for you unfollowing podcasts because of mentions of priviedge and so forth ... well ... I wonder why that would be recently. Do you unfollow all topics which make you uncomfortable? Do you complain about cancel culture and then cancel podcasts you don't like?

I'm going to be harsh here because your post is very representative of many I see so maybe it needs to be said.

You feeling like you're being attacked everywhere you go is your problem, not those you think who are doing the attacking.

TLightful··on Nvidia announces mining GPUs, cuts the hash rate of RTX-3060 in half
And, again, my point is - it doesn't matter if it was a deliberate design choice or not.

Enviromental harm is the reality of bitcoin. And should be on the addressable agenda.

"trending rightwards" .... LOL!!! ...
TLightful··on Facebook reported fake numbers to advertisers
100%
TLightful··on Uber drivers are workers not self employed, Supreme Court rules
On the other hand, might as well rinse Uber while they're still trading.

To be clear, if Uber are unprofitable, that's a business model problem, not a worker problem.

TLightful··on Nvidia announces mining GPUs, cuts the hash rate of RTX-3060 in half
Does it matter?

The reality is the same.

TLightful··on Global debt soars to 356% of GDP
I'm willing to chip in a fiver.

Anyone else want to setup a gofundme for the global economy?

If you exist in the 20th century.

Say hi to Doc Brown for me, thanks.

TLightful··on Tesla skips 401(k) match for third straight year
Oh please, come on... it doesn't matter what he does with his wealth, just that he has accummulated such an incredible amount.

He could just as easily change his mind tomorrow about what he wishes to do with it tomorrow.

And that's not even touching on the argument about whether what he is using his wealth on is the best use of that wealth.

TLightful··on Man to pay £25,000 ($34,000) damages over negative TrustPilot review
Wow ... what a mess ... I guess they'll need to disband and reform under a different name. They're over.

Yes.
TLightful··on South Africa suspends rollout of Oxford-AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine
I'm confused, your point on: "Instituting racist policies to only help certain businesses [5]." ...

The link you provide says it was "fake". Maybe I've misunderstood.

Just want to add on that:
