Vin as in Mistborn, not Vin Diesel hahaha She is a 10 week old rescue. Possibly friendliest, most energetic kitten we have had. She jumps around like exploding popcorn and always wants to be in company

Is it even mathematically possible?

Honestly, it makes sense. Ricciardo has only been declining since leaving Renault.

He got a really good chance to get back on the horse when he was given the RB seat which he had not earned on recent performance (arguably, he earned it on past performance from years ago)

However, it was noticeable quickly he wasn't better than Yuki or even some of the back markers.

I think Baku put the nail in his coffin when 2 rookies on lesser cars outperformed him handily. Today, he didn't even make it out of Q1 in Singapore with Yuki qualifying 8th

So Canadian police are getting killed and we learn about this in a "trust me bro" statement with no backing?

I wonder if eating cats make people hate the police more?!?

Same here... we get one day in the office, I have tried to make the best of it but nobody cares, I find myself there with less than half the team to:

  • hop around until I get a desk where everything I need works

  • get interrupted by people not on my team all the time because why not say hi

  • get complaints because all my meetings are Teams anyway and everyone is mad they hear a crowd when I am not muted

  • Lose 45 mins of my life getting ready and another 1.5 in traffic (round trip) to work less in the office

I believe everything you claim but my question remains... how does American companies, whose entire (or practically entire) production is manufactured in China, avoid those pitfalls?

Most American companies are not known for reinforcing and over engineering their products, the same cheapening out in materials and corner cutting strategies are applied in North America all the time.

I still think it’s overly cynical

Definitely could be... I know this of myself and I have been working on it

I can tell you it wouldn't... We usually do not have multiple words because they are completely and 100% interchangeable.

It is the exact same message manipulation when a cop outright murders someone the headline often says something super tangential like "Perp lost life in altercation with police"... words matter and you'd expect journalist to know this

Gotta love how the articles frames it. While at work people "kill time" with tik tok but at home they "goof off" folding laundry

Developers are usually not bad at naming. Marketing on the other hand...

The FTC uncovered a series of texts between Pioneer Natural Resources CEO Scott Sheffield and OPEC officials agreeing to limit oil production to raise prices.

They raked in huge profits, while their scheme cost consumers $200 billion a year in higher prices.

That’s about $3000 a year per family.
