During the peak of the great purge, it was quickly becoming pointless. A lot of results were bringing up deleted posts. It took a while for search engines to catch up and start filtering a lot of those results out.

In regards to the editing part, sure, I'm sure they can track your edit history. However, on a large scale, most edits are going to be to correct things. To determine if an edit was to poison the text, it would likely require manual review and flagging. There's no way they're going to sift through all of the edits on individual accounts to determine this, so it's still worthwhile to do.

Review your contract. If you aren't month-to-month, tell them to pound sand.

You'd be surprised. We only do that on the ground, though.

Modern ones are solid state and the owner can choose how long they want to record for. Most ETOPS aircraft will record for much longer than 2 hours. I believe my airline records for 25 hours, even though our aircraft are not based in Europe.

I refuse. 18-20% is for outstanding service, not normal service. Personally, I would rather see tipping go away

We want German tight (gutentight), not Russian tight (brokenov)!

Yes, but I think it's server dependent. Lemm.ee and lemmy.world have been fine.

Just doing a quick search shows it's marketed as a commercial truck. Second image on the Ford website shows it with a dumper bed. Further down, it's an electrical utility truck with a cherry picker. Those are pretty reasonable applications, since it can come with a PTO.

I'd believe it. Larger trucks usually come with a PTO as an option for things like that.

You use it to pull a large 5th-wheel trailer. You don't haul with the bed, if you even have a bed installed.

The F650 is pretty much the last thing you buy before you need a proper semi/tractor truck. I have seen a few, and known someone with one; and they routinely use it for cash hauls to make a living. Paying LTL (less than truck load) rates are very expensive and slow compared to hiring a contractor to haul something you need in a timely manner. The guy I knew that owned one used it to make a living hauling farm and construction equipment long distances.

Most F650's that are produced will not have a bed, because they either get fitted with a flatbed or a cargo box.
