Sure they probably will. At least that is what they show on tv while flashing their logo. But it is a different story when you actually arrive at their location or order online. Companies use all kinds of dark patterns and strategies to get you to buy more or get the high margin items, that are usually their junkier stuff.

Where I am from it is not allowed to run ads with alcohol. What the companies do instead is create a non-alcoholic version of very similar branding and then run ads for that instead..

To be fair. His farming ventures have moved his opinion on climate in a positive direction. People can change their mind and that is a good thing. I would even go as far as calling it a very good sign that even a person as stubborn as the great ape Clarkson can change their opinion on this matter is absolutely fantastic. Good on Clarkson! And fuck the other guy for shoving up the past in his face when he is trying to be better.

Are you guys ok over there? I know there is a political division in your country. But this is some kind of braveheart speech before starting an actual civil war. It can't be that bad, you are the richest country in the history of this planet what kind of reality is these idiots living in?

I can recommend running it on new hardware. I love that it runs great on old hardware, but it is a bit of a disservice to Linux distros that people always experience it on raspberry pies and other old laptops or otherwise relatively slow hardware.

Linux on a brand new hardware is insanely good.

Edit: software => hardware

I think you know exactly why they hired her 🍑

But how is it feasable to smoke 80 cigarettes per day! A cigarette takes like 10 minutes to smoke if you don't huff like a dragon. 80 cig x10 min = 800 min = ~13 hour smoking per day. You would not be able to keep any kind of job with a smoking schedule like that.. Except maybe onlyfans..

I assume you mean the clear plastic around the pods that gets sticky when you touch it with wet hands. Relevant YouTube short with Hank Green https://youtube.com/shorts/mm997MpLNeA?si=ZdBiX7ZTjbpLQMLS TLDW: you don't have to worry about this kind of plastic it is water soluble and turns into water and carbon dioxide when burned I believe.

Yes I am worried about microplastics in everyday things, for example drinking water from my tap. I am also worried about using plastics for anything food related that is heated up. As such i have removed all plastic containers in our kitchen that would be used near or with heat. Any containers remaining is only for cold foods and dry storage.

It's funny how my mind tells me her proportions look completely cartoonish and ridiculous. But my penis tells me it's the best thing ever.

Btw for other people following their penises advice: Leicht Perlig

You do understand how large of a number a billion is? To work only for a decade and have that kind of networth is insane.

I am also convinced that diamonds are a scam. If you like the stone and think it is worth it, by all means, go ahead and buy it. I fucking love shiny things too. But really? Have you seen the price for a tiny 1 karat stone on a ring? That is ridiculous, there is no way in hell those stones are rare enough or warrant that kind of price, and even if the cutting process was the reason for the price ( as if it is not completely fucking automated by now). Fuck the diamond industry.

Tesla's mission statement is "to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy." This will always be unreachable if they can't even begin to consider work and social sustainability. Workers are a part of making sustainable energy. Don't bring the worst parts of American work culture to Sweden, if it does not fit with you mission, please leave, Sweden will survive without another car brand.

It is a bit unfair that only drug addicts get this. Assisted suicide should be available for the general population.
