Fucking lol. 6 weeks ago the brand team just changed all the brand colors again. They went from purple back to black.

Somewhere in NY there is a sign company making a shitload of money swapping signs off the HBO building every few weeks.

So is this going to be like the other green card holders - someone that publicly criticized the government and then got snatched by the brownshirts?

Fake money, fake death, real douche.

“America’s reigning Hide & Seek champion retires”

Is blackface cool if you’re dressed like a black cat? 🤔

The hostility with England has a big role in “American” sticking. It used to be a general term for any European colonist coming over to the Americas, but when British colonists started getting more and more pissed at the homeland, they started embracing that general term more and more.

This stuff always looks a little weird in a vacuum, but if you playback the tape and get familiar with the history, it makes a lot more sense.

No prob

It makes a lot more sense if you look back at what the colonies were called when the name was adopted. It’s really just a holdover from a naming solution that wasn’t very weird during the time that it was introduced. Language evolves in weird and funky ways.

It’s one of those things that made sense at the time, but looks a little weird if you don’t account for the history.

Folks living in the British colonies wanted to differentiate themselves from the English, so they called themselves “Americans” because they were in the “American colonies.”

The name stuck after the colonies became the United States.

Looking at the downvotes, remember upvoting an article ≠ an endorsement of the shitty technology being discussed in the article.

We shit on the technology in the comments, and upvote it so more of us can read about it and shit on it.

Trump is clearly still butt hurt about offshore windmills on the horizon line of his Scottish golf course. This guy is so petty.

Don’t ask me. I didn’t write it. Wasn’t me.

I think most of the “requirements” they’re referring to are the technical ones, not governmental.

North America’s residential HVAC landscape is pretty simply and dumb compared to a lot of what is happening in Europe. Dumb forced central air systems dominate residential HVAC.

It sounds like they don’t like developing for all the weird hardware configurations that appear in Europe.

Aside from being backed by Bezos, this seems like Lemmy the car. Under 20K, an EV, no stupid touch screen, designed to be repaired and modded, and even crank windows.

I bet the catch, aside from Bezos, is the range or charge speed.

Honestly, Intel has been up shit creek for a while now. No one big wants to use Intel’s fabs because they’re afraid that Intel’s design team will copy their homework.

Vertical integration has fucked Intel. TSMC’s fabs get all the important contracts from Nvidia, Apple, etc. And the massive client volume allows them to accelerate the evolution of their fab tech.

Intel needs to break their chip design business and fab into two separate businesses, otherwise it’s a continuation of the death march.

They do. That said, now that it’s really easy to mask whois data, I would argue that’s a less than perfect solution.

Someone doing research on China is a chiologist.

Same as someone doing research on biology is a biologist.

It’s not available to the public

Question is, do I downvote the crappy product because I hate it, or do I upvote it so other people can learn about it and hate it with me?

We tried to warn you
