They measure up to 4.0 metres (13 ft 1 in) long, weigh as much as 590 kilograms (1,300 lb)

Huh. Nope.

But then how will congress give taxpayer dollars to a private company to do a terrible job?

I mean, we COULD have a government run agency that retains skilled engineers and keeps a good talent and knowledge pool of people specialized at delivering services that hundreds of millions of people rely on OR we could give money to the lowest bidder and blame “government inefficiency” for the contractor’s fuckups.

Exactly. It’s not “Leftist”, it’s just NOT fully of Nazis, and that’s how far our standards have slipped.

For a basement with a 5-inch slab and exterior walls are 8 inches, 8ft high and also concrete… Then 45 cubic meters is about what you’d need.

Of course, your basement walls are about as electrically grounded as it gets, so I doubt you’d be able to store power in them. One leak and you’re discharging all that power into the groundwater.

My first thought was this was a punk thing, like, if you want to think of yourself as a bit rebellious you can buy the American phone instead of the phone made by the company that owns your nation.

The people seeing furry porn are based in Lemmy.world or Lemmy.nsfw

Your instance, lemmy.ee, doesn’t subscribe you to porn by default.

Depends on your Instance looks like the defaults on lemmy.zip don’t include much porn, so if you want it you gotta add it. My home instance is also pretty SFW as well.

I absolutely adore my Subaru CVT. The only things I dislike about it are how it has a bunch of fake crap to act more like a manual transmission.

I want my car to always be at peak power band when I stomp the pedal, CVT can do that and other transmissions can’t.

That and market share. Between 2007 and now, a website could reliably grow as new people got connected to the internet and as internet usage naturally grew. Up till recently, a large proportion of people either didn’t use the internet at all, or had the internet, but didn’t use much. Prior to 2020 I knew lots of friends and family who simply did not own a home computer or maybe had like one laptop for the whole family (and a bunch of phones).

During that era, the attention was all on getting new users in the door. Make a good, cheap/free product, and people will come.

But NOW, most people already are using the internet like 14+ hours a day and have become full netizens. If companies want to keep growing, they can’t rely on new blood, they need to pivot to harvesting more from the people they already have.

New reddit crops images that it displays, so you typically had to click on images anyways, though

Worse than that, Reddit banned all the NSFW subs from /all but DIDN’T ban the NSFL sub. So now instead of and unfiltered /all, with a mix of all the best everything, it’s now a curated collection of no porn and the occasional gore.
