All car manufacturers world wide are subsidized.

Of course China can make cheaper cars, because most car manufacturers get their parts produced in China anyway.

It really depends on the reference. 0 today is not the same as 0 was when I grew up. By the standards then, it was probably a 4, but by today’s standards it would be in the negatives, -2or so.

With a wide brush you can paint the picture like this: The Republicans were left wing communists (or at least they wanted a democratic republic) and the Nationalists were right wing fascists.

Nationalists won and they had a dictator (Franco) in Spain from 1939 to 1975.

That’s no moon.

This is dementia ramblings.

They could have asked him about cheese and I bet he would’ve talked about doing a tremendous job at making cheese grate again.

With enginuity like this it should be possible to make a water trap to keep the smell contained.

You mean lunch break?

“Allowed until someone is sued for doing it and insurance can’t keep paying out” more likely.

A dog without leash shows that the owner hasn’t bothered taking dog training classes or in the case of my country that they haven’t bothered learning the law. If they can’t be bothered to do that, I worry that they are not responsible enough to take care of the dog, and they shouldn’t be allowed to own a dog. Dog ownership ought to require a license or mandatory training.

The person using the perfume might also not even know about the issue, but in that case, I don’t think it makes sense to blame the consumer. There are simply too many types of products that are potentially dangerous when used wrong. Perhaps the seller ought to have warned about it, but I doubt that would make much difference. You can still be upset about it being produced. Lots of things are like that.

Sometimes you can blame the consumer and sometimes you can’t.

The caps was a problem yes. Not just littering, but also in sorting for recycling, where they’d often end up in the wrong place.

It obviously depends on where and how it’s done, but the thing I’ve heard is that due to (the lack of) weight and size the bottle caps would end up in the paper badges, which would ruin the paper from being recycled. It’s better if it follows the bottle. PET bottles (including caps) are shredded, washed and used for new bottles.

Same thing happened to the pull tabs on aluminium cans. Those used to be separate too.

It’s not fucking overkill. There’s no such thing.

I’m really disappointed with the video. That dude usually knows his shit, but he’s way off the mark here. It’s just plain wrong.

Getting a smaller charger might save a few hundred, but it will also increase your chances of burning the house down. Good fucking advise, huh.

Fuck that. You’ll always want to charge as fast as your main circuit breaker will allow.
