Ok but then you’ll pay taxes on that sale so there’s no problem.

Buying a Fisker has always been gamble, so is buying anything from any startup honestly… Buying a Tesla Roadster was a gamble as well!

The middlemen you’re talking about are established brands. I have no problem buying an Indian made motorcycle from KTM because I know they have a real presence in North America, a dealership network and so on, they have something to back themselves with, but I wouldn’t buy a motorcycle built in India by a brand that has no presence outside of India and that, for all I know, could just fold tomorrow leaving me with the problem of having to find parts when needed… (just using an examine with another country)

They supply most of our electronics, tools and so on, but you’ll notice that you’re not buying the Chinese brands of these things, or if you are you’re not expecting to be able to get any after sale service in 5 years…

That’s established and stable brands that manufacture things in China which is completely different from Chinese brands building things in China and that can just close their doors tomorrow morning and leave the owners without any source for parts.

If an established manufacturer closes their doors tomorrow morning the same issue arises, the difference is that Chinese companies are known to do that and the Chinese government sometimes is responsible for closing them or simply doesn’t care about the effect on customers. They can reopen the following day and produce the same items as before but they won’t send you parts for the thing they were producing the day prior because it’s not the same company anymore.

And unibody

Unibody

Free will and vasectomies will become less common!

No one outside of tech communities does that

“couple of years younger” or older than Biden was in 2020 when Republicans called him too old…

Only one of the three is body on frame and it’s Ford’s

Because it’s standard practice in China to just close a company and restart it under a new name. The government can decide to shut down everything overnight.

Look at parts availability for stuff sold by Chinese brands.

American manufacturers need to provide parts for 10 years after the last of the same model car rolled off the assembly line. Good luck forcing Chinese brands to respect that.

We always lose when engaging with these people

About 25% for beef vs 20% for chicken, give or take

They still build the only real EV truck though

Lulz, words

Nah man, I’m applying the same logic you are, you support a racist State that represents millions of racist people, go fuck yourself.

If hating the State of Israel makes you racist it means that you think Israel represents all Jews, if Israel represents all Jews then all Jews are racists because Israel hates most of its neighbor States and, as you said, hating a State is racist. You love Israel and you love Jews therefore you love racists therefore you can go fuck yourself.

I haven’t had to do anything with sin, cos or tan in over 20 years and even back then it’s a miracle I managed to pass my advanced math course considering I never understood what they were because it was so badly explained to us…

The definition has been heavily criticised by academics, including legal scholars, who say that it stifles free speech relating to criticism of Israeli actions and policies. High-profile controversies took place in the United Kingdom in 2011 within the University and College Union,[note 1] and within the Labour Party in 2018. The definition has been contested for weaknesses that critics say lend themselves to abuse,[10][11][note 2] for obstructing campaigning for the rights of Palestinians, and for being too vague. Kenneth S. Stern, who contributed to the original draft, has opposed the weaponization of the definition on college campuses in ways that might suppress and limit free speech.[13][14] The controversy over the definition led to the creation of the Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism and the Nexus Document, both of which expressly draw distinctions between antisemitism and criticism of Israel.[8]

Will you look at that, it’s criticized for not making a distinction between antisemitism and criticism of Israel, you know, because criticizing a country doesn’t mean hating its citizen or people ethnically related to them.

A regular bath is 150L of water, you need enough water to fill 100 baths to produce 1kg of beef

Chicken is at just over a quarter in water needs while tofu is at a sixth of beef in water needs. 1650 calories for chicken, 830 calories for tofu, so chicken has the best water/calories ratio…
