Placing people in positions of power based on personal loyalty over competence. This is how dictators secure their power. It also usually completely cripples the country’s ability to function at every level but the dictators don’t care about that.

I’m so glad I kept my car and weathered through this shitty phase of car manufacturing.

If only there was hope for weathering through the data collection, subscription-based features and the death of sedans though…

He escaped! That’s what makes it spooky.

Considering that when people paid $100 for that OS they were told that it would be the “last Windows to be released”, shouldn’t there be a class action lawsuit?

They removed the star system a long time ago. They removed the down votes again a few years back.

They want their algorithm to be the only thing that decides whether you watch a video or not.

Knock a few pieces over and go find a warm spot to have a nap

When I want to cancel I want to cancel. I don’t want to be put in line for over half an hour and then have to have a painful argument with some poor employee who gets punished if I somehow figure out the secret code that makes them cancel the account. And then have to do it all over again one month later because the account didn’t cancel because of “technical problems”.

Daring class destroyer. For the two people on the whole internet who were wondering.

A lot do myself included. But not enough to matter. Most ordinary Windows users don’t even know what Linux is or understand why they should care.

Is there a technical term for when a company or corporation makes a statement that is a blatant bad faith argument like that?

If none exists, I’d call it “Corporate massturbation”. Because they’re trying to jerk everyone off.

Edit Here’s another one: “Corporate Anal Ostriching.” Because they’re shoving their heads up their own asses

That’s what happens when the vehicle commander forgets to make sure the barrel clears an obstacle the vehicle is about to drive past.

Make him live off of the salary for a month as well

It feels more like a community center than a home

My PC is getting old and I might replace it in about a year whenever I can get an OK GPU for a reasonable amount of money again.

I’ve built my own PCs since the late 90’s and this will be the first time I will not install Windows on a computer I built. Get fucked Microsoft.

In my experience those who put their political opinions on their car are morons anyway

“Why is it called UMU if it is a Universal Wine Utility? … Oooooh, nevermind.”

Everyone knows he’s guilty. His supporters just don’t care that he did it.

There were far simpler caseless mechanisms devised. But the G11 fired caseless ammo, rotated it 90 degrees and more importantly had a burst mode where the barrel and magazine recoiled together continually throughout the 3 round burst, only returning to battery after the 3rd round was fired. That latter one added a lot of complexity.

His hands aren’t even particularly small. But he’s an old, fat and decrepit man and he needs a very large and padded suit to give his body some sort of healthy appearance. His hands sticking out of that suit therefore look tiny.

Seriously, look at the pictures of him golfing in his XXXL polo shirt. The guy is shaped like one of the McNuggets

I fully agree that she should have absolutely refused to work under those conditions.

But in an environment where some producers might not understand the importance of leaving her to do her job undisturbed and will have the mentality of constantly pressuring people like her to compromise safety under the threat of firing then and “finding someone who will”, I believe that the blame is to be shared. Otherwise, these accidents will happen again.
