Yes, but they are all up-side down.

Yes, price is the point. Of course, a Mercedes is going to nicer than a Toyota, but is it worth its price tag?

I miss the times when bodies found off the Sicilian coast meant Mafia.

The decomposed bodies were discovered near the island of Sicily, which lies off the southwestern tip of the Italian mainland.

The bodies were taken to another Italian island, Lampedusa, about 350 kilometers (217 miles) away.

The bodies are believed to have been on board a boat that sunk earlier this week in Libyan waters, Italian media said, citing officials.

So, even if they are dead we push them back to Lampedusa. And claim that they sunk in Syrian waters. Because nothing bad can happen in Europe.

I don’t think the German car industry has ever competed solely on price. Outside Germany and some European countries, German brands are luxury items. In Germany, they oscillate between bread-and-butter and above-average.

The problem is value-for-money and market fit. German car makers (used to) have the best margins in the most expensive products, luxury items sold outside of Germany. Those cars aren’t built to last (like a Japanese car) nor are they fancy (like the first Tesla model).

German ICE cars are (and have always been) less reliable than Japenese cars. And more expensive. And come with very basic interior design / electronics unless you go for the luxury option.

AND NO EVs.

Who buys German cars? Show me one person who wants a VW.

MBFS fact checks itself and surprisingly likes itself.

Not sure about Russian units, but in the west, the acceleration towards earth aka gravity aka what happens when you stand to close to a window while not cheering for Putin is 9.81m/s^2.

Not sure what 9.8 square metres is…

The bot says you can block them.

My mind: What kind of strike or labour protest causes bystanders to loose a limb. What’s wrong with Isreali strikes?

Of fuck, that kind of strike.

Sounds like fun.
