Modern freighters can go through a force 12. Good luck doing that in a sailing ship from any era.

Sails and storms dont mix. Innumerable sailing ships had their sails ripped, masts snapped or went to the bottom because of it. Hardly surprising that when a technology that didnt involve having a couple of 50-100 foot high poles with large fabric attached to them that could work in all weathers came along it quickly took over. I mean FFS, this ship had only just left harbour and one of its modern rigid sails got damaged!

Have you seen the shitfest that is their current browser. Ergonomics went out the window years ago so they have form in shooting themselves - and their users, what's left of them -in the foot.

More likely the shrapnel went backwards into the tail engine.

> but how much does it really happen?

A lot. Like, a LOT a lot.

You are discussing - ranting about, really - what should be.

The rest of us are discussing what is.

The original claim is that people aren't buying the F-150 Lightning because (paraphrasing) people want mid-size trucks and not fill-size trucks. That claim is refuted by pointing out that mid-size trucks already exist, they do not sell very well, and in fact full-size trucks are overwhelmingly popular.

Now you come in with your righteous indignation that because, in your view, people don't actually make full use of full-size trucks, they should not be buying full-size trucks. Notwithstanding that the majority of these trucks actually ARE used as trucks - because the cultural bubble that exists entirely up your ass along with your head is not representative of the entire world - the very real popularity of these vehicles is not dependent on what people actually do with them.

I'll say it again just to be crystal clear: It does not matter if you think they should not be popular, the fact is they are popular. Reality does not give a shit what your opinion is.

Apparently you cant even understand simple english either. Go play with your lego sonny.

Apparently you're too stupid to realise that most countries have laws that allow governments to restrict what companies do in the national interest without nationalising them. eg selling to certain regimes. But then you posted A/C so no one will know quite what a moron you are.

You might want to come out of your basement sometime. Trump has not been getting his own way with the EU (I presume you've heard of the EU?).

Who's this "you"? I'm not american, HTH, plus Nexperia was sold to the chinese in 2018. Also since when did Trump decide the policies of the Netherlands government?

I never thought someone who read /. would be so utterly naive about hacking IoT devices.

"It's not just laziness."

Noooo, not at all, nooo...

"crank up the heating without getting out of bed"

Nuff said.

"warn you when you need to ventilate your house"

If it stinks, open the window. That thing on the front of your face , called a nose, try using it.

Western governments are slowly waking up to their utter fuckwittery in allowing companies in critical industries to be sold to china just so the C-suite and shareholders could enjoy a fat windfall. People have been shouting about this sort of thing for at least a decade but it was fingers in ears time from naive politicians. As this proves - its too late now.

Whether or not people use the vehicles for their supposed purpose or to the full capabilities is completely irrelevant to the sales numbers.

I'm sorry that the world does not conform to what you imagine it should be. The reality is full size pickup trucks are the best selling vehicle type in the US by a wide margin. Feel free to masturbate your is-ought sophistry until you go blind though...

That's probably because the "Typical millionaire in the US" is likely a farmer or rancher.
