As someone who lives in a country where every single vehicle on the road here is imported, I have no problems with BYD being subsidised if the price I pay is lower.

Well, firstly I had a “follow only” feed when I quit Twitter in 2022 - I just want that for Reddit.

There were short periods when Twitter tried to make the algorithmic feed the default, but they always switched back to your personal feed being the default after outcry. So Musk hasnt fixed anything there, it was always there.

Secondly, no, I wont be using Twitter ever again. Or whatever its called these days.

Their current feed on mobile is a mix of stuff you follow and stuff they think you are interested in based on posts you interact with.

Which basically means that you are shit scared to interact with anything that isnt from a group you have already joined, because once you do, your feed is filled with posts from subs that are minutely related to the topic you clicked on.

For example, if I click on a post which contains an interesting local event story without checking what sub its from, and its from a local town or county sub from the US I soend the next week tellingReddit I really dont want posts from every fucking state, county, town or village specific sub in the US.

Or I click on a story about an interesting car event without realising the story was posted in a car specific sub, for the next week Im getting rid of every car related sub in my feed.

Right now Im doing this for UK home improvement and DIY subs, because I dared look at a specific story. Im getting recommended shit like home made pizza oven subs

My biggest method of interaction with Reddit by far, is telling Reddit what I dont want. And one single accidental click can result in hours or days of shitty mildly related content being forced on you.

All I want is Twitters feed from before 2022 - the one which just shows posts from people or groups you follow, and thats it. Why cant I have that?

Ive not yet played NMS, but exploration games are a thing that attracts a certain demographic.

For example, I hate the mission aspect of games like Fallout, GTA etc, but love just exploring the worlds - seeing what is over the next horizon etc. I havent played a multiplayer computer game in more than 15 years at this point,

So why isnt it mandated for homes and all devices that receive radio currently?

Why is my car the only thing that *has* to receive AM?

This is another bullshit “I have a hobby horse and Im going to fucking ride it at everyone elses expense” political move.

Which doesnt “fix” the underlying issue - the browser is leaking data about you against your knowledge and permission.

That sounds like a flaw in the browser. That should probably be fixed.

You can piggy back on the civilian infrastructure without ever exposing devices - just require all devices to access anything beyond the local network via a specific router, which pushes all traffic over a VPN, and nothing goes out over the naked internet as its all dropped if its not going over the VPN. Then all you need to ensure are thoroughly audted and hardened are those routers - everything else cant hit the internet.

Im intimately familiar with range-payload charts.

You have to take my sentence as a whole - I say that its both low density and premium heavy. The low density is because of the range-payload drop off, the premium heavy is because Qantas will make more money with the premium cabin, so thats where the bulk of the weight allowance goes.

The airlines reputation isnt going anywhere, DVT is a known risk on a lot of long haul currently in operation, yet you dont hear anything about airlines getting negative PR about it. This route will be no different. Its a bit longer, but not massively.

Qantas already have it set at around 40% premium seating, with around 140 economy or economy plus seating at 33 inch pitch, and 98 premium seats (first, business and premium economy).

Its a low density, premium heavy cabin precisely because thats what the route demands - they have structured it around what premium seating they can fill, and what economy they might fill. Its no secret that airlines make almost all of their passenger profit from premium seats, and economy is often just about break even, so theres no point in cramming more economy in for this route.

Yes, its a stunt - but it also shows off the capabilities of the aircraft perfectly.

Boeing dis something wimilar years ago with the 777.

Then the health issues are on the passenger in that case, the airline provided facilities to use but the passenger chose to not use it. But the facilities were provided, thats the important thing.

Its a route proving flight, part of the A350-1000ULRs certification - and Toulouse is Airbuses biggest base of operations, where the A350 production line is based.

The aircraft was going there to be painted and handed over to Qantas after certification is granted.

When it goes into airline service, Qantas will be flying it from Melbourne and Sydney to London Heathrow.

The final cabin layout when this route starts in customer service will be significantly premium heavy with less economy than normal, and has standing exercise areas for all cabins, so you are encouraged to get up and stretch your legs.

US centric, so this wont be coming to the rest of the worlds Youtube subscribers

I bought a Ford F-150 XLT (the full-hybrid pickup) and was very disappointed to find that several of the features (Including Blue Cruise and navigation) were subscription-based with an initial free period of a year or so.

Other than that the vehicle is fantastic - but was very pricey when I bought it, so having to pay over and over for the features was a very annoying surprise. (They quit working rather than quit updating when the subscriptions run out.)
