And they won't stop until it's 100%. You Trumpers won. All I can say is I hope you have the day you voted for.

My one consolation is that Trump is taking away your Medicare.

EVs have massively less brake wear because most braking is regen, not friction.

Then there is the whole cooling system too. Radiator, fluids, pump. Fuel pump and filter too.

It's not just the cost either, it's the hassle and time wasted getting it done. You can include diversions to get fuel too, since you can't make it at home.

Have you actually been to Europe with an EV? France, for example, is great. Loads of chargers, no effort. There is a guy on YouTube who does regular trips from the UK to Italy in a budget used EV and has no issues, if you want to see forn yourself.

Sorry but your country is apparently shit tier when it comes to infrastructure.

What exactly is the scam besides a little bit of engagement bait?

More importantly everything in the post is stuff that gig slop companies have been caught doing on multiple occasions.

That's why it's not surprising if it was AI generated because the AI is going to take a little bit of everything that it finds on the internet from otherwise reliable sources and mix it into a slurry. So what you're seeing here is a bunch of associate press articles turned into a post. The articles would have been about other gig slop companies and what they got caught doing but the AI would have just mixed them all together.

Needs to be bottified: "And your father is powered by rotting elderberries!"

Why. Is. It. that web browsers seem to be built with the express and sole purpose of being as annoying as possible?

Nothing is truly "free". It ends up being a tool to sell you shit, track you to sell you shit later, and display as many ads as possible.

I get where you are coming from regarding screwy and ever-shifting browser UI's. I'd like to see a browser library that allows one to use the common programming languages to implement the general UI environment. The dev can program all the browser buttons, menus and panel layouts, but let library calls do the actual web-page rendering for the sub-panels. There'd be several demonstration configurations (layouts) to select and customize.

I'd like to see a kind of modernized version of Visual Basic classic. One could whip out a general layout in no-time with barely any code. However, it's probably not for the persnickety. Finding a happy medium is tricky, as being both newbie friendly and guru-friendly is tough as nails.

Mozilla tried to do something like this with XUL, but it sucked.

"Slop" is the in way to say it.

that happens to attach OS's, browsers, and biz-ware to it. Reminds me of the old joke: "Emacs is a decent OS, but lacks a good editor."

Donald Trump is happy to screw any industry over xenophobia except real-estate, oil, and makers of gold doilies.

But perhaps people take out loan sizes based on what they expect to earn in their field. For example, an engineering masters degree is expected to result in a relatively high salary, so one may request a big loan.

We need to STOP loans, scholarships and grants for any field that has no realistic promise of having the student make enough...

There are already common work-sheets to compute recommended loan level based on wage and employment statistics in various fields. If somebody is foolish enough to ignore such warnings, then the problem is on them. I don't believe low-wage degree earners are necessarily more egotistical or greedy than high ones, barring solid evidence.

Because if it's one thing the United Kingdom has a shortage of it's workers looking for good-paying jobs. Clearly we need more automation.

To do a lot more than just simple documents. They want full-on applications with lots of features. Remember the 80/20 rule. 80% of your users only use 20% of your features but it's a different 20% for every user.

So yeah capitalism does fuck things up here. Also capitalism isn't allowed to function anymore. There is no competition to speak of because there's no antitrust law enforcement.

But in addition to that a modern web browser is basically an operating system in itself. There is literally no application you couldn't write for a web browser as a platform.

So they suck for the same reason that operating systems suck. It's a complex system with shitloads of features and a diverse user base.

If we had proper competition that was regulated by a proper government than there would be a lot less shit because well, capitalism would be able to do its job and deliver an improved product. But that ship sailed 25 years ago when we elected George Bush Jr and he shut down the Microsoft antitrust investigation...

Of every single institution designed to protect you.

Every single thing had to go wrong for Trump to get a second term.

That said voter suppression is the primary reason Trump won his second term. Approximately 7 million Americans tried to vote and couldn't. A combination of illegal challenges to signatures and voter registrations and multi-hour wait times to vote in swing States is what made Trump president.

So mind you yes, as fucked up as it is if the Democrats had run a youngish white man Trump probably would have lost because Trump needed everything to go wrong to get his second term.

But that's small potatoes compared to the millions of people denied the right to vote. There's an old saying among the left in america, there are no red States just States where people aren't allowed to vote.
