My quit stories are never this good.

Did have a team lead that kept blocking me from being promoted into a better team (more prestigious in terms of responsibilities despite actually being less stressful, better team lead that negotiates better raises for his subordinates, etc) by simply failing to hire a replacement for me. So eventually I quit and after a while started doing odd jobs for their clients on the side in addition to my day job. They charge about 200 USD an hour, I charge… Less. But way more than I would get paid by any local companies here in Estonia. And I get things done in 1/10 of the time in terms of turnaround time (not necessarily as huge a diff in hours billed).

Am I going to have to start adding typos to my text on purpose?

The implication here seems to be that the EU is shitty too, just less shitty. Which I kinda agree with, they try to push through nasty shit like chat control, link tax and whatever. But it’s nice to sometimes have human interest ahead of corporate ones still.

Other products have incremental upgrades

Teams gets excremental “upgrades”

Tauri isn’t actually a language in this instance, it’s a framework to create WebView based GUI applications with Rust

Oil dictatorships are superior because look at the football players Saudi Arabia is buying

Yeah the only really good thing about him was that he opposed Putin lol

Oh definitely true, I meant that even assuming they’re staying with cars, the cars would be lighter on the oil reserves than ICE.

But as I read, they’re also using plenty of EVs that are not ecars. Which is even better.

It was sight hyperbole yes, I’m just slightly farther away at 8700 km so it’s a bit more expensive for me lol

Isn’t it? You’re shorting the battery terminals by connecting them directly, it’s just a shitty wire lol

If I read it correctly, it was analog and they found that only the signal amplitude was meaningfully changed, not the quality

I in fact have not, I don’t live right next to it like you do :)

Well there’s less also less pressure on the oil reserves when there’s fewer cars using them

Let’s not forget that Cubans would generally drive 1950s American cars from before the blockade, as well as soviet cars from… Doesn’t matter when, they were never particularly efficient either lmao

An EV might use 5x less fuel than a 1950’s Chevy even if charged wholly by an oil-based power plant. They’re also building up solar capacity.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration has declared Cuba “an unusual and extraordinary threat” to U.S. national security.

Why? Is he afraid Americans will revolt when they hear about Cuba’s superior healthcare system and longer life expectancy that they’ve managed to attain in the face of blockades?

Even if it is, centralized power stations and the transmission losses for charging EVs are in total more efficient than small internal combustion engines.

There’s places in the world where your suburban cul-de-sac can actually be located in a walkable city and the grocery store is very close despite living in a suburb where most people have cars.

Even suburbs can be a lot better than they are in the US.

I’ve never lived in a huge city, but where I live (Estonia), city planning is much better than much of North America so usually you wouldn’t live too far from a grocery store, walking is usually an option, otherwise there’s public transit. There’s literally nothing weird about bringing your grocery bags on a bus or train or whatever.

If you don’t have a car, you just shop for one or two days at a time usually. This way you can actually get fresher ingredients sometimes and you don’t have to plan an entire week ahead at once. In fact, I’m lazy and just shop for one or two days at a time despite having a car and sometimes using it to go to the grocery store. I just don’t know what I’ll want to eat 2 days from now!

Vastlakuklid here in Estonia. Over here it’s either just whipped cream inside (boring) or more commonly whipped cream and jam (usually lingonberry) or sometimes they may have marzipan too

Well first off, whether or not an internal combustion engine is called a motor or an engine differs by region for English-speakers and in fact in my language there’s only “mootor”, for both electric and combustion engines.

Secondly, the engine on an enginecycle could also be a two-cycle engine, that’s common in small engined dirtbikes and moped particularly.

Thirdly, this may depend on your local legislation, but where I live, a low-power e-bike would be a moped and a high-power e-bike would be a motorcycle. In terms of the license requirements anyway. If it’s limited to 25 km/h and requires pedaling, then it’s an assisted bicycle and requires no license and no helmet (provided you’re over 16).

I’m not American and don’t hablo español, I still watched it 2 or 3 times lol, just such a great show
