As I wash out the plastic yougurt pots, that’s what gets me the most. We’re fucked and it’s not Mrs Smith at number 47 using plastic straws that’s causing this

Brave to assume it would make that distance drive, better hope there’s no slight incline as that would invalidate the warranty

So somewhere inbetween as the article says “more than 10,000 units” and “$800m” so they appear to be valuing them at ~$80k/unit which is ridiculously optimistic.

My guess is closer to 1/3rd of that value but nobody likes to lose half a billion in the blink of an eye

I’d say I’ll be boycotting any advertisers but in reality most are american and are already on the list anyway

I had assumed this was referring to the case years back of Elon Musk calling a British guy that was trying to help rescue some children from a submerged cave in the Philippines a “pedo”.

He was naturally sued about it but somehow avoided rightful punishment by claiming that he didn’t mean literally and it was a phrase used all the time in South Africa.

Twat waffle is a phrase we use all the time in my country. We use it whenever Elon is mentioned.

I too choose his/her retirement plan!

HomeExchange looks good and is European.

It naturally lacks the depth of listings that Airbnb does but will grow if people use them

If they really want to boil our piss, put “English (American)” as the only option. Or or, a little American flag next to “English”. Oo, I’m engaging myself right now.

Believe it ormnot: stock goes up

Haha, that would be fantastic. Or until Vance says sorry for disrespecting Zelenskyy just for the shit n giggles

He’d not get it out of Trump but 100% you could cause division by Trump insisting that Vance has to do it :)

Loving the clarity of China’s position on this

It’s old English meaning kind of “uplands near a watery place”. Its an actual place near where I live, about 5 miles south of Newbury, Berkshire, England.

Andrew Lloyd Webber lives just to the North of it and De Haviland did his maiden flight to the West of it just on the other side of the A34 road.

The author lived there as a child, interestingly so did the author of Paddington Bear

I’m not sure, I think they were worthless (like, beyond respect from your peers which is naturally bs).

I think they also introduced awards which I know cost real money to buy but intriguingly were valueless to the receipient

Going cold turkey. Bizarrely I like lemmy more as there’s less content so I don’t scroll as much.

I nuke my accounts pretty regularly for data security so didnt really have any value in my account (none of this “I had 1500 karma coins” or whatever)

Yup, that’s the way it’s going. There won’t be enough take up so they’ll start putting features ("oh, you want golf, that’ll be the $3.99/month golf subscription) and data like personal bests behind the paywall

Ah thanks, and apologies as I could have just ecosia’ed that ;)

I recall an app called endomondo doing similar. I’d bought the Pro version for lifetime only to find them move to a Premium option.

That was fine as I still had what I had paid for… until take up wasn’t good enough and slowly key features moved behind the paywall.

Im fairly certain this is the direction this is going. I wonder if there’ll be a class action if so to force buy back of the hardware

This was in my mind but I don’t spend money easily so intend to replace it when it breaks.

I’ll need to reassess if the US invades

Sorry, what does that achieve please?

Oh, and the basic - don’t carry your cell phone/smart watch regardless of whether it’s switched off
