Who makes the most reliable new cars? 3 years ago
Still running a 2005 Toyota right here ... I wanted to get rid of it a few years ago, but it's turning into a classic before my very eyes (in my heart anyway).
Has never let me down ... even once ... * knock on wood *
Also enjoying maintaining a 69 Beetle... no Wifi, no tracking, hardly any electronics at all ... LOVE IT.
And though I love driving, I don't drive that often, so my emissions are low.
Sorry, you can keep your new cars.

Excellent site ... except for the UI nit of not being able to judge how long the article is ... on my browser, at least.
Saved for later as I had no idea how long it will take to read it ...
You mean, like how we interact with ChatGPT? ;-)
What are the absolute numbers?
The percentages don't appear comparable here. They also don't allow for future multiplier effects from the spending.
No agenda, just holding that sentence up to a little scrutiny.
BBC gives up on Threads, sticks with Mastodon 3 years ago
This sounds all true, but on Twitter - I never had the issue before so it seems more than a coincedence.
In fact, I used to be very surprised to read that Twitter had been previously widely used for porn adverts. I was kind of deluded into not even thinking about it. But scratch the surface and it was there. But it never appeared in my daily use.
Prior to the takeover I had been oblivious to it. After the takeover, the surface was scratched and what had previously been "underground" really made itself known in my twitter feed.
That isn't what made me leave the platform, but just my observation at the time.

You mean, Twitter.
I had the opposite experience. I never had this problem either, until all the firings happened.
After that, either someone wasn't looking after the thirst traps, or they actively changed the throttle of them so they kept appearing.
That was about a month before I left that cess pit.
The context is that the current government have been pushing for the name change from India to Bharat, to appease the hard line hindutvas India ... or, at least, the, nationlists.
You have to (I believe) acknowledge that this is a next level situation though.
I've never seen it this bad in the UK.

You say that. And your I read your original post again, to be sure.
There have been significant windfall taxes before and (in my country (UK), at least) I can't recall any disastrous long term indirect effects.
Oh, please ... I know bankers in my personal network actively boasting about how they're managing to the play the situation with interest rates to maximise profit without doing anything productive to achieve it.

Your comment rings true.
A 10 day sentence is pretty weak ...
