This seems accurate to what modern car underbodies look like, a smooth underbody is very important for aerodynamics and therefore fuel efficiency. For race cars it is often even more important not only for fuel efficiency but for downforce.

That is exactly what the word friend means to them.

Thank goodness an expert is here to swat down the drivel a top NATO Admiral is spewing.

Uhm… Gonna have to wildly disagree with you there, wartime and postwar industrialization and strong unions created the American middle class, globalism breaking the unions is what has destroyed the middle class.

No shit?

It is factually not, it is a version of the app that is separate and goes through the Chinese censors. If they were the same you’d just be able to use the same app.

Excuse me, TikTok is “unavailable” in China

So is TikTok… China funds lots of things that are banned there.

If it’s so decentralized, where are all the local communities? I know, I know, it needs to get bigger, but still. The lack of niche and local communities and even localized instances is a major weakness.

TWO slaps on the wrist.

Basically because Prussia developed it as a way of keeping soldiers in rigidly drilled formation advancing in lines towards defensive positions with muskets, because before rifles were common in military advancing in a tightly coordinated firing line in the face defensive musket fire was a devastatingly effective tactic but which required a lot of training and discipline. The Prussian army became famously successful while using it and it became very in style. As rifles became more common on the battlefield and defensive fire became more accurate it became obsolete as a tactic but it stuck as a ceremonial “impressive” looking thing. Now that everyone who remembers it being a real effective combat tactic is long dead and it’s just associated with Nazis and the Soviet Union… Well… It basically just summons images of authoritarian military parades and people who get hard for that kind of thing are still into it and everyone else thinks it’s stupid as hell.

That said, formal marching is still very much a thing in most if not all militaries, and it does tend to focus on rigidity and body control and very purposeful movements. Marching without bending the knees is a semi easy way of simplifying it so that every soldier seems to be moving the same way, which is often the goal of the effect, otherwise you have to train the exact time and angle which people are bending their knees and correcting for people with different length legs.

33% seems high for “people who are apparently barely ever online”

Yeah, Adobe is the worst.

HDR support and Adobe support… All I really still need…

They absolutely serve purpose in nature, they are a significant food source for bats and many other insects and males are pollinators.

EVs really don’t have to minimize weight nearly as much as ICE cars. Regen is really powerful with a large battery and aerodynamics and rolling resistance is king at speed. And larger and heavier batteries are cheaper too.

Holy shit Intuit and GM better shape the fuck up or the workers should just hurry up and fucking do it.

Cancer is by definition not stable, if it’s stable it’s just tissue.

They are gonna get such a smack on the wrist for this.
