This is cool - I hadn’t heard of it. This article describes it (while being suspiciously similar to the press release itself): https://newatlas.com/automotive/mahle-perfect-electric-motor/

What’s the last significant tech development you remember? They’re all just monopolistic lobbying firms.

I have really high hopes that Ladybird picks up the slack

The only way in or out is via gay party boat ferry.

May the shittiest company lose (before both being blasted into the sun)

That’s called McFusion

Nuh-uh, you’re stupid.

(Chat, rewrite my rebuttal.)

All right, these are some pretty cool Jeeps.

The horror I felt at reading this, and not in a sci-fi horror way. In a “watching Black Mirror from three seasons ago and realizing this will happen next year” kind of way.

I hate to make such a sweeping generalization (but here goes!), but many of the Jeep drivers I’ve encountered on the road have already brought me to the same conclusion.

Please bro just one more algorithm bro…

And yet, two typos in this sentence alone… I hope you’re more careful about proofreading your configs.

Hey, don’t forget a dead bear that you just found (gratis).

Source for this? I don’t doubt it but would love to be able to reference something.

Shoulda locked it up

Now that same hillbilly would come up to your mother and try to speak to her in broken Mandarin that they learned on RedNote.

These predatory companies make such a huff, like an abusive partner storming out while shouting “you don’t know what you’re missing!”

From the article:

"…journalist Liz Pelly has conducted an in-depth investigation, and published her findings in Harper’s—they are part of her forthcoming book Mood Machine: The Rise of Spotify and the Costs of the Perfect Playlist.

…

"Now she writes:

‘What I uncovered was an elaborate internal program. Spotify, I discovered, not only has partnerships with a web of production companies, which, as one former employee put it, provide Spotify with “music we benefited from financially,” but also a team of employees working to seed these tracks on playlists across the platform. In doing so, they are effectively working to grow the percentage of total streams of music that is cheaper for the platform.’

In other words, Spotify has gone to war against musicians and record labels."
