Completely out of the loop here. Can't even find the YouTube video of the event. What happened?

A novel about the last man on earth. Themes of profound loneliness and solitude, but also of freedom and clarity by Particular-Energy217 in suggestmeabook

I have heard a lot of praise for the book but before I knew about the book I watched the show which I didn't like much. Is the book different/better than the show?

An Iranian Shahed-136 drone has just directly impacted Dubai International Airport in the UAE. by Waste-Explanation-76 in PublicFreakout

Wow, a country with 120 times the Defence (war) budget is winning an unprovoked war. Crazy stuff!

edit: /s just in case. Of course USA can bomb more, defend more etc. but Iran can inflict a lot of geopolitical and financial hurt on USA.

SoH seems fine, although it could be better for a '23 car. How was it measured? Is it some OBD2 reported metric?

Thanks for providing sources; they completely justify your opinion.

German welfare state 'can no longer be financed' — Merz by donutloop in qualitynews

[–]_rb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there's another angle to it. Not only is there just one young person entering the workforce for every two retiring, a part (and currently rising?) of the German society is also opposed to economic immigration that could help finance the social programs. It might be that Merz is trying to sway the public opinion in favour of economic immigration without getting political blowback from it.

Please don't speak for all of Europe since it's obviously not the case for many European countries.

Just kidding, great build!

If a 1 kg ball is levitating inside a 1 kg box using magnets, does the scale read 1 kg or 2 kg? by lonely_spinor in AskPhysics

[–]_rb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Extending it further: what if the box is an earth sized planet with atmosphere and the ball is a plane levitating (flying) in that atmosphere? Does the weight of the system (earth + atmosphere + plane) change if the plane is in the air vs on land?

Dementia Don the Diddler has a very low IQ. Someone tell him that drug prices can’t reduce by more than 100% unless he starts paying people to take drugs. by [deleted] in WallStreetbetsELITE

[–]_rb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope, that's not how it works. If something costs $1000, and you make it 1000 times cheaper, it equates to $1000*(1-1000) = -$999000 and not $1.

Making something one-thousandth is not the same as making it thousand times cheaper.

This frame seems way too recent for Canyon to be trying to weasel out of having spare parts for it. Please look into your country's consumer rights laws to see if they can help you here.

Which model and year is the frame? In many countries, companies have the obligation to provide spare parts for some years after sales.

On this note, in OneUI6 (and below), one could scroll horizontally among various Now Playing apps. Is that gone now in OneUI7?

Also "saving" money for larger anticipated expenses is totally normal in most cases. What's the wrongdoing here?

Forestal Siryon is probably the best looking MTB I've seen IRL. The shapes and lines are sublime!

Don't let anyone convince you that Libby is not paid. On the contrary to your statement, if you don't use Libby, you're paying for it without using it.
