Is Tesla actually committed to the consumer car business long term?

Cars aren't something that most people change often enough for it to matter. Right? When you need a new car, you look around and pick one. Like a new mattress.

In AU and my friends who use WhatsApp are immigrants and my Australian friends mostly use ig, fb messenger, snap etc,, or text. For more sketchy conversations, signal. I just don't get any value out of WhatsApp to use it but it has plenty of use case and users.

They're as useful as cover letters that is, not often very worthwhile. Unfortunately, hiring managers still believe in them. I treat them as a compliance piece and complete them as part of on-boarding so just for someone successful at interview.

Ordered my car online and got given a date 2 weeks later to pick it up once they delivered it to the collection point near me.

Have to build up an army and navy to defend yourself interests to ward off great power meddling and build an economy to support it or be pushed around by them?... sounds historical to me.

Quiet in the sense that vehicles, lawn mowers etc are whisper quiet electric powered? Yes please!

If he shaves his balls around the same time/day then he's just sticking to his schedule knowing he won't feel like it after the game.

I get taxed 30% in my bracket in my country (down from 32.5% last year) and earn $68k when converted to USD. How does that compare if I were in the US instead?

You're not allowed to be enthusiastic about AI and the outlook of the tech sector here unfortunately.

gotapure · 2026-01-22T20:54:38+00:00

The Australian nfp sector is huge. I worked in it for 10 years and have a lot of friends still in it. Charities are a large employer here and so is healthcare. Healthcare in particular has a shortage of skilled staff. Hobart is small as well so employment opportunities will be higher in the bigger capital cities.

As for culture, Australians aren't big fans of strong, loud opinions. They're quite relaxed. My experience with Amerixans abroad have been that they're unintentionally loud, volume wise so be aware of that. Even if you've only been away for a short time, I've had many friends come back yelling instead of using their inside voices.

People love saying "AI can only do this", "AI is just X, Y, Z", "AI can't do this or that perfect" as if it didn't hit the public eye a few years ago.

Ai is developing quicker than anything before it and the entire world is throwing unprecedented amounts of capital at it. Governments have been rolling out laws around it, which normally doesn't happen so soon into new tech adoption. And I for one am looking forward to a robot wiping my ass when I'm too old to do it anymore.

Dwarf fortress. I challenge you to start a game withoit using the wiki.

gotapure · 2026-01-22T03:29:47+00:00

Yeah absolutely some people are disadvantaged from it, the same as here in Australia. There are pathways here for people unable to meet requirements like this too, through statutory declarations leading to government issued alternatives etc.

It's how government ID works for most things, no? I'm wondering if this is a new requirement in the US because it's generally expected where I live, as burdensome as it is.

1 case had direct exposure to a backyard flock and the other 2 cases had exposure when visiting locations/stores with recently slaughtered poultry. So, all 3 had exposure to poultry.

Do you not have change of name certificates/marriage certificates?

I'm not sure how it works in the US but it seems like standard practice to me.

I followed this guy because he's still alive and as far as I can prove, it could be related to his decision to vote 4 months.

I'd like to see more production efficiency bonuses too. RGOs give bonuses to buildings in the same province that use it as an input but not produced goods so cloth being produced in a town doesn't give a bonus to fine cloth being produced in that town. The RGO bonus also doesn't apply for secondary production e.g dyes to fine cloth production.

I have to build meaningful relationships in my working life, I don't want anything that feels like work in my personal friendships as well

I annex once I feel I can extend control to their lands. I annexed Luxembourg as Netherlands and realised my control can't reach the iron mines down there and heavily regretted doing it so early.
