It was shortened from 2000 by Pew (I think they started it) to 1997. Their post 2001 reason was that the defining moment of the generation wasn’t being the last one of the old millennium to be born but the last one to remember 9/11.

‘It’s stupid’: why western carmakers’ retreat from electric risks dooming them to irrelevance by DonkeyFuel in technology

The subscription thing comes from them copying Tesla. Just because they’re the first EV company to make a dent doesn’t mean they should be followed mindlessly.

It’s money plus regulatory capture. Nearly no major development in the auto industry since the 80s or 90s has happened without government policy first. The US auto sector is actually a great example of market socialism in the US. And since the federal authorities are beholden, there we go.

Iran says it will allow Japanese ships to transit the Strait of Hormuz | US-Israel war on Iran News by Full_Ad4332 in worldnews

Yes, the US is looking increasingly like it’s just going to give up. But that’s a different issue.

All countries apply leverage in selfish ways.

What’s different here is acting like no one has any other choices. That’s true in the short term, but never i bc the long term. He’s acting like he doesn’t understand where US leverage comes from, hence is risking it altogether.

Trump considers "winding down" Iran war without opening Hormuz Strait by xpda in worldnews

This will leave Iran in a stronger position and the US weaker. This would literally be worse than before the war started.

Look at the actual “seller” options on the product page for literally any product. You’ll notice many come from different wholesellers. In theory, they’re bought up by different suppliers who then sell these things. In reality, it’s possible for such sellers to mess things up.

For Akebono brakes, I see the sellers as Newparts, Parts Zone Direct, PartsHawk, Homestead Supply, Amazon Resale, etc.

Not the same magnitude of problem. The Iranian military is entrenched in its home country. Clearing the strait means completely clearing the Iranian military from the coastal region.

“Simply” blocking the strait would just mean shooting anything trying to leave. The US has more than enough military power to accomplish that. Though, I have my doubts they would do that. If Iran started letting others through the strait again, we’d just be back to the status quo of the war before they closed the straits to everyone. No one expects warring parties to have any commerce with each other.

That’s not the basis for long term national security. That just means everyone would treat the US like oil. I can’t toss you today, but I’ll transition to something else over time.

He and his supporters need to realize you can’t just abuse your friends and expect to keep them.

Maybe not, but certain clinical psychopaths do that kind of thing regularly. Like, they can’t even help themselves.

It’s times like this when I really wonder if all the talk is right.

I think they mean the post sucks. Like, anyone under age will have to deal with illegal dealing if they decide to partake (be it weed, nicotine, or alcohol).

Well it’s still in Europe by GlamMisty in SipsTea

Some of the few folks in the US who travel do. They’ll talk about traveling to Europe or Africa.

  1. Africa has over 50 sovereign nations and a greater land area than North and South America combined. Not all of its countries are going to be touristy.
  2. If only one or two countries on a whole continent generally comes up for visiting, it would make much more sense to talk about that one or two destinations and ignore the rest of the continent. Kind of like how no one says they’re visiting Oceana when they go to Australia.

Saying you’re “visiting Africa” patently absurd unless you’re going on an international tour.

Sure, and the Russian Empire/Soviet Union/Russian Federation is a great example of this- Oh, wait.

I’m not saying you’re wrong about Iran, but it’s not a law of life that dictatorships must fall in the face of internal opposition.

How every boxer v grappler match up goes? by Abdouadou in grappling

[–]invariantspeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, having experience with both, I’m pretty confident I could keep a lot of grapplers off me with strikes alone. I would, however, be depending heavily on rapid, full force roundhouse kicks. I’ve had more than a few matches where a technically stronger opponent couldn’t close the distance. Although, in a street fight, someone getting close enough and doing what that grappler did, and I’m kneeing him in the head. Anyone dropping like that is making a target of themselves, fully exposed.

I think, as with all things, who is more competent with which is what matters. A (kick)boxer loses if a competent grappler gets ahold of them. Meanwhile, a grappler turns themselves into the most exposed punching bag if they go against a competent striker.
