Cover the cut side panel with some nice black mesh and it could almost look factory

How hard can it be to produce a simple battery pack, for a company that is in the business of designing and producing battery packs no less...

While that is true with humans, I'm not sure if that applies to Giraffes with such long windpipes

Honestly as big of a piece of shit as bezos is, he's ten times better then musk

While I don't disagree on character level, I think what bezos has done with amazon is probably much worse for the climate than anything Musk has done.

Amazon really enabled consumerism on steroids, where people buy tons and tons of goods often not because of real needs but because corporations through ads and influencers have talked them into wanting the new shiny stuff. These goods are produced cheaply and with little regard for the environment (or for the people producing them), in some poor asian country and then shipped half way around the planet, often even sent by air mail just because people lack self control and "need" to have their order in the mail immediately. And then, be it because it was an impulse purchase or because of cheap construction or the thing not being hip and new anymore, the stuff goes to a landfill after only months or a few years of use, wasting tons of resourses and energy consumed in prodiction and turning into a burden on the environment again.

All that is not to say Musk is somehow not as bad, but to say they are both equally very bad people, just for different reasons

I mean, apart from the whole "shouldn't have taken the car in the first place" thing, if you are stuck in a traffic jam for 7 hours, surely it's moving slow enough that you can get out of the car and look for water & a restroom somewhere in walking distance, as long as one person stays to move the car if necessary?

$1 million-a-head dinner

I can't even imagine what that would look like. Surely the ingredients can't be that expensive? And while cooks and staff probably are paid very well, are they gonna spend so much time on a single dinner to warrant that price?

Probably also a factor is that you would be spinning up a whole production line and automation systems for phones that will only be in production for 12 to 18 months, after which you'd have to adapt or redo everything for the new model.

That may be but if they would shorten "female soldier", wouldn't they refer to her as "a soldier" and not "a female"?

Seeing how similar this interface looks in all the examples makes me think this is not something the airlines did come up with themselves, but rather might be a something offered by a third party that they implement in their booking process.

I.e. not only milking the customer as much as possible by having them bid instead of fixed price upgrades, but maybe even having a third party taking a fee or commission, which will ultimately be passed on to the customer through higher prices.

This is just speculation though. Does anyone have insight into this?

ad hoc affogato

Now I'm curious what the difference is between ad hoc and non ad hoc affogato, because pouring hot coffee over ice cream sounds like a standard affogato to me

I use Thunder.

I love that there are so many different apps available for such a comparatively small platform as Lemmy. So many flavours to chose from :)
