Luo Ji isn’t even introduced until book 2. Season 1 is only book 1. I hate D&D for what they did go GOT as much as anyone else, but find something real to critique.

Where is this the case? Unimaginable here in Canada.

As with most sci-fi the author gets loopier in the later books. That being said:

• Dune: masterpiece of philosophy, one of the best books ever put to print
• Dune Messiah: a worthy sequel and must read after the first book; completes Paul’s arc
• Children of Dune: more plot driven than the first, but still thematically rich and entertaining.
• God Emperor of Dune: the most divisive of the books: you love it or you hate it. I am in the love it camp, the book is unhinged and the themes are marvelous. This is where I’d stop a read of the series.
• Chapterhouse and the other (Heretics?): forgettable in my opinion, simply because I’ve forgotten them. Later book fan opinions welcome.
• anything Brian Herbert: not terrible but not awfully good either. Makes for decent light reading I guess, and there’s good lore building in some of the books despite some unforgivable retcons (Agemmemnon, sigh)

Yeah that topology is probably better described as burrito

Read the source more carefully

Tesla drivers have the highest accident rate. From Nov. 14, 2022, through Nov. 14, 2023, Tesla drivers had 23.54 accidents per 1,000 drivers. Ram (22.76)

Accidents only. Worst driver counts DUIs a d fines as well.

A free market requires stringent regulation to function humanely and morally. The two are at odds with each other. My final sentence is a critique of neoliberalism, an ideology in which regulation is reduced and power is given to corporate entities and away from regulators. It’s been impossible to escape in politics since Thatcher and Reagan, and leads to some of the worst aspects of today’s society that we havr to suffer. One of which is the poor people who bought a car assuming it’d be safe, just to find that the companies saved a quick buck to their loss. I hope the people win these lawsuits, but I doubt the justice system has the teeth (or willingness) to prosecute this negligence as it should be.

No, but it is the result of deregulation. Similar models sold in Canada don’t have this issue because (drumroll please), federal regulations require immobilizers on new cars. Free market at work folks.

What they’ve done is reprehensible but this is simply misinformation, that livestream has been up for weeks.

I’ve never met an engineer who wanted to intentionally design products to break.

The beancounters on the other hand…

Sounds like you might benefit from some white noise sleeping at home. Can play it through your phone or even an old radio set to some quiet static.

Yup, tried and tested on the most recent alpha. I can confirm it works.

Jerboa had both in its latest alpha release on github, you should check it out.

What exactly did you not like? Using it now and it’s come a huge way in just a few weeks. Of all the apps I’ve tried it had the most compact and quick interface.

I feel people had a lot of loading issues when instances were going down left and right which gave Jerboa an unfair reputation through no fault of its own.

Paywall :(

A good suggestion for a registration question: “Explain the meaning behind your username”, which I’ve already seen on a few instances. Not only is this one tough for a botter to program a response too, but it’ll do a good job of filtering the name_1234 style of botting that we saw a lot on the old site. Any human should be able to answer easily, bots not so much.

Historically, fuel regulations have been wildly effective at controlling and reducing vehicle emissions. Improving and tightening those standards is another good step forward for our climate and air quality.
