Indeed not because it’s a shitpost sub; it’s Neapolitan not Napoleon, Neapolitan meaning of Naples, Italy, they could have also used a Mille Feuille which we call a Napoleon in the US that he also didn’t have anything to do with except they were popular in fancy shops during his reign.

They should name and shame.

Is one of those restrictions that the woman, who can’t go anywhere without a male relative, has no say?

Charity is a big talking point for Rs too, they just don’t think the state should do any of it. Lots of them still tithe.

Which countries are shining examples of Islam at work? I’m having a hard time coming up with any that don’t have staggering wealth inequality.

Abortion, abstinence, women’s subservience. American Arabs vote democrat because the republicans would be happy if they were dead.

But if you asked a practicing Muslim and a republican for their views on a wide range of issues except which god you worship, you’ll find there are many more similarities than you are suggesting.

Famous for their distributing the wealth to people who need it, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar are positively wonderful places for the working class 🙄

they’re definitely not lying, promise, honest, no cap

You’re getting downvotes, presumably from people who haven’t spent any time in NorCal. This is a problem everywhere there from Oakland, to SF, to Palo Alto and San Jose. No where in the bay in safe from this.

No locals leave anything of value in there car for any amount of time.

I learned that in 2013 when my rental was broken into in a fancy Palo Alto restaurant.

But these aren’t violent crimes, which I think are declining, just property crimes.

They don’t prosecute or investigate car break ins there.

No one leaves anything of value not in the trunk for any length of time. Like you literally can’t run into the store for a minute.

They agree on a lot of things - but the color of their skin and the god they respectively worship is a real big divide.

For anyone on the outside who doesn’t care which god or skin color, they look practically identical.

Jokes on them, still didn’t read it.

I don’t think anyone is surprised that Arab leaders don’t like Biden right now. Not exactly a brave new take that would be surprising to anyone.

It sends a message, I guess. But doesn’t change anything.

Almost certainly not. Maybe it’ll get you fired and you’ll get a bunch of civil suits filed against you.

Sexual harassers almost never have only one victim - it’s pretty much everyone.

I don’t think they put you in jail for sexual harassment usually.

I don’t think the kids pay you to clean up their puke or blowouts.

It’s probably more about aggressive default bios speeds. Tweak your c states / bios overclocking / pcie power management / windows power management features. Idle power has gone down on most chips.

The Ryzen 3000 should truly idle closer to 20-30w.

If you have multiple GPUs in your home server you’re probably doing it wrong. But even then, at idle, with no displays connected, the draw will be surprisingly low.

Most systems with some ssd/NVMe, 2-4 DIMMs and maybe a drive or two should idle closer to 50w-60w.

Go tweak your power and fan settings. 100w at idle is way too much unless it’s 15 years old.

Fans, especially small ones are very sneaky energy hogs. Turn them waaay down.

Cachet.

Your comparison of Bombardier is a good one - but not so much for you. Bombardier was losing money on the A220 nee C Series and was going to lose more even without the ITC decisions. They had no manufacturing scale and didn’t have the money to build it - those A220s are now being built in Mobile, Alabama, alongside the rest of the A320 family.

Their order book was relatively thin - Delta took a big gamble in exchange for the hefty discount that those planes would ever get built. It didn’t look like it. Canada and Quebec already had two massive bailouts for bombardier, owned a big chunk of the program, and said they weren’t going to put more in.

That program had massive cost overruns and practically bankrupted all of Bombardier. They only survived because of Airbus. Before Airbus, the Federal Government and the Quebec Government already owned 50% of the C Series project. Because of the C Series, Bombardier is a shell of itself - they sold off all of their commercial plane operations (the CRJ, to Mitsubishi, who subsequently cancelled the whole thing), they sold off all their rail operations to Alstom. They only build business jets now.

It was also a massive strategic failure for Boeing - who could have bought the program instead, and been selling a fantastic small plane instead of Airbus.

But who else has tried to build a plane? How is the Sukhoi Superjet doing? How about the Mitsubishi SpaceJet?

China will eventually be able to build planes with their own engines - but that’s only thanks to truly massive state resources, and a big dose of corporate espionage. And it still will probably be a commercial failure.

Because building commercial success in the airline industry is hard. The old adage of “how do you become a millionaire? Start with a billion dollars and buy an airline” applies to almost every part of the entire sector.

You can’t sell a few planes and make money to build a bigger plane anymore. You have to invest tens/hundreds of billions of dollars and bet on long term success - and there aren’t many people willing or able to make those bets, for the next pandemic, recession or 9/11 to kill your business even if you did everything else right.

Airbus was propped up for decades by the governments of Europe, Boeing too - and same with Embraer and Bombardier. But even the resources of small nation states aren’t enough to compete with Boeing and Airbus on their turf. Canada didn’t have pockets deep enough for it - and they’re a reasonably wealthy country.

Believe it or not, this consolidation is almost certainly because of (good) regulation not capitalism.

The costs of building a new air frame are gigantic - the regulatory aspect in all countries is also gigantic. The barriers to entry are gargantuan - and the scale you need to be profitable is extreme.

But those regulations save lives. But they also keep competitors out.
