I highly doubt that’s a China specific issue. Far too many politicians have additional ‘jobs’ as consultants, speakers or a seat in a supervisory board. At least in Germany it’s unfortunately quite common, especially in the more conservative parties, to have additional income that exceeds your regular salary as a representative.

The sea in New Mexico is all dried up because of of all the wildfires caused by fireworks from rich guys’ yachts.

What in OPs post implies that he/she is doing racist shit during his/her whole life? It’s a valid questions IMO and no reason to get personally insulting.

In case you haven’t done that already, also check out YouTube. I’m often suprised how much copyrighted documentaries are available there.

Amazing video which must have caused a huge amount of preparation work. Thanks for sharing!

Oh no, I’ll lose all my followers on cybertruck!

I thought all these planes were crashing because they didn’t have enough 737-MAX parts. Like some bolts and screws missing here and there…

As far as I know there is no plan to phase out Manifest V2 at Mozilla. As long as V2 and V3 are active in parallel it shouldn’t have a negative Impact on adblockers etc.

Tbf if there are shitloads of reservations it’s not ‘unused hotel rooms’ anymore. I think hotel rooms’ should be rather a temporary solution while the government is searching for a more permanent shelter. If you decide permanently use a hotel to give people shelter, that’s a great thing but then it’s not a hotel anymore.

Are there any better known sources? Charter97 doesn’t appear too trustworthy to me or am I wrong?

Drunk driving and murder are potentially dangerous for the child as well. I agree that it’s a very difficult topic to tie parental rights to one’s criminal records.

he will do almost anything, including lying, swatting the families of whistle blowers, committing securities fraud with very little consequence, or sacrificing worker safety, to keep that price high.

Just bear in mind that all these shady practices might have a short-term positive effect on the internal cost matrix but at the same time a lasting negative effect on the external reputation / revenue. I recently read a lot of posts in EV forums where potential buyers bring up Musk as a major factor not to buy a Tesla.

For me personally, the cars as well as the stock would be far more interesting without that manchild of a CEO.

I guess our society will rather build airconditioned green houses for wine than implement meaningful measures to protect the planet.

Are you sure about that? Putin still has access to nuclear weapons and I feel like if he’s desparate enough he sure as hell will use them. Even if they wouldn’t save his ass, he’ll take as many souls with him as possible. Furthermore, if NATO troops officially side with Ukraine, are we sure China, Iran, India etc. won’t side with Russia accordingly?

Not a washing machine technician but I guess an optical sensor measuring the light permeability of the water (over time) should do the trick. Similar to a smoke detector. But I guess weight is a thing as well.

1. Newer washing machines vary in time depending on how dirty your clothes are. So the same program may take 50 minutes or 90 minutes. This cannot be solved with a regular timer.

2. If you have a job with varying hours, you might want to start the washing mashine when you’re heading home. Then you’re clothes are ready to be hung as you arrive and they aren’t laying around for hours.

3. If you own photovoltaic, you might want to time energy intense home appliances such as washing machines, dish washers etc. to a period of overproduction.

Not saying, these issues are super important but there definitely are use cases for smart devices. However, I’d always recommend using a local / self-hosted rather than a cloud-based solution.
