Crossing the street in Vietnam is the weirdest experience: you just slowly shuffle out, and this literal sea of mopeds parts around you like a school of fish around a shark

In my case, it’s the combo of way, way to much walking in work boots and then later doing a lot of sitting. gotta shorten up those hip flexor, bae

I showered every day, but it didn’t help much. Didn’t help that the camp shower were effectively just someone spraying you with a high powered squirt bottle on the mist setting. 1000 psi, all mist.

Did they make a paper air plane out of that letter? The creases look like it

This is the most accurate thing ever. I’m pretty sure I still have dirt in some of the creases of skin, and I haven’t been in the field for 3 years

This is a brilliant comment - thanks for the laugh

Yes, but the dynamics of demand is rapidly changing. Look at the micromobility sector - there was nothing 5ish years ago, and now scooter and ebikes are everywhere.

the only thing keeping Chinese vehicles out are trade restrictions. Look at Europe: VW is in dire straights because they can’t compete with Chinese EVs.

I don’t think it’s market research though said research can look like this. The messaging doesn’t seem to line up.

Honestly, if I was a Ford shareholder, I would be dumping my shares as fast as possible - there’s no coming back from an open admission of defeat like that. He flat out said they can’t win, the barriers of entry are too high, and the key one (software like Xiaomi) doesn’t even really exist yet.

As others point out, the western automakers did this to themselves. Hoo boy did China out capitalism. Ironic

Idk, they’re sticky these days on NSFW. A few years back anything went as long as it wasn’t nudity of gore.

That said, I wouldn’t want my boss walking by while I was browsing this particular meme.

It is

The best part, though, is that you don’t have to be here and you’re subjecting yourself to lazy, dull content!

You also don’t want the internet to think to hard, or you end up with the most cursed stuff imaginable

got to hope it gets better!

Maybe, though, she was small when the world went to shit

The burning will undoubtedly attract more moths

This is an evolutionary strategy for them to occupy niches that other plants can’t, this giving them a competitive edge. Some other metal tolerant plants don’t hyper accumulate, and have pathways to selectively uptake what they need without poisoning themselves.

Hyper accumulators take up everything and then just store it in the vacuoles of their cells to isolate the metals.

Importantly, when the plants die, the metals are re-released, so if you’re phyroremediating you have to harvest them and then dispose of them in a landfill.

Finally, hyper accumulators can pose a risk to wildlife that might browse on them, whereas metal tolerant plants may not

That’s consulting 101 baby

I don’t know why, but this immediately popped into my head:
