they probably just felt it was a waste to destroy the paper lol

If it’s anything like Egypt, old papers and books can usually be sold to scrap sellers for pocket change and they’re sometimes resold to falafel restaurants to wrap the falafels in.

I assume this is a similar thing in China but replace falafel with the Chinese street food equivalent.

that’s right! the square hole

strong competition with the teeth regrowing guy

but i think diabetes is more important than missing teeth lol

someone dropped a $

or maybe the next door Egyptian company arab contractors.

Compression. YouTube videos usually have low bitrate too.

They don’t care about the environment. They’re doing it to be self sustaining.

i think you need a US google pay account. If you put a California address they don’t check for a credit card

imo it’s not that correcting feels better than helping but rather it’s easier to correct someone than draft an answer of your own.

my problem with grayjay is that it really wants to give me stuff from the trending tab even though it’s supposed to be subscriptions only

damn here in Egypt it’s a dollar a month for students or 2 for others. even with the purchasing power difference its a pretty good deal

YouTube music allows background playback

thousands of years earlier you mean

i think controversial fits it better

i feel like a beacon on a military jet would be counterproductive if the jet were to fall on enemy land

they did show the iPhone 15 playing resident evil village

probably just the inner wires. the plugs and insulation are probably ending up in a landfill

Coming from a third world country (Egypt) these are the major problems with EVs according to my conversations with other locals:

1. Can’t charge at home. Many people live in densely populated buildings where they park their car on the street.

2. If they would install chargers in front of their buildings, they would cost a shit ton because of the current exchange rate and they would get stolen because of the price and the fact that they’re out in public. Situation is so bad here that even CAR EMBLEMS were being stolen.

3. Repair. There’s barely anyone trained on them, and since barely anyone’s buying them spare parts are rare.

4. Longevity. They won’t last as long as an ICE because of the battery wear, especially with the heat we get in the summer.

5. Price. Currently there’s only high end electric cars since only the rich have single family homes with garages. There have been “startups” that basically showed off some cheap Chinese electric cars that can only go like 30kmph but that’s pretty much it in the cheaper price point

That’s pretty much all i can remember.
