Maybe NASA would have bothered if its funding hadn’t been cut again and again and again…
Never heard of that
People are saying in the 90s but I know we had a guy dressed as a terrorists with a brown face on Halloween day when I was in highschool back in 2002 and no one cared, but maybe it’s because slavery isn’t part of our history and that part of US culture hadn’t influenced us yet… These days people like to act like it wasn’t accepted for disguises around here 20 years ago even though it actually was. Hell, I know for a fact we even had some on TV after 2005 and no one cared…
If I want a unique wallpaper I go on a walk in the great outdoors and take a picture
The person I was replying to was mentioning a Chromecast so just get something to cast your cellphone to your TV and you’re all set
If a truck isn’t for work then it’s a big car with a bed.
People carry more than lumber, some even have a goose neck receiver in their truck’s bed or a camper that goes in the bed and that isn’t compatible with anything but a good old body on frame truck bed.
If you want a truck that’s unibody just get a smaller car and a trailer.
Body on frame, only on the F150, that’s not snobbery, that’s just reality, work trucks need that.
Eh… I’m using Amazon as an example to show how it would be a bad thing?
Well the tariffs are there to protect the local industry and local jobs, without tariffs and considering the amount of subsidies and the cheap labor these companies take advantage of in China they would just flood our markets, kill the competition and then be free to do whatever they want. What Amazon did but for the car industry.
Must be crazy to assume such a thing!
They were suggesting that Rivian also make a real EV truck which they don’t
Buying a Fisker has always been gamble, so is buying anything from any startup honestly… Buying a Tesla Roadster was a gamble as well!
The middlemen you’re talking about are established brands. I have no problem buying an Indian made motorcycle from KTM because I know they have a real presence in North America, a dealership network and so on, they have something to back themselves with, but I wouldn’t buy a motorcycle built in India by a brand that has no presence outside of India and that, for all I know, could just fold tomorrow leaving me with the problem of having to find parts when needed… (just using an examine with another country)
They supply most of our electronics, tools and so on, but you’ll notice that you’re not buying the Chinese brands of these things, or if you are you’re not expecting to be able to get any after sale service in 5 years…
That’s established and stable brands that manufacture things in China which is completely different from Chinese brands building things in China and that can just close their doors tomorrow morning and leave the owners without any source for parts.
If an established manufacturer closes their doors tomorrow morning the same issue arises, the difference is that Chinese companies are known to do that and the Chinese government sometimes is responsible for closing them or simply doesn’t care about the effect on customers. They can reopen the following day and produce the same items as before but they won’t send you parts for the thing they were producing the day prior because it’s not the same company anymore.
Only one of the three is body on frame and it’s Ford’s
Hey! What did you just say about the Nexus 4?
