$500mm is a fraction of what it costs to secure it. That just cannot be it.

How do you define young?
I’m definitely too old but I loved Tarkov before cheaters ruined it.
I know some early-20’s folks who grew up on DayZ.
Both games very hard to not suck at.
To be more precise: fuel efficiency standards go down with the physical volume a vehicle takes up.
So every year efficiency requirement goes up, but you just update the body every few years to add a little more sheet metal and stay within your legal mandate.
Ugh I don’t know which is worse. Next timeline, portal gun.
Yeah shielding. Totally passive.
mobsters did that in their houses, people who buy them often only learn about the previous owner after realizing that one or two rooms are faraday cages - zero wifi or cellular.
Not in places where constitutions are not the ultimate authority AND written such that they form negative rights by only limiting the governments power. That’s in all those places whose immigrants to America get on TV and call America’s constitution anachronistic.
I know we only ever see a handful of rooms, that’s fine, but with over 100 crew they always all have personal quarters that are probably the square footage of 3/4’ish containers.
150m in diameter is one way to think about it. But then it’s also 8 containers long, or 25 containers circumference at the largest point down to no more than a few in circumference at the bridge.
You know, that seems tiny, it’s like there’s no volume left for the hardware that needs to be between every room and all over the hull
Other responder is on the money for established brands.
For new car makes, they are forced to play it safe.
For example Rivian, let’s assume there is no technical constraint. They need to decide how much they are willing to risk before introducing a new product. When you invest billions before the first customer buys anything, your investors who are fronting all that capital want you to use the formula that is proven to work in every respect apart from whatever dimension you’re innovating on.
Cars going on sale this year were designed multiple years ago. They were tested. Tooling and whole new production facilities needed to be designed and built and supply chain set up for all the new parts. Test batches evaluated. It’s not like how you patch shit software almost on the fly in today’s beta culture.
If someone like Rivian got the shape wrong because in the meantime everyone decided the porsche 356 was the prettiest car ever made and every new car was round and curvy, they’d lose what’s called product market fit, which is the death sentence for every failed company. As a car maker they can recoup some money by slashing prices but this whole product cycle would be a huge cash loss they cannot afford to miss.
So everyone plays it safe. Everyone copies apple. Everyone emulates the design direction of Ford’s F150, Toyota’s Prius, etc.
Or, you know, change emissions regulations so that cars can be made smaller again.
Hate to tell you there’s no singular villain trying to kill kids with cars.
Literally the only reason cars got this big is because minimum efficiency is the result of dividing mpg by square footage, and by law the number has to go down every year. I do not blame auto makers for simply making the same popular models a little bigger with each refresh so as not to have to redesign from scratch the things that took 100 years of engineering effort to get to the present level of function.
You are correct. YouTube is tricky for several reasons, and hard to prosecute because the true monopoly is discovery (because everyone uses it).
Content can be consumed anywhere, you can follow some niche creator on Patreon, but YouTube is realistically the only place you’ll discover them.
YouTube chooses to demonetize and outright ban perfectly legal and normal content that happens to disagree with their politics. On it’s face this is okay, they’re a private company after all, but the insidious thing is that entire subjects may as will not exist for you know because YouTube bans them.
Nooooooo!!! Stitcher shut down, and Spotify actively hates people who listen to podcasts from computers. Any recommendations?
100%. Alphabet’s YouTube business needs to be next.
Woah, only USD 12 for a GENUINE fake cracked copy someone first downloaded from a torrent?
Never take tech advice from someone who hasn’t removed the device manufacturers advertisement from their email signature
Passenger door to passenger door doubles the available space for your door to open on the driver’s side. Especially important with kids you need to get in and out where you can’t just slip through.
I would totally pay for YouTube premium if they weren’t so good about making me watch my favorite gun-tubers on other platforms. Every channel has this endless and constantly changing list of words they can’t say for fear of being demonetized.
Fuck them indeed.
Break up the monopoly and I won’t need to block your ads because I’ll be able to go elsewhere.
