I wish Mozilla would use some of their millions to bring a class action lawsuit against sites that pointlessly lock people out just because they’re not using Chrome/Safari/Edge.

He was willing to demonstrate the devices, but only if there were no scientists present, claiming that they might steal his ideas.

Chef’s kiss!

And I wish more Wikipedia articles had headings like “Elf involvement”. :D

Switzerland, however, seems to be taking a less confrontational approach. The message seems clear: Switzerland has no interest in provoking Washington.

WTF? Simply not taking your regular phone is “confrontational” and a provocation?!?

So Trump can lie about the size of the fish he caught the way he lies about his golf score?

These dogs even have their own Wikipedia page.

I should hit you in the balls for that mistake. 😜

Crave. “It’s got what plants and Catholics crave!”

Actually sweatie

The world trying to prepare Trump’s tariff stance?

Three aliens land on Earth and transform themselves into beautiful buxom babes in order to drain life force from men during sexual excitement. Meanwhile, detective Oakenshield bumbles his way into the investigation of the dessicated bodies.

Apart from the comedy element, sounds a bit like, well, Lifeforce.

I think one of the articles I looked at said the Focus estate is their last estate and is expected to end production this year or the next.

Musk has a distro???

The thing is, that twat in the White House doesn’t care about cars sold in Europe by US companies, only cars exported to Europe from the US.

And IIRC Ford has completely ended the production of saloons and hatchbacks in the US to focus solely on US-tax-break-covered “light trucks”: 4x4s, crossovers, pickups, vans etc.

AFAICT there is only one Ford-badged saloon left in production anywhere in the world (the Mondeo/Taurus, with no successor planned), made by a joint venture in China and sold in the Middle East. And the last estate (Focus) is expected to be discontinued this year.

Leaving only oversized energy-guzzlers (even the full EV 4x4s have a bigger carbon footprint than a compact ICE hatchback) unlikely to win a huge swathe of the European market even before he alienated every non-fascist on the continent.

Trump admits to not being that great, promises to try to be a better person in future

I remember this same whole “Wahhh! You don’t buy our cars!” palaver playing out with the US and Japan back when that cunt was first expressing his love of tariffs. (Late 80s/early 90s)

Sure, Japan had some trade barriers. But Japanese automakers absolutely worked their arses off with market research, design etc in order to succeed at selling in the US market. US automakers couldn’t even be arsed to install coin holders that fit Japanese coins, let alone put the steering wheel on the right side of the car.

And even if US automakers nowadays showed even a modicum of nous for foreign markets, practically their entire production line has been geared to churning out ever more monstrous pickups and 4x4s, thanks almost entirely to their fucked up tax rules on vehicles.

Well, if we’re going for turn of the century guilty pleasures, let’s go all in!

An exotic dancer is frozen in 2001 and unfrozen in 2525 by two female warriors fighting against robots that have taken over the world.

So many layers to that name.

I mean, “Yanks” is right there.

Or “septics”, if you wish to be politically correct.
