    This is such a weird stance for American companies and politicians. It truly blows my mind. You can say whatever you want about Americans or anything here. You can even say the president is a pedophile and it's fine (even if it wasn't true) but the second you say something bad about Israel because they suck everyone starts flipping their shit. With you so far. It's like our whole country is secretly run by Israel or something. DANGER WILL ROBINSON: That's cutting it pretty darn close to the whole Jewish cabal bullshit. Your country is not secretly run by Israel. It's run by reactionary old farts, who's more afraid of being called antisemitic, than they value human rights.
  • Hughes.net?

    As someone who had to support resold Hughes net networking I can tell you that satellite internet is great at downloading large bulks of information, otherwise you run into a problem of physics, adding 88,000 miles of round trip to your internet connectivity(1 hop to space then back to Hughes network gateway on earth, then back to space and then to you) are going to be super latency, gaming is not recommended nor is streaming, it can also be hella spotty as any weather events at your location or at hughes(which I think is in North Carolina?) will impede the line of sight needed between the dishes. I’ve never heard a good experience with satellite.

    lol look at this guy still thinking in terms of "the crime comes first". You arrest the dissident, then choose which 'law' they've broken. Don't worry about the details. 'Who is responsible'? The guy you just arrested. Duh.

    Oh yeah, location sharing will have almost no effect those risks. Totally agree. Just disagreeing that low probability of occurrence automatically means the risk assessment should be low.

    With 8 or 9 speeds, you still never really leave that ideal torque band while driving, no modern engine is so peaky that you're off peak torque after 100 rpm. The rubber banding sounds/feels weird to me too, even though it's not inherently bad. Turbo cars in particular have very long flat torque curves. Also, what IS the sweet spot? Just like on an auto, it's software that determines what ratio to use in a CVT. Software is not infallible. Sure they test it, but at the end of the day there's several factors to balance. There is no "ideal". Seriously. If you're looking for a new car, don't discount them. Research them. They swap the ZF 8HP into monstrous builds now because of its ability to take shit and its ability to put power into the wheels. ZF engineers managed to make it shift better, have more gears, be more fuel efficient… and at the same time, be more reliable AND contain fewer parts than their outgoing 6 speed. The 9G-tronic is just as good if not better, but only available in Mercedes and very few other cars (Nissan 400Z, Astons). I had one and it made my 2 liter 143kW diesel feel faster than my current remapped 3 liter diesel around 200ish kW. For my next automotive mishap, I'm considering either the ZF or Aisin 8 speed mated to a V8. Haven't tried the newer Aisin box yet, but the 6 speed in my first gen Cayenne S was the most solid part of the car lol. I've got two terrible ideas and one great idea lined up but since the great idea is a Lexus, it means twice the fuel consumption and less comfort than the horrible ideas. The Lexy is also available as a hybrid with CVT and more power but everyone said its the worse car despite being way more expensive than the 8 speed auto non-hybrid
  • Yeah that's fucked.

    That's not the reason for it. They want to ensure it isn't normalized. If you start seeing a lot of people openly saying they're anti-zionist, people who seem reasonable and generally agree with you, then you may consider that the propoganda you've been fed saying it's wrong inst accurate.
