Counteroffer: the App Store and the Play Store will be used for the precise reason they were built, making their owners a shit-ton of money.

Mixed opinions on this. More than once I've accidentally middle clicked on a text box and sent the contents to some server. Or middle clicking the new tab button will navigate to whatever is in your clipboard, or do a web search if it isn't a URL. Hasn't been anything confidential yet, but it is possible. I try to clear the clipboard asap for this very reason.

Don't worry, a significant portion of us in the US are also utterly confused in regards to whats going on with the federal government.

Thanks. I just saw at BBC that it was "for a very good reason". I just thought that I'm missing some context. I guess all that's left to say is to wish you a great day.

That very good reason's name? Manufacturing Consent. Iraq WMDs 2.0 brought to you by Mr No New Wars.

Makes you wonder if there's a Coca-Cola gas chromatography standard out there. Would be an easy task for new students to run every year, right?

Coca-Cola already has different ingredients in different markets.

That actually seems like an awesome lab to have at a University: the drink lab! Changing taste over time.

You don't need an account to lurk.

Yeah, it's not as if Mercedes (who made the vehicle he's talking about) or BMW are German.

Mercedes or BMW don't sell "tough trucks" lol.

They sell luxury goods, which people know to avoid when they care about reliability

The thing is, jeeps are even beating the BMWs when it comes to unreliability.

Yes Mercedes built that garbage for the US market because US market eats that crap. Then stellantis took it a step up and removed reliability from their vocabulary entirely - more profitable that way. I'd pick a modern VW over American garbage all day any day.

But sure, keep yourself convinced about exceptionalism of American SUVs.

>Mercedes or BMW don't sell "tough trucks" lol.

G-Wagon is body on frame

The screen doesn't have to be obnoxious like this, though. A Chevy van has a small screen embedded in the rear view mirror, which is impossible to see when not in reverse.

I agree, but you might want to practice what you preach.

I think it’s obvious these kinds of accounts were for engagement. Happy to see grifter accounts from two bit locales exposed for what they are.

But it's important to "punish" (via punitive fines) the right people, so that they will put some effort into not making that mistake again.
