Yep that's why I don't understand all those people with Kindles and huge Amazon book collections. They can literally take it all away on a whim. If I want to own a book I'll purchase a physical copy, but ebooks? High seas for me. I feel like a 'free' ePub in my Dropbox is safer than whatever proprietary format in my Amazon account.

Edit - getting mostly replies defending ebooks and stating disadvantages of physical books (also, yeah I know books "aren't for showing of" lol, like that's the only reason for owning a book).

Just want to add I have both and get their pros and cons. I read tons on my ereader too, just not a Kindle because fuck that closed system, it's not for me (for reasons mentioned above).

Depth of field is an incredibly important tool for photographers? Not sure why you think they try to avoid it 99% of the time (apart from the fact that you literally can't avoid it, but I'm assuming you mean shallow DoF).

Petition to put all of the races in Europe

And then call it the World Championship anyway!

Always funny (read: sad) seeing the hypocrisy of non-vegan leftists.

Hey people, oppression against non-human animals is still oppression, also known as speciesm.

Leto II probably

Rice veggies and beans is among the cheapest of foods.

Are you memeing? I hate Adobe as much as the next guy but Inkscape is absolutely horrid compared to Illustrator or even Affinity.

So not the point though

Your phone is probably the most secure device you own, provided you don't download shit like TikTok.

Lmao are you unironically saying you're doing the right thing eating beef because you're creating incentive to make you stop eating beef?

Oh wait, you can't, they're dead on your plate.

Yeah so apparently it's a real picture taken quite some time ago that has been upscaled. It looks absolutely horrendous though and 100% fake, especially the parts you highlighted. I guess I'm not terminally online enough to recognize a repost or something, but weirdly enough I'm OK with that.

Sadly this isn't just common in the bacon industry, similar abhorrent practises are common in literally every livestock sector. The workers develop a sort of disassociation and don't see them as animals anymore, or just straight up don't care.

Go vegan everyone, stand on the right side of history

Ah didn't know that!

Perhaps try driving one?

Yeah sure I'll go test drive a Tesla without any intention of owning one just to see how regen braking works, good idea. Not sure why you chose to be all passive aggressive suddenly. Also, engine braking on a motorcycle is generally going to be more aggressive than cars, that's simple physics (mass, momentum etc). Not really comparable.

(B) No waste/by-products (e.g. filter, brewed coffee granules residue, blah blah) - so much less carbon footprint.

Not sure how you come to this conclusion. The waste is the same (if not more), just ends up somewhere else. Also, you're adding a whole extra process (freeze drying) requiring extra energy, and water needs to be boiled twice (during brewing and at home).

Oohh that sounds cool, just put it on my wishlist!

You had me until "veganism is a religion"

For me it's not about analog vs digital or mechanical vs quartz vs smart. I just like shiny things, and quality products. Might be me being shallow but I like holding or wearing something that you can tell is made well. Watches are one of the last remaining items left that revolve around craftsmanship. The fact that they tell time is kind of secondary to me haha.

They're not talking about that. The issue is that with the aggressive regen braking, those cars decelerate very quickly, way more quickly than an ICE would with engine breaking. The lack of brake lights therefore means lots of drivers are caught off guard when a Tesla starts coasting before them, which sometimes almost feels like they're on their brakes.
