Is this a meme? Is this why Americans look at pictures of chicken rice and ask "where is the flavourings? it looks so plain?"

i was super excited for the food when i went to vietnam and i had a few amazing meals, but pho is a daily staple there and it was super boring and usually didn’t even have herbs. i was there for a month and the best banh mi i’ve eaten is still in palo alto.

@rustchild @tonjkb Did you think the astronauts fly them with the touchscreens? They are completely automated/remote controlled.
English

@tonjkb The fucking Dragon capsule that docks with the international spacestation just has a touchscreen, my dude. Analog switches are dead.
English

Jony Ive: Using touchscreens for basic car controls is a 'dumb design' that endangers lives.
"People are dying because of dumb design."
"Multi-touch shouldn't be in a car. It requires by definition that you're looking at a display."
When the man who popularized the touchscreen admits putting an iPad in your dashboard is a deadly mistake, automakers must listen.
I grew up in cars with analog switches, and I miss them. You could operate the radio or the climate control by pure muscle memory while keeping your eyes on the road.
Now, the data backs up that everyday frustration. A University of Washington study proves touchscreens cause lane drifting. Starting in 2026, Euro NCAP will actually strip 5-star safety ratings from cars that refuse to use physical buttons for basic controls.
We sacrificed safe, intuitive hardware for flat screens. It is time to bring the buttons back.

@Elyasnoor01 @TheNorfolkLion Coming from the BBC it seems like they‘re openly mocking the population.
Who finds this funny? Except the thieves and the people running the system maybe.

This guy had his bike stolen and traced it down to a house. The bike’s been there for over 12 hours, but listen to how the police acted and the attitude! They say they can’t do anything because the back gate is open and there’s no other evidence. He then argues with the man, who clearly just wants justice for his stolen bike. The British police are an absolute joke.

@invertedfragil1 @streetwiseprof That‘s why rich Chinese are like 17th century pirates, roaming the Earth to find safe spots to burry their treasure where it will be out of reach of the king.
English

@invertedfragil1 @streetwiseprof More the opposite. Wealthy Chinese trust in the consistency of the CCP‘s domestic policy.
They trust there will be no rule of law. They trust their property can be taken from them at any time if they fall out with the wrong people. They trust restrictions will get worse.
English

Riddle me this: If China is the ascendent economic colossus it and western sinophiles claim it to be, why is it panicking about capital outflows?
Bloomberg@business
Chinese investors are rushing to find alternative ways to buy and sell overseas equities after Beijing launched its most forceful crackdown on illicit cross-border stock trading to stem capital outflows. Read more: bloom.bg/4fLeS2C 📷️: Qilai Shen/Bloomberg

@OvaMimms @cptdankkk Intel lacks behind Apple, their CPUs are inefficient space heaters in comparison. And I once made the mistake buying into Lisa Su‘s marketing and getting AMD, which was unsurprisingly even worse.
But you‘re right, Microsoft isn‘t helping at all.
English

Mark Zuckerberg says Apple's lack of innovation since the iPhone will lead to its decline
"They haven't really invented anything great in a while. Steve Jobs invented the iPhone, and now they're kind of sitting on it 20 years later"
"Year over year, I'm not even sure they're selling more iPhones at this point. Part of it is that each generation doesn't actually get that much better, so people are taking longer to upgrade"
"They built stuff like AirPods, which are cool, but they've thoroughly hamstrung the ability for anyone else to build something that can connect to the iPhone"
"I'm pretty optimistic that because they've been so off their game in terms of not really releasing many innovative things... eventually they'll get beat by someone"

@Sim89776996 the really traditional ones in this part of town are gone. But there are still old eateries in other places in KL and other parts of the metropolitan area. Good chinese restaurants are everywhere.

@OvaMimms @cptdankkk Apple hardware is better than ever, it‘s their competitors that are lacking,
I don‘t even want to buy Apple but other companies leave me no choice, PCs are all crap.
English

@cptdankkk Apple is fat & happy, they have no need to innovate.
They hire people who fit their 'culture', people who will not rock the boat.
Bean counters and HR NAZI's will be the death of Apple.

@DavidZhang360 The two pints of Ben and Jerry’s would cost about that much alone, if not more.
I think she was bragging about theft and is now trying to downplay it as a "joke" after the post blew up.

@TurnTaySJW @Jeremy_Bee @m4704008298721 @really_pickled @billyjhowell I like the way you think. Have you ever considered applying to work as an advisor for this woman?

English

@Jeremy_Bee @Sim89776996 @m4704008298721 @really_pickled @billyjhowell No he made a great point. We should ban black cars at night. And then ban gray, green, and blue ones in the day depending on where you’re driving. 😡

Just learned about the concept of a “telescope ranch” in Texas.
People pay to have their $10,000+ telescope rigs set up in the middle of TX to avoid light pollution.
Every night the roof rolls back off the warehouses.
Then you can remote in to your telescope and use it from anywhere in the world.

@FuckedUpYogis Huh, he made Croatia red instead of blue by accident…

@iskandarzhilmi @ThomasAlex2 @SnazzyLabs Bro, you’re in Malaysia. Have you ever even been to Palestine?
As someone who has pretty good knowledge of the Middle East, I still wouldn’t feel comfortable editing articles on this because from afar you have no clue what is real. I’ve seen first hand how they lie.
English

@ThomasAlex2 @SnazzyLabs It's lying by omission. Tried to add text about the Gaza blockade pre 7 October into the article and they rejected it like it was designed to do so.
