Mostly because everyone else is also there, and unwilling to change.

Australia has not “banned guns”. They have some very strict restrictions on who can own them, but they’re absolutely possible to obtain.

Fuck me there’s some ignorant people here.

You can get semi automatic hunting weapons relatively easily, same as in New Zealand.

The problem is, there’s enough people with a legitimate use case of firearms that banning them completely isn’t possible.

Kessler syndrome is something the Internet loves to talk about without truly understanding.

These satellites fly at a very low orbit, and will deorbit themselves within a few years if they go dead. They would likely deorbit even faster if there was a debris cloud following a collision.

We’re not going to be locked out of space for generations, not by any means.

AI slop generally doesn’t go down well here.

They are legitimately moving slower than a snail’s pace, and Ukraine is even retaking territory in places. There’s no conceivable way this could be considered to be going well.

Making sure your child is above board as far as taxes etc go is genuinely a noble thing to do.

It’s a backronym, but one used officially by the company, including having it on their vehicles.

The whole “women’s clothing has no pockets” situation happened because women buy clothing with no pockets, then complain about the lack of pockets.

If you made men’s clothing with no pockets, you’d have a bunch of clothes nobody wants.

Much the same way as women’s clothing not having pockets.

If you made men’s clothing with no pockets, you’d have a bunch of unsold men’s clothing with no pockets.

That’ll do it.

Oi mate, you got a loicence for that me-me?

They’ll find it, their space program is one of the few things going well for Russia, and there’s too much prestige on the line.

We need to mock the British more, they don’t get anywhere near what they deserve.

Very soon, you’ll need a VPN loicence.

Did we learn nothing from Grenfell? Stop covering the outside of the building in flammable shit.

That’s a massive drop for any company, although I suspect the US manufacturing industry isn’t doing well in general.

I suspect the main reason is people become far more concerned with reliability and running cost when times are tight, and their vehicles are anything but reliable.

You do understand that a roundabout is an intersection, right?

Yeah, just depositing the money into your account is surprisingly sloppy.

Vending machine business, that’s the way to go.
