No idea, that's what I've been told, but Japanese engineers usually know what they are doing.

Afaik, the problem with buried cables is that in case of a flood or tsunami they might break, get exposed and electrocute someone.

I came because Reddit's a shitty company and due to the ban of 3rd party apps. Which group am I?

PipeWire is a server and user space API to deal with multimedia pipelines. This includes:

  • Making available sources of video (such as from a capture devices or application provided streams) and multiplexing this with clients.
  • Accessing sources of video for consumption.
  • Generating graphs for audio and video processing.

Nodes in the graph can be implemented as separate processes, communicating with sockets and exchanging multimedia content using fd passing.

There is no spoon.

The oil lobby wouldn't be specifically against cars from another region, they are against electric vehicles in general, whether they are produced domestically or otherwise. The primary benefactors from the tariffs are the US electric car manufacturers, who would lose profit over not being able to compete with subsidized cars. They are probably the ones who lobbied for them.

Whether you agree or not with their justification (or think that it's not the real reason), they clearly have no justifications (or reasons) to impose tariffs on unsubsidized (or at least not as heavily subsidized) EU cars.

Yeah, ok. I suppose that helps a bit. This kind of ambiguity exists in pretty much all languages, but good to know there's some justification for that rule.

See my other comment in the thread, it applies to pretty much all languages that capitalize letters.

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 1 points 1 month ago

It's just so weird, I know many languages, some don't use capitalization at all, sure, but all that do use it do it for names and start of sentences. Sometimes whether a word is a name or a noun is different from language to language (for example language names, some capitalize them, some don't), but is a separate issue.
And languages make grammatical changes even to this day, it's never too late to change something that has no benefit or hinders the usage.

I don't think the US would either. Their justification for tariffs on Chinese cars was that they were uncompetitively cheap due to subsidies. Doubt EU is gonna subsidize cars, at least as heavily as China.

What do you mean? Why would Europe impose tariffs on their own cars?
