Unibodies do have a frame it's just not a completely separate assembly like a ladder frame.

As others have said there are lots of places to jack a car. Nobody uses the flange on the rocker panels unless they're trying to change a tire roadside with the emergency jack.

Most of the tech billionare's ideas comes from watching a dystopian 80s scifi and saying "let's do this but where I'm the bad guy."

Show me one thing Elon ever came up with that isn't in Total Recall.

Mossad's Epstein files must be wild.

They would have had to build that infrastructure. I'm not saying fundraising is easy. But it's possible as proven by wikipedia. They could have cut Google loose 10 years ago and said "we're going to use our runway to try to put together a wikimedia foundation style fundraising operation. I don't think they can do it now because the trust, goodwill and quite frankly, userbase is gone.

What on earth would that do? The poisonous leadership would not use it to improve the browser nor would they start working for donors instead of Google.

My point is that there is a funding model that they could have pursued when they still had goodwill and trust. And my hope is if the government finally puts the boot in with Google, then this current version of mozilla will collapse, the rats will leave the ship and hopefully a good browser will emerge the way firefox emerged from netscape.

It's the board and the wider leadership who are controlled by Google and intent on destroying Firefox. The current CEO is pretty new, and replaced a heavily criticized CEO that spent years overseeing the decline of Firefox. The new CEO is a former McKinsey consultant.

Daily reminder that Mozilla's new CEO is a former McKinsey consultant.

Mozilla could have focused on being user-supported through fundraising like Wikipedia. Instead they chose the comfortable path of being funded by their biggest competitor, who is an evil monopoly spyware ad business, which has been compelling Mozilla to kill Firefox and become the badies on the way down.

Israel’s “achievement” is being even worse than that: a warmongering, genocidal apartheid state.

and also

a fascist theocracy

Those children weren't civilians, they were potential combatants. Whose to say they wouldn't have grown up to become militants?

Also observing that Israel murders children is anti-semitic. Haven't you ever heard of the black legend?

EDIT: Those children were probably anti-semites who died on purpose so the IDF could be accused of being baby killers.

 

Is it weird to be an American interested in Canadian news?
