She was always keeping a moderate tone, always leaning towards supporting China and the Chinese state as well. I thought she'd skip around the censors because of it.

Do we count EEZ encroachments in the Pacific? Only reason why China isn't as militarily adventurous as Russia right now, is because they know they're not ready yet. Not really yellow scare nonsense when China itself (Republic of) is concerned about this.

None of those objects are yours.

Ukraine is part of Russia? Does that mean Kiev can legally march on Moscow?

If you want a simple colour printer and scanner, go for a Canon Megatank or Epson Ecotank. If you're only printing black and white, a Brother laser printer is good, just a touch more expensive than other equivalents. The OEM toner isn't cheap, in theory tho, they can last much longer without needing to print. The ink tank printers have far cheaper ink. Only downside is that it requires printing once a week to ensure that nothing clogs up. That said, these tank printers are smaller and lighter than Brother Colour AIO's.

Well, the website is a bit of a distraction. The car sells well in Europe and China respectively, not just the US. Much like how SpaceX has largely been a success globally as well.

Largely, but they are finding some traction in some communities around the world. Nothing too much to worry about, but annoying, nevertheless.

Because it's not enough.
She wasn't enough.
She doesn't fit the box perfectly.
And she was too popular to ignore.

That is substantial... That's with an injet printer, or a ink tank printer? Converted mine roughly runs at £0.18 per ml.

Invade? They could just take their customs booths, move it up north, and by the time the Russians come back, just claim that it's always been there, and if they wanted to do anything about it, they'd have to invade China.

I will also add, the new Brother laser toners, can be a bit iffy with their chip. They're not as easy to refill (or use aftermarket toners) as the used to be, not impossible, but it's not as easy. Nothing wrong with Brother tho, when it works, it works well, and reliably. It's not like HP, where the cheaper printers require a ink subscription service (and in my experience, tend to break more easily).

We used to receive the US-built Tesla's, and now we receive a mix from the Chinese and US factories. The Chinese ones are way better built. Even the options from MG and BYD are impressive. But it's not all great though, GWM Ora that many journalists are going on about is... Less than acceptable when it comes to quality.

The Chinese built ones that supply Asia and Australasia are almost faultless as well. My one is an earlier model, US-built, and you can definitely tell the quality difference even with the early models that came from China.

Oh, you're thinking a Ute or SUV?

It would be a bit more serious if the territories they claimed were Japanese, but they're not. China's not going to pick that fight, because they know they won't win. China has picked regions guarded by nations that have ships such as these guarding their territories.

The Leaf is pretty much the worst option you can get. There are plenty of others, cheaper, and better, that actually have thermal management on the pack. Unless you're buying used, in which case the Leaf can be fairly good value, if all you're doing is city driving.

EcoTank is Epson, and Canon also has a similar MegaTank line. Unfortunately Brother has no tank-based printer (that I'm aware of).

Even here in New Zealand, we're consistently over 90% renewables, and we're not really trying that hard.

There is an app on Testflight and Play Store at the moment.

But you won't be able to login yet, besides the test Kbin api server.

Nice pick. I went from my dying LG V60 to the S23 Plus. It was inevitable...

All the right-leaning people I know don't like EV's and don't own them. Most, can't afford them. Most of the Tesla owners I've noticed in my country are Chinese. You've got plenty of Tesla ownership in Europe and China where sales dominate. Far from MAGA battlegrounds.

What are you considering now, just out of curiosity?

Also quite popular in China. Really it's the most affordable non-Chinese option, outside the US market. Unless you count the Tata Nexo, in which case, the Chinese options would be better...

The top selling EV in what's considered a developing economy, China, is a Tesla Model Y. And whilst the USD carries some weight in other economies. Middle-class is middle-class in the US.

Working fine for me. Galaxy S23+, latest Firefox release.

Would recommend this over the Leaf, but if I recall correctly, Hyundai's latest EV's may not have a manual outdoor door release. You won't get this in US markets, but in Europe and Australasia, I do know the MG is cheaper than both Nissan and Hyundai, and do have manual releases on all their doors.

Same here in New Zealand, but we lost a Prime Minister due to the concerted efforts of the far-right. Donald Trump would never make it here, but they can chip away at the institutions we built. I'm fine with another ideology clash, we can push them off the map again for another generation or two.

Most of the Tesla owners I know are Chinese. The early adopters were Caucasian, but now that they're mainstream, they're being bought by pretty much everyone.

I wouldn't say there are lots of better options out there. There's definitely a lot of options. But there aren't many that I have seen that are better. Those that are, are more expensive. Those that are cheaper and better are Chinese and aren't available in the US market. I know this because we do receive Chinese vehicles here. From memory, top three selling EV brands here are Tesla, and two other Chinese brands. There are some equivalent alternative options, but it might not be for all people either.
