So by that logic Apple's CPU are fast because they paid Geekbench?

Was it bad when it was the US doing it against the UK? Or is it only when the people doing it eat more rice than us that it is bad? People said the same thing about the Japanese (they steal designs, they copy, it is bad quality, they are stealing our jobs, and so on).

Do they also deliver all their secrets to US/EU/Taiwan/etc or is it only with China that it goes from ordering some products manufactured to "deliver all their secrets"? Strange how almost everyone points their fingers at the CCP when we know for a fact (hey Snowden etc) that the US does what we say we think China does. I guess China bad > facts.

Sure if you are Bezos or Musk. Otherwise, no.

Do you say the same about Intel, Amd, etc. or is it only big bad China?

This isn't a new thing in the Tour and it is normally not a problem, but since someone crashed on it then it must be the "white shit" that caused it. Not one of the hundreds of other variables - like the rider.

And yet fatter tyres are faster than the slimmer ones they used to run. No-one run slim tyres these days.

Teslas have too much play in bearings and steering column (from new) and unlike every other manufacture out there they refuse to follow the standards and says it is how it is supposed to be. This forces owners to pay to get a factory problem fixed with zero help from Tesla, otherwise their car will not pass inspections.

Also, it isn't normal for a 3-year-old car to risk dropping a wheel. You should read some more about this before you defend them.

EDIT: Here is a reddit thread about the problem (and an article in Norwegian):

>"Almost half of all Tesla Y fail mandatory tech inspection in Denmark and make headlines for it; similar numbers in Tesla-country Norway."

>"The most common issue remains slack in the wheel alignment and suspension, found in 22% of TMY's, as opposed to .1% of ID4's."

>subsidized

So, like Tesla. Why is it that when it is a Chinese company it is basically Evil Communism, but when it is in the US it is fine?

Why? Tesla has huge quality problems (ranked by far the worst used cars in several countries incl. in Germany), an awful CEO, etc. BYD are better quality and cheaper which is insane.

The end of the US as we know it happens. Sure the US could win a war ("win"), but the US without US Europe trade, EU turning to China as its main trading partner including in military equipment, no more bases in EU, less access to other parts of the world, and so on. That would be a US that would wither and die.

That's not how this works though. This is a tripwire. If 13 German soldiers died at the hand of the US it would cause a bit more of a reaction in Germany than sending money to Ukraine.

>It would obviously be better if French, British, or German troops were in Ukraine

How is that obvious? Unless you have invested in a post-WW3 world.

If the US actually did invade Greenland it would mean the end of US Europe trade and cooperation as we know it and the end of NATO (and likely UN). China would suddenly be the main trading partner, also in military equipment. It would be the end of US as it is today.

>My immediate instinct is that the average European has far more to do with an average Ukrainian than the average Greenlander.

There are fewer differences between a Dane and a Greenland Inuit than between a MAGA and a Democrat. Maybe you should visit?

>These kinds of joint exercises are pretty common and largely symbolic.

Danish Air force Hercules are doing their best impression of the Berlin air bridge to transport as much as they can to Greenland, airlines have transported personnel, several countries are sending navel ships, planes have already been doing exercises. While this isn't the first exercise there this is absolutely not common and just symbolic. Sure it isn't a force that can fight the US, but it is historic and unprecedented in Danish/Greenlandish history and it is a tripwire.

To put that into perspective the US has around 150-200 staff in Greenland.

Yes, and so have Bill Gates, Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos, Bloomberg, etc. etc.
