Gonna be real fun to see the crash test rating.

Without crumple zones, all of the kinetic energy goes into the occupants.

Exactly. If you’re gonna make a chemistry joke, at least get it right.

Something like “Alcohol isn’t a solution, but it can be a solvent for the right problem” would be clever and true.

But, it’s not. Alcohol is not a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances, nor a substance dissolved into another.

It’s its own chemical category of one or more hydroxyl groups bound to a saturated carbon atom.

The difference is HBO is a media company that largely operates in the US, and Jon Oliver making fun of them isn’t going to hurt their business at all. Apple is a hardware company that also makes media. And selling hardware in China is critical to their business. Since the CCP owns China, they can get their panties in a twist and just ban Apple. Like they did with government devices.

As a publicly owned company they have a legal responsibility to maximize profit for shareholders. It’s the same reason why Twitter had to agree to the sale to Elon Musk and why they had to force it. It was a terrible move overall but since Elon was buying all outstanding shares and taking it private, the board literally had no legal choice but to take it since he was offering well over market value.

Public companies don’t get to take moral stands when there’s money on the line. They legally have to put shareholders first.

Yeah Judy Garland was horribly abused. Physically, mentally, sexually, forced to take drugs to control her.

That’s even more than I thought she would have made though. That’s $11,000 a week adjusted for inflation.

Nothing compared to the $66,000 a week the others earned though.
