First thought in my head is this looks like something you could slap John Deere badge on. Just needs a yellow stripe and wheels. ;p

Even in that scenario it will complicate the setup. Now your Roku will also have to power your TV? No, any sane setup will have a separate power cable for the TV.

Yeah, Jaguars/Land Rovers already don't sell great and are really damn expensive.

I would say, put a reasonable effort into finding the owner. If the owner cannot be found, it's finders keepers.

Key thing about trying to find owners of lost things: You cannot just say 'is this your $200'. You need to do something more like, 'I'm trying to find the owner of some lost money' and if they claim it is theirs, ask them how much it was. This way you filter out grifters.

I would also say going to the police over $200 is well beyond reasonable effort. It just isn't enough money to justify using their time.

Thank you for this link. I had checked some sites, but not that one.

It doesn’t corroborate the Daily Mail headline. But it dies imply the headline will happen sometime in the near future.

No other source seems to be reporting this?

[–] BombOmOm@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

Or car infotainment software....which for some reason is on the same communications network as all of a car's safety-critical systems...

Absolutely anything to avoid the metric system! If we, as Americans, has to measure in quotation marks, we damn sure will!

Maybe. All the users dying not only lowered the number of users in a very direct fashion, but likely convinced a bunch of others to seek their high elsewhere.

Given they are such a small country, they can certainly produce some things locally. Obvious choices are small arms, artillery, and MRAPs. Anything beyond that they could probably pick one thing to specialize in, such as anti-air missile production or destroyer production, then export these to other countries. They currently export F-35 components, among other things.

However, expanding past that would be too inefficient for their size. Everything else they will need to buy from a partner. This will almost certainly include production from other European countries as well as the US.

Peter Zeihan did a short video on this recently. The tl;dw was:

  • Fentanyl is pretty new and both the producers and consumers didn't know how to dose it properly. Producers are now producing lower concentration output, and consumers have learned how to better meter their intake.

  • Anti-OD drugs are available for private ownership now, so a friend or family member can more easily save someone who is ODing.

  • And to a lesser extent: A bunch of people died, they can't die again.
