For those who didn’t read the article or aren’t following EU politics, Euro 7, passed in April, explicitly addresses the need for reining in pollution from brakes and tires. Some more information here:

The position adopted by the European Parliament improves the European Commission’s proposal by extending the scope of tyre abrasion limits to all tyres and not just those fitted on Euro 7 vehicles. It also directly links Euro 7 to the work that is being done in the UNECE World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP. 29), which will set global rules regarding a test method and limits for tyre abrasion.

There’s a new Euro standard “major version” every 5.8 years on average, so here’s hoping that my outdoor furniture will soon not become completely blackened within a year after the last cleaning.

So this must be all the “innovation” and “disruption” I keep hearing about.

The ham is the critical part here. It gives the pineapple juice something to work on.

Unpopular opinion: Instead of being a fighter for social justice, it could have been just some rando hitman hired by an even richer rival. Guy then was spirited away on the next private flight to Mauritius or wherever.

They’re selling spaying spray?

Very well done!
Minor nitpick though, it’s “Telugu”, not “Telegu.”

“In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticise after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic.” - K.M.

In tech, is there really a need, though? All of this year’s new hires I’ve met communicate exclusively in English. No-one cares.

The housing crisis is prevalent everywhere in Europe, though. But it’s not like droves of people have to sleep rough. Yes, rents keep going up, but they are still only a fraction of what you would pay in the US.
And you can actually still buy houses. Really cheap, even. Far off the highways, but some people opt in to exactly that.

Hard disagree. Else, there would never be any revolution, but history shows otherwise.
Or, as Marcuse put it, the prerequisite for radically rejecting something is not that you have to know what will come afterwards, but at first, you’ll enter a process of rejection of the existing situation and during this process of rejection, you’ll gradually free yourself from shackles and figure out what is to come next.

She’s ferocious, and she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush.

As you might remember, it used to be called “information superhighway.” As it turns out, not only does it make information flow faster from A to B, it also divides people that lie to either side of the road, in a metaphorical sense.
Required reading See especially figure 3b. TLDR: Increased information access and increased connections lead to more echo chambers.

It does. Because now somebody can jerk YOU off, and it won’t inflate your own score.
