Japan got fed up with the US interfering with its trade

This is cracked. US embargoed exports of oil to Japan. Japan got most of its oil from the US. Japan decided to invade Indonesia (Dutch East Indies at the time) to get oil, but the US signaled that they'd be very cross if that happened so Japan decided to preemptively hit the US fleet and invade the then-US possession of the Philippines to open the way to DEI.

You're finally admitting that the Russian invasion is murder?

Unibodies do have a frame it's just not a completely separate assembly like a ladder frame.

As others have said there are lots of places to jack a car. Nobody uses the flange on the rocker panels unless they're trying to change a tire roadside with the emergency jack.

Most of the tech billionare's ideas comes from watching a dystopian 80s scifi and saying "let's do this but where I'm the bad guy."

Show me one thing Elon ever came up with that isn't in Total Recall.

Yeah I refuse to pay a "convenience fee." I'll mail a f*ing check if they try to charge me.

They would have had to build that infrastructure. I'm not saying fundraising is easy. But it's possible as proven by wikipedia. They could have cut Google loose 10 years ago and said "we're going to use our runway to try to put together a wikimedia foundation style fundraising operation. I don't think they can do it now because the trust, goodwill and quite frankly, userbase is gone.

What on earth would that do? The poisonous leadership would not use it to improve the browser nor would they start working for donors instead of Google.

My point is that there is a funding model that they could have pursued when they still had goodwill and trust. And my hope is if the government finally puts the boot in with Google, then this current version of mozilla will collapse, the rats will leave the ship and hopefully a good browser will emerge the way firefox emerged from netscape.

Is it weird to be an American interested in Canadian news?
