It looks like the UI of one of the good NFS games from that time period. I love it!

There's forced labour and child labour in tea growing, it's mostly grown in countries that have different definitions for human rights. And unless you're buying specialty tea, those farmers are paid pennies while doing hard work.

I don't think there's any ethical consumption of industrial scale agriculture that cannot be mechanized, because we don't want to pay the real costs.

The industry is sick because everyone is looking for the lowest prices, but translators don't like machine translation. They don't want to just review the output, because actually doing the translation leads to better understanding of what they have to do.

But who wants that? And you're going to say that's exactly what a travel agent does, selling me stuff so he can get a kickback. But when stuff goes wrong, I'll yell at the travel agent so he has some incentive to curate his ads.

Cheap electric guitars are much better now since the parts are CNC'd, even if they don't come properly setup from the factory. As long as the fretwork is good, you can easily upgrade everything else if you have problems with it.

An X3 (1930kg) is 100kg heavier than a Tesla (1822kg) in the EU (according to the manufacturers websites) and nobody here would think of an X3 as a small car.

It would have too much power so all the psychos in the world would do everything to get elected.

>So often the characters get nothing to do, nothing to say, it's nobody's job to create narrative momentum. It's just brutal.

That's exactly how the books are. Cool concept, but there's barely any plot, nobody has any real motivation, things just happen to them.

Signify is the new name of Philips Lighting, it was renamed, not actually a different company.
