Cost. I think all of the 5th generation were top loaders. On the cd audio side nice stackable separates were tray or slot. Cheap stand-alones were top.

6th was a split but then I think the perception of slot or tray loading being more prestigious moved everyone to slot/tray.

Plus I think top loaders might have been less secure. I certainly remember a number of physical mods or swap techniques that defeated top loader security very easily.

Same thing happened with videos as well. Started with manual top loaders and then moved to slot.

Wah wah I’ve blown loads of money buying a dying social media brand and driving it into the ground.

Give me more money now or I won’t use my special money making powers to make this company more money.

Legal or not. Does anyone have any idea what these AI and robotics things, that only Elon holds and were developed by him completely separate to Tesla, are?

Oh my god that’s awful.

Nearly as bad as an agency that does that to their own people and that of another nation.

Not seeing a lot of similar articles about Shin Bet though. Wonder why…

He should start every plumbing job by saying "It’s never Lupus! "

What I always wonder will these things is.

Where did the money from the earlier games go?

That’s very strange. On the recent earnings call the Muskinator said they were bringing forwards the release of new models.

Must have some genius way to do that without the new models team and a charging infrastructure.

Unless he’s just running round saying one thing and then making stupid decisions 2 minutes later. No past evidence of that though…

Anyone remember when he spent all his time talking about colonising mars? That was his big thing and the future. Whatever happened to that?

Then spacex got government funding. Now AI is the big thing.

I’ve still yet to see any of his great visions he’s actually delivered on.

We have sold 1/5 less cars. So we need 1/5 less workers.

And people were questioning if he was worth his enormous pay packet.

This is sad. The judge should have thrown him a treat once he did sit.

Reward the good behaviour or how else will Trump get house trained?

Hmmm I wonder if all the liability from their other ongoing lawsuits had anything to do with their quick recall this time🤔

I have an ok machine and regularly use it.

I know a guy who works in the industry supplying machines and another who is a commercial roster. Both say similar things.

A good grinder and fresh beans are far more important. They both say the aeropress is an excellent way to brew and better than most cheaper espresso machines.

My advice based on that would be. Keep using the aeropress but if you want an upgrade get a good burr grinder.

That’s if your ultimate aim is making better coffee. If you just want to get better using a machine and have fun just pick one you like the look of and enjoy.

The real answer is it depends how the diver is exerting force as he stands there and what force he has to overcome to jump forwards.

If he’s using all his driving force through his legs just to stand there then when he jumps up he will go backwards.

If he was casually standing there easily overcoming the push of the air already then he can jump into the pool just as normal.

It’s the same as standing next to a swimming pool with different wind speeds. Small breeze = jump in ok. Hurricane = blown backwards.

That’s assuming he wasn’t trying to jump off the back of the vehicle…

The quote. “Resentment is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die”

It’s like you’re doubling down on what happened. Either they didn’t know/care it hurt at the time or wanted to hurt you but now you’re using your energy to extend the hurt.

When you start getting angry about it acknowledge it but then do something positive for yourself.

Yes but that might not matter. It may only be sticking because the fibers are wrapped tight around the plastic part and the screw creating a lock through that tension. Cut through all the fibers wrapping round the screw and plastic part half way across. So there are fibers running in the gap and out both sides. Then start pulling at them with pliers. Some should come out. They must be able to move within that join or it would have jammed up as soon as the fibers started to enter. Rather than wrapping them round and round and then stopping.

Also unless you know exactly which plastic that ring is made from don’t try chemicals on it. As you’ve no idea of the damage it might do to it.
