Someone at my work was spelling it avocade recently

It’s the Anglo Saxon. Us Brits are the same.

Would the URLcheck app on android filter this out, or not because of the way it’s being done?

I got banned from the latter because of their stupid absolutely no politics rule. Lots of questions can’t be answered without it being down to politics.

No one is forcing you do use apps outside of the app store. It’s about choice.

If such a competitor emerged they’d not be able to trade in the EU, given the size of the EU economy that ain’t happening.

Hopefully it’ll hit the point where retirement funds divest. Once that happens Tesla will go into proper free fall.

Hell, hopefully retirement funds (maybe not yanks ones but at least those from other countries) will start to divest out of American markets entirely as they become more volatile as your flip flop president changes his addled mind every half an hour.

Luxury car prices budget car build quality.

Banned implies it was legal then something changed. It was never legal because so very many different parts of it fall outside of safety standards.

The one that was seized was an illegal import

Yeah that does actually sound pretty decent.

What do people use Facebook for these days? (I deleted my account about 10 years ago so I’m not sure what it’s for now)

No that decision is, for most people, made for them. You use the server provided for you by your ISP/work/university or the one that’s associated with logging into your smartphone.

I think vegan did. Not sure if thats on .world though

You are young and life is long

And there is time to kill today

And then one day you find

Ten years have got behind you

No one told you when to run

You missed the starting gun

Just Skutters at the moment really

Can you link your WhatsApp account to these though? I’m not going around trying to persuade everyone to get off WhatsApp. I’d be better off just using RCS.

For image quality, unless it’s in particularly low light and in that low light you’re shooting something fast moving so can’t take advantage of the IBIS that the Olympus cameras have to have a longer exposure, I doubt you’ll see any difference.

The R50 looks to have a better autofocus system. By every other metric it’s extremely similar. So if you’re going to be taking lots of photos of fast moving objects, like sports I’d say the R50 would be the way to go.

If you intend to buy new then the R50 would also be the way to go, as the most recent version of the e-m5 (now o-m5) would be way out of your budget and there’s not been a new e-m10 in sometime. However you’ll get a lot more camera by going secondhand however. Somewhere like mpb.com if you’re concerned about buying peer to peer.

Don’t really know much about canon RF lenses. I know there’s not nearly as big a range of options.

I’ve tried doing a comparison purely for size (i have no clue if the canon would be in budget with these lenses) with as closely equivalent focal length

The shorter focal length https://camerasize.com/compact/#633.92,904.948,ha,t

The longer (couldn’t find a native RF mount lens so it’s an EF with an adapter) https://camerasize.com/compact/#633.95,904.232.5,ha,t

Meta owns WhatsApp.

I’d look at something like an e-m10 or e-m5 (whichever version gives you enough money over to get lenses) for lenses a 14-42mm and a 40-150mm would give a really good focal range (there’ll be several different options for both of these lenses so get the ones that have the best reviews in budget)

The reason I recommend these cameras is the size and weight of the body and lens combination will be less than a lot of others. So as you’re going hiking with them it’s something that needs to be thought about.

Yes china has a lot of coal power. They also have a really fucking lot of solar. They are also currently in the process of installing twice as much as the whole rest of the world combined. The huge amount of renewables they’ve installed has lead to some analysis pointing to the potential that they have now reached peak CO2 output.

Whether the motivation is energy security, reducing costs or green policy it doesn’t matter. At the end of the day the results are the same.
