I don't know what that graph is using as small, but the Fiat 500e has been sold here for quite some time. There is an electric Mini, an electric Focus, and the Bolt EUV is pretty small. SUV is sort of meaningless to define size alone when it encompasses things from the Bolt EUV and Model Y to a Cadillac Lyriq. Smaller ones usually classified as crossovers/CUVs.

I too don't know what this means. After much searching I believe this could be a reference to the whirling dervishes of Sufism. More likely than dowsing in my opinion.

Good linking. The book says it's for a quarter acre, not a tenth. This was on reddit the other day (and it's credited as such). Exact same wording and everything.

Where I was going was: effects can be different even if all choices and results are unethical. If one cares about the possible impacts of ones actions, consideration beyond "well it's all unethical, so whatever" could be warranted.

are all unethical choices equal? Surely there are better and worse things?

Just criticises? Not "slams", "destroys", or eviscerates? Weak. No rage click from me.

It does smack of hypocrisy but I've been feeling more it's a paradox of tolerance thing. Which itself a sort of hypocrisy now that I'm thinking about it. Huh.

If I don't show you a video because I don't think you'd enjoy it, that's different from not showing it to you because I don't want you to see it.

I wouldn't disagree those are different reasons for not wanting to show a video but both are curations based on biases.

I guess I just have a more neutral connotation for bias than "biased against you for others' own interests" and so I didn't find bias to be a useful term here to distinguish the reasons behind curation choices.

Nothing really in disagreement here, just fiddling with common usage.

hey it says "in" not "up". Just gotta lay down or maybe go inverted.
