For me it would help if there would be an option for me to see the at least the reason why the call is being made and also an estimated time of the call.
There is: the person calling can first send a short text asking if they can call you to talk about ________.
there was a pretty serious resurgence of it around waitforit the turn of the millennia back in 1999/2000
I know a lot of people have that perception, but it doesn't necessarily make it true. Do you know of any studies that have looked into this?
That how I interpreted it too, but has there really been that much of an increase? The Wikipedia articles they linked doesn't mention any increase at the turn of the century.
Snow Crash, anyone?
According to Wikipedia, Millenarianism has been around for a long time, and it sounds like the Christian "rapture" is a good example. Your post seems to imply it's a recent thing (ie. 21st century), but maybe I'm misinterpreting what you're trying to say?
I'm not sure I fully understood, but it sounds like you have several concerns with their competition? And those concerns are around asking people to design things that are potentially unsafe, giving bad advice for selecting materials, and awarding prize money to submissions by Prusa employees?
They are fundamentally different types of vehicles. But putting that aside, if you want to compare the largest payload that each vehicle can transport you wouldn't just use the pickup truck's GVWR, you would also include it's towing capacity. There's a reason 90% of the time people use a pickup to haul something, they're towing.
This is why we can directly compare the two vehicles payload capacity.
No, comparing a zeppelin with a pickup will never be a direct comparison.
You're comparing a pickup truck to a zeppelin, there's no way to make that apples to apples. If someone needs to move something big with a truck they're probably going to tow it, not try to load it into the bed.
They only need 2 kids for just the tickets alone to be $800/day. That's not including hotel, transportation, food, etc. It's easy to see how 7 days could cost them $7000.
Because of their smaller and the switch to helium Zeppelin NTs has a miniscule payload capacity at 4200 pounds. To put that into perspective that's the same payload capacity as a Ford F250.
And that's only the bed capacity. An F250 can tow over 20,000 lbs depending on the trailer design. Most trucks and SUVs can tow >4200lbs.
Of course, advertisers don't need to run positive or moral ads, though.
Of course not, they're the customers so they're always right. And the "product" is tightly regulated.
Your entire post is calling out Samsung, but don't smart TV manufacturers show ads?
Can you recommend a manufacturer who doesn't display ads? It doesn't help to single out one company if they're all doing it.
Are you referring to this, or something else?
Pretty arrogant to assume they're different companies when you don't even know what stores I'm talking about...
Here's an example of a grocery chain/pharmacy company: https://www.kroger.com/health/pharmacy
They even have gas stations. Costco is another example, but they do a lot more than groceries (automotive work, etc). Not sure why you think one store can't offer multiple services?
Several categories like incitement, false advertising and CSAM should not be acceptable "speech".
In those examples it's not the speech that's illegal, there's a real crime that the speech is part of. False advertising is a form of fraud, but if there's no fraud involved (satire, humor, education, etc) it's legal.
I brought up OTC drugs to help make my point that the pharmacy and grocery store are the same.
If freedom of speech only applies to "acceptable" speech, then it isn't really freedom of speech.
