“I constantly came” is the funny bit ;)

that’s the important caveat:

it does NOT work on everyone, but that’s irrelevant.

if it works on even 1% of people, but has zero effect on everyone else, companies would still use it everywhere anyways.

a 1% difference over even just a couple thousand customers adds up over time.

so, no, it doesn’t work on everyone, and it doesn’t have to.

it just has to work on some people, and not deter any more people than it works on.

if anyone wonders when it does and does not work: like most of these psych-tricks the effect mostly disappears when you point it out to people or otherwise make them actively think about what they’re buying.

same for the change-the-layout-of-the-store-all-the-time thing: doesn’t work on all people, doesn’t have to.

this is exactly, and i cannot stress enough just how exactly, the plot of “Don’t look up”

probably radiation:

that kind of impact is gonna tear apart a lot of atoms and the energies involved would create high temperature plasma; basically a very big fusion bomb…

does “novyi svit” translate to “new world”?

eh…given the distance and the weird orbits it’s gonna take for the debris to actually hit…a few days probably?

couple of days for the bombardment to hit the surface, and then it’s a game of statistics how long it takes for a direct hit or secondary ejecta to hit your landing site/base.

probably a better idea to take all the fun pills all at once than to wait for that…

actually, you can probably simulate this rather well in universe sandbox! ;)

austria is gonna burn before we give up falco, lol

i absolutely love it when it’s paired with manual transmission and an auto-break function:

when you stop, for example at a red light, and press the break while standing still for a bit, it goes into auto-break mode.

when you then release the clutch while in gear (neutral gets ignored), it automatically releases the hand break, so you can perform a hand break assisted start from standstill without having to touch the actual hand break!

this is excellent when you’ve stopped at an incline, and generally really useful!

but i get the skepticism…i was extremely skeptical at first too, but you get used to it quickly and then it feels weird when it’s missing or turned off in another car… there’s just no reason not to use this feature it’s simply great!

I’ve seen waaay more manual handles break than electric windows…but that might be somewhat biased by the sheer age of most of the cars with manual windows…still, rarely ever even heard of an electric one breaking…is that common where you live?
