What could be the biggest youtube scandal has just dropped. Honey is a browser extension that PayPal paid 4 billion for. They have been ripping off users and content creators for years.

Paypal is such a fuck of a company I hate using them so much... no surprise I guess given Elon was involved in it originally

You guys have to try this native language bot. You basically speak to it and it'll tell you the make up of your native language.

It seems pretty accurate for the people who tried it.

Regular - English, took two paragraphs

Fake Mexican - Dutch, took two paragraphs

Generic Indian accent - Hindi 93% on the first try :lawl:

Nissan and Honda merging

https://apnews.com/article/japan-nis...7a3517a9ba5be5

TOKYO (AP) — Japanese automakers Honda and Nissan have announced plans to work toward a merger, forming the world’s third-largest automaker by sales as the industry undergoes dramatic changes in its transition away from fossil fuels.

Obviously discussion of this has been going on for awhile to have the deal publicly move this quick but I'm still a bit puzzled that it's even happening or that it's considered a merger when one side is basically a zombie/dead body.

It seems like this is more a case of needing scale to fund R&D than anything else as there's not much on the Nissan side worth acquiring - I don't see how acquiring Nissan's body on frame business is worth anything so that leaves some EV expertise and that's it.

This feels like an acquisition more than a merger - I'd be surprised that Nissan is selling anything that isn't just a Honda rebadge in 10 years (their budget brand basically)

I think merger sounds friendlier to investors as opposed to acquisition or hostile takeover. :p

PayPal sided with a scammer who left me stranded at the MGM Signature in Vegas with no room. My kids hot lunch program only accepts cash or PayPal so ya, I’m actually going to a bank and putting cash in an envelope to pay for that shit.

I worked for them for awhile, so I have another layer of hatred that no one here probably has.

bcrdukes 12-23-2024 08:23 AM

Are you at liberty to share said hatred? :D

Ahh the good old PayPal/ eBay working days. I still reminisce those days since I lucked out and worked in some pretty sweet departments.

Hondaracer 12-23-2024 09:03 AM

I couldn’t type fast enough to get through their interview process. Fucking semi-colons

Traum 12-23-2024 09:25 AM

Unsurprisingly, Carlos Ghosn is panning the merger LOL~ I don't blame him though. Afterall from his POV, this was a company and a government that tried to lock him up behind bars for some 15 years.

My layman understanding of EV tech is telling me that to succeed in the field, you need to:

- be good at controlling battery cost
- be good at battery management system
- have a good software / firmware development team
- have a more inhouse / integrated supply chain

Do Honda / Nissan even have these expertise?

Still Creek?

Controversial topic incoming but when would you personally be comfortable buying a $100K+ Car?

Thinking about consolidating my Veloster N + S2000 + Add $$$ for a manual V8 R8 / 911.

Then buy a Honda Acty as my daily since I drive < 6-10,000KM anyways


The only issue is I can afford to instantly fix my Velo N or S2000 blowing up but it would hurt if a $100K car blew up lol
