Wikipedia says they produced over 50,000 of the Volkswagen Kübelwagen for the war effort between 1940-1945.

VW was founded in 1937 and switched to producing military vehicles in 1939 during WW2.

Yes, please!

We need a wider range of vehicle prices on the market. I bet a lot of people would go for barebones models for cheap if they had the option.

Yeah, it’s unfortunately good advice. Hearing it from a hiring manager in a “dance my puppet” way makes me want to vomit though.

I’m trying to book a reservation at the resort, and the only length of time I can select is “indefinite”. That’s weird, right?

Is any other app out there able to handle streaming games to your friends as easily as discord?

It seems like we should probably be looking for the next ship to jump to…

I loved the demo and would also highly recommend the game solely based on that.

I’m just waiting for a free weekend to pick up the game now that it’s out.

A lot of young men are lacking role models and community these days.

More kids are growing up without fathers around now (single parenthood is up from 9% in the 1960s to about 25% today).

Most people’s source of community used to be church, but since the advent of the internet, people are rapidly moving away from organized religion. I think this has disproportionately impacted men, who tend to be less social on average.

And I think in general, a lot of young men feel like nobody cares about their personal struggles.

So, even some toxic dude like Andrew Tate can show up and say “Hey, you’re great. Here are the reasons why things are bad for you and what you should do, and here’s a community of like-minded people to interact with.” and these guys are going to dive in head first.

Yeah, is satire ok here too?

I have another intentionally funny one too. Maybe I’ll drop it somewhere else just in case.

The disrespect!

Invention that will seem obvious after it’s introduced: a phone camera that can film in landscape while being held vertically.

Why don’t we have this??

People turning their phones to film in landscape will probably be one of those things that’ll look silly in old media once this is changed.

I had them! Hurt myself plenty…

Every day??

I’ve seen a lot of people praising Mint in here. It sounds like that’s the distro for me to try first.

I played the demo for this game, and it’s a really creative concept. It feels like one of those tile-laying board games crossed with an indie mystery title.

The puzzles go deeper than you’d think too. By the end of the demo, my wife and I were trading off playing and taking down notes, while our 2 y/o was excitedly shouting out doors for us to go through next. It was a good time.

Schools (both K-12 and university) keep loosening their expectations of students, and now we have kids starting college with 6th grade reading levels.

School administrators don’t want their graduation stats to look bad, and universities don’t want to lose $$ by flunking students out, so there’s a massive conflict of interest that is ultimately resulting in a disservice to students and society at large.

The other day, I saw this 8th grade graduation exam from a county in Kentucky in 1912, and it drives home how much things have changed:
