Ford sold 200,000 pickup trucks in Q1 2024 while Toyota sold 50,000 so those links alone do not tell the whole story. Those recalls are relatively small compared to Ford's market.

Also, Fords are typically easier and cheaper to buy and there are more service centers for them. This is also related to them being the most popular fleet vehicle. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have a Toyota, but there's a reason why you pay more for the "Toyota tax".

Flights in May between New York and Los Angeles will cost $6,000 per dog and human pair, and $8,000 for flights between New York and London for each pooch and parent couple.

Yeah I think they misread that part. Cannabis was moved to schedule 3 which, for example, contains ketamine.

If I can't masturbate to every character in every game, then what's the point of gaming?

No, that is a common misconception. Most (~85%) companies in China are completely private and just pay taxes. Most of the super large companies (like fortune 500) are partially or completely state owned though. They have embraced aspects of capitalism the last decade, but with checks to ensure that huge corporations don't control society like in the US.

No problem! When I was picking out which search engines or "plugins" to install, I visited most of the sites on the list and chose the ones I had heard of plus some other ones that looked like they were for English content. Some of the sites were clearly for other languages or for niches like anime, so just pick out whichever ones are relevant to your interests and then you'll be able to search all of their databases instantly without dealing with their terrible websites and just get the magnet link.

Have you tried using the search engine built into qBittorent? For example, here is what it looks like when searching for Paw Patrol S01:

Check out TrackerControl on the F-Droid app store. It lets you block Internet access to individual apps and selectively block trackers and other analytics. It does this by acting as a VPN in the android OS so it won't work while on another VPN but that's good enough for my needs.

It is ironic that Chinese-made opioids are a problem in other countries. China tried to ban opium multiple times, but Britain fought multiple wars with them over their right to sell Opium in China, which was Britain's single most profitable trade at the time.

The British killed civilians and took over Hong Kong so they could control the most important harbor and increase opium imports. This created massive drug trade and eventually domestic opium production.
