@carnage4life I recently tried edible straws (the pasta-like kind) in the Philippines and they have much more structural integrity than even a plastic straw and none of the disgusting taste of a paper straw.

@CrackedWindscreen @davidwilkins agreed. That’s a very weird omission.

@silvermoon82 that makes me want to reconsider using any Google product at all!!! And I'm speaking as heavy ChromeOS user here.

@davidwilkins i like it 😄 LWB and camper conversion for those trips to the beach and it would be perfect. I’m happy with the RWD and lower power version, just longer pls 😃

Don't forget that this was an actual headline a few days back. #zoom #homewoking

I'm a proponent of #workingfromhome for health and quality of life reasons. But I find it concerning that not even Zoom believe it is doable.

yeah, I know I excluded Australia and much of Asia. But I didn't have the data in front of me :) please feel free to respond with numbers... I fully suspect that HiLux will dominate Australia too, and Corolla much of Asia.

Best-selling car models vary widely across different regions of the world. In this toot, I will compare the sizes of the following areas: ASEAN, Latin America, Europe, North America, and the world overall.

ASEAN is a regional grouping of 10 countries in Southeast Asia. The best-selling car model in ASEAN in 2021 was the Toyota Hilux. The second best-selling car model was the Isuzu D-Max, another pickup truck. So the ASEAN region loves pickups!

Latin America is a region that includes Mexico, Central America and South America. The best-selling car model in Latin America in 2021 was also the Toyota Hilux. Another pickup-loving part of the world.

Europe is a continent that consists of 44 countries. The best-selling car model in Europe in 2023 was the Tesla Model Y.

North America is a continent that includes Canada, the United States and Mexico. The best-selling car model in North America in 2022 was the Ford F-Series,.

Africa again favours pickups and again the HiLux is the best-selling car.

The world is a planet that has about 200 countries and territories. The best-selling car model in the world in 2022 was the Toyota Corolla, a compact car.

Why is the world average a small car but the most popular in terms of single models almost always a pickup? Because second, third, and fourth places do tend to be dominated by popular small cars around the world. #weirdCarMastodon

@EC64 wow! That looks really cool :D

I watched a few movies on flights recently and the best by far was "Para entrar a vivir". I won't spoil it at all :) but if you like thrillers this is fun.

@9to5google I do like this new naming scheme, I like the idea that anything with a Plus should be good and anything without well... you take the risk, your budget device might not be too good.
