I already got it before your post, thank you. It is attention farming marketing.

Those pattern prints usually look much shottier in teal life than on the slop images. Even though in this concrete example it is not that much off. Already the image looks terribly cheap, independently if the motive.

Temu textiles have shown time and again that they are disposable quality.

Austrian here, we got rid off our monarchy (ok, the Entente helped a bit in blowing up our/their empire ...) Sort of, we still give them pseudo state funerals when they die. It is also great fun, people from all the realms are joining, dressing up with flags and all, enjoying a good funeral and than bits and pieces (heart and whatever) are sent to various places across the realms, as is tradition. The UK, and soon the US, should try it some time. After the funeral, everyone goes home again, including the Austrian President and do their Republic thing until the next funeral.

The answer is more boring. Chinese optimise their AI slop for engagement. Just like clickbait of other kind this is there to make people share about it. This thread shows the success of that strategy. Needless to say that any physical product shipped will have little to do with the ad.

The stand? Probably not. The hinges? If you actually use your custom shelf it is either of similar durability as the hinge or you'll have to replace the hinges. Low quality hinges have a tendency to break apart fairly qickly. Cheap cast iron has terrible durability.

Having to calculate your final price of your meal, is a hidden price. A transparent price is when you pay concrete prices for concrete services, without any x% surcharge on everything. Maybe you like it that way, but exactly that should be illegal in the EU because it serves no purpose other than making prices appear smaller than they are by having a smaller number there that is not the full price.

Salzburg is probably the worst city in terms of transit and is still perfectly serciceable. It's keadership is still pretty car focused though - and it shows. There is talk about some rail option rosskng the centre bit nothing is ever really getting built because ... think about car traffic which must not loose any capacity ...

Lower Austria outside of the main corridors and the Vienna metropolitan area has a rsther poor track record as well. They closed down a lot of the smaller branch lines. To be fair however at the same time bus/rail integration has improved considerably. Most villages have somewhat usable rush hour service and a lot of places have at least one bus per hour with synched train connection.

They don't consider themselves European however and haven't really when the settled there either. So they might be colonists from Europe/the US but they are not European colonists. Yes, European colonial powers sold land that wasn't theirs for that but that doesn't change that point. Zionists don't see themselves as Europeans. If they were inspired by European colonialism? Not saying they weren't.

This isn't about motivation. Israel is simply not a European colony, which European capital exploits and controls it after all?

It is not just prioritising car commuters from outside vs locals, it is simply an extremely wasteful use of limited traffic capacity. The bus, not clogged down in traffic, has a way higher capacity than probably even two full car lanes at the highest performance. A bus lane is the only rational thing there. If that makes the highway off ramp redundant because there is no capacity for cars left to justify it, simply tear it down. It is fake capacity anyway if the traffic cannot be supported further down the road and it would even benefit car drivers, as it would remove a clogging point and free up capacity on the highway.
