          ~99% of horses are 1 horsepower, there’s just one horse from Nevada who was locked in a barn during those nuclear tests in the 50’s putting the others to shame.

        in some European countries we have a special kind of horsepower that’s called the “tax horsepower” (cheval fiscal, symbol CV in France), or “what kind of eldritch formula do we need to transform that unit into a vehicle classification tool for tax purposes”.

        We’ve had several formulas, and the current one has come around to being kind of an actual (rounded) power unit. Previous ones involved carbon dioxide levels, gearbox efficiency and whether you’re using gasoline or diesel.

        So if I am applying one of those, I believe a horse has exactly NaN CV.

            I find nothing wrong with stealing features from Reddit. Lemmy is a link aggregator, like Reddit.

            Shadow banning shouldn’t be used on humans who are annoying but would for spammers.

            Unhelpful bots should be shadow banned if they keep evading bans

              I believe that bots already are sucked into honeypots, though mostly in an instance-dependent manner (and once one gets created on one instance, it can then propagate its content out to all).

              This particular user still shows up because they are an annoying human.

          well 23k usd is ~17k gbp.

          and cheapest corolla i can find (new, but 2025 model) is ~20350 gbp (~27300 usd), 2026 models start about 4300 gbp/5700 usd higher.

          not sure what your taxes+fees are, but it suddenly doesn’t look as such big difference. not sure if what you listed is cheapest that is available on a market there, i am sure you americans generally like bigger cars, but what i chose are really the cheapest (and therefor smallest) available cars on the local market.

    They bought more of an amalgam, or a chimera, which is a different kind of mythological beast, but also a general term for part of one thing joined to a very different other thing.
