How's this: without Kody, it's 1995 and you've got all your files on your Windows in Microsoft word. You don't want to switch to Mac because transferring all that stuff is too hard. Kody is like Google docs here. You don't have to bother transferring anything. It just works. Google Related

Kody can do many things. Have to niche down to catch people's attention. I've decided on: making it easy to use more than one and move between them seamlessly (something big labs aren't incentivized to do). But what of I change it up and talk about how it's better than skills? Related

Britain should be a country that makes things. It's how we create good jobs, give more opportunities to young people, and build pride in our communities. That's why today’s announcement from McLaren matters. They’re backing Britain, keeping design, engineering and manufacturing here at home - with plans to build their engines in-house for the first time. Their £500m investment will drive growth far beyond their factory gates, creating a thousand jobs, supporting thousands more in the supply chain, and providing apprenticeships to young people. This is what reindustrialising Britain looks like. Related

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
Got it
