Sold. Not just gave away. Sold and Jared is keeping the $2B safe.

$10? Where? They’re $4.79 here by me in Chicago.

Russians took over the mod positions way back. That was enough to ensure the narrative is maintained.

Kissenger finally dying was close. Probably be similar for me when Cheney, Gingrich and McConnell go too.

My favorite are the couple openly trans people who consistently simp for regimes that would gladly disappear them.

Without once mentioning Iran either which is certainly a deliberate choice considering the subject.

Lots of people are incredibly stupid. Many of those stupid people are also selfish and mean. It will always be easy to appeal to those people by blaming all their problems on others. Until science figures out a way to force on the empathy parts of our brains, we’ll go through these cycles of stupid people cheering on fascism.

I’ve got big hands. Phones are great the size they’re at now.

Good to hear. The trailers have looked awful. Nearly as bad as some of the DC movies.

Good gets lazy. It has too much hope in others also being good.

Same reason I think carbon capture is worth looking into. It should not be a primary solution. I know some fossil fuel groups are behind it today. But in the not too distant future we are going to have excess green energy. Capturing carbon is worth seeing if we can scale to the point of being one of our tools. People are quick to scoff at the idea. Much like I’ve seen with hydrogen. But I’d rather try many options to reverse change that might not be perfect. Instead of hoping we transition power sources and that alone was enough.

Except that only started on luxury brands. And the Japanese brands have struggled with it the most.

Hondas were still well known for rusting out too quickly into the early 2000s. They even had recalls on 2007-2011 CR-V.

Toyota in 2016 settled a class action suit for multiple models from 2004-2008. And that was on top of a different recall for rusting that spanned 1995-2003 models.

Nissans still tend to have the transmission blow up before the car can rust out. But did have their own rust issues.

Basically, Japan doesn’t use road salt. And their engineers had much less experience dealing with it. But the issue has persisted way longer than it should have taken them to solve for.

Older cars for sure did rust faster because the manufacturers didn’t adopt galvanizing until the late 80’s. Then in the 90’s various other spray coatings and sealers became common. Aluminum is also now prevalent to save weight.

Old cars in the south and southwest didn’t have road salt accelerating the oxidation. But if they were brought up north they caught up quickly. Cars in the north prior to galvanizing would be rotted out in 100k miles easily.

Smartphones also really fucked things up. At least before that you had to kinda know how to use a computer to get online.

And technically he took on a bunch of loans and IOUs with people like the Saudis to make that happen. So I’m sure he’s a bit concerned about liquidity and paying those people back.

Old TV shows made separate beds a thing for appeals to protestant morality. Prior to that separate beds was a rich people thing. Communal sleeping had been the long standing norm. Commoners didn’t have the space/money typical for multiple beds or even multiple sleeping quarters to make separate sleeping possible. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240111-sleep-the-lost-ancient-practise-of-sharing-a-bed

Airbus has a ton of new planes grounded due to engine failures since before the door blowout. But you won’t hear about it because shitting on Boeing is what got clicks instead.

Fuck off Mitt.

They really are and they’re not prohibitively expensive either. Use mine all the time.
