Tesla has manufacturing quality problems. I’d rather a Japanese or Korean EV.

I lived in Strasbourg during the 2018 Christmas terrorist attack. French gendarmerie kicked ass. Europe needs a standing army. Go build one.

Ahahahahahahaha!

But they’re cheap. And while you may get open heart surgery or a leg amputated to resolve your appendicitis, at least you got care. By a bot. That doesn’t even know it exists, much less you.

Thank Elon for unnecessary health care you still can’t afford!

Most people couldn’t afford that. But everyone had a living room and people would come over. Everyone had a grill and people would come over. Most people had kids and kids would come over.

Life was much more real life social.

Can confirm: There’s a lot of money in machine room planning, setup, and building-out right now. If you have experience with electrical, cooling (water or forced air), cabling, and rackmount machine installation and sysadmin stuff, you’ll make good money.

Also: When this shit crashes (and it will), used memory and GPUs will flood the market for cheap. Then it’ll be time to buy. Lol

If you want to do work with the GPU you’re still buying NVIDIA. Particularly 3D animation, video/film editing, and creative tools. Even FOSS tools like GIMP and Krita prefer NVIDIA for GPU accelerated functions.

Substack is a very useful platform. Both in that you get all the email addresses of your subscriber base, so they don’t lock you in there, and the monetization they have set up.

The fediverse should target it to replicate much or all of its functionality. It is MORE than a mere blog. It has a big ecosystem one blog can’t replicate alone. The payment system would be particularly difficult to copy well.

WHAT DOESN’T KILL YOU ONLY MAKES YOU STRONGER

YOU FIRST

The 13th Amendment allows for forced labor in prisons. This is how Trump and the GOP will reinstitute slavery in the USA.

Would you like a buggy whip with your gas guzzler, Sir?

Steele’s work is excellent. I read the dossier he produced on Trump and it was highly accurate. It also specified when sourcing was not confirmed, such as the claim Trump had had prostitutes urinate on a Moscow hotel bed the Obamas had once slept in (what is colloquially called the pee tape). But his prediction ROSNEFT would split off 20% and sell this to an intermediary buyer for Trump and the Republicans actually did happen. And that was the real meat of his report.

It’s a flat. I honestly don’t know.

Christopher Steele says Epstein was working for a Russian compromat operation.

I voted for her in 24 and I was glad to. I’m sorry she lost. But I don’t think it’s wise she run for President again in 28. Governor of California? Great. Let California decide. But the stakes are too high for the Presidency.

David Graeber’s The Dawn of Everything describes indigenous native Americans forming police units during large tribal gatherings prior to European settlement.

We have in floor heating and I love it.

Policing is a necessary function of civil society. We need good cops and good law enforcement policy. ICE is not that.

I hate to break it to you, but those are just actors in suits. That isn’t even the real Godzilla!
