Exactly! This is the focus the media should be talking about right now. This is how he gets his brown shirts. The amount of money thrown at this is insane…people have to realize at some point that it’s a much higher sum of money than anything needed for immigration enforcement.

Not looking forward to finding out why I’ll be even more ashamed next week.

Was it Susan Colin’s or Murkowski that was saying she voted in favor of the bill knowing it was terrible only because she thought the house would fix it? She knew full well the house wouldn’t do shit but approve it. These people are monsters.

I still haven’t owned a car new enough to have the start/stop feature so it’s helpful reading these comments about the experiences with it. One day (after the wheels fall off my car), I’ll keep this in mind while test driving vehicles.

I never had that feature but I just rented a Volvo Hybrid for a week for a road trip and I’m pretty sure it had the feature. Because it’s hybrid, the gas engine turned off but I never really noticed because the electric engine would start you off while the gas engine did its thing. The result was a pretty seamless experience. I couldn’t really tell when the gas engine was off or on in city driving. There may be better options out there as this is the only one I’ve driven but that was super smooth. I heard when it’s gas only that the experience can feel “lurchy”.

Have they finished making America great yet? I’m not sure how much more greatness the nation can handle.

If Cuomo runs as independent, I don’t think he comes close to winning but he definitely splits the vote which could push this Republican. Does the NY Mayoral race also use rank choice? If it does then evething should still be fine.

From what I understand, the US is now an oil producing country due to fracking so we won’t see results like the oil embargo of the 70s, just increases in prices. Increasing the price of oil will increase the profits to Republican donors. I do wonder what the products of the closure will look like.

Sorry to hear this is happening to you. I went through something similar as I graduated with a CS degree in the middle of the dotcom burst. I ended up having to move from NY to AZ (USA) to find a job. It was terrible and I have so much sympathy to anyone going through that now. Wish I had a solution for you, I really do. I sent out crazy amounts of resumes and applications. About the only thing I can think of is to keep applying.

I can’t believe that ~45% are still favorable. Most depressing thing I’ve read in the past 10 minutes

They’re not fresh. The fairy demands the freshest teeth but long ago ancient humans made a pact with the tooth fairy. In exchange for humanity to cease its hunt of the tooth fairy, the TF will stop hunting children in their sleep to pursue the freshest and most desirable teeth. Centuries later, with the advent of capitalism, the humans rebelled and demanded compensation for the teeth to be given to the children. The TF, seeing the advancement of human warfare capacity quickly agreed to a small stipend per child in order to continue its harvesting.

This is chicken soup for the soul.

Damn that made me laugh.

This is exactly what they voted for so I’m sure they’ll start celebrating all of this winning any moment now.

I really think this is just about him wanting to stop pissing off Tesla customers and get people to go back to buying his cars. I don’t believe at all that this break is legit.

They don’t want you to know about the dish gnomes forced to work in tight spaces under terrible conditions.

I like to throw out a random y’all just to throw off scrapers like this. In my mind, they’ll either think I’m in the southern US or just get confused.

It’s probably something like, he couldn’t get one or all of his kids into Harvard. Maybe he wanted to go but couldn’t get in. I’m sure if they accepted Baron, this would all disappear.

That’s the claim from like every AI company and wow do I hope that’s what happens. Maybe I’m just a Luddite with AI. I really hope I’m wrong since it’s here to stay.

Yeah that’s a big part of it…shifting off the stuff that we don’t think is important (and probably isn’t). My view is that it’s escalated to where I’m using my phone calculator for stuff I did in my head in high school (I was a cashier in HS so it was easy)…which is also not a big deal but getting a little bigger than the phone number thing. From there, what if I used it to leverage a new programming API as opposed to using the docs site. Probably not a big deal but bigger than the calculator thing to me. My point is that it’s all these little things that don’t individually matter but together add up to some big changes in the way we think. We are outsourcing our thinking which would be helpful if we used the free capacity for higher level thinking but I’m not sure if we will.
