I have no idea what they’re worried about. Democracy in the US has been perfected twice, Mencken style.

It’s so neat to have a problem that combines poor numeracy with not being able to see two steps ahead. Yeah, if could somehow grow the Venn diagram of people with those two skills that would be great.


This is probably the single most important thing we plebs can do.


Article leaves out tires and tire wear pollution which is significant and bad stuff. It’s also worse in heavier vehicles. Yes, EVs, especially if CATL can get their sodium battery line off the ground, are better overall, but let’s not oversimplify. Also, the most environmental car is still a car…


We went from zero cars to everything covered in cars in a lifetime, we can go back in a lifetime.


There are no good guys in this war.
I am 14 and this is deep
Before I go all in with you, I have to know- is this an illegal company where crabs are the product or where crabs are running things?


I like the part where reviewers have a scale then use less than half that scale. Like 5 star movie reviews where half of films are 4 star or higher and 99% are 3 star or higher. Maybe if a movie has an incoherent story, is obnoxious AND offensive, and sounds like it was filmed in a well then it’ll be 2.5 stars. To get 2 stars it has to be something that doesn’t even qualify as a movie and thus won’t get ranked.
Then everyone clapped. Those lousy poors, not understanding the value of expensive footwear. So undignified.
Sadly, no. It probably will actually cost around $1B to drive screwworms back to the Darien Gap again and that’s assuming the people in charge are planning that (they’re probably not- why help poor countries?!) and capable of following a plan that already worked once (they’re not). This number will balloon out of control and their nonsense plan to hold the line at Texas will be a disaster IF it ever even comes online as it’s planned for late 2027. A preview of the planning genius.
That success is part of what caused the problem. Complacency set in, and capacity eroded.
This part is sort of glossed over. There was a report in 2018 that the Panama facility was in dire need of updates. We were talking about a one time $50M investment and an extra $10-15M a year to hold screwworms at the Darien Gap as they had been for decades. Trump did nothing. It’s easy to blame COVID, but there is a very, very avoidable problem and yes, the blame lies squarely with Trump.


Didn’t fElon already try buying his way to an AI company then ruined it by being who he is? [searching] Yeah, he bought talent to put together the stupidly named “xAI” to make the offensively wrong did-you-even-read-the-book “Grok” which after three short years is so bad it’s not even on most LLM performance charts. Who knows, maybe fElon’s pedo pal in the WH will take out Anthropic, Google will give up for no reason, and the Chinese will also give up for no reason. Then everyone on Earth will spend more money than they have on Grok. $22,000,000,000,000 in revenue, EZ PZ!


That’s a quality headline rewrite.


I always feel bad for just a moment when I order a pizza because you know on some level the delivery guy is hoping this delivery will be the one. Sexy lady in a corset or maybe naked, maybe more than one lady! Sigh, just a big straight guy- at least he was polite and tipped well.
In Kasparov’s eventual defense, he did say this after losing to Polgar:
“I was wrong about women playing chess. I gave an opinion a long time ago that I no longer believe.”
and later in his book wrote:
‘I won’t hide from the fact that I did make regrettably sexist remarks about women in chess around this time. In that 1989 Playboy interview I said men were better at chess because “women are weaker fighters” and that “probably the answer is in the genes”. The possibility of gender brain differences aside, I find it almost hard to believe I said this considering that my mother is the toughest fighter I know.’
Wait until you learn about “generations”.


You never know when you might need them.
Have you considered going meta and hoarding games you might play about hoarding consumables in perpetuity?


If there was an easy solution to the cartels someone would have done it already. Take obtainable wins.
Oh no, he was slammed??! Was he also owned, sent a message, taken to task, and other things that mean someone said something that he ignored and went right back to what he was doing?
tldr; I’m so tired of these Wrestlemania headlines of completely consequence free replies to people being terrible. Wake us when any bad person experiences anything approaching accountability.
