Won’t be too long until he goes to space in something similar

One event was weird, the other is normal. One group has powerful friends who can sponsor and press for investigations, the other does not.

And so the world turns.

Well, those goods do help support the non-homeless and the health-insured too. Maybe we can have both?

That’s exactly right. But much evaporates or is diffused over such a large area that no one particular piece of land gets a significant amount.

The alternative is landing overweight, risking potential damage or failure to the aircraft’s landing gear, full of human lives, while still full of the explodey stuff.

The other alternative is designing planes to land at heavier weights, resulting in every other flight being less efficient.

Huh, you’re right. I didn’t know about that. From Wikipedia:

The Chinese startup claims to have the miniature device in the pilot testing stage. Unveiled in January 2024, it is allegedly generating 100 microwatts of power and a voltage of 3V and has a lifetime of 50 years without any need for charging or maintenance.

Wonder if it microwaves your balls when it’s in your pocket too.

Either way we can dream of a future where we never have to plug in to charge again.

Soon as we can figure out micro nuclear reactors it may actually work that way!

One could argue that China’s governmental subsidizing of the industry just shows the commitment they have to be a leader and dominant player in the future of transportation worldwide.

Does the American government have such aspirations? Does the American Auto industry have the vision and goal to adapt to a disrupted market?

In my opinion the arguments surrounding this topic come down to which country is going to work harder to play a leading role in the future.

China is making their bet, and the quality of Chinese EVs is increasing extremely rapidly. If they can so easily dominate the American Auto Market that tells us that the Americans have been sleeping at the wheel and need to make some tough choices about spending. We can curtail the onslaught through duties and various taxes and regulations but not indefinitely.

Beacon of reality in this post, not sure why you’re downvoted

Maybe he hopes the friend would then default on the loan, and tell the bank they can’t repo the car because someone else owns it now?

IDK, all stupid because this is why the bank holds the title and has a personal guarantee on the original borrower. His credit will get hosed, the bank will file a lawsuit, and the car will still be repo’ed.

Then this sovcit is welcome to go try to tell a judge why he should get the car back.

I’m not even sure I oppose this timeline

Whatever the guy with the biggest and/or most guns says they are

I for one would be fine going back to the ini files of win 3.1

Airbnb has been in a race to bring the worst of the tech industry’s profit consuming corporatism (no phone number, horrid customer service, lots of rules that nobody follows, privacy nightmares) to an industry that focused on hospitality - by definition a high-touch service - and we are all worse off because of that.

Yeah, it doesn’t matter what he says. He’ll decide later based on the direction the wind is blowing.

Thanks for your patience while I researched the details.

Yes, I’m free for a lunch meeting last Friday. See you then.

I feel like we should at least consider that DJI is a mainland Chinese company and nearly all drone innovation in the past decade has originated there. They are no strangers to extreme manufacturing or advanced automated drone technology.

Hahaha if true it would be some poetic justice, but unfortunately these dweebs are already hanging out there half the time and loving the oligarch lifestyle, so unless that’s taken away they will die happy

Yeah, if they are healthy companies they could snag some market share from one of Google’s products.

Easier to kill them early.

Wish the media would just start to ignore these, but instead they have to be there in case he says something incredibly FUBAR in which case they’ll make a lot of money by sharing the news first.
