Every time this comes up I’m gonna say it, yes there are a lot of stupids. But it takes less than half the US to elect that asshole, and indeed less than half of Americans voted for him.
But more than half we’re stupid enough to let that happen.
It’s actually really hard to get a billion dollars directly from the lottery.
You pay like 60% (or more maybe?) taxes if you take it as a lump sum. And still lots of taxes if you annuitize it, and then it will take too long to be a billionaire unless you win it in your 20s maybe.
All (East) Texas ever does is give them payouts for asinine and obvious patents.
Even though it gives us cancer! ( The sun not the panels).
It’s more like religious fervor, but later there is definitely sunk cost, or paradigm-shift lock-in.
Interrupting the peaceful transition of power should have been the Day 1 job of the justice department. Not the second year job of Jack Smith.
Trade NorCal for New England and it’s a deal.
Tahini? Or garlic Sauce maybe?
I wonder if even one chair has been overturned.
I’m pretty sure that’s not how refrigerant (not coolant) works.
Extra insulation around the expansion valve and piping may be necessary. Or possibly heating around them. But the main limits are the size and speeds of the compressor and fan(s).
Home heat pumps are getting much better in colder climates. But I’m not sure of the efficiency in vehicle sized units. I’m really interested in them for a camper project I’d like to build though. But might have to wait for more of the cars that feature them to arrive in salvage yards.
The heat pumps also preheat the battery so it can charge in extreme cold.
Could be taken as a riff on “all lives matter”, the racists’ retort to Black Lives Matter. But then you’d need to have tiki torches and klansmen being run over.
It’s like with all the other terrible ideas that we wrote about in sci-fi. The jokes about a general ai finding the internet and then deciding to nuke us all have been around for decades.
Then they fucking trained the llms on that very data.
We will deserve our fate. At least the assholes on the web who trained that shit will.
Ok, some of those must be around county sized for the US.
Many of states of the United States (especially outside the 13 colonies) are bigger than most of Europe’s countries. Which is really a better comparison to memorizing the states.
Nope, but I think there may be Bavaria, Westfalia, Saxony? Can’t think of any others at the moment but I assume there are a couple more.
It’s a bit trickier, since Germany was still divided when I was in grade school.
Hey someone else who likes Justice and They Might Be Giants!
Missed that they had a new album, thanks!
Just curious, would a chute have worked below 900 feet? I wonder at what altitude they would have realized they couldn’t save it.
But we’re really a used car salesman trying to get you to finance a clapped out Nissan Altima with 128k miles, failing clear coat, and a dented bumper.
I’m gonna get shot for this, but Safari has tab groups and they’re fucking awesome especially if your have an iPhone, mac, and iPad or more.
Yeah, for cooking into shoe leather and slathering in catsup before spending the next few hours on the shitter tweeting nonsense words until you manage a single bunny style bowel movement.
