This is an administration that is trying to keep a convicted felon child rapist suffering from dementia in the presidency, who let the richest man on earth walk right into the White House and gang-rape every department he could get his hands on. There is no competency left in this rotting carcass that was such a powerful country.

Besides, all he cares about is wining and dining his billionaire buddies. He's doing nothing about record high ATM fees. Why would he give a damn about Pharma Advertising? I'm sure they've been also sending him and his campaign tons of money.

Now release the Epstein files.

"Hey! Look over there!"

Works every time.

msmash probably asked Google Gemini, "Has Slashdot posted this story yet?", and it hallucinated the wrong answer.

Here's to hoping that this success inspires other lawsuits to follow. I'm so sick and tired of these damned settlements; every one of them carries the line "Plaintiff alleges ... as redress for these grievances, defendant will..." meaning that no one is found guilty of wrongdoing, and it can't be used to determine guilt in any other court proceeding.

Fuck our corporate overlords.

The $7500 tax credit implies a discount in the ballpark of 15% on a vehicle but expires at the end of the month. I'd expect that this is bringing forward a lot of sales that would happen for the rest of the year to take advantage before it goes away.

To be a real sense of the trend of sales, you'd have to average the before-tax-expiration and after-tax-expiration months to see what's up. Otherwise you're just measuring noise.

Man, I miss the old Slashdot culture.

Trump's said he was going to ban TikTok in 2020. Then in January 2025. Then in March 2025.

Until something actually happens, I'll just keep calling our commander-in-chief a TACO.

I have a long-haul flight booked on a 787 coming up in two months. I'd like to get some definitive answers.

Me too...in three. And I'm not worried one bit. Do you know why?

Because there's over a thousand of them being used by airlines every year, and hundreds flying above your head as you read this. And there's not a single report of any of them having engines that flame out.

Furthermore, I've not seen any reports today of anyone dying in a commercial airplane crash. Meanwhile, about 3,260 people die every day around the world in road vehicle accidents. If you're not afraid to get behind the wheel, stop all the fear mongering with commercial aircraft.

When American companies finance their own "utopia" cities, I can't help but be reminded that the ruling class loves to design and build their own cities to protect their power and interests.

What can I say, other than let us welcome our new plutocrat overlords.

In the case of (2), the RAT would have deployed at the (hypothetical) point where both engine RPMs fell below the minimum required to power the critical electrical systems.

The RAT being deployed doesn't support or exclude fuel contamination as a root cause.

And I was hoping to rip the disk to MP3. Darn it, Universal!

One good anachronistic music format deserves another, I always say!

It walked me through replacing a starter on an old freezer step by step. I know a decent amount, but it was extremely helpful at connecting some of the dots and explaining some of the topics.

I've been using a Brother B&W laser now for eleven years. Cost me $109. Replaced the toner twice. About 5k on the page counter. Still works. No issues. Glad I got rid of my inkjet...spent as much in three years on ink on that thing as I did in toner on my Brother over eleven years.

The movie was The 6th Day. I'm shocked that nobody else referenced this movie in all the comments.
