Three wheeled vehicles are bad. Even if they make good the vehicle will be crap. It will also be a deathtrap on US roads with a bunch of completely incompetent idiots driving three ton trucks and SUVs.
Yeah, apparently lying works better when it's a chatbot doing it, than when it's a scripted TV commercial doing it.
Um, lying always works, it's what makes sociopaths successful. What you're seeing is that a dialog is more influential than a prerecorded message.
It isnâ(TM)t just New Jersey. Most states - 44 out of 50 - hold some state and local elections off the federal cycle.
That's from your own link bud.
Frankly, it's pretty fucking weird to try making an equivalence between both sides not doing more to encourage voting in local elections and one side engaging in voter suppression in general elections because voters don't like them.
You just know that some dufus at the gym would bring a 10kg steel dumbbell into the MRI room and ruin things for everyone.
No.. this would have to be a locked restricted room where only MRI techs and their clients may access.
However; the equipment is A. Very expensive. Your Gymn is not likely to buy it.
B. Due to the expense.. It is likely that your nearest local Hospitals will guarantee you are not able to obtain the necessary permits in order to protect their monopoly. They've got a huge investment to protect, And they actually have to successfully sell MRIs at those rates to make the return on that investment. Can't have some random additional facility installing one nearby. Guaranteed it would be blocked by the government due to the availability of another provider's location and the lack of public necessity for yours.
lol projection
Remember that a person who moves from a liberal city to a conservative town will invariably become more conservative in their opinions
What's a "conservative" town? The northeast has plenty of rural towns that are not conservative. Oh right, you mean the ones with no purple hair weirdos
People that move to those towns already had a fuck you I got mine mindset before they went there with the retirement money they made somewhere else.
Not sure. Just when you think you've found it the line slants up again. But humans have limits and Donald Trump is old. His hey day seems to have been in the 80s and 90s. Now he's slowed down and is taking more naps, plus a bunch of his old friends have died or gone to live in group housing. I suppose you could argue that he's taking dirty old man to new heights in his mind.
You contradict yourself. A product that isn't easy to use or setup in one or two clicks fails in the market. Hence cloud.
Ah, you have a personal definition of "necessity." I'm sure what follows is going to be good.
Enshitification and dumbing down of everything is done because quite frankly most people are frigging useless when it comes to technology.
the more rope you gave idiots
Most products are unfortunately designed for the commoner, not the techie in mind.
Etc.
I always find it quite ironic when "the techies" on here complain about how it's impossible to change the battery in a phone and bitch about problems that can be solved with an ESP32 and a bit of solder (like the one in this story). Guess there are multiple levels of "frigging useless when it comes to technology."
VPNs are pretty hard when you don't know the name or address to connect to.
This time seems to be post-Discovery acquisition pain, and they're going to be selling off a bunch of stuff before they let Netflix acquire the rest. I wouldn't be surprised if it happens to a few more media companies too. They've all been spending money like mad to try and buy streaming customers and also make something they want to watch.
Bullshit. Selling property is selling property. You seem to be distracted by the idea that a corporation is anything other than a group of co-owners. I'm not saying sometimes rights need to be restricted for the common good. They always do. But come out and say it, don't weasel around it with but but corp....
For all their "losses" they were also able to pay down their debt in 2024 with $4.4B in cash flow
WB lost more than $11 billion in 2024, although their debt did go down from $70 billion to a mere $46 billion.
That's why everything is so damned expensive, Christ. Going around breaking half the windows or disappearing half the window makers is the same thing, a drag on the economy. Well, one is morally worse than the other. For fucks sake, it'd be better if you stuck to breaking windows. Either way, who's paying for it?
Still worried about trannies, then?
Not worried about transvestites at all. You're displaying the knee jerk reaction to any criticism, anything not full support, as if trans people are perfect, and can never be criticized. Sorry homie - ain't no one above criticism.
At this point, I know a few, mostly through interactions in stores. I'm pleasant, even chatted with them. In a world where there are a fir number pf people who do have a problem with them, they appreciate a person who treats them as human. I'll note more than half of them stopped. Some just figured that as a gay person, they didn't need to "play dress-up" others decided a more traditional approach was the way.
No, mon ami, if you paid attention, it is not the transgender people I have issue with so much. They are just people, with all the pluses and minuses that individuals have. My issue is with the doctors who enjoy experimenting on them, who seem to be in a hurry to get really invasive with them, and were working the age down at which they start amputating primary and secondary sex organs on children way too young. It is the academics who preach that an ever increasing number of people are not the gender they were assigned at birth, and hose who believe that these children will never change their minds - we see this in the denigration of detransitioners. It is the schools that have been given the right to hide gender affirming treatment to children from the child's parent.
Assuming you are of the age of majority, I fully support you doing anything to your body you wish. As long as you aren't doing harm to others, you are free to take any measure on your body you feel like.
Here is what happens when your attitude that all things transgender are above reproach. Read this, and tell me that this is a great way to handle the issue https://www.newstatesman.com/p....
One of my favorite parts of the Tavistock Center FTA "From the middle of 2014, puberty blockers became routine clinical practice. On top of this, the service moved from an “age” to a “stage” approach, whereby access to medical interventions would be dictated by an individual child’s stage of puberty – in this case Tanner stage 2 – not their age. Provided a child had reached this early stage of puberty they could potentially be referred for puberty blockers. “Twelve is an arbitrary age,” Carmichael told the press at the time. Those starting puberty “aged nine or ten” could be considered for treatment from now on."
You think this is appropriate?
I know how the neoliberal "third way" think, and they'd rather reduce the number of government employees, even if that amounts to giving taxpayer dollars to a private owner and gutting good paying union jobs in the community.
I was having a conversation with a friend, a real small government type. His premise was that all government jobs were corrupt, and always will be. So privatize everything. I noted that it is people who are corrupt, so when we get rid of corrupt guvmint, where are the corrupt people going to work?
Private enterprise is at least as corrupt as government workers. Belay that - more corrupt. It is surprising how many decent, honest people work in government. Yeah, at the top at present it's really sketchy - but look where they came from.
It's no wonder the working class is struggling under skyrocketing housing prices, high tuition, and low wages. It's all symptoms of an unhealthy economic system that is the direct result of our political shift in both parties in the US. (and a general trend in much of the West with neoliberalism, especially the anglosphere)
I had been saying for many years that we have a need to stop ignoring the working class, they eventually get pretty pissed. When K Harris told the president of the Teamsters she would win with or without them, I said to myself "No you won't". See, not everyone is Union, but so many are Union adjacent. Harris and the DNC thought they would carry the election on the votes of angry liberal women, thinking that laborers - mainly male - were unimportant. Those are the people the present situation hits hard. And Cheeto and his merry band haven't done anything for them either. This is not remotely a good situation.
Time for some introspection.
Yes, the real reason why netflix used to have a fantastic catalog at low cost was because at the time, the rights holders didn't take Internet streaming seriously and so cheap deal to Netflix was a low risk easy bit of free money.
Then they took it seriously, didn't get the deals from Netflix they thought they should be able to get and started making their own streaming services instead. Probably the first sign of things was when Starz demanded to be a "premium channel" on Netflix. Frankly if Netflix has accepted that arrangement, they might have been the defacto broker of streaming services in one app, though the user experience suffers, but it suffered anyway.
Neutrinos are into physicists.
