Rivian R1T Fender Bender Turns Into $42,000 Repair Bill
Here’s Why That Rivian R1T Repair Cost $42,000 After Just A Minor Fender-Bender

You can glance at them all you want, but they're not even close to Trump - by an order of magnitude, or two.

This discusses recent presidential net worth before and after and how they made their money: Chart Shows Net Worth of US Presidents Before and After Office (2024) with Obama and Clinton making most of it after leaving office, and Biden from real-estate . Trump lost money after his first term due to the economic downturn during the pandemic and $590M in loan repayments and is currently raking it in via various, putting it politely, avenues (link below).

The net worth as of 2025 (various Google results):
Bidens: $10M - mostly property
Obamas: $70M - mostly books
Clintons: $300M - books, speaking, investments, consulting
Trump: $6.2B (down from $7.3B) - most while *in* office: Presidency Boosts Trump’s Net Worth By $3 Billion In A Year

Pelosis: $280M - investments (big-cap tech stocks) and real estate (most probably during her 40 years in office) and her husband is a venture capitalist.

List of presidents of the United States by net worth: #1: Trump, #4 Clinton, #12: Obama, #25 Biden.

Ya, but once everything is available as cloud-only services, how much RAM and storage will us consumers really need? /s

You get lube? Luxury! :-)

I have a Dell XPS 420, that a friend gave me years ago, that is currently running Windows 10 just fine. Don't know when he got it, but the system came out in 2007. I'm sure it would run Linux (Mint) very well too, though I'll be switching to a system I built already running Mint 22.2 (ASRock Z77 Extreme3, Intel i7-3770, 32GB RAM). Neither system meets the (arbitrary) HW requirements for Windows 11, if I even wanted to use it. I also have several other very old Intel-based systems that run Linux fine as well as one Athlon 64 X2 system running OPNsense. Newer isn't always better - use and needs count for more.

Still better that what you'd get from MacroSoft ... :-)

It succeeded in, conveniently, disassembling itself *and* landing at multiple places at the same time. :-)

If it's something customers actually want, or even need, you don't need sales targets/quotas.

Among widely available fonts under OFL, GNU GPL for Fonts, or other free licenses, not many of them cover the 2,100-odd Jouyou (regularly used) kanji and 1,000 name kanji that BadDreamer mentioned. It's a lot easier to make a font that covers 100-200 characters from two alphabets, such as Chilanka that covers the Latin and Malayalam scripts in a distinctive and dyslexia-friendly handwritten style, than one that covers 3,000 different kanji made of 600 radicals (as iggymanz mentioned) with manually-tuned slight variations to their shapes to make them fit next to each other in a character.

Exclusive use of kana (Japanese phonetic characters) was common in games for MSX, Famicom, and other 8-bit platforms. The one problem with that is the sheer number of homophones in both Chinese and Japanese, words spoken the same and written differently. Kana normally don't even distinguish which syllable a word is accented on, which would be like writing Chinese without its tones. Yet somehow Korean avoided this and switched from Chinese characters (Hanja) to a suitable phonetic alphabet (Hangul).

And?

The AI assistant ate my homework.

That sentiment lives here in the U.S. too. :-)

Government didn't give you those free school lunches? Also, if you were that poor, you would have qualified for college tuition assistance - if you didn't take it, that's on you. I'm sure. if you think about things a little more, you'll find many "liberal" programs helped you along the way to "getting there yourself" -- many programs that Democrats want to fund and Republicans don't.

I also don't think your characterization that liberals believe people are stuck as haves or have-nots, or that conservatives believe all things are fluid and self-determined is accurate. For example, plenty of red-states receive assistance ultimately provided by blue states. Republicans want to cut funding for many assistance programs supported by Democrats. Conservatives often do this under the guise of eliminating "fraud, waste and abuse" though they usually can't document much of that.

Elon Musk . He's been all over the place on both sides, voting both Democrat and Republican, was woke, but not anymore, definitely part of the ruing class. Granted, one could argue it's part of a progression, but still a dichotomy to some extent. Also, in the same vein to some extent over time, Trump.

We do agree that, in the long run anyway, employers that just want dumb employees aren't doing themselves any favors.

Anyway, best wishes...
