Can confirm. It is really bad here in San Jose (south, near 101 and 85)

Damn, and me without mod points. So much this!

The Youtube account Driver61 has a video about modern F1 gearboxes, and essentially the clutch is used to start, and in the pits, but on the track it is air shifters and momentary throttle automated tweaks to slide between gears.

And they are VERY fast at shifting. Us mere mortals wouldn't get that, because in a daily driver, the transmission would be destroyed, but for a race car that has a finite time between major wrenching, it is fine. Also, apparently the clutch springs are super strong, and us mere mortals would struggle to use it when you have to stop at a light for instance.

Goddamn, and me without mod points to vote this up. Spot on.

Man oh man, why do I not have mod points for this? Hat tip to Sebby!

I guess I will keep my eye on Molly's https://web3isgoinggreat.com/ for this epic rugpull.

Dorsey needs to recoup the money of his in Xitter that Musk is lighting on fire somehow, and this might just do it!

Is it Shark-week already? Shark-Nado?

I read that and added a "... hold my beer"

Yes

This, I trust MSFT far more than I trust Google. It is not even close.

I can't believe it, I agree with rsilvergun. It is a Christmas Miracle.

I lived in Arizona for more than a decade (left in 2014) and I can assure you that there are tracts in Phoenix where the covenants (HOA terms) that mandate green grass lawns. Also, there are laws that limit the cost of water to the cost of delivery of it, not of the intrinsic value. That means that the utilities can't charge what the resource is worth.

When I moved to Chandler, a suburb of Phoenix, we had to drain our pool to do some repair and acid wash it. I was terrified as to what that would cost, and truth was it cost about $20 to fill a 30K gallon pool. In California that would probably lead to a $2,000 water bill.

... it is the only way to be certain to destroy this cancer...

Same thing here. This last holiday shutdown, I moved my last Google email (I guess it is now G-Suite) to Fastmail, as we really only used Google to handle our family email. It is about $3 a month cheaper, not a huge deal, but not giving Google another penny is worth it by itself.

Then yesterday while I was listening to a podcast, there was an ad for Google's Password manager. Like I would ever trust Google with my passwords. Fuck that shit.

This has strong Kodak vibes. In the 1970's Kodak developed the first digital cameras and sensors, but their leadership was in the thrall of the chemists, and the belief was that riding the emulsion wave was the future. That marked the beginning of of the end for Kodak as we knew it. Someday in the future, people will point to this event as the same for Google. Good.
