I don't want edit, I want a browser grammar checker that's all client side.

The rates are bad, we don't focus on using the least bad estimate we produce, and we stave off crisis to a degree with mediocre public assistance programs which struggle to cover needs for lack of funding but which really amount to can-kicking. That's better than nothing, but still leaves us poised for disaster. If Cheeto Benito successfully terminates these programs (as he has been trying to do, and he has successfully been interfering with them) then the looming crises become immediate not quite overnight, but in literally more 10-30 days.

Today I'm mostly avoiding working on cars, but I do have some ongoing projects and they suck. I can't wait for "every" vehicle to be an EV, which isn't practical for me now, but hopefully will be in the future. But I really don't want everything phoning home with information about me constantly. That information could be used against me, so I don't want it to be collected. Nothing prevents it here except opting out by not buying the whatever-it-is, but sometimes you need the thing.

As vehicles age, they tend to get first cheaper but then more expensive to maintain, so just staying in the past forever isn't realistic. It would be nice to have some options without the constant oversight.

So you have been up close to the towers on ridge lines and you still think they have generators? You're lying about literally everything. Typical coward shit.

Whatever, Russian bot.

Anonymous cowards don't get to get treated like humans.

What does the A-380 have to do with the Panamax?

Is there some component of the aircraft that has to be shipped where the ability to put it on a sea going freighter actually imposes a size constraint?

Flextape can fix anything right!

Can't wait to see the new infomercial. We cut this Jet Liner in half!

Except no not really there is basically no evidence to support that claim. Got look at some charts the portion of the public with health coverage was basically flat from the 70s on, then it ticks up a little in the early 2000s, and into the 2010s (ACA era) it rejoins the earlier trend.

Almost any expansion in coverage can be credited to expansion of medicare / medicaid eligibility. Which is just the fully socialized medical model the ACA claims not to be.

So no there is no real metric that indicates the ACA was successful in any way.

I am not racist here, the racists are the ones given Obama credit for the fat-lot-of-nothing he did. They exist in both directions, people who run around saying he was the worst thing that ever happen are by and large expressing racist sentiment, but anyone claiming he was actually a good and at anything are equally doing so out of racial bias. The Obama did nothing besides be more Gorge W. Bush, and the ACA. The ACA failed, and failed completely.

Insisting it Obama is relevant is just lying.

The difficulty of the job is based pretty much entirely on two this, difficulty of removing electrical connectors and ease of adjustment or lack thereof. The door itself has to meet crash standards so it has to have stuff in it. Therefore most aftermarket doors are for off road use only.

There is no "merely paying" in capitalism. That's literally what it's all based on.

Oh look, modded down by a clown, it must be a day that ends in y.

I know the tower near my home that I normally get signal from doesn't have a generator because it went out after the batteries ran out when we had our last quake, and Verizon promised to bring in a generator but didn't. They wouldn't need to bring one in if it were already there.

I know the tower near my work has a generator because I can see it. I could poke it with a stick through the cyclone fence.

There's a bunch of trolls on here who are mad that I know things. It's very fucking weird.

Turning the senate into a state wide popularity contest, and fundamentally altering what the body was intended to be, a place where the States themselves were represented vs the Peoples house is hardly nutty.

Arguably the current system is not just flawed but down right nutty. The House provides equal representation where by each person gets roughly the same weight in voting for representation. On the other hand the Senate no-longer represents the States because they are also elected by the people but for some reason living in a low population states entitles you to extra proportional representation? WTF?

It does not fit into the 'we're actually a republic not a democracy argument' nor does it fit into the "on man one vote" argument. Its just crazy. Either the Senate should do what it was designed to do and represent the interests of State Governments or it really ought to just be eliminated as a body.

The theory behind the ADA is completely irrelevant. It failed, objectively by any measurable metric it failed. As I said maybe it was legislatively sabotaged. Nothing stopped Obama from saying this won't work as implemented, it isn't what I asked for, refusing to sign it and telling the legislature to try again. He did not do that, why well because it was never going to get past the legislature again and he wanted his name on something transformative. That isn't good leadership its pure vanity!

And no the divisiveness came from the President. He is the one who made those statements. He chose to use the pulpit to make fun of people. That is also on him.

As I said Obama wan't actually a bad president. He was and continues to be someone who is actually vapid and empty headed but does good job sounding insightful. Its an act, he is good at it. He also accomplished exactly nothing other than getting elected while Black. It is literally the only significant thing he did.

TBH I don't get it. Google was literally known (back when people cared) for being massively Linux-based. Then when they make their phone they ruin everything about Linux and then gradually un-ruin it

Apple is participating in the creation of the AI bubble. So yes, it is Apple's fault, in part anyway. Why do people give Apple a pass on behavior they hold Microsoft accountable for?
