Comment Re:Will it make ICEs irrelevant (Score -1) 163

Because not everyone is you.

I have no problem driving straight through 10+ hours. I stop only to get gas which is a waste of my time and highway refueling out in nowhere is expensive and far between stations. If I had a vehicle that could go 600+ or better yet 1000+ I'd max that thing out the night before my trip and not stop until I got to the other side. And forget that in an EV. Doing long trips in my 3 sucks (I only do those in my ICE now) and even moderate trips of 1-2 hours requires some planning and timing.

You must be really old or have some health issues if you can't last more than a few hours without peeing on yourself. My dog was like that in his final days but he was 15 years old by the time his bladder became an issue but he could go longer than a few hours between breaks outside.

Yes that oil is used for cars but not entirely. You can't pin that entire cost on ICE cars.

Do you like plastic? Food? Flying? Medicine? If you answered yes to any of those then you'd understand that even if every car on the planet went EV we'd spend just as much bombing the middle east as we do now.

My model 3's battery max has been shrinking noticeably every year since day one despite never super charging and doing all the right things with it, which is frustrating and annoying. I look forward to swapping it out for a solid state car in a few years even if some of the max range promises don't pan out. The limited demo test numbers are still better than my 3 when it was new. Toyota looks like they'll never ship one of these things, can't believe anything Elon says, so if it's a Mercedes then so be it.

Comment Too many kids use Thingiverse to have firearms (Score 1) 99

It's not only adults who use Thingiverse.
When I was a teenager, I knew someone who paralyzed his friend with a .38 pistol. Back in 1980, it was the very first wheelchair ramp I had ever seen in real life. If he is still alive, he spent all that time in a wheelchair because someone let a minor use a firearm.

You're not very bright. Not at all.

We've been sending weapons. Since Trump 45. While we sent javelins, France sent blankets. You blatantly ignored that fact then post some trash link. We also provide intelligence, logistics, have Americans there in the ground firing our weapons directly at Russians for them, and so on.

Meanwhile, Europe, who has way more skin in the game talks a big talk but sends blankets, no men, no other direct assistance and still buys gas from Russia funding Putin's war machine years n years after that pro Putin poodle Trump warned them not to long before Putin's invasion and then to this day still buys Russian gas directly funding Putin's war.

More on who pays: even if those dumb EU countries weren't directly supporting Putin's war buying his gas, the EU population is 1.5x larger than the US. The per person cost to the EU should be at least 1.5x on absolute terms just to match what the average American had out in. EU continues to give lip service to Ukraine yet supports Russia, while simultaneously making loud noises about how we don't do enough while the average American supports Ukraine waaaaay more than the average Euroweenie does.

Math is math and your math just ain't matting no matter how you look at it but oh wait, "Trump traitor, waaaah, orange man bad!" is all you got.

In short, you have a tiny little brain, a tiny little world view which results in your saying tiny dumb little things about serious adult tooucs you don't understand. Also, I note didn't even bother to defend the other stupid things you said which I calked out so I'll graciously accept your acknowledgement of those bits of your ongoing idiocy.

Tl;Dr: you are tiny brained and ignorant and loudly demonstrate your stupidity. Done here. You got nothing to say worth my time. Have a nice day. I hope you learned something today but we both know you didn't.

If you had actually read the agreement, we do not owe anything to Ukraine. It only says some weak bullshit about how we'll be really upset on their behalf and write sternly worded letters. It does not guarantee weapons and sure as hell doesn't lock us into sending troops. I read the agreement. Did you?

And as far as why anyone would help Ukraine, western Europe is a LOT closer to Ukraine than we are. Maybe you should check a map or ask chatgpt. They have real reasons to not want militarily aggressive and hostile Putin Russia knocking on their door whereas for us it would be merely annoying if Putin invaded the rest of Europe. They have a duty and obligation above any piece of shit paper treaty. They have self defense of their own people to motivate them. Although it doesn't really. They still expect us to shoulder the greater burden.

As far as traitor goes, you need to look up the word. No one can commit treason against another country. Your claims of traitorous Trump make no sense. It's pure childish babble. You could make a very weak claim of being a back stabber by not following through on support but he has already done everything the agreement said and more so that doesn't fly, either, but at least using the right words would show you have trivial concepts correct. Traitor does not apply here.

And finally, who exactly is "my lot"? And why would I feel cheated out of the Soviet Union? Wtf does that even mean? You slap labels and paint me with straw man colors for things that either make no sense or do not in any way represent my opinions. But intellectually weak people need strawmen to beat up so you might as well use me but be careful, I bite back at stupid people who say dumb shit. You're a good little sheep mindlessly repeating the spew your masters feed you. Good boy!

Like you, I miss the good old days when all Ukraine had to do was fire a prosecutor working on a corruption case that directly impacted the VP's son's income stream to get money from us. Times were simpler back then.

Now a days, Ukraine has to send some little guy here in his pajamas and he goes home with billions every time. That's rough. And oh yeah some made up stuff about Trump obeying Putin because you have access to the raw transcripts of their private conversations. It's so much harder and more complicated for them now. Poor Ukraine, such a struggle.

And my god, the EU! They might have to actually step up and spend real money to defend their neighbor instead of sending blankets when we were sending javelins during Trump'45. How horrible for Europe!
