This guy was way too young for Vietnam or even the draft.

Despite very credible allegations, Biden was never convicted of raping raping Tara Reade. And his daughter's recollections of him inappropriately showering with her outlasted any statute of limitations. But I see where you're going, there. The rest is a good fit, right down to the weaponized government, for sure. The plot twist is that the real kingpins are behind the scenes, using him as a puppet. It's good villain story line material fresh from real life.

Long overdue.

Just another symptom of our broken "IP" system of malignant copyright - patent abuse finally hitting some kind of limit.

The "current crisis" is manufactured and amplified externally. Nobody is doxxing Tesla owners with maps using Molotov cocktails as map cursors or burning lots full of vehicles in for service in some way that is a function of whether Musk is personally present on the factory floor vs doing something else he thinks is vital to our economic survival. All of it is ginned up hate based on the politics surrounding the pruning of vast left slush funds and debt-funded waste that has to go away. That's an entire industry with vested interests, and acting against it certainly brings out the coordinated hate, attacks on stock value, media smearing, and of course thousands of people who now say he's a nazi though they can't actually articulate why they think that.

No, him being "on the factory floor" or off it doesn't precipitate some "current crisis," except in the sense that entrenched interests currently having their oxen gored by drying up things like the NGO money laundering industry are doing their best to try to wreck the company to make a point.

Looks like SW is going down with Boeing and the 737s from corporate arteriosclerosis.

I can remember when checkin - pay the ticket, throw my checked bag to the counter and running from the curb outside and onto to the plane could be done within 10 minutes of door closed and plane rolling. (~1983-4), and those $15 flights.
Guess the hots pants and free booze wont be back either. My mom actually saved up the little bottles, from post flight give/throw aways from kind flight attendants that would last her another 30 years (still in the wet bar when she moved to a nursing home, before we hired an at home RN elsewhere).

Please archive and post the diagrams, instructions, program notes etc for future moon inhabitants...

I buy cheap chinese stuff because it's expendable with careless, semiskilled labor for the house.

I would not buy disposable cars that incinerate at 10 - 100 x the rate of Ford's old Pintos. Which is what I suspect will happen with accumulated EV mechanical and weather cycles, in battery cycles, vibration, and cumulative minor traffic damage.

One news source suggested that Cyber Truck flammbes were 17x that of the Ford Pinto. If so, I would expect even more from the chinese EVs, short of early abandonments after 1-5 years. Fortunately for Oz, there is a lot of terrrain to store/abandon these things as we await the fireworks...
Go, MGuy - my favorite Ozzie engineer and attorney to watch for EV yt videos.

So the people who made it should have been earning minimum wage, is that your point? Spread that dollar amount across five and half yeads and even modest team of people and their overhead, and they're making middle five figures after taxes. Is that a lot, to you?

It took five and a half years to make it. So, in perhaps over-simplified terms, that's ~$670k year working on it. Let's say you had six people working on the project, and had NO overhead at all beyond their personal income while making it. That's roughly $100k per person before they paid taxes, which is either pretty good or not very good at all, depending on where you live and how. But one supposes they also had some overhead. This wasn't done on their kids' laptops at night. There was music to compose, audio to record and design, and a lot more.

So, yeah. "Just" 3.7M is a fair characterization.

"...10.6 ounces (300 grams), equivalent to the weight of an apple."
most commercial apples in the US are 3 - 4 - 5 ounces

In Asia shit fertilized prize apples do better, even pounds, but 10.6 sounds heavy for a reference

With Blue Origin tours I keep thinking about the Titan submersible tours for rich people.,,

my low wattage laptop or handheld for viewing pre-Code Hollywood or films on free servers on a cool/breezy hilltop without AC like our house

Phuck some ignoramouses bugging us all the time with their particular political message, on our leisure time.
Maybe this is controlled opposition for MAGA, just pissing people off with intrusive climate messaging.

Reminds me of one Rice University prof in the early 1970s claiming there was a problem with a lack of new [strategic metal] mercury reserves being discovered, when there were already 100+ year reserves, not to mention the radical decline in usage/desirability since then.
I was an admirer of Gerard K ONeill, L5 Soc etc the 1970s, and suspect Musk might be putting us back on track for 1-2 cent/KWh wholesale power with less than 20% terrestrial heat and 0 carbon...

No, we just voted the tyrannical little statists out of office. And the people you're now laughably calling Fascists are busy exposing and tearing down the very tools that an actual Fascist government would (and did) use. Fascists don't cut off the cash supply to money-laundering NGOs that are making their pet politicians richer and more personally powerful. Fascists don't work to shut down the mechanisms by which the government can censor your social media use. Your case of projection is pretty impressive.

You know what Fascists do? They try to hide the money movement that keeps their circle of power functioning. Our little lefty statists are busy shrieking that the lead of the executive branch shouldn't be allowed to see the records showing where the executive branch has been writing checks. Gee, what would they be hiding? Their little circle of industrial-scale grift and waste and abuse is getting exposed, and they're furious about it. And here you are having their backs. Pretty ugly. Do you live off of dubious international grant kickbacks or something?

What's missing in the conventional treatment of prostate cancer are known phenomena that alter the transformation of lower grade cancer cells and even severe metastatic prostate cancer lines. This includes specific extracts, vitamin isomers, minerals and dosages that seriously affect (e.g. kill or slow) many malignant cell lines with less (or no) side effects.

That is, that some cell lines will be slowed or stopped in their tracks with seemingly mild treatments or severe cases, synergistically treated with chemo too. Here tracking with both more thorough imaging and extra labs and markers becomes important. Best case, stopped with less drastic side effects. Next best case, slowed dramatically with less drastic side effects. Unfortunately, you need the extra support ($$$) to work extra labs and angles beyond low budget insurance or DIY if you have the real technical capability to make sure to drive things to improvement. Many things are actually cheap, but not "standard".

My cancer search always starts with Life Extension Foundation articles on cancer treatments (combined modalities - conventional and pharma+natural chemistries beyond), extra basic lab tests that might add $100-250 per test cycle (1-3 months), and papers on high dose, specific nutrient molecules with anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and/or immune promoting properties that change/results/improvements can be measured or tracked with the extra lab work.

Sometimes cheaper/better/more convenient medicines not available in the US are available overseas.

Presumably previously harvested data and code sensitive to the CCP have had time to be drastically reduced if not scrubbed 100% clean.

No doubt some CCP cadre get a chance to position themselves for a payout now, too.
