I think this is my first "-1 troll."

Interesting.

Apparently there's strong evidence that the plasticized bodies in "Bodies: The Exposition" are Chinese political prisoners. I was too lazy to look up this evidence, so I just threw out a flippant comment that alluded to China's impressive and well documented lack of giving any shits about human rights.

It being China we're taking about, I'm going to go ahead and translate "dedicated primate research facilities" into "prisons."

Companies are never held to account unless it's to another company with pockets deep enough to pay lawyers for years of work on their behalf.

30A @240V? Based on my math, you're wanting a 300 foot run or so from the breaker box to your charger, since 6-6-6-6 Copper Service Entrance Cable is $6-7 a foot if you buy by the foot.

Except it does work out. The amount of money I have NOT spent on maintenance and gas since I bought my first EV is just so incredibly financially satisfying.

That may be anecdotal evidence, but you've got none at all.

I did this out-of-pocket once, because it was worth the money given the number of years I expected to live at that house. Totally worth it, given that I can drive my BEV 4 times as far as an equivalent ICEV on a dollar per dollar basis.

So the "adversary" in "Top Gun: Maverick" WAS Iran. I knew it!

Aren't you in the electorate?

Is policing an activity that is legal. I can build a gun at home as long as that gun is legal in the locale that I'm building it in.

Printing up a Glock 19 frame on a 3D printer, injection molding one out of glass reinforced nylon, or whittling it out of a steel block are functionally equivalent in the short term. Assuming that firearm is legal in the locale it was built in, why is one of these policed and the others not?

It seems more like just one more way to surveil the populace.

Trump is a malignant narcissist with a hyper-manic temperament and dementia. As such, he doesn't do things for other people, he does things for himself that may possibly benefit other people.

He also tends to fuck up everything he tries to do in some important way and then bullshit his way through it, which really keeps the n-th dimensional chess conspiracy theorists on their toes trying to explain his antics.

30,000 people being killed is not why Trump started this war, it was his excuse to try to put some money in his pockets and to grow his brand.

My crystal ball, informed by his past performance, predicts that Trump will make some money from the situation, and the inflation and humanitarian crisis will increase the overall level of human suffering far in excess of the status quo.

That seems like a reasonable thing to be mad at.

Maybe there's some really kick-ass compression algorithm involved.

I don't think Trump can be blackmailed. Every time some new evidence that he's garbage comes to light, we just set the bar lower.

The exact second Trump can kill 30,000 Americans that he believes oppose him and get away with it, he absolutely will.

He's alluded to, hinted, at, and straight out said as much in a hundred different ways.

The thing they're talking about is the Heartbeat Sensor described in Rainbow Six...with AI!
