Same here, wrt teflon. For a forever chemical, it seems to be not very forever.

That's why I wanted to see Harris vs Haley in 2024.
Identity politics would have cancelled out.
Would have been glorious.

Afraid not, named for the city in Oregon:

Far south-eastern OR, without checking, I'm betting solid MAGA country. Maybe they'll change their name to America, Oregon.

"Chinese government is subsidizing the manufacturers"

Not really (EU figured out the exact amount, 18%?). It's that CCP can do what CARB has been trying to do over and over ("thou shalt make EVs"), but in China there's no opposing. Instead of spending on EV R&D, US legacy auto industry spent it on lawyers and lobbyists fighting EV mandates. While in China, companies worked on the entire dirt-to-drive supply chain. And won. Maybe too much winning...there's expect to be a bloodletting in the Chinese EV industry coming up.

"especially since probably 90% of teh daily driving is less than 50 miles"

These kind of claims appear over and over ("average commute of 38 miles" is another. EV advocates making the statements do themselves a disservice. What happens with human lossy-compression cognition is that a technically correct statement becomes "EVs can go only 50 (or 38) miles". There's also an arrogance factor where it looks like the EV advocates in their ivory tower are telling you what's good enough for you.

Name something "Trump" that would get under Trump's skin. I don't know what would do that well. Trump is so vain and shallow that I cannot get into that headspace. Only idea I have is an offshore wind generation farm. For other things, like trailer parks or toxic waste dumps, Trump may not care.

One tangential trivia, like "Hitler", "Trump" is not a long-standing family name. Both were changed from something similar a generation or two before the most notorious member to carry the name.

At least stick airtags top and bottom. Even one of each competing type (3, IIRC).

Sounds like a bitter existence.
Avoiding added sugar might be a better compromise.
OceanSpray dried cranberries always amuse me. 40g serving, 24g are added sugar (27g total). Literally more sugar than cranberry. IOW, cranberry-flavored sugar.

This is the kind of stuff that has me thinking about how much better it would have been if Trump really had won in 2020. We would have been done with Trump in 2025, assuming whatever mechanism(s) MAGA uses to make Trump president-for-life failed. When 45 ended it still had a few patriots in the administration protecting the country. They would have likely atritted out, but it wouldn't have been for a full term. Trump used the four year hiatus to sharpen his plans for another term: loyalty above all; Department of Retribution; ICE turned into Schutzstaffel; naming everything after himself; tariffs on those fucking penguins; Project 2025. Today we may have: free transit through the Strait of Hummus; the East Wing of the White House; Gulf of Mexico; Lake Ontario; ...

Glad I'm not alone in disliking a "feature" that rips out all of your hard fought protections and leaves the browser naked and afraid on the internet configured in whore mode.

Anyways, prefs.cfg must be a windows name. I added:
user_pref("browser.disableResetPrompt", true);
to the user.js where I put permanent preferences.

The actual phrase is "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts,..." which sticks in my mind because of the qualifier for arts. It's not all arts, only useful arts. But it IS all science, not just useful science. Suck it mimes, go find a useful art to make.

I thought the 100% China EV tariff came from Sleepy Joe's reign. From what I remember of the soundbite of Biden's angry announcement speech was the subtext: We need to protect American auto industry because it is too fat and lazy to compete with crafty Chinamans. Did Trumplestiltskin add another 100%?

Not just Zuckerbot, Bezos' yacht also has a support yacht. But for those with true wealth, the support yacht has its own support yacht. In fact, it's support yachts all the way down.

lnteresting that FE-Schrift is sans-serifs with exceptions. That wouId be nice if used more wideIy.

Congress eventually provided for a presidential pension inspired partly by Truman's situation. Parlaying the presidency into wealth is a recent phenomenon. Trump stands alone in doing it while holding the office.
