Take advantage of the law by owning a bus conversion. Our bus weighs ten tons empty.

Alas, California is requiring us to smog the fucking things now, we have to do the same tests as commercial trucks, not just as often. Our rig passes easily, but it costs money and requires a trip halfway across a large county. In fact, since we hardly ever go anywhere, it significantly increases our emissions...

The tests I care about other than reliability and straight streaming read or write speed are random read/write which some cards do much better than others — I expected this for writes, but not for reads! — and how long a device can sit around unused and retain data.

TFA notes that there are application performance class ratings, but they are very particular and what I really want to know is what happens with lots of small files.

The purpose of the theater is participation in group reactions. If that's not interesting to you, by all means stay home. I enjoy it, but it's not worth the down sides of doing that with modern moviegoers, so I stay home and watch a big TV at home and eat popcorn with real butter, and pause when I want to take a piss. I have 4k and DTS at home, thanks.

Screen size: True, although these days an 80" screen that you can reasonably sit close enough to in order to have a similar experience is not very expensive.
Sound: You mean I don't have to get my fucking head blown off by overdriven audio? OK.
Visual quality: The 80" 4k TV has just as many dots as the theater does, and a better contrast ratio.

Get some friends together to make the purchase and watch movies together, it will get to be cheaper than going to the theater real quick. You can buy 4k Blu-Rays instead of tickets.

At this point trying to have a rational discussion with any Trumplican is stupid. Dare I say irrational?

But Florida Man trying to defend the YOB is proof of concept. The concept of stupid people vote, too.

From a larger perspective, I don't feel like the fools are responsible. They are suckers who are being manipulated and victimized by applied psychologists.

In general psychology is a crock of garbage, but the applied psychologists have a huge bag of tricks to sell to con artists and rich scumbags who want more money. So they install new mental software in the fools' so-called minds and all of have to live with the consequences. Until we die, and just too bad if you die sooner than you hoped for so some rich guy can pocket a few more bucks.

Denialism is really boring trolling. You are a penis bird's clown shoes.

"People using normal comes-and-goes of the weather to frighten others into toeing their line are despicable."

People ignoring science, including what it says about localized weather events including some occasional cooking, are dumb as shit. And when they claim other people are using scare tactics because they lack the mental fortitude to handle bad news and they want them to stop so they can feel secure amidst chaos, it's pathetic.

"Somehow a 7 liter diesel dually truck is fine to daily drive, but a 50mpg 2.0 turbodiesel in a small passenger car is so restricted as to ban the category entirely."

The one and only fun 50 MPG diesel car ever sold in the US was the original Golf TDI with what, a 1.9? Then the Germans all willfully cheated the emissions tests for diesels and they all had to cancel those models, because no one was buying them, and they no longer got that mileage either. Germany, Germany's automakers, and Bosch did that. Blame the right criminals, please.

Republicans are mass shooters.

Democrats are the Uvalde police.

If they cut Medicaid then here in California where we currently aid the undocumented with our program called Medi-cal (which is really just Medicaid plus some other programs), we will probably not be able to afford to do that. We will need to spend what money we have for the purpose of aiding citizens who have been cut off because this administration wants them dead.

And that has what to do with torture exactly?

And they will expand more.

The thirteenth amendment still permits slavery as a punishment for commission of a crime. And it doesn't specify which crimes, so they could be any at all.

Who is going to pick crops after we traffic all the people doing it now? Slaves.

Mod parent E for Effort if not F for Funny Fail?

Currently reading two books with "the end" in the title. And yesterday's news mentioned that the June weather was surprisingly higher than ever before recorded. In mitigating circumstances, the local temperature records only go back about 150 years. During that news there were several flash announcements about little tornadoes. I remember one for a district just north of here, so that must have been a specific sighting, but later there was a warning for the entire region.

Good thing I had already had a nice day.

Found one bit of unmoderated Funny under "profit", but I realized there was lots of funny potential around "Musk", too. However too many to check all mentions for unmoderated Funny there, so I can blame that one on the moderators. (As usual.)

Mod parent funny, though morbid.
