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.
I don't have the time to go to another county far away from me for that, nor the lawyer money. Welcome to America.
"From 2021 until 2024, the co-conspirators allegedly impersonated more than 80 U.S. individuals"
It's called identity theft. Are you new?
I've had my identity stolen, the problem is that courts don't punish corruption. In fact, they enable it.
Someone bought a car using my identity. Their proof of identity was my social written on a check cashing card. They had my same name, all three names. But the DOB didn't match so the person who sold them the car was in on the scam. Then a court (in Nevada City, CA) awarded a judgement against me based on my social being written in pen on a check cashing card. This does not meet any reasonable standard for SSN verification, but they got the judgement anyway.
That courthouse should be sold and the funds distributed between the court's victims.
The identities of people who mod posts should be public. That's the single most broken by design thing about the Slashdot moderation system.
That wouldn't make sense if everyone had modpoints and comment scores could be higher, but they don't and they can't.
This isn't a community, and this is a big part of why.
Why the fuck do we allow them to have an internet connection?
Who's "we", the USA? Or do you imagine that all nations which aren't China are on the same page when it comes to... anything?
Ahhh well played microsoft, abandoning what you're good at
The only thing they're good at is breaking the law.
Collecting contributions to send the most annoying politicians and celebrities there on a one way trip would be very profitable.
Sending them "there" is just as good, Starship is already adequate to get the real job done.
The senate lunch system was designed as a jobs and wealth redistribution scheme first and a space craft development project second.
ED: Looks like it's 24(!) hives per beehome, and they charge $2k delivery ($83/hive) plus $400/mo ($400/hive/yr) for maintenance.
Clearly not something of use to amateurs, and I'm not sure whether you can make that economics work out for professionals, either. I guess it depends on how truly independent it is, vs. your local labour costs.
