He could have said nothing. The problem is that he didn't invoke his 5th amendment rights. Instead, he destroyed records on his phone. The base of this whole argument is if the government has the right to search your phone with no warrant or probable cause, just because you are crossing the border.

Shannon Devine, a spokeswoman for Trump Media & Technology Group, has pushed back on the characterization, telling Quartz that Truth API "offers customers the fastest way to ingest publicly available Truth Social data" and that critics "must have invented a new theory of 'insider trading' based on publicly available information."

If I have to pay $100k to get this info, it's not publicly available. It might LATER be available (even if it is milliseconds), but it is not publicly available. This is THE VERY DEFINITION of insider trading.

I had my first run in with an AI operator. They tried to act like it was a real person ('Please wait while we connect you to a representative"). They even had it 'um' a few times like a real person would... but it was done so poorly I quickly figured out I it was an AI bot. The other big giveaway was how quiet it was when the AI bot was 'thinking'. The end result? It gave me the exact same information I was able to look at online. If any company thinks this is better than the Indian call centers, they are in for a rude awakening...

The bigger reason is that the early Leaf had terrible range. Why spend money to put a battery in a vehicle that will get less than half the range of a modern EV? And with no active liquid cooling system, you are still going to have a battery trashed after a few years. Modern EVs will have enough economies of scales and range to make it possible that replacement batteries will be viable.

I'll try and remember that when the Stock Market House of Cards topples over under the sheer weight of..expert financial advice.

Looking at the stock market charts, I see that nothing has 'toppled over'. It has continued to rise year after year. Does it have dips? Yes. Those are corrections to over-valued stocks, and a chance to buy at a lower price.

It'll only be the fourth fucking time I've had to survive it.

If you just let it ride, and continue to buy on dips, it is very survivable. How would one NOT survive one of these... topples?

Without knowing the individual variables for a particular person and their circumstances, you can't say definitively that one costs less than the other. With my EV and situation, I've run the math and I'm DEFINITELY going to come out ahead by year five, and I keep my cars for at least ten years.

Comment Pay again for streaming content? (Score 1) 92

I already pay for a Disney+ subscription. I already watched The Mandalorian series. It was OK. Why would I pay more to go watch mediocre content I've already paid for once? And I've heard the production quality of this 'movie' is no better than the series. I can't even believe they tried to pull a fast one on us like this...
