Not to mention these vehicles are a huge pain to work on. I changed the spark plugs in a 150/1500 class truck recently and had to lay down on to of the engine on a chunk of old mattress to reach any of them. And needed a 2-step stepladder to get up there. I've since changed to a Ridgeline and you can reach anywhere in the bed and most of the engine without a ladder. The interest in the Slate and recent sales of smaller trucks suggest that this is a growing market.

Do you honestly think that describes all conservatives?

There's trillions of dollars of investment wanting to be thrown at datacenters and the power is part of the package. If tech bubble money can be used to help with nuclear economies of scale and building institutional experience, I will not turn it down.

Emoting or no emoting, we're going to go nuclear. We need reliable energy.

If you can't trust the gambling industry, who can you trust?? Sheesh!

It's probably so they don't have to go fetch hundreds of cars if the update goes wrong. Same reason I don't update software when I have something important tomorrow.

... MLB can tell players to wear "pride" gear. Hmm.

No, it's just logic. How many things are children either not allowed to do or not allowed to decide for themselves? They're permanent, life altering decisions that a child really doesnt grasp the gravity of. We don't normally let rando adults talk to children about sex because they have motivations the child does not understand. No 5 year old thinks they are the opposite gender without someone older suggesting it to them.

Recent legal cases have been on the basis that the services are/were defective by design and, as a result, presented dangers which were independent of any specific post on the platform. It's not a specific post or set of content which was the issue. It's the whole system.

I was thinking mostly of the naval vessels, but yeah, Ukraine has allies with both. Or, is a vassal to countries with both, depending on how you want to look at it.

So, basically, all of them, unless they want to be vassals of those who do have those.

We have freakin' parades in honor of pride now, for Pete's sake; we may as well have some in honor of envy too ...

But ... but ... I'm me! I express the correct opinions on social media! I genuflect to whatever group is oppressed this week! I offer a pinch of incense to the emperor!

I'm not the "other people" they'll take money from ... right???

Thank goodness that nobody in the tech sector can live and work remotely! They'll never be able to flee, bwah ha ha!

Yes, exactly.

They never stop with "billionaires". That's not where the money is, not enough of it. It's going to be you; your house, your 401K, etc.
