Or you could read all the way to the end of your quote, and try basic reading comprehension

Sure , let’s move the goalposts

So, I see, you’re painting Trump and Putin as the underdog. Everyone pushing them around

Yes, that term usually denotes a person or group not in power.

Google says

A person, group, or organization that uses violent action, or the threat of violent action, to further political goals; frequently in an attempt to coerce either a more powerful opponent, (such as a citizen or group targeting a government), or conversely, a weaker opponent, (such as a government, or even an internal citizen or group, being targeted by a larger government).

He’s not a terrorist, doesnt match the definition. You may notice a lot of comparisons to hitler though. Trump is a better match for a despot

About a week ago, I picked my kid up from college about 90 miles away. While doing small talk with other parents, one said “you must be really brave to drive an EV that far”.

Among the many misconceptions here, there was a supercharger in town and others along both possible routes

I suppose it depends on cost, and how many launches they actually do. Trucking in LNG can’t be very efficient or scalable.

Yep, unpopular alright, even among all those of us who benefit most.

But on the more positive side, Isn’t it amazing how well translation is becoming embedded everywhere? This is a huge technology improvement of the last couple years that deserves more attention!

And from the synergy…. It wasn’t all that long ago that phones (or at least iOS) added text recognition from photos so _now it’s trivial to see a translation _. From a photo!

But that’s kind of the problem. If it’s only supported in one or two apps, is it really an open format?

For example, I use Libre Office on my laptop. However the printer driver for my printer is no longer supported and Microsoft keeps installing a broken one over the one that works. I can no longer reliably print from my laptop.

But printing from my iPhone has been flawless for years. But if I try to look up how to edit and print open document format on my iPhone, the answer is “Microsoft Word”. How is the “open” format not supported, and why do I need to switch to a proprietary format?

Or a less douchey version is …. While this may be well intentioned, it’s really not going to work and he needs to find another way to contribute

This is the least weird thing … as a father, I always preferred an activity with my kids to celebrate Father’s Day, especially something that makes a difference, something that celebrates caring and protecting, and encourages my children to develop habits that care and protect. We generally did something like wilderness cleanup, or clean up grounds at community centers.

As my kids become adults and have less need of care and protection, it would be easy to say that Father’s Day no longer applies. But it applies to me if I say it does: taking care of people doesn’t just disappear. In the last couple years I’ve been putting some thought into whether I’d continue to meaningfully celebrate Father’s Day and how.

If I were close to someone who was attacked, who I couldn’t protect, who I wasn’t able to sufficiently care for, who needed a womens shelter, why wouldn’t that be one of the possibilities?

They really needed to include a paragraph about the expected effects of Starship. It may not be ready yet, but that’s in our near future, with a lot more launches.

If one of their concerns was soot from burning kerosene like SpaceX Falcon, what difference does methane make? They mentioned Blue Origin, it if that is hydrogen, what difference does that make compared to methane?

It would also have been useful to clearly distinguish affects from launches vs satellites, since that may direct possible strategies

Was this on April 1?

Sure

• church fundraiser
• state lottery
• Penny ante poker
• social gambling like March madness or superbowl squares

The thing is we do have better options, but they’d need to spend money

1. We have a pretty good commuter rail service, so one option is to just let the highway get congested. Ideally improve rail service but we shouldn’t even need to
2. The real problem is bottlenecks. Let’s spend the money to fix some ramps and interchanges. We don’t need to worry about more lanes if the traffic moves

I’ve tried to like it but I just can’t. How is it entertaining to just give your money away, literally without anything of value?

I’ll do Super Bowl squares and March madness, because it’s a social activity. Once every year or so I’ll buy a lottery ticket for one night of amazing dreams.

But organized gambling, like casino, inline, track, sports bets always just feels like they are robbing me. I did bet at a horse track and a dog track a couple of times but it’s just so sad watching these old people piss away their social security checks. Now we have polymarket which seems like mostly a way for immoral politicians, celebrities, business people to enrich themselves with insider knowledge

Yeah, we need to ban for-profit gambling

It’s not just that we don’t enforce any of this crap but we actually encourage it.

Near me there’s one highway where they open the shoulder as a lane during rush hour, intentionally and legally, as the cheap way to widen the road. No one seems to care that it makes accidents bigger, blocks emergency vehicles and people get used to it and do it everywhere

Yeah that’s excellent! I’ve been trying to do similar for years …… for my ex and kids.

I use Apple’s password manager mainly because it’s so well integrated into their ecosystem, including family sharing. If you’re an Apple family, it’s a great choice (and yes there’s a windows integration).

I finally forced them to use it for streaming services because I refuse to give the password out. I just tell them where they can find it

But none of them voluntarily use it. And it even gives notices for reused passwords and exposed passwords: I have to see that but they won’t change them because they can’t remember them.

Mary Barra gets all kinds of shit and pressure to resign for saying she believes EVs are the future, despite cutting way back on GMs attempt to build them

Or you could have both. According to all the testing agencies, modern teslas are among the safest most reliable cars.

And it’s not just the huge amounts of instant torque that can be a blast, but the noise, or lack of! The silence even under hard acceleration just makes it seem effortless. I also used to feel a thrill with the noise of a powerful gas engine but that feels like an awful lot of effort just to not accelerate well. I seriously feel Ike it’s similar to a stream engine train: “full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing”
