Have you considered not dropping your phone in water?

The problem is that Tesla has become a self fulfilling prophecy. Not in any ability to actually make the products they advertise, but in making investors money. So many people have invested so much that the stock price now effectively describes investor’s aspirations for money, not their faith in Tesla. This has been true for some time. The value of the stock has been largely divorced from the reality of production targets, new products, or even the endless controversies.

My bet is tomorrow.

Some marines probably woke up this morning and got issued cold weather gear for a surprise arctic exercise.

I dream of seeing claymore roomba on the news

So would the government be handing out guns or what?

For what? There’s a reason it has the population of a small city.

I’ve had the opposite experience. Mint has just worked on literally every piece of hardware I’ve ever owned.

Everything is higher than the government reports.

Trump fired the guy that reported the unemployment numbers for reporting accurate numbers. I assume everything since is propaganda.

Also, if something has incapacitated the pilot and copilot, the odds that any of the passengers are even conscious seem pretty low.

It’s actually really expensive to get things to the sun.

The easiest ice covered rock to get to from earth would be Europa. He might also confuse it with Greenland as an added bonus.

There is no difference. The traces of minerals that make it pink are so minute that the human tongue can’t pick them up. It’s salt, it’s a rock, it tastes like salt.

Bigger chunks of salt taste saltier because there is in fact more salt per chunk. That’s the only difference between different types of table salts.

Western powers promised Ukraine protection against attack or invasion by themselves and Russia in the December 5th, 1994 Budapest Memorandum.

The US, France, UK, Russia, and China all agreed not to invade Ukraine and in fact to provide protection, and in exchange, Ukraine gave up their nukes.

Russia violated this just 20 years later when they invaded and stole Crimea from Ukraine, and now 30 years later they are trying to conquer the entire country.

Thats why everyone is so hell bent on providing support for Ukraine. Not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because they were promised protection by world powers.

Oh aliens definitely exist. Everything from slime molds to interplanetary and even interstellar species probably exists somewhere.

They’re not gonna fucking come here though. No one in the universe besides us can probably even detect earth as having intelligent life. We’ve only been broadcasting radio for a little over a century, on a planet that’s 4.5 billion years old.

And If you can travel between stars, you can also live perfectly fine without a planet. I’m sure there are star systems with much better resources than sol, that don’t have omnicidal apes with itchy nuclear trigger fingers.

Anything can be a UFO if you’re bad enough at identifying things.

Audiobooks helped me get back into reading. It’s a different medium, but I’m still getting the story.

And now I can enjoy a good story and fold laundry or do other chores at the same time.

It can take a decade or 2 for prions to damage your brain enough to notice, after that it’s a pretty rapid spiral into death.

That’s a pretty shit gamble.

From what I can tell, there’s only one 200V cap in a PS1, so as long as you don’t short that you’ll be fine.

I still caution against the advice of feeling open electrical components to find problems. Just use a multimeter. You short something with a meter and you just need new leads, short something spicy with your fingers and you could either get a nasty sting, or stop your heart. The risk/reward on that seems a little off.

Don’t touch the inside of a psu, this can kill you very rapidly and you’ll feel it the whole time.

Is that gamble worth the lives of nearly every living thing on the planet and the future of human civilization?

Russia alone has enough nuclear weapons to cause a mass extinction event. Even if no one else fires a single one, they could erase life as we know it.

If Putin sees a Leopard tank in Moscow, are you sure he wouldn’t order a launch? And if Britain or the French see those missiles and bombers, are you sure they won’t launch in retaliation?

That’s the logic that European leaders are operating under. If they pull the trigger on article 5 and launch a war with Russia, even if they win, everyone could still lose literally everything.
