  • You're projecting your own ideas on that, friend. I never suggesting sitting anything out. That was you.

    In the context of that post they referred to "dream scenario" implying that that action will likely never happen for Musk or trump. I was pointing out that it is very likely to happen for trump. Nothing with my statement is advocating action or inaction beyond pointing out that fact.

  • trump is 78 years old and is obese. Neither of those two facts usually makes for longevity. Actuarial tables say he could die of natural causes this afternoon and it would be a completely normal thing.

  • [citation needed]

  • Musk isn't American born. He is ineligible to be President without a change to the US Constitution.

  • His influence on trump was limited by Musk. Bannon was pissed all his hard work of puppeteering trump was then being co-opted by a rich immigrant that did zero of the work to tie the string to trump. Seeing this fracture in the Musk/trump bromance, Bannon is seizing the opportunity to stick the knife in Musk and twist it politically.

    Bannon wants to reclaim his "rightful" spot as the sole trump puppeteer.

  • Sue for defamation that Youtube are alleging he is promoting criminal activity of piracy.

  • It’s a multi-generational problem, so we should start fixing it now.

    First, sure we can try, but we don't live in a monolithic place. We have to convince others and come up with plans on how to do it. That's going to take time. We can start, but ending is a long long way from now.

    What is it about EVs is going to make that easier?

    I've already said it many times, EVs don't put out CO2 while we're working on transitioning.

    Further, we still have no answer for last mile non-EV green delivery . I notice you ignored that last point.

  • You're talking about trying to fix a multi-generational problem. In many places the things you're asking to change have been in place for hundreds years. The politics and land ownership laws and implications are immense! That is NOT a fast problem to fix. If you're taking EVs off the table, then that means you're committing to 30-50 years of ICE vehicles pumping out CO2 all of that time.

    How can you consider non-EVs a greener solution in your scenario?

    (I take that back if the EVs we’re talking about here are e-bikes and micromobility devices.)

    Its simply not possible to deliver 2000kg or 2000lbs of cargo to a business for last mile delivery in a timely fashion without a much larger vehicle than an e-bike. Why on Earth would you want a belching diesel vehicle doing that for decades on end when an EV could it with zero CO2 emissions?

  • Is Musk learning he is this administration's Trotsky?

  • You forgot Musk leaking all the snooped data he's collected from all the White House staff traversing his Starlink dish on the White House roof. Anyone know what the over/under for number of christian conservative senior White House officials found actively using Grindr?

  • Which means I doubt there’s going to be a bunch of Republicans suddenly jumping to Team Musk.

    GOP grifters avoiding the biggest pile of money to grift, and you're confident grifters will actively avoid it? I'm not so sure. I'm betting a number of opportunistic GOP will sign up on the Musk train if it means getting a paycheck/personal superpac donation.

  • trump got really bent out of shape with the TACO nickname. If he doesn't follow through with this it will be a prime opportunity to point out yet more TACO evidence.

  • I don't think either man has thick enough skin to allow insults like this to be made public even if they are in on the joke. They don't see themselves through their own eyes. I'm guessing they only see what they imagine others are seeing.

  • This is why I always opt to use Emergency Medical Barbados Slim instead.

  • During the recent Universal Studios Hollywood Fan Fest - "Star Trek: Red Alert" event last month, park guests were walked through a cargo hold on the Enterprise D:

    I was soooo hoping for a Worf + barrel cameo or reference.

    Also, yes, I just found out about this, and yes I'm pissed I missed it. Park guests were walked onto the actual goddamn Enterprise D set piece built out for ST:Picard.

  • Every couple weeks or so I seem to find myself behind someone that’s always either accelerating, or braking, with the brake lights repeatedly flashing on momentarily for no apparent reason.

    In many EVs and Hybrids the "letting off the accelerator" engages the regeneration drag which slows the car. A number of vehicle makers with particularly aggressive drag (which gets higher regen rates) automatically illuminate the brake lights. So if you're behind one of these it will look like they are braking when they may have no foot on any pedal (brake or accelerator).

  • Last fall, about 9 months ago, I got the old Moderna Spikevax booster.

    This fall, 2025, I would like to get the new Moderna mNexspike vaccine, but I'm otherwise healthy and that won't be allowed in the USA for me to get it.

  • My most recent is Moderna Spikevax from last fall here in the USA.
