    Is it moral to vandalize Teslas?

  • One that's already purchased? I could go either way.

    A lot full of cars at the dealership? All bets are off.

  • (paraphrasing from elsewhere) Every good business owner LOOOOVES to tell people/governments they can't pay more money if they can blame it on the law/lawyers.

    Without that security blanket, the door is open to extracting money from US businesses by foreign governments. The owner can't even give a good reason why they shouldn't be blackmailed.

    From a "corrupt president" perspective, this is a bad policy, but somehow, from an "American business owner" perspective, it's even worse.

    This is not meant as sarcasm or to be derogatory, I am genuinely curious as to what the hope is for the ideal outcome of the protests being held against the current administration?

  • What Trump and his lackeys are doing is illegal. The thing is, people get away with illegal things all the time. Being illegal is only a deterrent if there are consequences.

    So it's up to the people to show Congress that there will be electoral consequences in 2026 if they don't do anything in 2025. The Presidential election is over, and it's incredibly unlikely that enough representatives/senators would do their plain duty to convict the guy. The people have to let them know that if they don't at least keep things happening within the rules, they won't be back.

    Protests are more visible to the media, so they keep up the morale of the resistance, but it's every bit as important to write, call, and otherwise contact your representatives in DC to let them know this is NOT OK. Be polite, but firm.

  • A little tangential, but if someone knocked on my door and tried to sell me the patent for the cure to the common cold for $10, I'd refuse on principle alone. Stop trying to sell me stuff.

  • What are your favorite RSS feeds?

  • I had watched DS9 episodes when I came across them over the years. Usually good, but didn't have the itch to commit to 173 episodes back-to-back. Finally binged the whole thing about 3 years ago, and good lord it's every bit as relevant today as it was 25+ years ago.

  • The "junk drawer" is supposed to have old receipts, loose batteries, the toy(s) you took from your kid when they threw it at your head, some vaguely kitchen-esque looking tool you got as a wedding gift but don't know what it is....crap like that.

    That's just a normal large/specialty utensil drawer.
