Wah but whatabout

Hasn’t made it to re-entry burn yet. That’s scheduled for about 40 minutes from now. Is supposed to land around 10 pm New Mexico time. Or about 2 hours from now.

In very small numbers. Car recycling/scrapping is a huge industry in developed nations. One that the big manufacturers support for a couple reasons. Main one being to maintain artificial price flooring. If used cars are expensive and harder to come by, people give in and buy new. The manufacturers knew this. But it didn’t occur for them to actively engage in such practices until Cash for Clunkers happened in the US.

Also, low income countries already get their cars from manufacturers people in western nations have never heard of. China, India, and even Iran export new cars to these nations. Options that would be easier to obtain and maintain than something like a 20 year old GM SUV never sold directly in that market.

The author’s guess at potential future concerns doesn’t seem reflective of reality around car ownership economics. Plus China is already getting new EVs to some of these markets at artificially low costs.

Worked with one a while back. She was trying to get out. Her whole family abandoned her. She finally went back and agreed to the arranged marriage temple leadership was demanding. Was immediately pregnant after the wedding. Forced to quit her job to be a stay at home mom.

Firmly believe such behavior should be in our modern concept of slavery.

Oh that’s a huge over simplification on why the guy shot Garfield. Dude was literally insane.

Wip3out did this to me

Balance. It’s perfectly fine to realize when you’re too far in either direction.

Ah another company admitting to only starting their program to avoid lawsuits. It’s not too surprising because many companies didn’t really commit to whatever program they claimed to start.

Correct. A repeat of 1968 was not just possible but likely. Thankfully all resources and support were put behind Harris instead of fracturing across multiple candidates. Had the opposite happened it would have been 1968 all over again.

Every argument they start derails into being bad faith like this. They’re absurdly good at the initial post being somewhat plausible. Then whatever position they took falling apart upon further discussion.

NASA update a few weeks back said all 27 thrusters passed multiple hot fire simulations of the return mission. That overall things looked fine. And they still felt safety factor of riding home on Dragon was better.

Kinda neat that there are multiple options now. NASA mission leaders felt the same a while back. Even if Starliner seems fine to come home why take even that slight bit of risk.

Wild levels of hopium.

North Carolina maybe. Georgia and Pennsylvania again are going to be tough but reasonable to hope for.

But Florida? Ronda won with 60% of the vote 2 years ago. Winning counties that had been traditionally blue.

Florida continues to skew older and is accelerating in average age. Mass migration of retired Boomers continues to push the state harder conservative. They’re on pace for 1/3rd of the adults to be older than 65 in a couple years. It was 1/4 not that long ago.

Number of registered Republicans has recovered since the pandemic. Is now nearly 1M above Democrats.

CNN is being turned into another Fox News from the inside. They sucked before 2022. Wouldn’t trust them at all now. https://www.vox.com/2022/8/26/23322761/cnn-john-malone-david-zaslav-chris-licht-brian-stelter-fox-peter-kafka-column

It was a few years into them being pissed at the audacity of a black man becoming President.

They do actually. CNN was bought by open Trump supporters back in 2022. It’s been stated a few times they want CNN to become another Fox News.

Yep. Had a profile and pics on sugardaddymeet.

Plus had another profile claiming she was an actress on Explore Talent. Which oddly enough so did Candice Owens. And a few other random people that have become GOP props. https://x.com/DelVeneto/status/1432793689848520704/photo/1

We need to bring back communal psychedelic rituals. Will fix most of these people.

Right before the war started the now largest known lithium deposit in Europe (and somewhere top 10 worldwide) was found in eastern Ukraine.

Kissenger finally dying was close. Probably be similar for me when Cheney, Gingrich and McConnell go too.
