So… what about SpaceX?

*cone heads

If you damage a Tesla enough, there’s a chance the owner may replace it with another one, resulting in monetary gain for Elon Musk.

So no, don’t do it.

If they are German, but trying to type English :)

I wonder if there will eventually be a real Butlerian Jihad

In the mean time, it is better US (United States) than THEM (The Hegemony of Evil Manchurians)

The US definitely doesn’t give a shit about all those countries.

But my take is the US is doing it so that it can continue its global dominance. Russia or China will happily take its place if the US relents. Are you willing to take a backseat to China or Russia? Doubtful.

What does this actually mean?

Unfortunately, I have about 10 dead 3TB drives sitting around in my closet. I took the sacrifice so you don’t have to :-)

One insurance company already reversed policies on anesthesia cap.

We really need some accountability from these insurance companies that wield so much power over the well-being of Americans.

Mao and Stalin predates James Monroe? Let me know what you’re smoking!

Maybe Lisa Su goes to Intel 🙃

Maybe a Ford Maverick or a Honda Ridgeline. The other trucks are just unreasonable. $80K for a Tundra, or $60K for a Tacoma? WTF!!!

Same, running a E5 2697 v4 (18C/36T) (Broadwell) that I bought used about 2 years ago. Also have a server running Ivy Bridge CPU.

I don’t game much, but this CPU is perfect for productivity type of work.

I’ve always thought that trying to address DEI from the top-down is never the right way to do it. This include college admissions. All it actually does is promote unfairness and a non-meritocracy. It takes many years of training to learn the skills needed for certain jobs. Hiring someone because of their skin color instead of their qualifications can actually hurt the bottom line (and top line) and just leads to more resentment. And it also really cheapens and damages the reputation of the minorities who actually worked and earned their way to their spot. Had a super smart Nigerian friend who is a medical doctor who finished very high up in rankings in medical school. But because of DEI policies, people will always wonder if he got to his place because of “quotas”.

The CCP doesn’t exist 400 years ago. The CCP is not China. That’s what they want you to think. It is really just a political faction that has taken the rest of the country hostage. For all I know the CCP members could be lizard people based on their inhumanity.

The ROC (originally KMT since it was also a one party state) has just as much rights to claim Taiwan as the CCP, and probably more, because they’ve actually ruled it.

China should just replicate Taiwan somewhere like they replicate Paris, Venice, etc. and call it a day.
