people need to take a step back and look at who they are hurting with this and how realistic it is to expect people to just get rid of their car.
I think after reading @doughless@lemmy.world 's perspective, I'm certainly a bit more sympathetic. I guess I had a picture in my head about the economic status of the typical Tesla owner that they could probably afford to absorb the loss if they could afford the thing in the first place. I forgot we live in a world where you can finance everything, even your take-out, and that even luxury car owners might be living paycheque to paycheque.
That, and that there are probably quite a few people who got one for environmental reasons who don't deserve to be hurt for what was most likely an innocent mistake.
Here's the thing, if you own a Tesla, it's already been depreciated through elon's actions. You just haven't realised (in the accounting sense) the loss yet.
The fact is that they are being targeted, so selling now is a method of hedging your losses. The other option is to gamble that you won't be targeted.
I'm just about to make some scrambled tofu. It hits similar macros, flavour and texture to scrambled eggs:
1-2 tbsp cooking oil
One onion, sliced
Generous pinch of black salt (kalak nama) or just whatever cooking salt you use
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb medium-firm tofu
0.5 tsp tumeric
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp Italian spice, or thyme, or both
0.5 tsp chipotle powder, or other spicy capsicum powder
1-2 tsp nutritional yeast (optional)
1 tsp soy sauce
1 scallion to garnish
Cook the onion for a few minutes in the a skillet or large pan, then add the garlic and cook until starting to brown.
Crumble in the tofu, add the spices and cook on medium for ~10 mins, scraping off the pan bottom and flipping occasionally.
Deglaze with soy sauce and/or water. Serve (on toast) topped with scallions.
Notes:
Most Western people probably don't have kalak nama, but it really gives a nice sulphurous eggy flavour. Worth getting some if you like that and intended to make this regularly. It'll also keep forever.
if you prep the scallion before you start cooking, toss the whites in with the garlic, and save the green for garnish. I don't because it saves time to prep the scallion during step 2
you can go with a less firm or more firm tofu depending on how you like your scramble
It's kinda a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. If you follow the ABC (anything but conservative) "strategic" crowd, then you slowly push Canada towards a two party system. If you vote for someone who actually represents your political views, then you potentially help get PP elected.
This is why proportional representation is so important, and why I single-issue voted for Trudeau, as he promised to fix what is in my opinion the biggest problem with our current political system. The Liberals proved they can't be trusted to properly follow through on their promises, so I can't, in good conscience, give them my vote again until they prove themselves trustworthy.
I'm kinda conflicted about this. On the one hand, selling a car takes time and energy, and might not necessarily be feasible to do in just a few months, especially since the market for em is going to SUCK. On the other hand, if you continue to drive a car from a company owned by a literal Nazi once you know, then... well I don't feel too bad for you.
As curious as I was about my own ancestry, this is exactly why I never did it myself. Not that it matters, though. If any of your close relatives do it they'll have a near match for you as well.
The report, which crunched the numbers for all 50 states, is based on Pew Research’s definition of middle class: two-thirds to double the median household income.
This kinda strikes me as a bit of a disingenuous definition. Being middle class always struck me as having a moderate amount of disposable income after all regular life expenses.
If you're living in an expensive part of your state, you could well be above that 66% of median state income mark, but still be quite impoverished.
While I pretty much agree, I can definitely think of a few sporadic times doing sysadmin where things have gone so significantly wrong that an enforced sanity-check on every sudo command would have been appreciated.
"Frites" is a portmanteau of the words "French" and "frites", so it's still just "frites".
Incidentally, when translating the word "frites" to English, you can't be certain of how many instances of the word "French" you need to add, and the only way to be certain is to ask the original author. This has led to many difficulties in translating posthumous works.
though we would need a lot of community work for parity with Discord
Not sure if it was FUD or not, so please treat this as an unsubstantiated rumour, but I recall another lemming telling me that Matrix was quite insular and not very accepting of outside code contributions.
So if that's true, it could be a spanner in the gears.
