I kinda want to swap a classic car onto a Tesla chassis, while removing anything with Tesla code. No idea if it's even possible.

Really? As an American who had never ridden a train before, I was impressed by Germany's public transit. I remember wishing we had such systems everywhere over here.

Honestly though, I'd prefer high speed mag-lev systems that run like clockwork.

But can one be an HOA president without being a pedophile?

It'll be a long time before I find this shit funny.

It was a stupid mistake, wasn't it?

Akshually it's called a frunk like anybody gives a shit.

All I have is a couple dozen gallons of gasoline. But it'll do more good on him than in my truck.

That's our money, every penny.

If you care so much Marc, prove it.

Yep, seems the safer gamble to me. At least I'll be happier than renting.

And why should I be confident that any of that is going to survive the next 4 years?

I'm not afraid of risk. I just spent the last month watching a couple of the world's worst narcissists disassemble my government with ease so that they could loot us for every penny they can steal. They're trying to kill every agency that benefits the public, including the one where I get my healthcare. These men are unfit to manage a fast food joint, but now they've got the planet's #1 nuclear power by the throat. I weighed the probabilities and the penalties, then made my decision. I'd rather have the money now. I no longer expect to grow old.

Why should I be confident that our recent economy will survive? I pulled my money out before they could collapse the entire house of cards. I'm now in the process of buying remote land with a house on it. I plan to put up a few greenhouses and raise chickens and goats. I'll provide shelter to persecuted people in need. Try to live solarpunk while we can.

It was. Is there a good reason why I should be confident that the money will still be there IF I get to retire? Should I expect even to live that long? I feel it's better invested in a house and land out near the middle of nowhere.

I already pulled my retirement.

I've seen all our known planets with my own eyes, including Pluto. Not many can say that.

Also, while leaning against a rail one morning; groggy, motionless, and unsuspecting, I once had a wild songbird land on my finger. When I felt the grip of strong tiny claws, I screamed and hurled it back into the sky.

I believe that still technically makes me a Disney princess.

Out of chicks at the local farm stores too.

How very neutral of him.

And sinking any remaining yachts.

Russia can't win a war against one smaller neighbour with everything it has. Putin cannot handle a dogpile. He also has to concern himself with nukes.

Spin up your production. Buy a bunch of our ammo. It'll be in better hands.

Europe isn't alone. Ukraine has your back.

I read the Bible. I watched the way believers treated others, and learned how they saw the world. I realized how poorly adjusted I was for interacting with anyone besides other believers. I left the church and learned how to become a better person. It was a tremendous amount of humbling work, and frankly, I'd rather have learned it earlier.
