  • Last I checked (just now), US representatives make $174K/year. They're not allowed to keep donations for themselves and I can't find mention of any additional pay packages.

    Can you show me where this additional $126K is coming from?

  • I don't know, detailed knowledge about animal scrotums could be useful at the right parties.

  • Seriously, the cyber truck is an embarrassment. The only positive thing I can say about its design is at least it doesn't have a tall, blunt front end that minimizes pedestrian visibility while maximizing pedestrian fatality, as seems to be the current trend.

  • Do you have any sources for "basically it's almost ensured that most multicellular life is toast" or is this supposition? I'm a biologist and, while I think anthropogenic climate change is an extreme threat, have yet to see even the most extreme projections getting us anywhere near what you're suggesting.

  • Imagine snowballing Trump's load with Jeff Bezos. That pay better be pretty fucking high.

  • All commercial AIs are filled with censorship. What's interesting about it is learning what different societies think is worth censoring and how they censor it.

  • Right to work means non-union employees can't be forced to pay dues in a unionized workplace. It has nothing to do with at-will employment, which allows an employer to terminate an employee without cause at any time.

    The only non-at-will state is Montana.

  • I didn't get to it, but I haven't forgotten. I'm shooting for Thursday. This week has been a whirlwind.

  • Aww, thanks! I'm kinda regretting not naming it oneninesix, but here we are. I guess I love letters.

    If you're interested in modding or want to provide some feedback/suggestions/anything, PLEASE hop over and let me know in the comments or by PM.

  • Same, I'd much rather not have a break in content continuity and I'm ambivalent on being a mod.

  • Agreed, getting this back is much more preferable. I tried 197-1 but the - was problematic.

  • I'm there with you. We bought the first Model S Refresh. We knew he was a piece of shit then, but the same could be said of any automotive CEO. Then he rapidly got worse and now it's my shame mobile. I actually love the car, but I feel so fucking gross driving it.

  • Is a complete lack of self awareness heritable? Are they going to breed a race of super clueless whities with bad eyesight?

  • Dude, you just made my evening. I have an ad-riddled Kindle that's now going to get an upgrade today!

  • Word. I bought enough safety razor blades for likely the rest of my life for about $75 (on sale)
