Homer Simpson at least had the intent of making a car that would meet the needs of his imagined consumer. I don't know who the hell this truck was designed for.

That is insane. The "brake lights" are effectively just the regular tail lights turning OFF and being replaced with smaller less bright lights. That is stupid.

You can log into like 5 accounts and basically put anything you want to the top of any comment chain given how low the total vote numbers on lemmy tend to be. An actual astroturfing group could curate the entire front page for pennies.

Being against blowing up innocent people in their homes is about as far from "pro hamas" as you can be.

This guy isn't planning past his own lifetime. Those kids will be someone eases problem. He just wants to make sure that he gets every penny he is due and that means they need more wage slaves.

This guy is exactly the kind of person that the GOP considers a "good guy with a gun". He is a mentally ill veteran firearms instructor. Sounds like a boilerplate Trump supporter. Exactly who they want to have more guns.

Not very many people have argued that people who have actually made violent threats and been institutionalized should be buying guns.

This one shooter is likely to nearly match the TOTAL homicide rate for Maine last year (30). I think that when a state is looking at HALF THIER TOTAL MURDERS being from a mass shooting event, its time to stop treating them as an insignificant aberration and as a legitimate contributor to overall violence.

Are you seriously suggesting that a company (tesla) that does 50 billion in sales is NOT worth three times the value a company that does 250 billion (toyota)?

The Tesla valuation is such a fucking joke. They are a "bigger" company that Toyota, Honda, or Ford despite not even doing a fraction of their outright sales, and likely making less on every single one of those sales. Their only advantage is that they were making electric cars before it made economic sense to make them. Now that everyone else is jumping in they are going to die on the vine because people can get a real EV that costs half of a Tesla and actually works.

Tesla DID have a chance of leveraging their early market presence by either introducing a higher quality or cheaper vehicle that could compete with their new competitors. Their existing presence could have captured enough of the market to stand against them if they had a product that was in the same league. Instead they made the fucking Cybertruck.

How? She collected money for her legal defense and she undoubtedly spent it on exactly that in order to negotiate this deal. If people thought that donating to her was going to force her to lie on Trump's behalf then they are fucking morons who get "defrauded" every time they walk out their door because they are too stupid to manage any expenses.

How could it be fraud? She collected money for HER legal defense, not to support going to jail on behalf of Trump. If people thought that donating to her was paying for her to lie for Trump then they are fucking stupid. She undoubtedly has and/or will incur this much in legal costs over the course of this.

In this case, they managed to delay the bill long enough that they now have a bunch of programs in place to actually profit from third-party repairs of their devices. This gives them an advantage over their competitors, so they are now in support of this bill.

They had the choice of not doing business in California, which is what they had threatened to do with previous right-to-repair and other consumer protection laws. In this case, they found a way to make money off it if so they are supportive of this bill now since they have successfully delayed it long enough to have an advantage over their competitors.

Yes, its totally unreasonable for people to conclude that a person who self-identifies as "Chinese" is from China.

Also some speculation that the cats might have been stolen

Almost has to be the case. There is a reason no one farms cats as meat, they are obligate carnivores that will eat more meat than they ever produce. It isn't economical to produce cats for meat if you have to actually feed them. It only makes sense to "harvest" them wild on the streets or from kitten mills, shelters, vets, wherever you find spare cats in China.

Framing animals for meat only really makes sense if those animals eat lower on the food chain. Turning grass / grains into meat makes sense. Turning meat into meat doesn't, especially since the cats would pretty much have to be eating more desirable meat that they produce. Imagine feeding pork, fish, and chicken to cats in order to make cat meat.

I doubt they are farming the cats so much as collecting them from the streets and everywhere else.

Kind of amazing the sort of lifestyle these justices live, given that their actual PAY is in the senior-coder range (mid 200K).

Its almost like they have all manner of other sources of income.

Super weird that he just totally forgot to pay it and they totally forgot to collect it. Wonder why that never happens with any of my loans?

Gonna be hard when she is in a court room and actually has to tell the truth.
