Conservatives, personal liberties. Right.

This is the key problem that seems to be getting buried everywhere

The big challenge has been that humanitarian convoys have stopped carrying the aid from the pier’s storage area further into Gaza, to get it into civilian hands, because they have come under attack.

If we're not worrying about the cost of the pier, which I don't think the Left is at all, then it's really not about the storms and the maintenance that's needed to keep it operational.

The problem is Isreal is still functionally blocking the aid from reaching the people.

So why spend so many resources on this pier and put your people at risk, when distribution of the delivered aid is blockaded the same as the land aid.

It's weird that they don't really address the biggest reason Googles algorithm is worse now. The rampant exploitation of SEO.

Bad actors abuse the system in an attempt to be the first result, regardless of relevancy. It's harder for Google to sift the chaff out than it used to be, because they're flooded with content claiming to be related to the search keys.

Yeah, their older 2000s Odyssey could fit sheet goods fine. The newer models are slightly narrower, just enough to cause me grief.

8' bed would be ideal for me, but even 6' is fine with the wood resting on the raised tailgate for an easy tie down + flag.

I've borrowed my parents minivan for this in the past, but their newer Odyssey (~8yr old) doesn't even fit sheet goods without going diagonal, which causes problems. Plus even with care, it inevitably scratches up the interior.

I'd rather have a medium to small sized truck with a standard to extended bed. I don't care about scratches or dents, so can just toss things in without a worry, and can load without even lowering the tailgate.

No, it's an extended cab model, which have tiny beds. Like, you can't even fit standard construction material (8ft) in it with the tailgate down without it sticking out well past the tailgate.

Yes, trucks are longer than they used to be, but extended cabs are far more common than they were. Living in a city, the vast majority of trucks are extended cabs with tiny beds.

They're basically SUVs with an open trunk. Enough room for a tool chest and a cooler, and you'll need to hitch a trailer if you actually want to haul anything.

I'm also in the market for a truck to enable a woodworking hobby. Basic requirement is being able to haul sheet material (4' wide) with no fuss.

Even 20 year old beaters are going for over 10k in my area.

Anything in the last 10 years or so is bloated. Even the smallest models like Tacomas are ridiculously sized, yet have tiny beds.

The SEC won't get additional funding, so they'll necessarily have to let all but the highest priority cases go because they don't have enough resources to take everything to court.

This is exactly what the Republicans want. It's exactly what they did to IRS. Create more work for them and starve them at the same time, so that their corporate puppetmasters can get away with whatever they want, and the few times they do get taken to court, they can throw their big team of lawyers at it, drag it out, and make it not worth pursuing.

This is by design. This is their goal. And I'm certain that SCOTUS colluded with the lower courts to deliver this case to them with a bow tie.

You over estimate the US public. Viewer numbers will probably by abysmal, and the vast majority of voters will only be seeing bias confirming short clips.

The mic mute is not a perfect solution. Trump is going to be shouting over Bidens turn. We won't hear it (much), but it's going to make Biden lose his train of thought and stutter while the viewer can't really tell Trump is screeching 20ft away

But are they allowed to roll out some recliners for a quick grandpa nap?

I take Magnesium Citrate because I get frequent foot cramps, and it helps reduce them a little. Foot cramps aren't life threatening besides i guess the small increase in risk when it occasionally happens while driving.

But they're certainly annoying.

Oh don't worry, they'll reverse this decision if the Republicans get control again.

Precedent only matters when it affirms their goal. Even if it's their own precedent, they will find some paper thin excuse to change it.

And yes, I'm aware they'll need a new case to reach them before they can overturn anything. That's why the conservative SCOTUS members actively collude with the conservative groups that cherry pick / manufacture cases to take to court and then push up the appeals courts so they eventually reach the SCOTUS.

Yeah, but I don't think EVs have spark plugs to smash and use to break the windows. Checkmate.

Yeah, that's fucking stupid, and requires the electronics to not be damaged in whatever emergency situation you've found yourself in to require this external battery override solution.

My wife's EV has a tiny key that comes out of the dongle, and has a tiny hidden keyhole under the handle.

I had to Google to find it, but it's sufficient if power is out. It's a mechanical lock mechanism like cars have had for a century. As it should be.

Most expensive early access beta with pre-order ever. Tesla is the EA of cars.

And the timespan of the increased cost of everything.

Since the pandemic, construction ply more than tripled in price and isn't going down.

That's insane. Income can't keep up with that.

It's almost like they don't give a shit unless their media actively makes them the boogeyman.

If progressives weren't behind Trans, the Right would go back to demonizing LGB. Wherever that line of culture war is, they will whip their base into a frenzy over it. Of they win the fight against Trans, suddenly the vast majority of Republicans would hate gays again in time for elections.

Ohh look. It's the guy that turns every news/politics article into a "both sides" argument to try to specifically disenfranchise left voters, and is mysteriously silent in all those articles quoting Trump saying he'll enable both Russia and Isreal in their genocides.

Don't fall for his crap. He's only here to point fingers at Dems, never Republicans.

He's here to help Trump get elected.

He is either part of the Russian / Isreali propaganda he's trying to frame as bad here, or a useful idiot that has bought into said propaganda.
