The fact this is literally the 2nd story this week of Nazi shitheads openly waving their flags around is a good indicator it's not going to take nearly that long.

Oh, I can totally believe it. Ethiopian food is so damn filling, while not being insanely calorie dense like a lot of what we're used to in the US. Beans and veggies are filling but not calorie dense, so just adding more of those, even cheap canned ones to your diet can make it much easier to lose weight. I had a buddy that lost almost 30lbs in college literally just by replacing a meal with a can or two of green beans and hot sauce every day for a couple of months. He's managed to keep it off too, as it helped him realize just how much more his hunger was sated by a couple 60cal cans of beans vs some huge 800 calorie meal from Taco Bell, which was his preferred junk food of choice at the time. Fun fact, it also works extremely well on overweight dogs, minus the hot sauce.

!Is Deadpool and Wolverine canon?!<

I'm 29 and this is already the case. A lot of the early 2000s internet is already getting hard to find, and even a lot of early YouTube feels like it's been scrubbed clean, or had stuff auto-muted/removed due to copyright that drastically affects the content. Not to mention all the flash animations and whatnot that might not have made it to somewhere as big as Newgrounds. There's a lot of stuff I remember watching that seems to be utterly lost

How much are we considering earlier Marvel as part of the MCU? Because even though it was before Iron Man/Hulk and the official "start" of the current MCU, a lot of people seem to forget that the Blade Trilogy existed...

As someone who recently came out, I was kinda hoping that this would be here. It is a pretty wild thought

Having seen how my buddy lives with his family being in the ~$100M net worth range and them overall being quite modest people, I'd 100% believe someone well above that and/or wanting to flaunt their wealth in a stupidly ostentatious manner would put a pool in their kid's room.

Very, very broadly, I'd say a lot of my concerns boil down to them convincing the broader industry as a whole that cutting costs and delivering a shit product is okay, so long as you're doing it as a "technology company"

• Pushing out buggy, half-baked SW because "we'll fix it with an OTA" and a recall has little to no direct financial impact, allowing for you to gamble lives on hopefully getting a SW update out before the bugs cause accidents or deaths, rather than spending the time/money to get it right from the start.
• Removing stuff like important, standard hard controls (buttons/stalks/etc) to make everything a touch control, purely for cost cutting, but acting like it's because buttons are "old tech"
• Pushing that 100% BEV is the only current solution, rather than pushing for a far cheaper mass improvement of fuel economy and scaling BEVs as HEVs grow too, especially in developing markets.
• Using a proprietary charging standard for nearly a decade, solely as a sales tactic, and only cooperating with other OEMs once it allowed them to collect government subsidies

Those are just a few I can think of off the very top of my head, and the ones I've seen have the most impact on the broader industry. I can go into more detail on any of them as well.

As someone who works in the industry, and done plenty of work for Tesla, I can create a far greater list of all the things they've fucked up in the industry, including electrification.

I'm repeating 2016, if I pregame all night, then as results come in I'm drinking whether I'm celebrating or coping.

This is me, but with my own emails. Even something like "Have a great day." just reads like a "Go fuck yourself" in my head, regardless of context, and so I tend to overuse exclamation points to make the tone very clear. I've very much got the 'tism, so having clarifying punctuation and even the more accepted use of emoji in work communications has been an absolute blessing for me not immediately assuming the worst in a work communique.

The thing is that you don't need FSD to do that. Having a really good AEB system massively improves safety, far more than a convenience feature like FSD does, but they fucked that up by taking the radar out so now it performs far worse at night, hence running over pedestrians and other VRUs far more often.

But you can't grift billions out of investors by having a really good safety feature, so you hack together a system from hardware only ever originally only meant for adaptive cruise and lane keeping, and tech bros can show off on YouTube and hopefully not run over a cyclist, all to keep that grift rolling

This is legitimately one of the real reasons Musk is pushing for Trump so hard. NHTSA (and all the other regulatory agencies) were effectively gutted completely by the Trump admin and it's basically the entire reason Elon could grift his way to where he is today. The moment Biden got into office, basically every single agency in existence began investigating him and pushing blocks out of the proverbial Jenga tower of the various Musk companies. He's praying that Trump will get elected and allow him to keep grifting, because otherwise he's almost definitely going to jail, or at a minimum losing the vast majority of his empire.

There was a show I remember way back called "Testees" where it followed a couple of guys who were human Guinea pigs for some pharma company. Each episode was generally about some new drug and the horrible/hilarious side effects and shenanigans that would ensue. There was also a 3rd guy who was basically Frank from It's Always Sunny, and the B plot would flow him sometimes. In one episode, the company actually makes a penis enlargement pill that works, however a little too well. It's so big that every time he gets an erection, he blacks out from the drop in blood pressure. Been a while since I've thought of that show lol.

When you look at the regulatory environment and enforcement under the Trump admin, even before they were best buds, it's very clear that Elon is absolutely terrified of a Harris administration. The moment Biden took office, he was almost instantly under investigation from basically every letter agency in the USA, and they've been slowly chipping away at his Jenga tower of fraud. He sees Trump as the only way to hold on to his ill-gotten gains and avoid a prison cell.

You don't know why someone is speeding, and it's not your job to enforce traffic laws. There was a story I remember reading a while back of someone's friend having a chainsaw accident, and them watching their friend bleed out in their car because some dumb piece of shit figured they'd play traffic cop and blocked them in traffic. If you see someone driving aggressively, just assume they're driving that way because they're about to shit their pants, and let them go on their merry way. Report them if you want, but don't endanger yourself and others trying to be a "hero"

Clearly you've never spent an hour+ on a bus with someone watching TikTok on a fucking Bluetooth speaker.

Just because it's not publicly traded, doesn't mean that there isn't stock nor that there's no market. Usually, you can technically still buy/sell the stock, just not as a random member of the public on a public stock exchange like the NYSE or FTSE.

Or just pull this fuse for the module?
