Knew enough to understand slavery is bad

Eh, idk. I'm sure there's smart people doing cool things at Starlink, but the actual product itself is basically a brute force approach to Internet access with a ton of downsides

Look through the manual to see if there's a way to adjust the angle of your lights, or take it into a service center to see if they can adjust it. I've never owned a Tesla so I can't speak on that with any certainty, but all the other cars I've driven have had relatively easy ways to adjust the headlight angle.

Our problem is not that we drive small cars (I drive a Focus). It's that newer vehicles are enormous, usually for no reason.

Nearly every time I get on the highway, I'm tailgated by someone in some newer massive SUV where the headlights are at the same height as my rear view mirror. I don't understand why those vehicles are allowed to operate on the same roads as me. They aren't safe. By default, stock, out of the factory, they blind the other drivers in reasonable cars. I can't imagine what getting into a wreck with one would do to my car (and me in it).

presidents don't have unilateral power, and members of the president's party can do and say things different from the president

This is how American politics has worked for hundreds of years. Yes, the president (really the executive branch) holds a lot of power. So do the other two branches of government. One branch can't really do anything without working with the other two, which means that compromise is a frequent theme throughout the history of American politics.

Alright bud, it's obvious you're just interested in being a contrarian and not actual productive conversation, so see ya 👉

And? Despite what Trump says, presidents don't have unilateral power, and members of the president's party can do and say things different from the president

You know that Kamala isn't the only Democrat in existence right

First of all, follow the thread brother, I'm not the same person you originally replied to.

Second of all, this article is just as much about capitalism as it is about "tech". If you actually read the article and just thought "this is just about tech" and not "this is about tech and how it has leaked unnecessarily into nearly every transaction", then IDK what to tell you

How was that your takeaway from this thread

The angry drunk is actually the police man

I... Honestly don't think Musk is smart/aware enough to actually do that. I think he'll try to be a weasel, but I have confidence that Stewart could get something juicy out of him.

If they have the ability to accurately detect/enforce any of that, I'd be way more impressed with their fingerprinting techniques than any of the hardware they're selling

In a lot of these cases, the money has already been paid for these contracts*. "Cutting" them isn't even saving any money, because the money has already been spent.

Man, you've really eaten all the propaganda huh? Leave some for the rest of us man

I think you misunderstand me. We likely aren't getting the chance to vote again. That's my point, that's it. I'm not trying to place blame, I'm not trying to fix anything, I'm not raging or grandstanding, I'm merely making a prediction. Which is that because Trump won the election, that's the last real election we'll have.

Sure, yeah, whatever, place blame where you want to. Doesn't change the fact that "getting to vote" is better than "not getting to vote"

It's basically the same concept, just implemented with a k8s cluster so you have scale-to-zero capabilities I guess

Voting under duress seems like a better option than not voting though
