Correct - not direct drive, but seems like that’s not really a necessary goal for most of us. If you really need to be able to just drive non stop all day while the sun is out, I don’t think that’s been solved yet (would still have to stop for gas even).
Your next Halloween candy purchase:
Just gonna leave this here:
Sorry - totally understand and didn’t mean to be dismissive of your situation.
Don’t lose hope because of the rantings of a lunatic. There are lots of us here that support you for who you are (provided you’re not an asshole or bigot) and don’t forget to be who you’re supposed to be. I’ve had some very unpleasant interactions with people that I had to realize just weren’t worth me thinking about. No need to let those assholes live rent free in your head.
Electing that shit ain’t goin’ so well for us down south here. Canada, don’t let us down and make the same dumbass mistake.
How many times has he bragged about his attendance numbers? I believe by my count that would be zero.
Who says he actually goes to a real doctor? Probably sees some crystal therapy guru or something like that.
I dumped Adobe completely several years ago, and found that Pixelmator has been an excellent Photoshop replacement. It even now does vector images - used to use an app called Graphic for that (for an Illustrator replacement), but should now be able to do all of that from Pixelmator.
Brenter? Brundo? Brtl-Z? I know there’s a gem of a name for this out there somewhere…
No disagreement about the wildfire season coming up, but “all of LA” didn’t burn down. Bit of hyperbole. Definitely some structure loss (especially in Palisades fire) and lots of burn scar in the wilderness areas adjacent, but LA is huge.
Have seen a few of these and they are great (Michael Snyder for California and the PNW), but unfortunately they all get their data from the same place: NWS. They are the ones launching the balloons, collecting that data daily, and running weather models for everyone else to then interpret. Slashing the NWS is simply one of the most idiotic things to happen yet during this whole circus. Sorry - rant over (I fly paragliders so weather forecasts are important to my own self interests).
Speak for yourself, but there are a whole lot of us here that don’t want anything he’s selling. Not all of us have been “groomed to accept everything from their perceived leader.” Also a lot of us that are genuinely embarrassed about his actions and their impacts on the rest of the world and want it to stop nowish.
My personal guess (just a guess, since none of this makes any logical sense) is that he’s going to use the very high tariffs on those islands to help him with some creative accounting in showing overall wins when all of this is over - increasing the pittance that these islands are likely paying us already, let’s call it turning $100 into $150 - no meaningful benefit to the US, but looks amazing by the percentages.
“See, I tariff’d the whole world for a 5.5 gajillion percent increase in US revenue! I’m a big winner!”
The primary is the time to vote for the candidate you believe in. The general is for whichever aligns better (not perfectly, but better) with your interests. Not that hard.
Ahhhhh - that IBM Model 50 keyboard. Loud AF, and could drive a truck over it. Was my first and the feel of it was great.
I miss the heyday of BBSs and IRC. That’s when the internet was fun, and tinkering brought new discoveries every day. Now it’s mostly just annoying.
USian here: make it really expensive for us, Europe. We deserve it and it’s the only way we’ll learn.
That was his brother, Jimmy “Beans” Levi-Strauss
That was a beautiful, poetic sentence.
