I don’t know when that was... Tours have been where bands actually made money for as long as I can remember and I have been around a while at this point.

Oh certainly and then some... I give Russia about a 50-50 chance at breaking up in the next few years. This war Putin started in Ukraine is exposing and expanding internal divisions.

Police state, Yikes! I don’t disagree on many things but come on... He knows he is in violation of the law and his agreement.

You may be correct on that but in general if they can see it from the road you are in trouble BUT your neighbors can request they check from their property, at that point not sure what the rules are. If they used a drone form the neighbor’s property he is out of luck. A warrant would have been the smart approach or…

I would bet on China having a significant chunk of Siberia in the next decade...

Agreed. Unmitigated disaster are the words I would use.

Except SpaceX has now shown a good deal of incompetence with their launch facilities and that had wide spread environmental impact. There is a reason NASA built the launch pads at Cape Canaveral so robustly for the Apollo launches.

So my team has been using ChatGPT since 3.0 was released for reference. It is a good starting point for an experienced programmer who can sort through the code. Sometimes the code is spot on but other times - just no. Stack Overflow is similar in that regard but the thing is other people can call out bad code/practice…

This is the VERY reason I always question outsourcing period: “Bringing production of electric vehicle motors, batteries and other components in-house was necessary to preserve jobs and to be competitive, Farley said.”

Pretty funny thread... Had me LMAO but in fairness I have liked him in the movies I have watched. Him as Tangerine was pretty funny in Bullet Train. (I know Bond is quite different.)

Who’s this “we”? You still listening to Herschel Walker too?

That’s what the Facebook Intellect doesn’t get. I bet if you hit it with a lethal to humans dose of a lot of things in the lab it would control it too. I am going to prove meth kills it in the lab and then start peddling that on Facebook - how long until I would get banned?
They call “libz” and scientists all sorts…

Except that if his cruiser gets pancaked you are also likely to get hurt or killed. Not to mention your car destroyed... I have always pull to a safe place. Most of the time I find an officer who appreciates it, but there are dicks too...

You are right and it is a simplistic slogan. There need to be more non-police filling the positions that police occupy today. Like mental health workers and others responding to incidents - like the police. The police do need to be de-militarized however. The militarization came from the 80s when the police were…

I had a 1986 2.3L Turbo Mercury Capri bubble back (for those that don’t remember it was when a Capri was a Mercury Mustang). I swear that speedometer went to 140. I had a bet with someone it couldn’t bury it - and we did.

Agreed - I am 6'3" and it is a royal pain to load things in trucks anymore - even things I can pick up or a couple guys can - small lawnmowers, rototillers, couch, etc. When you start talking stuff you have to wheel in I cringe. I loaded a 2003 Cobra rear end in my 2002 2500 HD with another guy - thing is HEAVY at…

Try the new Rams - they are worse than the GMs. It’s the 3/4 and 1 tons that are the worst. My 2016 RAM 1500 was FAR larger than my 2002 Chevy 2500HD. My 2017 Titan 1500 is just puny compared to the Big 3 + Toyota trucks...

Precisely! I was in an accident a few years ago primarily because a truck was sitting on my bumper headlights in my rear window with the brights on and after market bulbs that didn’t match the lenses. I was at a stop sign with a partially obstructed view and just totally blinded. As I pulled out I could see the car.…

They are restricted on size and weight and have been a long time. Lighter and stronger materials and things like thinner panels make a bigger vehicle possible. The tire size and suspension help make them taller as well. I think the size has become obscene however. Downright Stupid. These vehicles are unsafe for…

I have flown during this - for work. I did my homework before flying. The study itself is flawed in so many ways it isn’t even funny. It is based on unproven assumptions and no measure has been done. Of course United wants to prove how safe it is. But if your head is 2' from someone who is sick and you are both…
