Exactly what I was going to chip in with - plus the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform going Ka-BOOM in the Gulf of Mexico and causing unprecedented environmental damages. Then this bunch of deregulatory morons comes along and un-dos all the Obama era regulations on offshore drilling because PROFITS.
Those weren’t experiments. Those are the baseline.
“... your weird friend on the day after a poorly-chosen haircut experiment”
Remember - all that violence that Trump says could happen if Biden becomes president actually is happening while Trump is President.
You take a break from it, you fall way, way behind.
I’ve been trying to get a COVID test for the past few days and I had no idea how difficult it still was.
A report from the Bureau of Justice Statistics shows that Black people are 5.2 percent more likely to experience threats of use of force than white people.
apparently about $800 a month worth
I first encountered Daniel Stern online in the early-mid 1990s on usenet in either rec.autos.driving or rec.autos.tech or one of the more specialized groups in the rec.autos hierarchy. This was before the world wide web reached any sort of significant usage level. At that time if memory serves me correctly he was…
True, maybe in the future but definitely not today.
Many sectors simply won’t work properly without the energy density of hydrocarbons. A 2500ton airliner simply won’t fly, or if it does be too large for any airport. Same problem for road- and seafreight.
I think this is a huge problem for them. I bought an ‘09 Sportster for 40% of the price of a new one last year (not completely sure why, I’m really a BMW / Triumph guy at heart, but I was curious). It had under 7k miles on it. Harley hasn’t evolved the platform at all, in any meaningful way since 2003. If anything,…
Bean Counter probably hated the plan and refused to be complicit. When they changed out the CEO and then went with the old plan and the hackneyed round of restructuring, Bean Counter is probably the one guy in the room that was like “We’re doing what now? Nah, screw it, I’m out”
EMC “ElectroMagnetic Compatibility” testing is pretty standard for electronics and isn’t bullshit. Every piece of electronics that you have with CE marked on it has been tested this way. The reason for testing is for safety of equipment, not due to ionizing radiation (though ionizing radiation danger is covered under…
I’m actually relieved for George that he departed the mad house before this particular chapter. I can’r even imagine how massive a heart attack he would have suffered and I’m not sure he’d find any of this shit funny anymore.
Ardent nationalism requires ardent ignorance.
The issue is that the PPP should have never gone to businesses. It should have gone to consumers.
It’s not truck hate. Trucks are very useful and practical machines that deserve love. This is not a truck. It can’t do anything that trucks can do. It’s too tall to load anything in the bed, and has the wrong suspension for towing. It’s set up for off-roading, but is too big, too good of shape, and too expensive…
there is no excuse for NP on this truck. go to your room and think about the carnage you have wrought upon this world.
