Pretty much. Most administrations historically try to use the US spying power, financial power, ect. prudently. Trump has taken every little advantage we have over other countries (especially financial institutions) and put the screws to everyone. A century of trust building pissed away for his personal gain and random grievances. Not saying no one else did this, but several magnitudes less.
People and groups generally are not inherently evil, and if you pay a little bit of attention, their actions are almost always logical to them (even if they are evil actions).
A lot of people might think they agree with that…but start naming people and groups and they will call you names pretty quickly.
Screw these guys. US automakers have basically abandoned any attempt to build an affordable, small, electric car leaving a giant gap for the Chinese to fill, and we would all be better off if they did.
I’ve owned a Chevy bolt for 4 years and love it, but Chevy/GM keeps trying to kill it (2nd cancellation in mid 2027) and move everybody to an electric Equinox. If they don’t want to build small affordable (hopefully electric) cars, screw them, no sympathy. They clearly know people would buy these Chinese electrics.
I consider myself somewhat of a LLM.
It’s crazy to me how much money these companies can make off of human attention. Trying to inhabit places that doesn’t have monetary value.
Yep. Sick of giant phones. Crazy hard to find a small phone with decent specs.
A lot of duel dimensioned drawings when you are interfacing.
I just have to be able to convert back and forth, sometimes in a single sentence: “we are using a 500mm X 450mm base made from 1/16” sheet metal."
My last project in aerospace with 100’s of people was mostly Imperial. There is a lot of mixing of units and you can basically design your subsystem however you want. There was a mandate decades ago to go metric, but that has largely been ignored. It’s the worst of both worlds!
My current project is just a couple people, so I mandated all metric. I have to spend a lot of money on tooling, but it is largely fine. I would say 10 years ago getting some fancy aerospace grade fasteners was easier in Imperial, less so today.
My mind still defaults to Imperial for very small dimensions like a 8 thou gap or something.
Seems like he is anti monopoly.
Why not both.
There were almost a million investors. I am sure there were dozens or hundreds that used Trump coin for a bribe…but that still leave about a million investors.
I don’t think this is a partisan issue, but I do understand that Trumpism defies strongly help political beliefs.
No prosecutor wants to take that case to a jury.
You got me. I definitely did exactly that, and it is not a strawman argument at all. Good one. Hope you play as well as you argue.
I enjoy Kobo after switching from Kindle 2 years ago.
I originally bought it to stop giving Bezos money and because Kobo promised bookshop.org support (money goes to local bookshops). This is still pending and extremely disappointing. It is easy to get books from Libraries (Libby), Kobo store, or add them through the cloud like Google Drive and other options. Libby support is pretty important to me. I basically only pay for 10% of my books now, but the library rentals still support the authors.
I’m proud of you for being a musician. As a fellow musician I understand that when I play at a venue where people on not there to specifically hear my band play, we play at a completely different volume and take more breaks. Because people hate a random band dominating the random bar they chose to go to in order to talk to their friends.
It kinda sounds like you don’t have great musician etiquette and some main character syndrome.
I should have mentioned this was at a public park with hundreds of people, no one asked or hired the dude to be there, and he was playing shitty music loud enough that you could not here the explosions. If you did that, you are also terrible.
Someone blasted their playlist during a citywide fireworks display…why would I want to hear the explosions.
They diluted the stock 3.4% in less than a week of trading 🤣. Invest with Musk at your own risk.
I’ve only driven an electric car for the last 4 years with an 65 mile daily commute. I save ~$1000 a year on electricity vs gas. My affordable electric accelerates way faster than my previous turbocharged Audi A4.
But the best part is, I never have to go to a gas station.
Depends. It is way often more right than it is wrong, however if you have a long enough chat, the chance that it produces a falsehood approaches 100%. Of course humans produce errors too.
