Is no one going to tell him that the proper contrasting Greek-derived prefixes would either be andro- / gyno- or phallo- / clitoro- ?

This could go really badly. Trump goes off the deep end, gets impeached or 25th amendment-ed. Vance takes over, and owes Elon a favor for putting him in power. Elon and tech bros have a president under their thumb who can stay in office until 2036 if they keep rigging elections. America is boned.

You think leaving his position should exonerate him for what he did there? That’s a weird take on this.

post
Still though, he should be in prison, preferably in El Salvador if that’s where we are sending immigrant criminals. I’m just saying it’s more likely that the cuts that were his idea were all the agencies who might investigate him or terminate contracts with his companies.

Not to defend him, but what did Elon get out of wrecking USAID? Is it possible that he was asked to do that by someone else in that wretched hive of scum and villainy? (Continued)

If Trump thought the contracts were a waste and Biden should have cancelled them, why would he have picked Elon to be the head guy going after waste?
Please tell me no one is stupid enough to take him seriously.
Spoiler: MAGA morons are.

I just wish they’d give us the option to retire in a safe Hyrule with no monsters after we defeat the big bad, instead of resetting back to before the final fight.

I think it’s highly unlikely, but some form of “not life as we know it” might theoretically be possible. We wouldn’t really know what metabolic signals to be looking for, so we could be missing them.

Yep, I think those numbers are old. Isn’t Musk’s hoard over $300b by itself?

What if the sailors all just keep using the original name, like all the sane people do for the Gulf of Mexico?

“OMG it’s giving David Byrne” was my first thought before scrolling down far enough to see your comment.

Yes! And it helps that he was actually fit, and didn’t need to have his doctor lie about his height and weight.

He never has. But he still doesn’t, either.

Of course not. Zelenskyy isn’t a moron, why would he tell a Russian asset anything about a planned attack?

I was with you until the parenthetical bit. Edison also bought or stole most of his good ideas and was way more successful at publicity stunts and bribery than actually creating anything of value.

So, you’ve invested billions in things built by helicopters and then ruined them? 🤣

Luigi’s life was already ruined. Hard to blame him for seeking justice the only way left for him by our broken systems.

So what you’re saying is something like, despite all my rage, I am still just a rat, in a cage?

21,000,000 million people? Or 21 trillion people? 3000 times the current population of Earth?

The blueshift is probably extreme enough once you near the horizon that most of the light hitting you is x rays. It won’t be a pleasant experience; thankfully it won’t last long either.
comment in response to

Light coming from the rest of the universe would definitely be blue shifted increasingly as you get closer. Light from the accretion disk would be blueshifted on one side and redshifted on the other due to rotation, in addition to any blueshift caused by your velocity toward the hole. (Continued)

Thanks for that, I was going to post something similar. The vast majority of auto insurance claims in the US are settled and paid in a matter of days. It’s when there are injuries and lawyers involved that things can drag out.

So any number you see that purports to show how much tariffs affect the cost of things you buy is likely to be underestimated.
comment in response to
post
That’s something to keep in mind.. a business might know how much tariffs cost them on things they import directly, but maybe not how much tariffs are impacting the prices of things they buy from other companies who in turn import raw materials or whatever. (Continued…)

Yeah, I wish that hadn’t happened, but so far it hasn’t had any negative impact on the service. I think they are still less awful than Verizon or AT&T.

Mint Mobile is good. Reasonable prices, simple plan structures, decent service, and you get Christmas cards from Ryan Reynolds.

It’s as cheap as 2.44/gallon near me, but quite often those lowest prices on gas buddy turn out to be wrong when you get to the station.

Pedophile, rapist, felon, traitor… so many great descriptive words, it’s hard to choose just one. Best of all, none of them are physical attributes he can’t control. They are all words that describe him because of the choices he has made.

Fair point; if government is going to subsidize food production, it should be healthy food, and done on a way that ensures people can afford to eat healthy. And it would be great if there were packaged meals that weren’t terrible nutritionally.

I’M FIERCE!! 🤣

Americans generally eat too much salt, sugar, and saturated fats, and it’s bad for our hearts. The “processing” isn’t the problem, it’s the additives. A simple program of educating people about healthy eating and requiring businesses to disclose nutritional information would be good.
comment in response to
post
So many of the new “healthy” eating places popping up everywhere lately selling wraps are basically doing just that. Their things are as full of salt, fats, and sugar as a fast food burger.

Absolutely. In fact, it’s in the CEOs’ best interests to do that anyway, but they’d have to not be worse than literal fascist Henry Ford to realize that.
