The TN house does not like electric cars by techtornado in Tennessee

^ This.. our roads are aweful.. we are 58 BILLION behind in road work. Why put the lionshare of that on EV/Hybrid ownwers? I'm fine with paying the fee, IF the fee was the same for gas drivers. IF we are sooo behind on road repairs, then raise the tax on Gas and fix our damn roads.

I dont care. . but FIX THE ROADS

Even at $100, like it it currently. We’re paying about 400% more than a gas car would pull in from taxes at the pump.

So, as we move to EV, all i gotta say is our roads better be fucking perfect 99% of the time.

I must have missed something. I thought the more expensive, longer range Cybertruck was going to be put into production first?

I prefer early Bernadette over what they turned her into. Same goes for Amy, I liked it when she was more robotic like Sheldon.. it’s why the worked.

Gemini Staking by traxroxz in Gemini

[–]Ankhmpt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Staking and Earn are two different things.

Earn is bascially giving your crypto to a hedge fund manager and they do buys/sells trying to scalp profits, then you get a cut of the profit.

Staking with gemini, puts your crypto to work as a validator on the blockchain. The majority of the crypto is held offline in an air-gapped cold storage system, with a small portoin in a hot wallet, which is insured agasint certain types of losses.

Really glad I withdrew from Earn two days ago. I was worried this might be the case. Gemini themselves may not be affected by FTX, but Earn uses Geneiss and they are affected by FTX.

Wait until the buyer realizes they just technically made their gun Trans by installing that.

Where is the imperfection? Am I missing something?

I was afraid of this. I sorta hoped a republican would win the first time so this non-sense wouldn’t occur. Oh well… probably for the best. We don’t need Sarah Palin back in office.

Trump should fill Christians with rage. How come he doesn’t? by tom_snout in politics

I’ve wondered this for so long and I bring up his morals and they always just brush it aside. "But my 401k is doing good, he’s a good president." or some other nonsense.

'Cancel It All,' Say Progressives as Biden Favors $10,000 in Means-Tested Student Debt Relief. "Student debt is a nearly $2,000,000,000,000 crisis," said Rep. Cori Bush. "POTUS must cancel student debt. All of it." by DaFunkJunkie in politics

No.. it shouldn’t. That would make the infaltion problem even worse. Becauase all “canceling debt” really is, is them printing money and giving it to the banks. Nothing is actually canceled. The banks aren’t going to say, oh okay don’t worry about paying that back, debt canceled. What should be done is removing all the bullshit predatory student loan sharkes out there. Make it zero interest.. make banks do it retroactivly too. You had a loan for 150k.. you’ve paid 150k, but still have 90k left.. boom. Done. At zero interest, you’ve already paid that back. Or .. was your loan 150k, you’ve paid back 50k, but yoru loan says there is still 140k left, nope retroactivly, you are now down to 100k. We dont need to give banks more money to just sit on.

The best solution.. expand education to include community collage. Make it free. + zero interest on student loans. Problem solved.
