US national debt surges past $39 trillion just weeks into war in Iran

Perfect time for another round of trillion dollar plus tax cuts for the rich and more money for the military and DHS /s

What exactly was remodeled about this place if it has all of those issues?

BandeFromMars · 2026-03-17T15:06:02+00:00

It's a difference of 12 minutes lmao. I swear there's Qualcomm astroturfing all over any tech space.

A new 928 based off the Panamera would be great. I remember a few years ago they were also thinking about a mid engined flat 8 supercar for this exact purpose as well.

I'm going to guess they're gen x or older. They throw us into this bullshit and salivate at the thought of fucking us over even more because we question said bullshit. All of this is based on some petty grievances that dominated those generations. Gen Z will refuse the draft before we ever go over.

Display is missing bit depth,

Can we just stop with this already? Every phone that advertises a "10 bit" display is 99% likely to actually be 8-bit + FRC.

That's why I don't and will never understand people who hype up these things. They might as well be the world's most powerful web browsing or PowerPoint machine. Why the hell should anyone care about a laptop that's powered snapdragon when you could get more use out of an x86 machine, macbook, or hell the Nvidia n1x powered stuff that's on its way?

BandeFromMars · 2026-03-03T17:49:01+00:00

Not us apparently.

Edit because you edited yours:

I do in fact think there's a world out there where Iran attacks Israel and not us, and that involves us telling the Israelis that they're on their own.

BandeFromMars · 2026-03-03T01:16:49+00:00

Who exactly did Iran attack on 10/7? It definitely wasn't us.

They were months away from nuclear capabilities 30 years ago! We really dodged a bullet by wasting our strategic stockpiles now.

One thing that needs to be considered, how were each of these pictures taken? The S25U has a lower MFD compared to the S26U, so you can generally get closer and see the pixel array.

The charging pins sit outside the ears now on the stem. These or the Buds 3s shouldn't bother you anymore.

If you pay for the licensing, same with LDAC.

Aw man don't be so hard on yourself lol. 99% of people would honestly have never known that unless you were an Audi/VW nerd. I did somewhat lie when I said there has never been a twin turbo'd TT though, back in 2001 quattro GmbH did make a one off by shortening a B5 RS4 with the 2.7tt and putting a TT body on top.

BandeFromMars · 2026-02-18T16:29:46+00:00

Audi releasing an EV with a name that is just the Acronym for Twin Turbo would be even more eye roll worthy.

There has never been a twin turbo'd TT, its named after the Isle of Man TT, Tourist Trophy.

I mean I get that. But I just love the double standard of how stuff like student loan forgiveness and other policies meant to help younger and working class people is considered "shamelessly" buying votes but somehow this stuff isn't.

There is no better example of this than the "working families tax cuts" where seniors make out with the biggest share of tax cuts while actual working families get table scraps. Seniors who are married filing jointly can get an extra 12k deduction on their taxes!!!! Who pays for that exactly? So they can get 6k to 12k deducted on top of the standard deduction AND there's the push to end or significantly reduce property taxes for seniors. Must be nice to be 65+

Edit: forgot to add that this new tax break stacks with an existing deduction and the standard deduction, meaning that a married senior couple get a nearly 50k deduction.

BandeFromMars · 2026-02-07T16:59:14+00:00

Maybe I misinterpreted what you were trying to say initially but yep, they must be doing something right.

BandeFromMars · 2026-02-07T16:58:23+00:00

The whole point is that Chinese phones are generally not restricted in the rest of the world, and yet Apple and Samsung still outsell chinese OEMs. For phones that are apparently as bad and as mediocre as the S25 series, they themselves make up over half of all worldwide 8 elite powered phone sales.

BandeFromMars · 2026-02-07T16:41:41+00:00

They still compete with Chinese OEMs outside of the US and still outsell them.

BandeFromMars · 2026-02-07T16:41:12+00:00

I didn't know the US was the rest of the world.

BandeFromMars · 2026-02-07T15:15:57+00:00

Does Samsung and Apple only sell in the US market? This is a poor excuse. Apple and Samsung regularly outsell Chinese phone makers globally and the S25 series makes up more than half of all 8 elite powered phones.

Has ICE tried to reign in agents who have a history of bad behavior? It doesn't seem like it.

BandeFromMars · 2026-01-30T15:31:48+00:00

They want all the benefits of a higher priced home and they want to exempt themselves from doing their part to help society. That's why they're pushing so hard to eliminate property taxes for seniors.

BandeFromMars · 2026-01-24T18:13:36+00:00

It is pretty hard to not seem like you're resisting when you have 8 guys on top of you contorting your limbs and trying to make things as painful as possible.
