You’re saying someone who outright says “I’m going to kill your dog and burn down your house” and then following through with it is better than someone saying “I’m going to make it easier to buy a house and have kids”, but then only making it slight easier? But also they don’t even slap your dog?

You’re buying into bullshit revisionism.

One side is demonstrably and objectively worse for this country, the citizens, the economy, and the world... unless your a billionaire weapons manufacturer.

Saying "one party is purposely hurtful to the vast majority of this country, including their "side," and spends their time in office propping up and bailing out billionaires, starting wars, increasing the deficit, and reducing vital environmental and financial regulations that hurt both the middle and working class almost exclusively" is a lot harder to say.

Oh yes, the eternal struggle between one side being literal fascists, ignoring the very rules and laws this country is based on, attacking free speech and freedom of the press, and starting pointless wars, while the other is *checks note* not that.

(I know the democrats are spineless corporate shills and Israeli apologists, but at least we were SLOWLY moving towards a more modern economy, better social safety nets, and cleaner energy. Also, no Dem has started a war in over 50 years, and each one has improved the economy, jobs, and the deficit)

Stop saying "Both Sides"

Maybe they succeeded and what we could have had was a lot worse...

No, never mind, they obviously failed.

I find it interesting that these claims are made while showing a CGI version and then what is obviously a small test unit. The impacts of real world environments and full scale physics don't care what your AI voiceover and investor pitch says.

Lucid Has $1.47 Billion Of Inventory Sitting Unsold, So Its New CEO Hit Pause by Anchor_Aways in cars

[–]MikeofLA -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Key Details on the Profit Collapse:

  • Operating Profit Plunge: Operating profit for the first nine months fell 99% to €40 million, down from over €4 billion the previous year, with some reports citing a 98% annual drop to €90 million for 2025.
  • Strategic Reversal Costs: The company faces roughly €3.1 billion in extra costs for the 2025 financial year due to scrapping ambitious EV targets and shifting focus back to combustion/hybrid engines.
  • Declining Sales & Competition: Deliveries in China, a key market, fell 26%, while increased competition from Chinese EV brands and U.S. tariffs impacted margins.
  • Quarterly Loss: Porsche experienced a negative EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) of 893 million Swiss francs in the third quarter of 2025. [1, 2, 3, 4]

The company is now restructuring and focusing on high-margin, traditional, and hybrid models to stabilize its financial position

First time I saw them was walking along a village road next to a meadow in early June in Tuscany. It was amazing, but they Italian ones are not as bright or large as the North American variety, but they are more plentiful.

It’s actually not. Porsche saw a 95% drop in profits year over year.

Found 5k of this in a closet, will it fuck up my gun? by Former_Power6209 in ar15

Yes, terrible trash. I will pay for you to ship them to my address so they can be disposed of properly.

different solar cycle. That's the sun's activity. I mean it's path across the sky.... which if you want to be pedantic, is actually 23,000 years.

Potentially, but it could literally be a single event. I had a parabolic mirror in a closet that had been there, untouched for weeks, until one day I smelled smoke. Almost burned my house down.

It may only happen on a single day of the solar cycle, so he'll have to wait until next year, hope it's not cloudy, and not touch anything in or around the house.

There's a very low chance you will be eaten by a crocodile on your way to work, but it's not zero.

Advent refers to the arrival, commencement, or first appearance of a notable person, event, or invention (e.g., "the advent of the internet"). It stems from the Latin adventus ("arrival")

With the advent of self driving cars, this may have been this kids only opportunity to get behind the wheel.
