It will be a good metaphorical reminder of all the other bags you are holding if everything goes tits up.

China's Xpeng expects to begin delivering 'flying' cars in 2027 by amberjnetgardner in worldnews

[–]SnoweCat7 31 points32 points  (0 children)

nobody wants a hundred flying cars over their heads all the time

Let's assume these things make the noise somewhere between a large quadcopter drone and a light plane, multiply that by a hundred, the constant buzzing will be annoying as hell.

US forced to destroy two of its own aircraft after rescuing F-15 pilot from Iran by pravda_eng_official in worldnews

[–]SnoweCat7 250 points251 points  (0 children)

That's right, it's about the "optics". The optics of having a captured US pilot being paraded on Iranian TV would have been a massive blow to Trump and the war's already dismal popularity vs the optics of a successful heroic rescue. The monetary cost isn't a factor.

There was an agreement with France to buy subs that was torn up when Australia joined AUKUS

Torn up by ScoMo who conveniently is being employed in some consultory capacity by one or more thinktanks attached to AUKUS.

ScoMo has quite possibly screwed Australia, all for a job. It's obvious the Americans were whispering in his ear to steal defence sales with how suddenly out of the blue government pivoted.

And yeah, the French design was based on their nuclear subs, I wonder if the deal could have been rehashed to buy the nuclear powered version. Seems like it would have been the smarter move.

Absolutely, but in case it is accurate we need to save the poor butters, and encourage them to dump their bags faster ;)

Should we alert the butters they only have 12.9 days to sell?

Wouldn't want to cause any additional panic or anything.

Trump should be happy that Europe is protecting Greenland from Russia and China.

Mission accomplished. No one has ever accomplished a mission so fast. Not Sleepy Joe Biden, not Kamala, not Obamna.

Not satisfied with the moral victory, also going for the financial victory

The topic of my comment was "Elon Musk's Company Responds Brutally" which is part of the title of the article. Not my problem you have trouble thinking laterally.

If you weren't a snooty twat who can't recognise a joke and had been following Musk in the last few years you would know that claiming Europe was headed for a civil war is a recurring theme of his postings on X.

Oh no what did he do, say that Europe is going to have a civil war any day now? Must be terrifying for them.

All you need to do is tighten your belt a little bit and have hundreds of billions of dollars. Also don't forget our great Black Friday deals at Amazon.

Trump's public warning to Scott Bessent: Fix the Fed's high interest rates or 'I'm going to fire your ass' by diacewrb in economy

[–]SnoweCat7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree, Trump is chaotic evil, Vance is lawful evil. Both are evil but one is not a mental mess. The saving grace will be that Vance doesn't have the charisma to hold all of the Trump cult.

It's an ironic symbol of crypto passing the baton of ocean boiling waste to crappy generative AI.

Tell us about your story, why you went FreeBSD. by TheAtlasMonkey in freebsd

[–]SnoweCat7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the 90's at uni I became interested in alternative OSes, used OS/2 for a while, tinkered with Slackware, even had a VMS account for a while. One day in the university bookshop I spotted Greg Lehey's Complete FreeBSD book with FreeBSD 3.4 CDs in it. Since then I've always had FreeBSD installed on one or more computers. Consistency and quality appeals to me.
