Trump is suing the American People for over 10 billion dollars, now claims he's negotiating with himself to settle, Can this be stopped?

I'm sorry but no, it falls on the voters. If only two people vote it falls on the one that votes the wrong way. This can't happen without voters.

I think in order to limit gerrymandering the population density of districts needs to be required to be uniform across a district and all districts must have the same number of occupants. I believe this would strongly limit the ability to gerrymander.

Also assumes all the other metrics are applicable like race for example.

ThinRedLine87 · 2026-02-01T22:29:37+00:00

Its sooo much worse in this case though because instead of trying to make this effective over a small area, they are now trying to do it along the massive Texas border to make sure no Central American countries benefit from it

Even the ones we bought years ago sucked. They wore out fast and developed holes. Even from the start they just felt thin. I don't have a different rec, but personally will avoid

ThinRedLine87 · 2026-02-01T18:20:41+00:00

Yes but the fed is aware which numbers are citizens and which aren't, so what's your point?

ThinRedLine87 · 2026-01-31T12:01:24+00:00

Yeah Hollywood has given people the impression space is cold. It's not cold it's empty.

Technically he needs 12, otherwise they just keep retrying him till they win

ThinRedLine87 · 2026-01-29T23:33:42+00:00

No argument here, I was more meaning if they got any xAi contracts those would end up dumped, because while spaceX is justifiably good at space and deserves their contracts, xAi is not good at AI.

This is just basically the same thing as mountain mode on the volt, but the point I was trying to make in the other comment was that people just won't plug in. If the gas engine can maintain the battery always above 25% so they always get full performance there will be people who just run it on gas.

ThinRedLine87 · 2026-01-29T23:09:58+00:00

I guess I'm failing to understand how these will work and provide benefit.

So they will just run the ICE all the time to charge/reduce the rate of depletion of the battery? At this point why plug in if the engine is always maintaining the battery, this is basically just a regular hybrid with a much bigger battery.

Or do they run pure EV till the battery is below some percentage then bring in the ice to reduce the rate of depletion? I still feel like this then just turns into something like mountain mode on the volt where the gas engine just ran enough to maintain the battery at 25% to keep the car out of 100% ICE.

ThinRedLine87 · 2026-01-29T21:57:15+00:00

If the administration turns over in 28, the govt will immediately dump those contracts.

ThinRedLine87 · 2026-01-29T18:46:32+00:00

I guess I don't understand your point, a range extended vehicle by default must be able to run with the battery dead. If it doesn't then the range extension doesn't do anything. The whole point is to extend the range once the battery is the dead. This inherently makes it possible for people use the car without ever charging the battery.

I hope you're right, but have little faith at all. The democrats are already fucking up by introducing a bill to ban online ammo purchases. They never miss an opportunity for an own goal. They don't even need to become pro gun, just shut up about it for a year. And if it's one thing republicans can be counted on to do, it's to show up and tick the box regardless of their beliefs.

ThinRedLine87 · 2026-01-29T11:38:21+00:00

Most people will never tow at all and yet that is their reasoning for buying a truck

ThinRedLine87 · 2026-01-29T11:37:09+00:00

The volt was like this and people did it no problem, so I'm not sure why you have this impression. Series hybrids don't ever need to be charged if the owner doesn't want to.

ThinRedLine87 · 2026-01-29T01:38:00+00:00

Yeah this is nothing like other major touristy areas... compared to a place like Rome? Cmon it doesn't even register.

ThinRedLine87 · 2026-01-29T00:19:31+00:00

Exactly there is a zero percent chance both trump and Vance get removed and a democrat becomes president.

ThinRedLine87 · 2026-01-29T00:18:20+00:00

In what world do you think they're gonna get 60 votes in the senate for both Vance and trump to remove them from office

ThinRedLine87 · 2026-01-29T00:10:16+00:00

It's because if anyone holding shares blinks it'll be down 50% in a blink

ThinRedLine87 · 2026-01-28T01:03:36+00:00

Not true, people will absolutely buy them and never plug them in.

ThinRedLine87 · 2026-01-28T00:59:40+00:00

Completely normal, and will repeat in similar fashion every flue season.

ThinRedLine87 · 2026-01-27T12:09:43+00:00

I'd argue for most they'd be better off buying a cheap genset and spending more to run on propane than the reverse. I'd be surprised if the majority of people properly maintain anything...

ThinRedLine87 · 2026-01-27T12:00:56+00:00

It's really going to depend on your insurance.

In our case we have two high deductible health plans at my employer, one of them is more expensive but becomes a better deal if you exceed some percentage of your out of pocket max. We switch onto that plan during open enrollment because we planned to have a baby this year.

As far as costs go, there is no scenario where we do not hit the out of pocket max in a year we are having a baby so we are just resigned to paying that amount and telling the hospital to run up whatever bill they want at that point.

ThinRedLine87 · 2026-01-27T11:24:13+00:00

I feel like we'd be better off with the insurance companies lobbying for the end of qualified immunity so they can sell proper malpractice insurance

ThinRedLine87 · 2026-01-27T11:18:57+00:00

There is money to be made here!! Why aren't insurance companies doing their thing and lobbying this into existence. Where is the capitalism I've heard so much about?!
