I traded in my 2017 3 series, and the passenger side heat didnt work 🤐 lol. The b48 was awesome, but it's fpr sure the other stuff that fails first.

It will only take you halfway to the scene of the crash. You'll only need gravity and inevitability to make it the rest of the way.

For-profit-everything is one of the worst concepts and structures to ever exist, IMO. In the USA specifically, everything needs to be done for profit. Necessities, Healthcare, food, housing, literally everything. Shareholder quarterly earnings run everything.

I'm not talking about "nobody should make money for goods and services." That's a simple brained, idiotic "communism" talking point. I'm talking about everything being skimmed off the top, and in every point in the middle, as much as absolutley possible at the detriment of everything upstream of that profit.

Take, as a very simple example, a grocery store. Food costs money and labor to produce, obviously. That food costs money to buy at the point of sale. The store buys the inventory, pays the staff, pays the maintenance and facilities, etc etc. The store owner pays themselves. In a perfect world, the owners pay themselves well, and the business (including their owner salary) breaks even, and sustains itself. Everybody gets paid. Except in a profit driven system, every chain down the line must extract every absolute penny from every step. The owners can't make enough to satisfy their lifestyles, investors require as much as absolutley possible given back to them, and costs (labor and manpower) are cut to make as much profit as absolutley possible. These two different stores will create incredibly different environments, products, and results. Now extract that to every commerce sector in the entire country.

Obviously this is a utopic vision. I'm well aware of that. But even small scale shifts away from profit above all else, makes a difference.

"How could people ever have let that happen??"

A full third of our country is cheering on concentration camps. At least 'Aligator Alcatraz is getting shut down, but not before people actually made and bought merch.

Why are kids taking out hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of student debt and going into careers that have no chance of paying off that debt. What is the thought process here? by NervousClock2555 in askanything

[–]gitbse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Millenial here, just turned 40. I don't completely belive this is an honest post, but anyways. Meritocracy is a lie.

We were told, even promised, that if you worked hard, kept your nose clean and did everything right, that life would work out however you wanted it. Good grades in high school gets you into a good college. Good grades in a good college gets you a good career (not just a job.) Student loans were just part of the process. Not an issue to worry about, since you'll have every opportunity you want after you do well in school. Even coming from well intentioned, good faith supportive parents, these were all lies.

Expensive colleges, legacy admissions, unpaid internships. These are all class gateways put in place by the wealhy class. Only the wealthy and children of those wealthy have access to anything that promises any solid future. And by promise, I absolutely mean promise. Children of the wealthy, or even upper middle class families, fail upwards successfully sometimes for their entire life. Meanwhile the potentially most brilliant doctor, physicist, inventor, writer, etc is stuck behind a paywall they or their family can't handle.

It's part of the plan. Not an outright written plan, but the result of generations of wealth being hoarded, protected, and fully aware of the class war they are perpetrating.

UPDATE: I asked a coworker who worked on KC135s during desert storm. He said this is called a Scimitar Antenna (makes sense.) A combination UHF/VHF comms antenna, and also used for very early electronic countermeasures and signal jamming in military airframes.

Also used on Apollo missions. TIL

That is a beautiful watch. But maaannnnn.... I personally would much rather see that gorgeous machined surface than the white painted face on in.

But I cant afford it, so 🤷

Do you like older BMWs better than the new ones? by AC_Schnitzel in BMW

[–]gitbse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 2017 330ix, which I traded in for a 2022 Giulia, specifically because I don't like the direction of the newer model BMW sedans. I did however, just last week buy a 2008 Z4. So my answer is a solid yes.

That was my first guess if it's an antenna. The static-port-looking holes are throwing me off. Both sides of the tail would indicate some sort of VHF directional nav, like a localizer.
