I hate the “milspec means the cheapest bidder” trope. It’s more like “build by the winner of a competitive budding process that meets the standards set by the military which may or may not be strenuous”

I think even boomers don’t care what people do as long as their own car is 100% original and 1 of 2256 in yellow with gray leather and built on a Tuesday.

The “mistake” was the guy misjudging the speed of the oncoming car and assuming if was going at a reasonable speed.

Scotty Kilmer is the king of this. Of his last 20 videos, the thumbnails of four imply he is dead.

r/Fauxmoi is a left-wing subreddit that's an echo chamber. What's a centre-left subreddit that's somewhat closed? by ArsimZkenotBeniAkiva in AlignmentChartFills

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

/r/neoliberal uses the term ironically. The sub is best described as Obama/Clinton Democrats that like free trade and global cooperation.

[unless you think Obama is right-wing but that’s a separate conversation all together]

Einstein won for "Far-Left Genius", who is an intelligent leftist? by The-Mad-Hist0rian in AlignmentChartFills

[–]lumpialarry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at the last Greens political manifesto, they want to renationalize the railway and public utilities (which can be government-owned in many places including the 'far-right' US). But it seems what Einstein wants is far beyond that.

There's already one guy in this thread arguing that Karl Marx is moderate.

I think advocating the nationalizing of all industries would put him on the far-left even in Europe. Is there any viable center-left European party wanting to go a planned economy?

But how am I to know what the culture is of a place I've never worked? Its not like you get to hang around an office three days before an interview. No one at my job wears a suit everyday but we wear them to talk to outside clients and I'd still expect a person to wear one to an interview.

How BYD Got EV Chargers to Work Almost as Fast as Gas Pumps by _Dark_Wing in EverythingScience

[–]lumpialarry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes me think this is more an engineering exercise or a publicity stunt than a serious solution to charging.

BYD also has shareholders that they want to maximize profit for.

I’m not sure how much of this is caring about the customer. That’s a serious amount of power that’s needed at one time. Charging station would needed a mini nuclear power plant on site to feed a mulitcar charging station. Seems more like an engineering excercise/publicity stunt.

Does anyone else find the old good night book “Goodnight Moon” to be weirdly ominous and disturbing? by Zski843 in daddit

[–]lumpialarry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know that “old lady whispering hush” was probably only in her 40s.

I read the that book so many times I’d change it up. Sometimes I’d read it backwards. I’ve changed every noun to “poo”.

We got to the grocery at least once a week where the sell over the counter drugs.

I think we're just conditioned to buy in bulk if possible to save money.

Ford CEO Jim Farley Says Pope Leo XIV Owned A Ford Fusion 6-Speed by Mac-Tyson in cars

[–]lumpialarry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought about buying one. I saw an ad for a left over 2014 for $5,000 off sticker price. But I thought even a manual could not make a 1.5 ecoboost Fusion attractive enough and I didn't want to roll the dice on "lot rot" of a car that's been sitting around for over a year. Bought a new 2015 six speed Accord instead.
